    HERE and HERE

    Didn’t waste any time either… He covered the whole house!

    Happy hunting all!

  • Pop took Cooper to Lansing this weekend  for a geocaching event and some quality Grandpa time.

    They met my Sister and Nephew Sam there, everyone spent the night at my Aunt and Uncle’s house.

    I share with you my Aunt Mary’s face book status from this morning…

    Ok the conversation went like this. Jay with my five year old nephew Cooper.
    Cooper: uncle jay how did the water get on the floor?
    Jay: I kicked the dog bowls and spilled it.
    Cooper: damn
    Jay: what did you just say?
    Cooper: I’m going to change that.

     

    I have been assured that everyone left the room before they laughed…

  • We had a wonderful Valentines dinner at my sisters house yesterday.

    My sister and my Rents!

     D is giving me a look because she was trying to eat and I had a camera in her face… I don’t know WHY she would give me a look, you would think she’d be used to it by now…

    valentines dinner at D's 029

    My sister inherited her flair for the holidays from my Grandma J, she loved going all out too.

     D put one of Gram’s Vday decorations on the table.

    My hubby and my brother in law, the pug tamer…

    It was a good day, a great day even, how could it not be with good food and family!

    Today some of us are geocaching, some of us are going to the movies and some of us are being good and going to church like we’re supposed to!

    I hope you all have a GREAT valentines day!

     

  • Still playing around

    I’m still playing around with my new lens.

    Santa fisheye

    This is a tree farm that hasn’t gotten around to taking down the big guy yet.

    I’m finding the lens a little hard to get used to. (Not in a bad way.)

     You can’t tell but I was right in front of him. That stake in the ground was beside me…

    sun flair and lamp post

    This is Torch lake in Alden.

    I love the flairs I was getting from the sun.

    I know they aren’t great pictures.

    It was just fun taking them and I thought I would show you guys what I was up to.

    This weekend I get to test my new toy out on Detroit city!

    I can’t wait!

     

     

  • I have a new toy.

    fisheye monsters

    A fish eye lens for my camera.

    fisheye feet

    The obligatory feet picture.

    fisheye cooper feather boa

    I haven’t gotten to use it much yet, but I did get to harass the kids a little with it.

    fisheye feather face

    Cooper and Grandma

    fisheye charlie face

    Charlie face…

    He is going to hate that I posted this.

    fisheye road and trees

    I was trying to get more curve to the trees… I need to play with it more to figure out how to use it advantageously.

    bakery fisheye

    I don’t think I’ve ever posted a picture of the bakery before so…

    Here’s the bakery.

    I know it’s kind of a silly thing, but I’ve always wanted a fisheye.

     I’d considered buying a toy camera, but I hated the idea of going the whole film route, I am a digital gal through and through.

    It was well worth the thirty dollars it cost me. I will get that in enjoyment from it in no time.

    What kind of toys do you have?

     

  • OOPS

    I didn’t realize I had let so long go by… 

    Cooper and I had a date tonight. We went to Sparky’s diner and had greasy hamburgers, deep fired mushrooms and a giant chocolate shake with a cherry on top.

    As I sat there watching my five year old try to lick whipped cream off of his forehead, I wanted my camera… I thought, what a nice blog this would make…

    Of course I didn’t have my camera… *sigh*

    I’m happy about the fact that I wanted to blog anyway.

    Have you ever had a period of blogging burnout?
