Are you tired of seeing this picture?

I have been playing around with different conversions of this picture. I'd love to know which one you prefer. Just scroll down and take a look at the different ones and let me know what you think.

Jack lost his first tooth!

This actually happened about a month ago, but I am just getting around to posting it.

Digging into the archives...

I was looking for a picture and came upon this one of the three of my kids. It's not the best, but I like that they are all looking at the camera, which is more than I can say for my recent attempts.

Beautiful green eyes!

My son has the most gorgeous green eyes, he gets compliments all the time from total strangers. I wish I could take credit, but they are all his dad, in fact it's one of the things, physically anyway, that attracted me to him. This picture doesn't do them justice, but someday I will get them in all their glory.

Photoshoot

I've been trying to get some really good pictures of my daughter. I've noticed that I don't have nearly enough of her. I guess just because she's always in school or at some event and I have a ton of the boys. I mostly have Ben because he's the one home all the time. So my goal this summer is to even it out a bit.

Maddison

The kids were playing in the sprinkler yesterday and I got this of Maddison. Isn't she beautiful?

Something new I learned today!

I made my first storyboard today, I am so proud of myself. It looks very simple, but I can add just about anything to customize it.

Vintage play

I was messing around in photoshop, I know this really doesn't work for this pic, but was having fun playing around.

A look into the future?

If this a picture of what is to come, I think we are in trouble. Ben was giving his friend Eilee a ride on his Harley and kept making sure her arms wer around him, it was so cute.

Meet Libby!

Our new little mutt, she is great. She's a little timid and barks at just about everything, I think she has the makings of a great watchdog.

New Life...

Well we are giving it another go with a puppy. This one was free and from my hometown, where maybe they breed a little stronger pups. She is black lab/blue heeler mix and very cute. I will soon have pics but just wanted to give you an update.

Sad Day.....

Our puppy died yesterday morning at 7:55 am. The vet said she probably had a heart defect or something like that, but it was awful. The kids watched as Andrew tried to give it mouth to mouth and it happened so fast we were just a mess. Don't know what we are going to do next, but it has not been easy to deal with two dog deaths in 7 weeks.

Chives a bloomin'

I was playing around with macro today and look what I caught.

The newest member of our family!

Meet Sadie, the newest member of our family. We got her yesterday and fell in love immediately. She is super sweet and is already becoming spoiled rotten.

Big Splash!!

We went to a lake this weekend with some friends of ours, who graciously let us tag along for free. We stayed in a cabin and went around the lake on a party barge and the boys rode the waverunner. We had a blast and I couldn't believe my boys rode the waverunner, they loved it!!!

My kids on the beach!

Here's one of my kids on the beach , we went to the Bahama's last week and it was wonderful!

Ben having breakfast at the beach house

I loved the lighting in this house, it was wonderful.

Playing with some new color actions!

I love Brenda's color boost, it's just subtle enough. I can't wait to do more with it.

Just when I thought I had a good picture...

Someone makes it sooo much better. I belong to this photography website, where i am surrounded by geniuses and one of them did this to my pic.

My three year old!

I've been trying to get some pictures of my three year old, since before he turned three. It is just not easy to get eye contact. Anyway here is a few of the ones we took today.
