Bubbles

I've become sadly aware of the fact that since I started getting serious about photography I've become too picky and I rarely just take snapshots of my kids anymore. If they're not dressed cute or doing something "portrait worthy" I don't pull out my camera. I'm also not crazy about the surroundings here and wish I had nicer backgrounds. But it's stupid really because not only am I missing out on memories of their childhood and them just being kids, but those shots are also great practice for me. Tonight I was outside doing an assignment for an on-line photography class that I'm taking and the kids were blowing bubbles, so I decided to take a few shots of them (with Emme's messy hair and all) and I'm glad I did. I'm going to make it a goal to take more snapshots and "capture" my babies as they are.

Pictures have always meant a great deal to me. They are memories recorded in a picture. I look back and remind myself of all the precious moments life has to offer. It was the one thing I wanted the most for preserving my missionary memories.

Messy hair.... ha! Go look at the pictures of my delivery, check out all of my kids hair. You can definately tell I left too early in the morning to get them ready!!! The look like orphans, I'm sure everyone wonders how I had another one, when I don't even take care of the ones I have!!! LOL

Say What???

4/28/11 -- My Aunt Natalie's funeral was today and Camden asked several questions about death throughout the day. Tonight I told him he could watch TV but not play video games, and he said "Because it's one of those funeral days?"

5/17/11 -- Camden coloring with markers: "Mom, the blue doesn't work because some kind of kid left it open."

5/18/11 -- Camden: "Mom, I love you. I love you more than ice cream."

5/27/11 -- Eating lunch at Canton City Camden says "Mom, I love ice cream, but sometimes it gives me brain freeze -- do you get brain freeze?" Me: "Sometimes, but I never got it when I was little." Camden: "Because you didn't have brains?"

5/31/11 -- Emme was playing with my eyelash curler and Camden walked in and asked: "Are you pretending to be pretty?"

5/31/11 -- Tristen said Jarek looked Chinese. I explained that it was a genetic impossibility. Then Tristen said "Well, maybe there are just so many Chinese people that God throws the extras to the Mormons."

7/11 -- A couple of days after we got our male baby goat I asked Camden if he wanted to hold him. He said he had held him before, so I asked him when. He said "A few years ago."

8/2/11 -- Camden: "What do you call a fly if you pull it's wings off?"

8/3/11 -- Jarek: "Are you going somewhere Mom?" (A VERY common question for him to ask.) Me: Yeah, I'm going to Vernal." Jarek: "And you're wearing that?"

8/31/11 -- Jarek, comparing two desserts at Cafe Rio: "They taste pretty much the same except for the flavor."

9/1/11 -- Camden, as we walked by a mens baseball team practicing: "Look Mom, they're playing t-ball."

9/20/11 -- "What is that horrible noise?" Camden's reaction when Jarek started practicing his trumpet.

11/3/11 -- Emme: "Camden, I think your fish is dead."
Camden: "NO IT'S NOT, it's just laying down!"
