A day at the ballfield
I wasn't going to add this picture cause Tyler looks so funny but they were being silly and I thought it was cute. This is the beginning of what is the busiest time of our lives. All the kids are on a team and we have somewhere to be every night of the week. Crazy but we all enjoy it!!

Rainy Rainy Day
Well again after dad died (sorry to keep bringing that up) we just needed something. My kids were sad and I was sad so what better way to cheer us all up... PUPPIES! AWWWW look how cute.
We all LOVE these dogs to death. They really helped us heal a little. My girls took over the role of dressing them up. HOWEVER, reality kicks in when you have to deal with things like: POO or them deciding to go through the garbage, or when they decide to become a nick nack and sit on our end tables, or when they tear around the house when kids are sleeping, or when they bark at birds or a leaf moving outside, or when we find a dog on TOP of our counter eating a pot of spaghetti. Funny now, but let me tell you - that dog had a red face for quite a while! and we had NO left overs for the next day. I could go on and on but when you love something you just do it, right? RIGHT???
One more thing we get to deal with is what we call yucky wet dog. You know the deal... towels, sitting by the back door till they are a little dry, and worst of all the smell. EWWW! He is so proud to be slopping around in the rain!
We all still love them, and we just deal with it cause we LOVE them, RIGHT????
So even though it isn't sunny and beautiful out, I still wanted to take some pictures. So I opened my back door and this is what I see. I suppose with no rain we wouldn't see those beautiful trees turning greener every day or the buds on those trees coming out. I feel the urge to try to brighten the tree shot, but let me tell you, there is NOTHING bright about this dreary gorgeous day.

A Day at my moms
On the way - I noticed some more beautiful flowers. Actually I am quite obsessed. I am sure this phase will pass but bear with me while I take a gabillion pictures of every weed, flower or leaf.
So I am so obsessed with nature shots right now - so very very pretty. Thanks Bea and Angie for teaching me a little about my camera.
I guess this blog is my therapy right now. Maybe I will start taking pictures of actual people soon, we'll see.

My first nature pictures
Impressive - Right? Ok not so much - but I was excited that I learned how to do that blurry thing. I have to say 4 woman taking pictures of buds, bugs, pine cones, ANYTHING with color, and twigs may look crazy to some people. Lord help us if a bird sat on a tree or a bee buzzed... cameras were ready for anything! So here is a few more that I personally am impressed with because I actually focused myself!
Sure am loving that blurry thing. Since my dad died, I just haven't cared about much. I do what I have to to get through each day. Hopefully my kids feel how much I love them but other than that I just haven't cared. Needless to say I have sat in our house for almost 2 years. OK so I wasn't exactly active before but... after today, I can actually say I breathed oxygen, walked for like ever, and actually enjoyed living so thank you ladies. I had a great time.
Now if I can just learn how to take pictures of people and if I can learn photoshop ~ OH MY, I will be so happy. In due time!!!
