HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!!!

This weekend has been very busy so I'm a day late. We had Austyn's first communion and Tayt was miniature king at prom...all in one day! Not sure how Courtney does it, but they got it done! So here is a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my first son-in-law, a fantastic husband, amazing father and awesome son-in-law! Love you Dave!

One of my favorites, getting cooled off by his brother Jacob! Love the look on Chris's face as he watches!

16/52 photo challenge

Just a few pictures I took the last few weeks. A couple of them I turned black and white or sepia in my camera settings. I really try to get my pictures straight out of the camera. I really admire those who can do so much with all the new programs and can "fix" so much. I'm sure it saves a lot of good shots and makes nice shots into great shots. But I really enjoy getting a good shot with little or no adjusting on the computer. That's just me and how I enjoy taking pictures. I am by no means an expert, but I never get tired of working hard at getting a shot or just getting really lucky and looking into the screen and just feeling "Ah that turned out good!" So here are a few of my latest, hope you enjoy!

I was hoping I would be posting some green grass, kids riding bikes, anything other then snow! So I thought I would do another post of this month in past years! Here goes April!

These 2, top and bottom are 2010

And yes, these almost made me cry...last year...2012!

And I made sure I picked some from the middle of the month! Hard to believe there is such a change from year to year!

2013 just a week ago!

Randy and I are in full agreement that when this weather breaks we will be hitting the beach and outside every day we can! It really makes us appreciate what beautiful weather we have had in the past! Come on Spring, we are all waiting!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NASH!!!!

2 years old

Nash is 4 today!!!! What a sweet little guy this kid is! Full of kisses, hugs and I love yous! I asked him last weekend if he wanted to go with me to get him a birthday present and he says "NO!" hmmmm, so I ask if he wants to go with me to pick out his own present and he says "NO!" another hmmm. So I say "Nasher, you want to just think about it?" He gets that beautiful big smile and says "Yeah, I gona tink about it!" This kid is priceless!

14/52 photo challenge

So Spring is trying to come, at least some of the birds are coming back. We went for a walk the other day and really enjoyed seeing some geese and sand hill cranes. But the poor things are struggling thru snow and ice! They must be wondering why in the world they flew this far north!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAX

Look who's turning 3! I was trying to think of words to describe this little guy but as I read facebook this morning I have to steal his Grandma Mimi's description- "an amazing little boy, smiles, hugs, lovin life! Three years old with lots of adventures in his future!" So well said Patti! Love you Jax man, HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY!!!!
