Pictures by the boy

The boy loves to take pictures. Before church today he got ahold of my camera and took some shots.  He is getting better about framing shots, at least we can tell what these are of.  Doesn't baby girl just look thrilled?

My gorgeous kiddos!

Not much explanation needed here....I got some great pix of the kiddos today.

Ready for work

The boy took this picture of Daddy in his work clothes. He looks so nice in a shirt and tie, I'm glad he wears one every day. The boy is a pretty good photographer, for a 4 year old!

I get by with a little help from my friends....and my favorite photo editing software!

You might remember this picture of the boy and his best little buddy from the other day. Well, I got to editing it, and I just LOVE it. I can't believe how sweet they are. I was thinking, wouldn't it be amazing if they really did end up getting married some day? They met when they were 2. It just seems so unfathomable that they might actually spend their whole lives together...Hmmm we shall see.

Boy soup

What does it say about me as a parent, that when the boy got himself good and stuck in this pot, I ran for the camera before helping him get unstuck?!

Portrait session

I took these today in our living room. My kids are such good sports. They have just come to accept that they will have to smile and sit up for the treat/ toy/ candy/ tv show they want!!

Sweet Child Of Mine

I did not think that Baby girl's pig tails could be any cuter...until I added curly corkscrew bows to them!! She looked ridiculously cute today! I had to get some pictures. The only thing that I could give her to keep her sitting and happy was my camera...like Momma like Daughter I guess! Her shirt says "I am Mommy's wish come true!" How stinkin' cute can one kid be, I ask you?!

All the leaves are brown...and the sky is grey.

I went for a walk, on a winter's day...and I saw this tree. I love this tree. Every time I pass this tree, I think to myself "I want to take a picture of that tree." So today I did. I just think it is beautiful and peaceful. I think all the branches are very dramatic. I love the snowy wintery landscape...even if it was a bit too early this year!

Families can be together forever!

I was privileged to attend the sealing of my dear sweet friend to her husband and children today. She asked me to take pictures for them, so this is just two examples of what I did. I am so blessed to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and to KNOW that families are forever. I am so glad to know that marriage does not have to be "till death do you part" and instead can be for "time AND all eternity." I am thankful to my friend for allowing me to participate in such a special sacred day, and I am so very happy for her and her family.

Me and my kiddos

The boy wanted to take some pictures, so we took a bunch of "self portraits" with Mommy holding the camera at arm's length. This was the best one, though there were a few cuties. The boy wanted to see every picture and then gave me tips; "no Momma hold it like this" or "you have to smile more." It was fun and silly.

Memories....one great lady

This photo was not taken today. It was actually taken about 6 years ago...I found a one time use camera lying around and decided to have it developed. This is a picture of my grandmother (who died last year), my mom, my sister, my niece, and me. It made me really happy to see these pictures today. So, today that was my miracle.
