Thanksgiving at the Bay

For Thanksgiving this year we went to the bay. Most of the time the weather was great. Warm enough to wear shorts and a t-shirt. On Friday it got real windy and rainy. Today when we left it was sunny but chilly. Which I actually thought felt great! On Thanksgiving Day Jason and I took the kids down to Fort Morgan to explore the old fort. Most of it was closed but we walked around a few spots that were in front of the main fort.

The kids actually let me take some pictures of them. Zachary is in desperate need of a haircut but still cute!! Addie has the flash light gun that the kids used to look inside the dark rooms.

I think this is a sweet picture of Jason & Addie.

Zachary is picking the sand spurs off his shoe. They were every where!

This little guy was crawling on the steps when we got back to the house.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

Will

We are at the bay for Thanksgiving. We are having a great time although it's SUPER windy and cold today. Yesterday I took some pictures of Will...

Addie

I took the kids' picture last Monday for our Christmas card. Obviously I don't want to post the pictures before you all receive our card but I did want to share this picture of Addie. I just love it.

Wacky Tacky Tuesday

A couple of weeks ago was Say No to Drugs at Zach's school. Each day they did something different. One day was wear red, one day was wear a crazy hat, etc. On Tuesday they were supposed to dress Wacky. Here is what Z and I came up with.....

The Bribe (cont.)

Here is the second location. The kids had fun crawling up the fence.

I told Zachary to give Addie a kiss on the top of her head. Addie wasn't having any of it.
Some flowers that I saw.
Here is the third location. I told Zach he didn't have to smile if he didn't want to.

I told Addie after the third location that we needed to go home. She was upset that we weren't going any where else. I drove past these plants on the way home so I told her we'd make one more stop. I thought they might make some good color in the background. It looks like Zachary is being forced to pose but I told him he didn't have to get out of the car if he didn't want to!

I can't wait to keep practicing!!!

The Bribe

I really want to start seriously practicing my photography. Today I bribed the kids with milkshakes so I could practice taking pictures at a few locations I have been wanting to try. It was pretty gloomy all day so I was excited when the sun came out this afternoon.

In this picture the kids are looking into the sun. Normally I'd want the sun behind them but I wanted to see if I could ge the water in the background.

You can kind of (barely) see the water in this picture!!

Off to the next location......

I will do a different post with the rest of the pictures....
