Valentines Day Photos

I thought that it would be fun to go and practice taking some photos of my kids for Valetines day. Practicing taking these photos made me realize that I really need to take some more photography classes. I also think that it would help to have someone who knows what they are doing to show me how...any volenteers??? Well anyways, when I first started taking these photos I couldn't figure out what setting would be the best and most of the pictures were turning our either way too dark or way too light. After taking lots of photos with no luck,I started to get really frusterated and just as I was about to give up...BINGO!! I had finlly got the right setting and they started turning out. So there you go people when you get disouraged and frusterated just keep trying until you get it right! Here are some of my favorites.

Acadia doing the sign for dog.




Her she is barking at the dog.





Last Saturday I took Daxton and Acadia outside to play for a little while. Daxton is such a good older brother! When he wasn't pushing Acadia in the swing he was either carrying her around showing her things or making sure she didn't get hurt. We are really blessed to have him in our lives. Acadia is such a sweet loving spirit as well. I always enjoy watching her facial expressions and how excited she gets when she sees dogs. It never fails every time she sees one, whether it is real or fake she will begin to bark, it is the cutest thing ever!!!

My friend Robin came over today and we made some congo bars and hungout. It was so nice spending time with her! It feels like such a long time since we've spent time together and I am so glad that I got some Robin time in today...I really love that girl!

Going private

My husband has finally won the battle and I am going to be going private with this blog. I don't know why I have been so against going private...OK, I actually do. It is because he has been hounding me and telling me that I should ever since I started it. I am a person who doesn't like to be told what to do, so for that reason alone I have refused. It wasn't until the other day that we had a serious conversation about it that I really felt it was something that I needed to do now. It is better to be safe then sorry when it comes to things that I can control. My family means so much to me and if by going private it lessens the chances of something bad happening, then I am not going to put it off anymore. Anyways, if you would like to continue to view it send me your e-mail and I will send you an invite. Thanks!:)

Fun in the snow!

Yesterday morning it snowed and my kids couldn't wait to go out and play in it. I was pretty impressed with the snowman that Daxton and Collin built all by themselves. Brooklyn and Karley also made a really good snow fort, but unfortunately it got too dark before they finished it so I didn't get a picture of it
