Day 87 thru 91

Day 91 {Who needs a Tripod?}

 I'm pretty sure that my daughters generation is going to grow up with a ton of pictures of themselves an arms length away.

Day 90 {Ride em cowboy}

 Jim had the day off so we all went down to the Ranch to see Rusty.  Everyone got a chance to ride him.  I even rode him for the first time.  Well, I was kind of nervous so I had Jim lead Rusty around while I sat on his back.  It's a start.

Day 89 {Yearly}

I had my yearly exam today.  Somehow the eggs seemed like an appropriate shot for the day. :)

Day 88 {And the Oscar for the best baby ever goes to.........}

We spent the day at the zoo today.  I had a lot of fun shots, but I wanted to share a picture of Ty, my cousins youngest, and the worlds best baby.  Seriously.....this little dude just sat and smiled the entire visit.  They are home now and we are all missing them!

Day 87 {Day at the beach}

Perfect beach weather!

Day 56 {I heart photo shop}

I am tired.  Even though I was running errands this morning in an area of town that had some great shots to be had, I just couldn't be bothered.  So on the way home from picking up Reid and a friend from track practice I stuck the camera out the window and took a few shots.  

I liked this shot straight out of the camera, but editing it made it way more dramatic.  I used a simple veil that I created and a new texture from Shadow house creations (link is on my sidebar).

I heart photo shop!

Day 43 thru 47

Day 47 {Pleats}

One of the things the girls have learned to do over the years (thanks to their dad) is iron their own clothes.  They do this every morning.  Even though Kate's polyester uniform skirt could go through a hurricane and still have pleats in it, she likes her pleats to be extra sharp.

Day 46 {Lady bugs}

The gorgeous weather has brought the lady bugs out to play.

Day 45 {Happy Valentines Day}

Need I say more?

Day 44 {You scream, I scream....}

Cold Stone ice cream......my poison for the evening = sweet cream with a brownie.

(I took this shot with my Nikon Cool pix 550)

Day 43 {Apple peels}

Reid and I made two apple pies to take to a friends house for a dinner party. They were heavenly.

Day 28 {Ballet}

I watched some of Kate's pre pointe ballet class tonight.  I am impressed by how much she has improved in the past 4 months.  She is turning into quite the ballerina.

Like the texture?  You can find it here!

Mellow Yellow

Day 18 {Let there be rain}

Proof that we don't always have 75 degree weather in Southern California.

It's gray, it's wet and it's really windy.

Don't the flowers kind of look like little traffic cones.

Day 17 {Corn on the cob}

This is what you get when I wait until the end of the day to take a picture.

Day 16 {Poodle leg warmers}

Our standard poodle Xena (the poodle princess warrior) is nearly 5 years old. We have had her since she was a puppy but despite my best efforts the dang dog hates being brushed. This means that once her fur gets a little bit long, if you don't brush her daily she gets matted.

So most of the time we keep her cut short. Well, I finally forced the dog to let me brush her and was able to keep her legs mat free long enough to get me two pairs of poodle with leg warmers!!!!

Woooohooo! Aren't they cute?

I have been playing with using textures in CS3. Textures are addicting!
The "free" textures I used on this shot are from Sketelmess on Flickr.
