My love of photoghrapy

I am currently taking an online class given by a brilliant photographer her name is Sheye Rosemeyer. It has been a huge help in learning how to turn my some what good photos into the photos that I have been trying to get. She is wonderful! I still have a lot of learning to do and A LOT of practice. I just need more time in my day!! I wish I could do this full time and devote all my attention to this but that is just so dang hard right now. So I'm trying my best at fitting it all in.



Here is a picture she fixed up for me.. It is just crazy what you can do with Photoshop!!

She added a bit of color pop and smoothed out her skin and reduced the "noise"(grain in the photo) in the photo.

This weekend is Brooke's 1st Birthday!! I'm so excited on one hand but on the other I'm so sad that my baby is not a baby any more. Pretty soon she will be walking and talking and then be just like my little angel Elisabeth (MISS ATTITUDE) lol... and MR. Ethan.. wow it is just crazy how time just flies by.

Ethan's first Soccer game should be this weekend also and I'm looking forward to that so I can take some pictures!! I know he can't wait either. He loves it and he is one of the more determined players on the team. There are a few kids on the team that I wonder why they are even out there...

Alright off to each my lunch. I'll catch up with you all soon!

Fresh Start

We are in the middle of making upgrades to our home and it has been a lot of fun. I have been re-decorating my house with the help of my mother-in-law. Which sometimes is just not so fun. She has been holding it back for a long time now but I have come to realize that she did not think I did a great job on decorating. lol SO I am starting over! We got new floors in the house while we were on vacation and they are great. The kitchen is my favorite with pretty ceramic tile, except for the fact that now we have to be extra careful not to drop anything. I have also redecorated my living room thanks to Target!! :) It is all coming together but I really have so much more to go. Here is a picture of the new kitchen and living room.

I would love to get a new table and chairs but that is a not in the budget right now...I want to get a nice round one with a leaf in it.

The kids have pictures today at school.. hope they smile good!! I'll post the pictures when I get them back.

Well that is what I have been up to nothing to exiting!
