Jump

Okay my wonderful husband bought me a new Nikon D90 DSLR camera. My dream camera. I have three other cameras but they are all point and shoot digitals. This is one that I am going to have to learn. I have had a lesson on what all the buttons are for and what they do but now I have to start taking lots of pictures just to learn how to use them. But I love it and will take lots of photos cause that is my favorite thing to do. This is one of the first photos I took with it just playing around. This was taken on auto and I love the action in the shot. There are a series of shots of Lillie jumping with her hair flying, and her shirt swaying. This camera can take picture after picture in just a matter of seconds. So I am hoping to learn it and gets lots of great shots.

SNOW?

There is something in the state of Louisiana you hardly ever see. SNOW! And this last December we had snow! Now maybe to lots of folks thats like so its just snow but to all of us down here in LA it is SNOW! So of course we build snowmen, have snowball fights and even wish for more. It is fun for all. Lots of times the roads are closed, the schools are closed and everyone stays home because they don't know how to drive in it, or are afraid to be stuck somewhere. But it don't matter to us because we love it. Course it don't last long and the next week will be in the 70s but we still love the SNOW! Here are three pages I made with just some of the 400 and some pictures I took.

Best Buddies

Awwwwwww these two are the greatest. My oldest granddaughter Katie and my oldest grandson Bobby. These two are close as theives and yet they can fight and still make up and be close. She listens to all his complaints and he listens to hers. When they are going through tough times they are there for each other. I hope they remain this close their whole lives.

How High

My granddaughters birthday last year was at the Rock Wall again. (Their dad is part owner so they get free parties...LOL) But that doesn't stop them from enjoying it. I know that everyone of my grandchildren love going there and climbing the walls. They have walls that are as high as 35 ft, a cave wall, even walls for younger children. This is Anna going up one of the higher walls. She didn't make it to the top but one day she will.

How fast they grow

This is a photo of my granddaughter Emily taken in 2002. I can't believe how young she was here. And how much she has grown. She has turned into quite a young lady lately. She was at her dads this year for Christmas and she seemed to enjoy it.

Tis the Season

Our oldest daughter and husband with their three girls at Christmas this year. It is really a cute picture and I had to do something with it. And this is what I came up with. I love their smiles and how they seem to be enjoying the holiday.

Our Baby Chloe

Our baby girl Chloe's first birthday. Our youngest granddaughter turned one in October and they gave her and her brother Blade a birthday party together (since they are only 1 year and 3 days apart). She was so cute in her little pink princess dress and hat. She loves sitting on her brothers train and I didn't know it but at Christmas I got her a train of her own a pretty princess one. But for her birthday I got her a cabbage patch doll. Her first. She loves babies.

Having your cake!

My oldest grandson with his face in his birthday cake. This really what they mean by Having your cake and eating it too! He always seems to get the short end of the staff when his birthday falls on Thanksgiving so this year we planned a big get together. I bought this big chocolate cake for everyone. After his mother shoved his face into it (I am glad it was big) he was eating it at the same time. After he told me that it was the best birthday ever. He always wanted his face shoved into his cake and it finally happened. He loved it. My 2nd grandson (DJ) said I got to call him crap face without getting in trouble MawMaw. LOL But Bobby loved it and there was plenty of un-faced cake for everyone.

BFFs

Another photo of Bella and Lillie. I tell you these two are such characters. Take them shopping and they have to have the same outfit. No matter what anyone else says. If one of them likes it then the other also likes it. They make me laugh so hard at them and I get the biggest kick out of them. I always have to take a photo of them in their matching outfits. I wonder what they will be like when they grow up? I wonder if they will be as close as they are now? I wonder if they will still want to dress alike and be together all the time? Until then I am going to enjoy them so much.

I Believe

A photo taken of my granddaughter Anna in 2004. In front of my christmas tree in her new christmas dress. Of course she had to give me a cute little curtsy for this photo.
