Oh! Snap!

TAKEDOWN!!

This picture is really about Cameron pretending to be an airplane and taking Azman for a ride. But I think my interpretation is much funnier. And can I just say how much I LOVE this pretend play that Cameron has gotten into lately? So adorable!

10 Things that Bug

I've been tagged by Jen, and I'm normally to lazy to do them, but since she did leave a comment about it I guess I have to. So, with no further ado, TEN Things that Bug:

1. Fanny packs. Tourist or not those things are terrible.
2. Drivers who don't know how to merge properly. Or who don't care about merging properly.
3. Looonnnggggg waits in Dr's offices. And then only having the doctor spend five minutes with you.
4. That I say "No Worries" AAALLLLLLL the time. So annoying. I can't seem to stop myself.
5. Incessant talking in a movie theatre.
6. Drivers who speed up to get ahead of you and then slow down.
7. Smokers smoking right by the entrance to a store- so I have to walk through it with my kids. Gross.
8. When you order something at a restaurant with modifications and it comes out wrong.
9. People who fly on airplanes and expect no children.
10. No left turns/Jug Handles/ Tolls in New Jersey. Maybe that should just be driving in New Jersey.

I tag: Anyone who wants to get their "bugs" out. It's actually nice. I don't know why I didn't do it sooner.

Flash Practice

One of my new years resolutions is to become a better photographer. So I've joined a group, I'm giving myself challenges, and I'm trying to find people to shoot with locally. A recent assignment that I've given myself is to learn off camera flash. I've had all the tools- just never the motivation to learn it. So last night I got everything out to practice. I Really like it. Don't get me wrong- I hope to improve over these pictures tremendously, but I'm glad I finally made myself learn it. Or start to anyway. Here are my favorites of the boys.

"Snow" Day

And yes, that snow deserves to be in quotes. I've been waiting for a real snow to take the boys outside and play. Apparently I was waiting for nothing. This is considered snow in Jersey.

Cameron showing me his breath.

Train Day

Ryan had Monday off of school and we tried to entertain Cameron with some good, cheap (i.e. free) entertainment. Ryan decided we should build a "city" out of all the train tracks and blocks.

The boys photography- I'll let you guess which ones Ryan took and which ones
Cameron did.

Surveying our work.

It was all fun and games until Monster Baby came to destroy the town.

Lil' Azer

Azer turned 8 months on the 8th of January. He's now weighing 17lbs 4oz and I've forgotten what his length was but he does have a giant head ;) He babbles all the time and he can get from point a to point b Very fast using the ole' army crawl.

Memories

This photo was taken almost one year ago. Cam was outside in just a T-shirt. *Sigh*. Things sure are different in Jersey. You think I'd be used to the cold, I grew up in Idaho for cripes sakes- but AZ woosied me up.
