Close-Ups

Chris told me I need to take other pictures besides closeups (Which is the only picture I know how to take.) So for my birthday he got me Photography classes. So these pictures are pre-photography classes. We will see how much I learn. Anyone willing to be guinea pigs for my new hobby?

Twenty-Five

I had a great birthday today! Chris was so nice to take the day off and enjoy the whole day with me and the kids. Owen was so excited to give me my presents, that he even told me what it was before I opened it......a slip and slide, buzz light year kite, Dots, and Junior mints. I asked if he was thinking about me or him while picking out my gifts, and he replied "Me". But that was okay, I loved them, and can't wait to play with my new toys with him this summer.

I also received a beautiful new camera from my great in laws, Jimbo and Mary Jane. Thanks so much. We love it! Me and Chris had so much fun taking pictures. We both felt like real professionals with it. I think we took over 200 pictures just today. We are nuts.

Thanks to all my friends and family who called and made my day extra special. I love you all! And Thank you Mom for always telling me the story about the day when I was born. I love to hear it. I am so grateful for you and Dad.

A little bit of an obssesion....

Lately Owen has been sleeping, eating, dreaming, and praying of Tennis. He loves this sport so much and talks about it everyday. He looks so forward to Saturday when he can go play with his Dad. He is actually quite good at it too for a 3 year old. Just last night he said in his prayers, "Please help Danda Ricki find a tennis racket, Please help Danda Jojo (his great grandma Jody) play tennis, Please help Jamie and Azy to play tennis." It is so funny.

Oh and to play tennis you have to be wearing a tennis shirt (underarmor shirt), If you don't have one you need to go buy one. He will not allow you to wear anything else. So Grandma Ricki, Grandma Jojo, Jamie, and Aisy we will see you on the courts this Saturday.
