{My ShaZAM}

The Before & After

I took some tutorial advice from Jessica Sprague and did her Photoshop Friday Tutorial called ShaZam! It found that it doesn't work on all photo's but it did a great job on some of my photos from the Evergreen Aviation Museum. SHAZAM!!!!!

{And I'm Back}

Just thought I would check in and say Hey! We got home from the coast on Thursday night and I immediately repacked my bags and left for my scrapbook getaway with my friends Shauna & Calie. Holy good times! I laughed until my head hurt and scrapped till my eyeballs fell out, so much fun!

I have much to post about but it's going to take a post or two. I have to get back into mom/wife mode & finish up my craft for girls camp on Thursday so I'll be posting stuff here and there as I get my to do list checked off. Anyway just wanted to let you all know that I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. I was just off playing with my friends.

Lincoln City part 1

I really should be in bed right now I am so beyond tired & why am I tired you ask? Well, for one thing I am still sick. I hack up a lung every night and two- because being on vacation is exhausting (seriously). But I figured I have been a terrible blogger so I had better post something and quick.

Here is the first day that we went to the beach. It was so windy that the sand was pelting the back of Lloyd's legs and it was also so freaking cold that all the kids had to wear jackets of one kind or another. Although my crazy son Parker stripped down to his swim trunks as soon as they hit the beach and pulled a totally Joey from Friends and was buried in the sand. Freezing or not the boy was bound and determined to have a good time. I didn't get the best of pictures as I was worried about sand getting in my camera. But none the less stuff got on my lens or in my lens and now it shows little dots on all my pictures. It's like my photographer's nightmare come true. NOT GOOD!

Yes this is my son Corbin sporting a cherry jacket. Luckily Aunt Tia came to the rescue as we forgot Corbin's coat up at the house. The boy was warm and that's all that mattered. Addison didn't care for all the wind and cold temps. Sorry Tia you can kill me in the morning this is the only picture I have of her at the beach.Well I should get my buns in bed it's way late and we are going to the Aquarium here in a few short hours. Should be lots of fun taking 14 kids + 10 adults to see lots of marine life. Ahh good times. G'night

I really hope this post made sense. It's late, I'm medicated and really tired....

It Just Wasn't Her Day....

This is what you get when you photograph a tired baby with an ear infection, a sick wannabe photographer mom who has officially lost her voice & tries to take pictures in poor lighting conditions.....

We started off in the house with a hat on but she wasn't about to do the hat so, we took things outside thinking they would get better. Ummm... Yeah not so much.

All she wanted to do was eat grass and being the mom that I am I said 'NO' which lead to the following....

Oh the weeping and wailing! I'm pretty sure at this point she doesn't care how to be a Hula Girl. :)

She's still darn cute though.
So there you have it, her 8 month photo shoot. It's Terrible and funny all at the same time.

8 Months!

Today my little girlie is 8 months old. She's not feeling the best today so her little photo shoot will have to wait until tomorrow. Here is a random shot from earlier this month.

Some Soccer & Photoshop Actions

I know I've been missing for a few days, but Lloyd has been out of town for the last week and will be again for the next 3 days. Plus soccer has started and I'm a tired (single) mom with 5 kids that are in desperate need of a nanny or is it school? Plus I need to get packing for our week trek to the coast this weekend, that alone is a huge task in & of itself.

Anyway I was a good soccer mom and took my camera to his practice to watch him learn "Headers" & also to get shots of the other kiddos entertaining themselves. I've been messing around with them in photoshop (my new best friend) and the above are the pictures that I played with. AGAIN I'm just messing around and really have NO flaming idea what the hay I am doing. But I kinda liked the way these turned out. I hope you enjoyed my most boring post ever. Well my pillow is calling my name tomorrow morning cometh too soon. P.S. it was so flipping hot today my car told me it was 97. Yuck!

Side note: Sorry Mom there are no pictures of Mr. P as he was with his dad for the day.
