Which is your favorite?

Me, Pictures
OK, I let Kevin try and get some good shots of me lastnight.  It's really hard for me to let go of that control so it gets a bit tense...  Thanks Kevin for being patient with me.  We need to take another good chance to get some portraits of each of us in better circumstances and lights. Anyways, which is your favorite? A B C D

Finally Last Sunday’s “Session”

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures
Rather play date, LOL!  The boys were having fun, and I was having fun.  Win/Win. :) This was a week and a half ago. We set up the boys indoor play tent and they quickly filled it with a toy stash and some left over boxes and set to work having fun, while I pulled out my camera and snapped some shots.  Even Joey got in on the fun towards the end. Silly Boys. Mom!  Watch this!!! A Mommy favorite. Another Mommy favorite. Nobody is silly here!! Joey getting in on the big boy fun. Hey!  What's this about??? Anything for you big brother. Baby toes.  Awww! I just love the back of his little head. Baby Kisses!!! Buddies and Brothers.

Edouard Pics

Aiden, Family Fun, Kevin, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Pictures
These are some pics that Kevin snapped of me. This is how wet I got in about 1 minute in the rain when I went to go move the car to make sure it didn't have the tree fall on it if the storm really picked up. There were not many dry spots on my shirt.  It was totally salt water, my eyes stung so badly!  Me and my Cookie.  He loves rain just like his Mommy. Aiden ran into an open drawer in the kitchen lastnight! I'm so glad it didn't actually get his eye, but I felt so bad. As usual he didn't really care once the initial pain wore off. And one I took of the clouds after the storm.  Not much of an obvious pattern, but…

Gramee’s

Aiden, Family Fun, Humor, Memories, Pictures
So, as I browsed the family blog this morning (my Rawlings family and I have a private family blog), I was talking with Aiden about who the people were in the pictures.  He likes pictures. When we were at IKEA last Saturday Aiden saw a tall dark man with dreads and glasses.  He pointed and yelled "Guy!"  Why I knew he meant our friend Isani, I don't know, but I knew, LOL!  Sure enough, when he saw the pic with Isani in it on the blog (one of the ones I posted here) he yelled "Guy!"  LOL!  I guess I was right! Then we scrolled down to the post my Mom had done about some stuff my family had done with Kevin's family, and posted some pictures. He was too…

Another IKEA Saturday.

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Life in Texas, Me, Memories, Michael, Pictures, Venting
Daddy Smiling as we're finally out on our way.  Mom was super slow getting ready to go, and so we left about 3 hours later than he would have liked. We went to a fun little BBQ place and enjoyed a quiet lunch. We got to IKEA and dropped Michael off at Smalland, and headed on our way enjoying the whole showroom floor at a snails pace. A pretty dish set with lots of colorful creamy Bokeh. A head board I like a lot, thought I think Kevin has had his share of iron beds and our next one will be wooden, or if it's the right fabric, upholstered. We timed it just right to be done with the top floor just as it was time to pick up Michael.   …

Photography Stuff

Aiden, Baby Joey, Family Fun, Me, Michael, Pictures, Venting
My favorite lens died. :(  I'm so sad.  I don't know if it's cheaper to have it fixed or replaced, and if I get it fixed, who says it'll stay fixed.  It's the auto focus mechanism that's out, and maybe those parts are like transmissions, and once they're gone they tend to be a money pit until you replace the whole thing...  So I'm looking for a new lens. But, playing around I got these two and edited one of Joey's to sorta match. What'aya think?  Should I get them printed?

The BIG news!

Baby Joey, Pictures
OK, big to me!. . . . Joey is sitting up!!! Joey fell over trying to watch Michael instead of worrying about sitting up, LOL!  I waited so I could get a chance to do a little photo shoot and show you all his delicious chubs.  His hair is getting lighter and blonder.  It'll probably only be a week or two until I announce he's crawling too.  He's really moving now.  It's funny cause he's trying to figure out how to roll from his belly into sitting up, it's rather cute.  Though I may be bias, since he's mine and all.  :)
