October so far

It has been a long time since I last blogged and I have missed it. I have been keeping up with all the blogs I read through google reader.
We are not even half way through October and a lot has happened this month.


Tyler is playing soccer for the 4th year. We are actually thinking about taking a break and not having him play in the spring. We will see...

This is Reed's first soccer season and he much rather hang out with his girlfriend then play soccer. It is too cute though. We are thinking about trying baseball for him in the spring only time will tell.


October 3rd we had Tyler's 8th birthday party. Even Eric and some of the other dads got their own lane for bowling fun.

Another giveaway...

Today must be giveaway day! :0)

Go here and check out this giveaway for a camera strap cover.

I personally own one of her camera strap covers and love it. I would love to have another one to swap back and forth. The one that I have has a minky back and it is super comfortable.

I Heart Faces Giveaway

Over at I Heart Faces they are having a digital SLR lens giveaway. This lens is amazing go on over and check it out and see for yourself.

1st photo shoot

The PE teacher where I work is pregnant, 35 weeks, and before school let out I talked to her about doing some pregnancy shots. Tonight was the night. Here are a few of my favorites.

I cannot even begin to tell you how nervous I was. These pictures were taken in the development she lives in so I was not familiar with what was good for backgrounds and what not so it was interesting.

Things to remember before next time.
*take a list of picture ideas
*know the location of where you are shooting.

I am sure the list will grow just can't think of anything else at the moment.

Please comment if you read this and let me know what you think.

Racing Weekend

It was an early Saturday morning

the track opened at 7 a.m.
We arrived about 7:30 a.m.
after breakfast at the hotel.

Resting before the race begins.

Playing with the cars.
Everyone who walked by commented on the # of cars he had to play with
if only they knew it was about a 1/4 (if that!) of what we really have.

Go #26!
He was the only one in his group so

Eric changed the plate and

he raced with the
older racers.

Overall he did well and finished 5th out of 7.

Daddy watching the race.
