Pioneer Woman Assignment - Dog & Boy

There is this fantastic website for photographers called The Pioneer Woman. She is an amazing photographer and really gives good advice to those of us who don't particularly know what we are doing quite yet. From time to time she gives "assignments" where you are suppose to submit pictures you've taken of certain things (i.e. - kids, animals, flowers, etc.). One of her recent assignments was to take one of her photos and do with it whatever you would like. Here is a link to some of the things people did with it. Anyways, I didn't get too creative but it was fun to mess around with Photoshop and Picasa. I only did a couple because I have so much else I should be doing tonight. But here are the two that I did.
The first one is her picture untouched.
This one I added a couple layers of color.
This one I didn't do much else except add a glow to it.

Group Shot Videos

Below you will see the videos that Jason shot while I was trying to get a group shot of the grandkids while in Kansas.

Cat vs. Printer

Had to share this video. The language gets a little foul but I was almost crying because I was laughing. You've got to listen to what the "cat" is saying.

Bell Ringers

This morning the kids rang the bell at church for the first time. It was a beautiful cool morning. I was hoping to get a great picture of them together since their outfits complimented one another. Zachary was not in the mood to take a picture and Addie was smiling all weird. Once I separated them I got some better shots....Would be a darling shot if it weren't for the darn tag sticking out of her top! Maybe I can photoshop that out of there.
Handsome Zachary
I saturated the colors a bit since the orange is so pretty on him.
When we got to the church I tried one last time to get a good picture of the two of them together. I didn't get one of them looking at the camera together but I think Addison looks absolutely beautiful in this one.
And I thought this one was sweet.
Here they are waiting to ring the bell.
Father Roberts is explaining to Addie that she is pulling the wrong rope.
Zach is giving it all he's got!
