A picture's worth....

They say that a picture is worth a thousand words- I think that is refering to those once-in-a-life-time shots, but since I have more pictures than I have time to tell about them, I hope you enjoy a little look at what is keeping us busy around here!

Swimming...

Trapping preditors, (hopefully before they eat our birds )

gardening...

chores...

wrestling the toy arch...

Enjoying the beauty God has given us all around!

(Photographers- question here. I have heard that taking pictures without the flash is better, it captures the depth better. But these last 2 pictures were seconds apart and I like the colors in the bottom one, (with flash) better. Why?)

Happy Birthday Scott!

Happy Birthday!

It is Scott's birthday today! I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband and best friend! He is also a great dad. We sure love him!All smiles.... but did he just jump out of bed?

Birthday boy!

Birthday lunch

Ahhh, what a cutie! (Don't tell me Paul doesn't look like his Daddy!:)

An earlier birthday... ( I will not say how many years ago! ; )

Picture time

Remember this little boy? When Paul was 4 months old, I wanted to take him to a studio and get some baby pictures, but Scott reminded me that we had a really nice digital camera and I should do my own. With the help of Esther and Elizabeth I managed to get several nice pictures of little Paul. Now that Marcus is 4 mo., I wanted to continue the tradition and planned a "photo shoot" for a day when Esther would be here to help. However, I did not check my plans with Marcus and he was not very happy about the whole thing. We did end up with a few nice pictures, but most the time was captured with shots like this!

Poor boy! Thankfully he is 4 months for a while, so I think I may try again! Until then, here are a few favorites!

One of the problems I had, blurry pictures.... ahhhh!

Happy Father's Day!

Paul and Marcus want to wish their Daddy a very happy father's day and say they sure are grateful for all of your love and hard work!
