Your way to beautiful girl....

Crews Birthday

For Crew's 2nd birthday we went to Thanksgiving Point Farm, or other wise know to my girls as Day Care Farm. Avery has been there a few times and went right up to the animals to feed them. The baby cow licked her face she loved it. There were so many new baby goats. They are so dang cute. We were lucky enough to see the peacocks show there stuff at the same time. While Zoey was ready to get on the big hore he went nuts and got his neck stuck in the chain. He then got loose and was very mad. It was a bit scary and the assistant didn't know what to do. So a little excitment on th pony ride. Addi was freaked out and didn't enjoy her ride, she was scared that the horse would freak. Happy Birthday Crew!

Born to Bike or maybe just look at it

Amberly and I bought road bikes this year. The only prerequisite for our bikes were that they had to be cute. It is very hard to find a cute bike, or girlie bike. Most are very masculine red, black, white. After a ton of searching we found the perfect match. Love my bike, and Jodie said it passed the quality test. There is a lot of gear that goes into biking, clothes love the spandex with a diaper in the bottom, shirts, clocks, shoes, pedals, helmet, glasses. Finally ready to ride, Saturday we did a 37 mile ride from AF around the lake, to the mouth of provo canyon, back to the lake and home. We are going to ride the Logan Little Red Riding Hood Ride in a few weeks. I will do 40 Amber has aspirations to do more like 60 or more. Not me 40 sounds good. Here we are ready to ride. After all the money you spend to bike, you still cant help but looking like a dork.

Attitude

I found these pictures on my camera Zoey took of herself. She really loves to pose. She thinks she 's it.

No Doubt

Steph and I went to No Doubt and Paramore to get our groove on. We had a great time. No Doubt rocked, much better than my last concert MC Hammer.

Photo from week 2 assignment

I have always wondered how to take a picture of water and have it turn out like this. Well I finally found out and I was so excited how this turned out. I might just have to frame it. Years from now I might look back on this picture and be able to pick out the flaws, but for now Im happy with it. This photography stuff is more difficult than it looks. Once you put it on Manual mode too much to think about. You have to analyze what look your trying for. Blurring out the background, action, speeding up, slowing down. Then once I get this down if that is possible then there is editing. I don't have an artistic eye, but I do see so many cool looks you can get by editing. My hobbies are photography and scrapping pictures, that should be relaxing and enjoyable. Instead it gives me anxiety, to much to learn, not enough time, and I want to be good at it. Any great ideas let me know. I have to get busy for next weeks class, more of an artistic approach with lines, shapes, colors, textures. We will see what I find, my little models are growing impatient with me snapping shots all over the place. Maybe I can bribe them with snow cones from the snow shack.

Mothers Day

For Mothers Day I bought me a new Canon T1i Digital camera. It just came out so I am super excited. I started taking a photography class and got the bug to get a new one. I sold my 2003 Rebel in a few hours on KSL Classifieds so I felt a little better about spending money I don't have on a new one. After seeing how easy it was to sell my digital camera, I sold my old Nikon 55 film camera in 2 hours. I only was asking $50 but I will never use it and haven't for about 6 years. I am on the hunt to see what else I can sell. I took some pictures for my assignment and feel I still don't have a clue. It will be interesting to hear what she has to say. How bad can it be when your girls are this cute how can I go wrong. I just love these girls so much, they are to cute and so funny.
