These are a couple of pics I took for my photography II class I took last month.
We were to take window portraits...just using the light from the window and a reflector. It was fun.
I love Jacobs eyes if I can ever catch them looking at me! He is hardly ever cooperating.
Jordan, on the other hand, loves to pose. She had her 1st professional shoot yesterday for modeling. She did awesome! I will hopefully have those back soon and post a few of them for you all. I tagged along and took notes of some really great places to take pics. They took some really cool pics in Brookside & Utica.

Anyway, these are not "GREAT" but they are some of my firsts in full manual mode! I am rather proud of myself.
Stacy & I are now taking editing classes, so hopefully I will learn how to add that extra something to some of my pics.

Birthday, Zoo, Easter....

There is no rhyme or reason to this post. I have not posted in a while (as some of you have pointed out to me) so I thought I would post a few pics of what has been eating up my time.

The "Easter Bunny" brought the kids scuba gear. Jacob likes to wear his around the house and then he will ask us about 1000 times if we can take him up to the YMCA to try it out. Todd finally did and it went pretty well. Jacob loves to swim under water. The only problem is that he can't get back up to the top of the water. But he's not scared to try so we'll keep working on that, he'll get it in no time, I'm sure.
We took the kids to the zoo on Easter weekend. The zoo has an exhibit set up where you can go feed the parakeets and cockatiels. They give you a stick with seed on the end of it and the little birds come and land on your stick. Well, everything was going fine until one of them landed on Jake's head. He did not like that. He walked around the rest of the time in there with either his hand on his head or his hood on.

The bird lady....

We went to Guthrie to celebrate Todd's brother, Scott's 40th birthday!
Here is how us girls celebrated....we got our hand and feet done.

Jordan and Peyton.

This is Todd's sister, Traci and her daughter Peyton. It was so funny to watch Peyton get her feet done. When she sat up in the chair her feet couldn't reach the water. I know how she feels....

This is the birthday boy and their mom.

This is Jacob with Scott's oldest son Ryan. What good looking guys!
