VEGAS!

Well I didn't manage to get many pictures while we were down there. We spent most of our time at the builders convention, and by the time that was over I was so exhausted that I just wanted to go home and get off my feet! Took a few pics here of the Eiffel tower, the closest I'll ever get to the real thing, unless I strike it rich someday!

As you all know some of the strangest people in the world you'll find in Vegas. Then there's those crazy religious ones that hold their signs telling you your going to hell. I had to take a pic of this sign cuz it made me laugh.
We went on a hike at red rock canyon or something like that, and Russ took some pictures of me. It was funny cuz he holds down the shutter to hard and takes like 20 pics all at once, so I started making faces for every frame. He thinks he's a pro now.

We drove up to the Las Vegas Temple and took some pictures. I would've loved to have gone through a session while we were there, but then Russ would've been all alone for 2 hrs and complaining. Just being on the grounds gives you a great feeling I almost started crying. It's a beautiful temple and I'm sure its even more wonderful on the inside.

My Boys!

Koen is nothing like Payton, especially when it comes down to being my model. I did manage to get a few cheesers from him, but that's about it. Russ came down and helped with Koen for a bit. Here's what I was able to get. I know you get tired of seeing pictures of Payton, so I'd love to photograph any of you. I'm thinking of adding to my blog and setting up a Photography one as well, so keep a look out for that coming soon....

Got it!

I think I've got it! Here's some way cute pictures of Payton modeling for me again. These are my favorite because they really capture her personality. For those that know her, you can't help but smile at these. They just SCREAM Payton!

January

I just wanted to post this picture because I Like it.
I know total randomness, but I really don't care, it's my blog and I can do what I want with it!
Ha ha. I've decided to choose a favorite picture every month and post it. Strictly for my own pleasure, so just DEAL!
(sorry I don't know what's gotten into me today, I'll blame the stress.)

Model

So, I'm trying to get my lights set up in my basement, and get my camera at a setting so that my pictures come out nice. Payton has been great being my little model. She gets bored quick, but enjoys it anyway. Here's a few pictures of her. My backgrounds aren't up yet so there is a lot of white going on.

Happy Birthday Koen part 1

Koen is 2 today! He seems so grown up, not much of a shock to me, he's been 2 in my mind for quite a while now. He's so funny I had to post this video of him opening some presents this morning. Make sure you watch the whole thing cuz the best part is what he says at the end! It makes me laugh, he's been saying it all day! I'll post more of the days events when I get more time.


Before I got the camera out I'd tell him we needed to go change his diaper, his reply "Oh...Mine... Gosh!" He says it the same way every time. He used to only say Oh. The things they pick up from big sisters.

We are truely Amazing

Payton and I went to Body Worlds today. She loved it. She's our future of medicine. It was such a great educational tool for her. She loves learning about her body, and what everything does. She was the youngest in our group out of the kids, and she was the most interested and attentive. I love that she loves this stuff! I asked her what her favorite part about it was, and she said the one with the hair. since there was only one, here's a picture. She asked so many questions and it was fun for me to answer them in a way that she understood, and to see her expression of understanding and excitement. I would recommend this to everyone, as long as you don't have a weak stomach. It's only here for a while longer. It's a bit pricey but worth it. $22 for adult and $16 for child. Makes you appreciate more what God gave us. Go to www.theleonardo.org/bodyworlds for more info.
