Playing with My camera

So I have been getting into my camera a lot more these days. I love it so much and I love photographing people and things. This weekend my friend Lindsey and I are taking another photography class. I can't wait. So today I decided to practice a bit with the lens we will be using in class. It was the perfect day. The kids were out back playing so I brought the camera out and started playing. Unfortunately the kids were running around and not really into the camera today, but I still got a few good shots!!!

Cruising on his quad!

I love this kid so much!!!

A typical face of Ryan!!!

Unfortunately Mike Had to work on Ryan's real birthday but we still celebrated it with a bang.

We started the morning off with waffles and a candle!

After a fun day spent at Chuck-e-Cheese with are favorite people we head to Grandma's for a special party. Grandma had the house looking so cute!!!

 Oh No another candle!

Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you so much and can't believe you are 4 years old already.

Newport Beach

It's that time of year again!!!! NEWPORT BEACH. Oh how I love this place. We had a great time again this year. The weather was beautiful and we all had a great time

One of our many bike rides we took. The kids loved going. If we went on longer rides we would pull them in the bike trailer. Madison though that was pretty amazing.

This look is a classic of Ryan's right now.

Our first morning we always get up and walk to Balboa and get some coffee. It was so nice to be able to get outside and walk!!!

Grandma and Ryan on the fairy. Ryan could ride this all day long. One time we even drove our car onto it. He thought that was really fun!

Just hanging on the Beach!!

The Boy's playing some game on PS3.

The fam, hanging on the boardwalk!!

Love this picture of Madison. We were eating lunch in Laguna Beach. I had always wanted to go. Wow is that a touristy, busy place!

Love this picture of the kids under the pier one morning!!!

Oops, fell asleep on the boat with a sucker.

Payson

This weekend we decided to get out of the heat and head to the Brown's Cabin! It was so much fun! So relaxing and the weather was beautiful. Just what we had wanted. On the way we stopped at a park in Payson to take some family photo's!

Ryan and Peyton....Best buddies!

The boys about to get really wet in the creek.

Ahhh forget it, let just get in and have fun.

The boys always had to ride together in the rangers, which meant the girls got to sit next to each other too. They had so much fun taking long rides.

I love this picture of her!

My loves!
