Rogues Bluff

I have numerous photos from this past summer that I just didn't have time to edit and post. So....... because the last summer post was a huge success ( 4* comments!! :-0 ) I have decided to dedicate this week on the blog to ....(drum roll please........) A WEEK AT THE BEACH!! I hope you find a little warmth in gazing at my photos during this very cold week in January!! ( at least where I live anyway...)

***Steph- this picture was taken during our vacation together in August.****

Dance Like No One's Looking!

The Dog Days Of Summer


Some pictures I found from last August. We had an unusually cool month. But did it stop the kids from hitting the beach? NO! These pictures make me miss the summer desperately. Oh the tan skin, the sun-bleached blonde hair of my children, the smell of sunscreen....
Winter months are not an easy time to get bright, fun pictures! I especially love picture of Tinyman. Even though this pictures was taken just 6 short months ago, I can see he has grown so much since then! Oh why do they grow so fast?

Ode To Sheepie

He is very much loved by Tinyman. Where he is, Sheepie is there also. Sassy Pants got him at a yardsale this past July for a quarter, and Tinyman quickly claimed him as his own. I have no idea what draws Tinyman to sheep, but he loves them! I mean, what is so great about sheep? They have no defense mechanisms and they are not a highly intelligent animal. And when is the last time you saw a sheep roll over or beg for food? But Tinyman LOVES them, especially this particular stuffed one. Sheepie has met many adventures in his short life with Tinyman. He has lost an ear, (which I had to sew back on because Tinyman had deflated his head by picking all the stuffing out.) he's taken many baths with Tinyman, gone swimming quite a few times in the lake with Tinyman, built sandcastles and has had his turn at being buried in the sand,he's a treasure chest of sorts by Tinyman stuffing items inside his body cavity, he's been on roadtrips, camping trips, including the always memorable "Moose Island" adventure, had his "teeth" brushed, eaten at the dinner table and even had an emotional and daring rescue from being plunged into the ocean. (Steph - do you still have the video from that?) What else makes this sheep special? He barks, licks your face and is very loved by my precious 3 year old.

My Tinyman

I just wanted to play around today with my 50mm fixed lens.(I'm tired of dark, grainy photos!) So I followed Tinyman around the living room for a bit. And yes, he really is as sweet as he looks :-) I really like these shots - a lot! They capture his personality quite well. He really loves trains- especially Thomas! And he put his engineer hat on with no coaxing from me~ Enjoy!






When The Weather Outside Is Frightful.........

You work out to Mom's "Biggest Loser Cardio" DVD of course! (notice the soup cans on the floor- they were being used as make-shift weights)

My kids crack me up!
