I'm behind with my personal photos. Big surprise, I know. Logan actually started school three weeks ago. He loves it. When asked, he says his favorite part is recess. He's doing very well in reading and math. It has been so fun to see him learning new things. Jason and I are so proud. </div>

I am a little late posting these photos. We took them at Freestone Park in early June. I've been learning new editing techniques and my photos are turning out even better. It's so exciting to learn new things. Anyway, here are a few of my favorite shots. It is hard to believe my baby is THREE! Where does the time go? (Don't even get me started on his big brother starting <em>kindergarten</em> next week. Geez!)</div>

I found a <a href="http://www.jessicasprague.com/" target="_blank">FREE online Photoshop class</a>. There are five lessons that combine photo editing and digital scrapbooking. Sound like anyone you know? I am loving it. A lot of it is review but I am learning new tricks and shortcuts. I thought I would share my final projects with you. The first lesson was photo editing and converting to black & white. <br />
<br />
I used one of Ryan's portraits from his 3 year session. How is my baby THREE?!? <br />

Earlier this month, I set out to do a series of mini sessions to practice working with less time for each session. This big boy was one of my favorites. He's got the best dimples.</div>

<div align="center">
Logan's <a href="http://gilbertpreschool.com/" target="_blank">preschool</a> put on an End of the Year Show earlier this month. They were all SUPERSTARS! The Pre-K kids had a speaking part. Logan's line was "We are all growing up". Yes, they sure are. He learned so much this year. He tells me he's ready to go to kindergarten but he's a little nervous. I just tell him we'll check it out first at Meet the Teacher Night so he'll know what's going on.</div>
<div align="center">
<br /></div>
<div align="center">
His last day was May 10th. I think I was more upset about it than he was. I love the preschool and all the moms.</div>

Everyone in my immediate family played softball at some point. Abby and I spent many Sunday nights at the park while my parents played co-ed softball. Abby and I played a few seasons of softball with the city of Chandler. Abby also went on to play on the freshman team in school. So naturally, my mom thought the boys needed to play t-ball at her house, too. One day while we were all playing, she suggested I put Logan in a t-ball league. (It might have been a little stronger than a suggestion. You know how moms can be. ;) ) It was perfect timing. The town of Gilbert's Parks & Rec league was about to start. Logan was a Red Dragon. (He suggested Red Spiders but was out-voted.)</div>

His last game was Monday night. His coaches (the most patient couple on EARTH) gave him "the best storyteller" award because he was always telling them his stories. Not surprised much, are you? That's my boy. Anyway, I am not sure if he'll play again. We are going to let him decide.</div>Christy Lhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00195131176913934541noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1833071948233493940.post-86069387515973944332012-05-17T16:10:00.000-07:002012-05-17T16:10:00.952-07:00Artistic or just creepy?<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was shooting a mini session a couple weeks back, we came across a dead bird. Poor bird. But we were at an art campus and apparently someone felt the need to give this bird a chaulk outline. I couldn't help it. As morbid as it felt, I still had to snap a couple photos. Was someone trying to be funny? Or perhaps make a statement as to how the bird died? We will never know. And now you get to wonder along with me.</div>

A couple weekends ago we decided to "get out of Dodge". We decided to check Butcher Jones' Beach at Saguaro Lake. We packed our lunch and headed out. It was so much fun. Jason and I sat on the beach under the shade of the pop-up canopy while the boys played in the water. Logan and Ryan had a blast. </div>

This morning the Red Dragons had t-ball practice. Their awesome coaches had arranged for a surprise visit from the Red Sox' former pitcher Bruce Hurst. He was really nice- brought autographed photos for everyone. The kids (ages 4-6) didn't quite realize how cool this was until we explained that he played BASEBALL when he went to work. They thought that would be a fun job. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are only two more games until the season is over. Logan seems to enjoy t-ball but often says the games are boring. Not a lot of action in the t-ball league, I guess.</div>

So I've been accused of slacking with this blog. What can I say? Guilty as charged. But it's because I am not slacking in other areas. Jason and I are working on my new website. Well, when he's in town- which hasn't been very much lately. He's been to 4 states in the last 3 weeks. I had my first mini sessions on Saturday. Five sessions in 3 1/2 hours. It was exhausting but so much fun. I will post some images from that day when I get the editing done. I also shot the Gluten Free Expo in Scottsdale last weekend. I'm still editing those photos. I've been running and/or getting to the gym most days. Who would have thought <em>I</em> would want to excercise that much? Not me, that's for sure. But I feel great and have so much more energy than I used to. It's awesome. Anyway, that's what I've been up to recently.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This session was a lot of fun. The weather cooperated by providing just enough cloud cover to diffuse the sun in the middle of the day to give us some decent lighting. There were 22 people total. Several live out of state so we had a limited time frame to shoot this family reunion. The large group was a good challenge but everyone was a good sport.</div>

Well, it was more like a slow, scenic tour than a run. Logan ended up with an ear infection and missed two days of school. Ryan gets extra moody when he's sick. Oh joy. By Thursday, I was feeling it, too. Did I mention that I had choosen the same week to potty train Ryan? Yeah, it was crazy. But it worked out just fine. I didn't end up with as many photos from Easter as I would have liked. The cold just sapped my energy and my creativity. The poor kids didn't even get an egg hunt at home. They had to wait until we got to Aunt Sandy and Uncle Don's house. Luckily, they had everything under control, as usual.<br />
<br />
Easter with our extended family is always a lot of fun. Uncle Don hosts an egg hunt for the adults. He has numbers inside the eggs. Later, he calls the numbers to give out prizes/gifts. Then the trading starts. This year we ended up with ear buds/headphones, a cookbook, a pack of nice pens, honey, 4 different flavors of popcorn seasoning, gourmet applesauce, a flashlight, Rachel Ray's hamburger seasoning in a grinder, 2 DVD's, 2 pairs of sunglasses, a key chain with a light, a 2G memory card and a jar of razzleberry jam. I might have missed a thing or two. (I probably would have taken a photo of everything if I had been feeling better.) The kids just got plain, old candy in theirs. I think we made out better than they did. :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, here are some photos from the kids' hunt.<br />

I did three two weeks ago. Boy, it sure is fun! I had a great time with our favorite friends- Missy and Owen. We play a lot but have never done an actual photo session. These photos are in honor of Owen's 3rd birthday in January. Better late than never- right, Missy? ;)<br />

Jason and I took him out to the park a couple times to practice. One of these days, Ryan got bored when it wasn't his turn. He wandered around and found a mud puddle. A small lake, seems more accurate. Before we could stop him, he jumped in. At that point, it was too late so we just let him play while we practiced. Of course I didn't have my camera. We were at the neighborhood park on the next street. I didn't even bring my phone or purse. So I did the next best thing: I sent Jason over with his new iPhone. He has been paying attention because he tried to catch Ryan in mid air.<br />

Usually we leave the kids at home with Grandma but this time, they were invited. Princess Belle was invited, too, and spent some time with kids giving hugs and posing for pictures. Jason took this photo with his new IPhone.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We sure did. Our <a href="http://www.eastarizonaceliac.blogspot.com/">Celiac Support Group</a> held a pancake breakfast at our neighborhood park. EVERYTHING was gluten free. They had Applegate Farms sausage, Udi's chocolate muffins and granola, cinnamon rolls from <a href="http://www.juliasgfbakery.com/">Julia's Bakery, </a> and pancakes from <a href="http://www.danellssignatureblend.com/">Danell's Signature Blend</a>. Okay, now I have to say- I still eat gluten so my taste buds are not completely converted. I LOVED Julia's cinnnamon rolls. In my opinion, they were just as good as Cinnabon. I still like Ikea's cinnamon mix better because of it's unique flavor. But the bread part was perfect. If you ever need dessert for a gluten free friend, go to Julia's. Yum. <br />
<br />
Of course, Ryan loved everything. The pancakes were really good. I liked them better than our current mix, Pamela's. They were really fluffy! It was so nice to finally be able to take Ryan somewhere he could eat what everyone else was eating.<br />
