Grown Up Qualifications

This morning while I was editing photos, Jace walked into the room eating a piece of toast. When I asked him if he made that toast all by himself, he very proudly stated: "YEP!! I can wipe my bum, tuck in my own cape and make toast all by myself! I must be a grown up!" I had to write it down I thought it was so funny. Congratulations Jace, you really are a BIG BOY!

Sorry to all my blog followers for my negligence- I have been super busy and frankly just needed a little brake from the blog. I am sure all you bloggers can understand how time consuming it is to keep your blog updated! But don't worry- I will get back on the saddle again soon (hmmmm, I don't think I got that saying right, but you know what I mean!)

Ansel turns 45


So Jace has been walking around today saying it is his birthday- and he is 45. Hmmm, I have no idea where that came from. Silly kid. Tim is out of town for a few days on a scout camp out leaving me home alone with the boys again tonight. So I promised that since daddy went camping (and since it is Jace's 45th birthday!) we are celebrating by doing our own camping trip. This means setting up Jace's little tent in the living room, roasting mallows over our stove and watching a movie. That is my idea of camping!

For those of you that follow my photog. blog, you may remember me mentioning the old Polaroid camera I found at a garage sale a few months back. Well, I finally got around to pulling it out yesterday. I wanted to put a photo of Jace with it on my new business blog(which, btw, you must check out- it ROCKS!). This camera is freakin' awesome!!! I haven't actually put film in it (it came with a few packs of film- though I am not sure if they will work since this thing is so old). But I can't wait to give it a try! I was reading the manual and it was so hilarious- it is so 1960's! There are photos of a lady in the manual showing how to use the camera and she has the classic bouffant hair, flipped up at the ends and a nice collared dress on(think Leave It To Beaver). One section was talking about composition and said to 'be sure your subject is centered' and 'be careful that you don't chop off someones head!' Heaven forbid! I guess they didn't know about the rule of thirds back then. Anyway, here are a few shots of my little Ansel Adams with the sweet Polaroid. He is a natural, I tell ya. He had a real knack for operating this camera, even when there was no film in it!

Hope you enjoy these! I will try to get caught up on my posting this weekend- I am way, way behind! Have a good one!
