What a Sunday!

As some of you may know I am seriously considering hiring out my photography services. This is mainly due to the fact I need some way to support my habit. The good stuff is kind of expensive and I want, I want, I need I need.

So, yesterday I lined up some willing parents, and some unwilling children to come over for pictures. It started at 9:30 with little miss Skye. It took her a little bit to warm up, but we got it done and she played with Reese for a while too.





Angie, a good friend and awesome potter, brought some pieces over to be documented. She was kind and patient enough to fill the down time between kids.

At 11:30 a gal I work with brought her very cute 2 month old over. He was awake, and mellow. We even went al'natural. No accidents even.




At 12:30 Anna brought their lovely daughter Mikaela over. She was a fun energetic little girl. Lesson one learned. (always have extra batteries) We have rechargeable for most things but not the CR123a batteries for one flash. The awesome wife ran and got me some and the shoot went on.

After she was done it was a quick lunch break and back to finishing up the pottery. I rapped up shooting around 3:30 and wanted to get right into editing. We did have dinner plans though so I had to hold back just a bit.


Just two of the amazing works of Angie. The girls got skills what can I say.





Dinner was another awesome event. We ate at my cousins Tim and Jenny with there kids and stayed till 10 talking and playing games. They have a truly wonderful house made excellent food. And even though we warned Reese about all the pretty girls being related to him, it couldn't be stopped. He did like Ryan too. Thanks again Smith's for your hospitality and overall good time. I think we should schedule sometime soon for the next one.


After we got home I put in some work on editing and got a few done that I've shared here. Now time to finish the rest.

I say mission success at this time.

Only 2 months left on fastest year ever.

This weekend I went to Ben's house to use his beautiful north facing bay window again. This baby just proves life isn't fair. Ladies you have no chance against his natural charm and awesomeness. I apologize in advance.







Thank you again Ben for hosting us. We will certainly do it again some time.

Time to get fit

It happened the first of the year. I had to buy pants in a bigger size. Not the first time I bought 38's. Didn't make it any better though. Also skiing with my dad and brother was well not as awesome as it could have been. Luckily I am not the only one wanting to get fit. Quite a few of my inlaws and of course Kati have entered a little contest. It started the first of Feburary and goes until April.

I started out doing Wii active. It was a fun start, got me soar but didn't really get me into it. Kati is still going strong with it and has my vote for the win. She is one determined cookie. So I basically slacked off Feb only loosing 2 pounds.

Then I got a hold of P90x. Stop laughing its awesome. I have now done it for 6 days and man is my butt getting kicked. Also we as a household have really started to eat healthier again. (Thanks babe!) She keeps coming up with new recipes for us to try. And when she buys less snack foods I eat less snack foods. Weird how that works. My weigh in is on Monday so we shall see how this week worked for me.

Good news is I am pumped. Depending on the final results I might be brave enough to post some before and afters. We shall see.
