Baby Boy as Baby doll

We have taken to calling Ethan "Baby Boy" but you have to say it like your Flavor-Flav (The one with the clock around his neck) The other day, Theo and I found ourselves some time to watch a movie that was NOT made by Disney. Needless to say we were so excited to watch "our show" that I wasn't really paying much attention to Ethan. He was right there with us playing on the floor so I knew where he was, and that he was safe but I was really into the movie. Well then I hear a little giggle and look down to find him like this...
he had dismantled Leah's baby doll crib and climbed in and apparently thought it was just TOO funny! He's just too much that one! He's going to be the comedian of the three, and the other two are already pretty darn goofy so this little one is going to be a riot!!!

My Alter EGOS meet at last......

I've been good friends with both of these girls for several years. Lisa and I worked together at Lindey's and became good friends. Danielle moved in down the street when were both pregnant with Leah & Abbey. She is also the one that had a baby, Amelia, the same day Ethan was born. We also have become the best of friends. I couldnt make it through the week without these two women in my life. Well somehow these two had never met. They thought the other was a figment of my imagination.

Well when they both came over for Easter brunch I had to capture the moment. It's a great picture. But I had to "add" a special little touch to capture their TRUE personalities.... Lisa, Cathie, & Danielle

A Super Star!

Alex just finished his first season of basketball. He played for the "Lakers" and really had alot of fun! Last night was the awards ceremony and he was so thrilled to get his "Biggest trophy yet" He now has 4 and has asked for a shelf to put them on so the babies dont get them and break them. But here are some pictures of our SuperStar
Leah was so tickled by everyone clapping
One of Alex's biggest fans, Good 'ol Nanny

More Projects for school

Some of you have asked about what I'm learning in school. Other than learning how to "Operate" my camera properly and lighting techniques. Probab ly most importantly I'm learning how to use the editing software. These are some projects that I've done the last few months... I'm not sure what happened to the colors on the Ad above. The orginal colors arent quite so whats the word, oh yeah, Neon. (eekk) But you can see the general layout and design!
I started with this and ended up with this
This one is probably my favorite AD... see the "movement" underneath the tires... I was trying to cover up the bottom of the wheels because they were ALL jacked up!
I'll start taking requests now to make Christmas cards, wedding and birthday invitations, You name it, I'll make it. In todays day and age you can send me any digital images and I can do just about anything to them. You want it to look like you were on a date with Brad Pitt, DONE..... Just beware of Angelina, she isnt NOT someone I'd want to make mad!

The Legend of the Leprechauns

Full of Magic and trickery the leprechauns remain in their hidden world until the night before St. Patrick's Day. Disguising themselves as leaves and grass and sounding like the wind they come and go UN-noticed. However it is said that if a decorated treasure box is left empty under the moon, the leprechauns must fill the box with gold, jewels, or gifts. But then they will hide the box in the most unlikely of places. If the box is found on St. Patrick's Day the treasure remains in our world. If not, the leprechauns may retrieve the box and the treasure inside. Although Leprechauns are very clever it is not impossible to find their treasure because unknowingly they often leave a trail of greenery behind them. Have your child decorate an empty box and just before bed on the eve of st. Patrick's day. place they box on a windowsill where the moon will shine upon it. In the morning search for a trail of green in the hopes that you will find the treasure they left behindEthan's Leprechaun Treasure box (He had a little help)

Leah is so proud of her box it has a star and a circle and a.......

What it lacks in flashiness it makes up for in functions there is a Leprechaun GPS system that will secretly attach to the back of him when he's put the treasure in the box then after he hides the box he will be able to locate not only the treasure but the Leprechaun and their secret world and he'll be able to get all the treasure (the boy has one heck of an imagination)

ALSO it's important for me to let my family know...... I ALLOWED my kids to use ALL the Paper, glue, and tape that they wanted to use for their creations and did not once try to hide it from them It's your fault if you didn't by stock in Elmer's or Scotch tape....... :)

Mindi's kids

These are my Niece's, Hannah and Maddison & my Nephew Garrett. Their Mom, Mindi, is Theo's sister. (Just making sure you know how I acquired them) Anyway they also agreed to pose for me and I got some really good shots. It helps that they are so cute and didn't pull a Naomi Campbell on me. (NO phones were thrown at my head)

Here is the whole clan

This is the oldest Hannah
