365 W5

So I have failed miserably last week and this week.  Carter and Niles were sick last week and I've been sick this week.  So needless to say, I have been taking pictures, but not trying anything new and not really taking it off of the automatic green box.  Most of them are also of things in my house, because that is where we have been secluded to.

D28:  My last bags of milk for Carter:)

D29: Rock Chalk!

D30: Ok so this was taken on day 29, he is laughing at Lil in this pic

D31:I wanted to take it right at her eyes, but apparently we are mean owners and she won't look us (or the camera) in the eye and kept bowing her head at me.  I promise we don't beat her

D32

D33 So not a great picture (Nick if you comment on the dust under my electronics, I will scream at you:), but this pic has a funny story.  Niles and Carter are in an ongoing argument.  Carter thinks this speaker should go down and Niles thinks it should set up.  They go back and forth all night.  You would think we would have moved it by now, but then you would have to move all of the surround sound and we are way to lazy for that.

 D34 So not only have we been sick, but teething as well.  Great shot of those Hinson Cheeks!

In a week where members of our valley have lost their sons, I dedicated my camera to mine:)

D22:  I was going for the forefront in focus, the background blury, look how even the back of his head is out of focus, I like it:)

D23: Giving Daddy a smile as he comes up the stairs

D24:  I was trying to get this face

 and somehow this one turned out with the background all black...cool mistake!

d26  So this day we went to the memorial service for Taft.  It was also the anniversary of the plane crash.  The Conlin family lights a candle every night with a prayer in mind.  They passed out tea lights and asked for everyone to light the candle for Taft with their family.  The pin is what they gave the basketball staff.  I put them together for a pic.  I didn't mean to do it, but I like the reflection in the countertop.  I do not like how you can see crumbs on my countertop!

D27  Turns for Taft!  We headed up to Vail with the Letos.  Niles and Lonnie joined hundreds of people at  Chair 4 to do a run in memory of Taft.  You were suppose to wear pink.  That was Tafts favorite color.  Niles tried on my pink wig under his helmet.  He decided against it, but not before I could grab a pic with my phone!

D15:  Snow!  I tried getting the snow frozen and blurred.  I need a better background, but I was feeding Carter breakfast and in my bath robe.  Not exactly going to venture out in search of a better back ground than my deck.

 D16:  Carter the trendy baby

D17:So another deck pic, but his time the sky is blue!

D18:  His hand and the look on Jasmine's face is fantastic!

D19:  I used my birthday gift to take candle pics

 We can call this...birthday self portrait ( I did take this one myself)

 and it took me so long I almost caught the cake on fire

D20:  Perfect opportunity to practice a little Macro photag with by birthday flowers

D21: Tried to get a soft, glowy pic of Jazz in the sun, didn't quite work out for me.  Need to look for a tutorial on how to do that!

365: Week Uno

I had a lot of fun this week.  It was all about getting to know my camera.  I know everything now...not really.  I can change my aperture and shutter speed.  It is a good start.

D2:  Go Cowboys!  Carter had just gotten up from a nap and his hair was doing this...

D3:  Bowling with the Letos!  Lonnie won, Niles almost got beat by 7 month prego Taber. Maizy was adorable with Carter as usual.  I had prob with these pics, white balance is what I think I need to work on.

D4:  Sunset from our deck

D5: Carter's first Spaghetti

D6: 12th Night, this is where Christmas trees come to die:(  Fire is hard to photograph.  I need a tripod to do stuff like this!

D7: Finally we have...Snow!!!
