Catching up...

3.30.2008

So i have been being a bad blogger lately... there has been a ton going on and I will try to recap...


This is definitely a random and catch up post.  Spring break was 2 weeks
ago so I had a busy week running around trying to act like I was on vacation. 
2 weekends ago us and the fam went up to Memphis to go to the Discover musuem
and to the Memphis Zoo.  Cooper loved both venues and I am sure we will
make this an annual trip.  Cody brought along his camera and got some
incriminating pictures of a certain someone doing his birthday dance at Joe's
Crab Shack that night...



























This little guy was a model... he sat up and posed for us!





Kade and Cooper shared popcorn pretty well...



Hey Debbie... do you want to move... you and Kyle have a tree coming out of your
head!



Cooper was very sharing with her popcorn!



Then she tuckered out...









I have always wanted eagle pictures so I guess this will do me for a while... I
still want some wild pictures.. possibly snatching some fish out of the water!









Then I headed over to Austin to go to a One Light Workshop... for those of you
who know I basically flew to Austin to get admitted to the ER... lose 12
pounds... puke my guts out and then fly home.  It was a horrible trip! 
The coolest thing about flying is that during this picture it was storming below
the clouds... but it was beautiful above the clouds!



Then when I got home... I was sick and lethargic... so Cooper and Amber decided
to paint my toenails... I didnt even have the energy to stop them!



Cooper thought it was hilarious and to this day if you mention toenails... all
she can say is "Daddy!"





Here are a few more of the Easter shots we took at the field...





This is Cooper's... "im smiling and crying together" faces...



Then this past weekend I went with the
Blackwater crew to Lake
Chicot...  yes these idiots were actually in the lake...  I was
freezing just being in the boat.







That night camping we had a blast...



then a few more people showed up...



then a few more for an all out party!







We had a blast... acted stupid and had too much fun!



Today at church was so much fun... there were a ton of people and we got to
roast/celebrate with Rob Leonard... today was his 25th anniversary with
Pauline Baptist Church.







We had a special luncheon for Rob and he was presented with a very nice plaque
and a few other surprises!



 



God Bless!

Hey! This is Deborah from Shady Grove where my husband is the youth pastor.

Have to confess to being a MT blog lurker/stalker, but I just had to ask what lens you used for the water ski pictures! Phenomenal!!!! And sweet exposures at the campfire!

hey deb... i sent you an email but to answer your question that was taken with my baby...

70-200 f/2.8IS

It is such a sweet lens... although very heavy!
