Playing with the camera January 2014


We finally go our new camera.  We splurged and got a Canon EOS 70D DSLR with a couple of lenses.  This was a birthday present and then Christmas present...Mike has spent countless hours comparing, reading, watching youtube videos in trying to determine which is the right camera for us.  Thanks to him, he did all the research and finally decided to get this one.  These are just a few shots we initially took with the camera playing around with it.  This is my STAR that I love and hangs on our shop when our Christmas wreaths are not there.  I love it!  I think it looks perfect!
 Our house from across the street.  We were waiting for the school bus.  Last Fall, I requested the Transportation office if they could move Decker's bus stop to in front of our house.  It was always a nervous endeaver to walk down the street with Cody who is two and Decker who is five.  Mink Rd is a busy street in the mornings and I always had to make sure I had a firm grip on both of them.  They were gracious and added the bus stop for Decker.  Our neighbor behind our house also uses it now.  Next year, Annie's girls will be going to Cottage Lake and hopefully we'll keep the bus stop busy for another year.  It is so nice to walk out the front door and catch the bus.  ;)
 Here it comes...
 Decker is a happy boy and does love to ride the bus. His drivers are both really nice too.

 Had to play with my jewelry...and no, this isn't an announcement that we're having a girl....  ;)
 Roses that Mike bought for me.  I was in Alaska doing a buyback and while I was gone, an Origami Owl shipment came.  Mike had the heart locket on the silver chain dangled around the vase with these roses in it.  I got home at 4 a.m. and there it sat on the counter waiting for me.  He had even gotten the little chocolate covered strawberry charm and put it in heart locket.  He said I had to have one because I am sweet and a red head!  So sweet!  I'll post that picture at the end of this post.  I had taken a picture with my cell phone and posted on facebook.
 Random picture of Decker's studious face...
 Cody dipping and munching on some cookies in milk.

 Mike was home this morning and took the boys to the bus stop.
 He had the work truck with him for a pick up...
 And here comes the bus.
And Cody, left watching Decker go...

 Here's the picture I took of the flowers when I got home from Alaska.  I do have the sweetest husband!
LOVE!

Meet the Reptile Man February 2014

At Decker's school, they had the Reptile man come for an assembly and then an evening activity.  So we went for the night.  The Reptile man let us hold his alligator and a snake....can I just say, "EWWWW"  and creepy!
