happy mother's day to me...

When the boys got home from school I told them that I was ready for my 
Mother's Day gift from them. 

All I wanted was a picture of my boys.

You would have thought I'd asked them to go to school through the Summer vacation. 

They whined, they tried to find excuses, they fought the whole way to the scene, and then they cried about the sun being in their eyes and the stickers they had in their shoes. 

Between exclamations of "He's TOUCHING me!" and "Your breath stinks," I actually caught a couple of shots I liked and I was thinking this was working out okay and I was going to get my Mother's Day gift after all.

...and then my camera's battery died.

WHAT THE HECK?

We were just warming up...these shots weren't even good ones. They were looking right at the sun!

I take hundreds of pictures of people.

My battery has NEVER died. 

SHEESH.

Happy Mother's Day to me...

bad news, good news

Bad news...leukemia.

Good news...cousins.


Spring Delights

Kolby and I went searching today for Spring delights.

We found the most amazing sight...

What could be cuter than an apple orchard full of deer?!

A little boy on an old abandoned train track is a pretty cute sight too...
I LOVE you, Spring!!

praying for uncle clint

Kent's brother Clint was unexpectedly diagnosed 
with leukemia this week and we just want him to know how much we love him.

Keep up the fight, Uncle Clint.

You're kind of our hero.

We're praying for you so hard, our knees hurt. 

We love you.

photo by kenyon!

On Easter Sunday, a few things came up missing: 
my camera, my fake grass, the colored Easter eggs, and my 13 year old son...
Today when I opened up my pictures, I discovered what they were all doing.
Yes, I think he has discovered (as have I,) 
that being BEHIND the camera is a whole lot more fun than being in FRONT OF the camera!!
I love it!!!
(Oh, and this is the son I BEGGED to sign up for 7th grade photography...
wish he would have listened to me!)
