A couple of new photos

Here are a few natural light photos taken in a bedroom that has beautiful natural light. The room has one window that is fairly big, but the yellow walls and light colored flooring makes it ideal for beautiful natural light photos. It looks better larger, so click on the photo for details.

Growing up...

Just had to post this photo, it's been too long! I just got a book printed at My Publisher, I really love the way it turned out! I'll have to post some pictures of it, I love how quick and easy they are to make. It's been a hard couple of days, my sister was diagnosed with cancer after delivering her fourth child. They found some lumps while delivering my new niece and on further study found that they were cancerous. I love her so much, and wish we lived in the same state so I could help her out more. I'm hoping and praying she is going to be O.K. Sometimes, life is so hard. We are hoping for the best though and I'll have to call some local pizza places and send them some pizza for dinner on the nights she's not feeling up to cooking. She has 4 kids that need there mama. So, between that and my husbands cousins, son's suicide, it's been a week full of tears for us. Hoping next week will be a little brighter of a week for us, we could use some good news, especially for my sweet sister.

Aaron

This is my new little nephew Aaron! He's so precious and perfect! He was so tiny only around 6 lbs, I just loved holding him and miss him already! Thanks Becky and Dale for bringing him here to see me, I loved taking his pictures! You guys are the sweetest parents in the world and I'm so happy for you both!

Miss posting!

I haven't posted in what seems like forever, and I miss it! Also, my sister is getting a little irritated that she hasn't been seeing the niece's and nephews as regularly as she should. So this one is for her, a couple of photos to keep her happy and up to date. The picture of my son on the red couch is being blown up to 24 by 30 for my basement. I've been needing one of him to finish my wall of all seven of my children, so with this one it will be complete, so I'm so excited to see it finished!

One cool snow fort!

This is what my kids did on their Christmas break! I thought the fort turned out Ultra cool! They worked really hard on it and had a lot of fun, glad I broke out my camera. I was determined not to post until my new website and blog were up and running, but I ran into some snags with the website, so it still isn't quite ready yet, close but not quite. It's been cold here, lots of snow, but my parents came for Christmas and of course the kids and I loved that! It was so good to see them and have them here for Christmas morning! I'll never forget it! I started using coupons a few months ago, oh my goodness! I didn't know how much they could save! I've cut our food bill in half and as a stay at home mom with 7 kids to feed, we really needed that! If you are interested the two sites I use are www.pinchingyourpennies.com and www.afullcup.com. They do all the work for you, go here, use this coupon, save this much. Today I bought 3 packs of Pampers Pull ups at Alberson's for 4.00 plus tax! I by 5 Sunday papers, and it's totally worth the cost plus their are internet printable coupons.

It's been a while!

Just wanted to post something fresh as I've been busy working on trying to get my new actions website up and running. I'm looking forward to having it finished. Family life is busy, I seem to never slow down. Someday, I really want to sleep in. I really miss being able to wake up when as I choose. I've always been a bit of a night owl and it's just not fitting for a mother of 7 kids. I really need to go to sleep early and rise early, so why in the world am I posting at midnight? Because I have time to myself, a rare pleasure and I'm soaking it up and I'm sure I will also regret it a bit tomorrow when I'm up at 6:00 a.m. How I wish I could magically sleep in.

Giddy Up!

Felt like taking some outdoor shots before the long and dreary winter hits. Don't you love his tongue? It's a new thing he does ALL the TIME! Cracks me up, he smiles with his mouth wide open too, and that frown is so him. So perfect, I love that shot because it will always remind me of that sweet little frown he does.

I was asked by April Oaks, the owner of Digital Scrapbook Memories to help out with her Photography class this week. The lesson is on Natural light, finding it and looking for those Catch lights! Head on over here if you'd like to participate, the class is free!
