The Rest of Photo Class Pics

Here are the last few weeks worth of pictures from my photography class. It was fun. I learned a lot and I am excited to keep working on all that I learned. Hopefully I can be as good as my husband some day :0)

We went to the Temple last night to get a last few pictures...

I love the Fall colors and the Temple... Together it makes for a great picture.

This is the best we can do for a pic of all 6 kids at once. No way we can get them all to look at the same time, staying still, and no hands in front of their faces...

Vinyl projects

I have had some fun with the Cricut and vinyl. I have learned it is very fun to do and gives me some craft time, which I desperately need. Here are a few of the projects that I have been working.

This is our family portrait collage. You can see that right now, we just have pictures of a really cute dog and little boy. Unfortunately, as cute as they are, I cannot claim either. We do still need to get family pictures LOL. But the collage is done and I am so proud of it. We will do a family pic in the big middle. Then under live we will have a picture of the kids and under love we will have a picture of Jim and I. Then on the bottom we will have a picture of Jim and the boys and then a picture of Abby and I. In the middle between Families are Forever will be a picture of the Portland Temple, where Jim and I were sealed. Hopefully with the nice weather, we will be getting family pictures soon and I will post an updated with all the pics in their propers places.

When we first moved into the house, we wondered what we would do with this ledge. As you come into the front door you face this wall into the kitchen. The ledge above the doorway to the kitchen extends the whole wall and actually turns the corner into the dining room. I though it would be fun to get a picture of each child up there. When that was done, I thought that maybe it needed just a little bit more, so I added each childs name in Vinyl under their picture. I think it turned out pretty good.

Plus those are the pictures that Jim (own personal photographer) took for us in lue of school portraits. We had a bad school picture year and have decided to never go with school pics again, just Daddy Pics. LOL.

I am excited for more Vinyl projects around the house. I want to do one more for the living room with my favorite quote. Then I will do one for Abby's room and one for my bedroom. I will think about the boys rooms. Not sure what to do with that. We will have to see.

Random Daniel Moments

I cant believe our little Montana Boy is turning 3 very shortly. It is amazing how fast time flies around here. These are just some randome moments caught on by my phone camera.

Daniel wearing cousin Zach's shades. Too cool!
Uncle Kevin teaching Daniel how to drive!

If he is in the car around 3 p.m. for any length of time, this is what we get.

A day at Ocean Shores Summer 2008

Sleeping with Elmo! His second best friend.

2 of the best things in the world. A box and toys.

A candid shot on the Apple ride at Toys R Us.

Again with the shades. He is my lil heart throb

Guitar Hero Nut. Taking after brother Tyler.

Elmo garb to go out in the snow.

A lunch out with Grammy and Poppy. Love the chocolate face.

Clawing for me under the bathroom door. Such a sad lil man.

Optimus Sunshine!

Daniel is such an amazing little guy. He has a wonderful imagination and is often found playing animatedly with a few toys, talking back and forth to each other, rescuing one another, and going on different adventures. He has always been the little boy with 1,000 different facial expressions. Since he was very small, he just gets the kookiest little expressions on his face. So much emotion, so much passion, so much Sunshine. He is a great addition to this family and always keeps us laughing. WE LOVE YOU DANIEL!!!!!
