Photoshop Class, Project 2 - Celebrate!

Here is my project for day 2!

Photoshop class, Project 1 - Sassy!

So I'm finally taking an online class to learn how to use my Photoshop software that I got for Christmas. A few of my friends are taking it too so we're posting our daily projects from the class. Here's day 1. It's of my friend Andrea and I. We're donning our super chic life jackets in preparation for a big pedal boat ride on Gig Harbor.

Happy Summer!

Wearing my band manager hat today...

The prospect of a pretty major gig currently presents itself. So once again I jump on the roller coaster that is the life of a band wife. Last night we did an impromptu photo shoot after Aaron's softball games. Today was spent doing managerial type duties such as networking site designs, organization and preparation. I have literally spent the entire day working on band stuff. I am so worn out. Aaron has been gone since 5AM this morning, not to return until about 10PM tonight and every day this week will apparently be a repeat of this. Here are some of the shots we got last night...(thank you Misty for your amazing editing skills!) I'm pretty happy with how they turned out. Now I just hope all of this is enough to get them the gig!

Does this scream summer or what?!

Where the Wild Things Are

When we moved out "to the sticks" a few months ago, people kept telling me that there was so much wildlife out here. I believed them but didn't really think we'd see all that much. WOW, was I wrong! Really, not a day goes by that we don't see some sort of animal not normally found in neighborhoods! Even as I'm doing this post, a deer just walked across our front lawn. Aaron saw a bear in our backyard last week (which I would have LOVED to get a picture of...oh well), and he has also seen a bobcat on his way to work. We also have a herd of elk that frequent the area. We of course have raccoons who we frequently see raiding the neighbors deck for cat food. And most evenings we have at least 5 bunnies frolicking in the yard. It is so funny to be sitting watching TV and to see bunnies go BOING, BOING, BOING out the front window every few minutes! Yesterday we looked out the front window and saw a mink on our front porch. I tried to get a picture of that, but the boys beat me outside and scared it under the porch. Unfortunately these animal sightings usually happen to quickly for me to grab my camera, but I have been able to catch a few here and there.

So this might be considered NORMAL to some of you, but I think most of you know that I'm a city girl through and through. This is so AMAZING to me! It just never gets old. I love that the boys are getting to grow up seeing all the animals and enjoying God's creation!

Fishing with the Boy(d)s

Aaron took the boys fishing last week with Chad Boyd and his oldest son, Cole. I think they caught 8 fish total and each boy got to take turns reeling them in. The boys had a blast and while I would've loved some actions shots of them actually reeling a fish in or something, I wasn't there and am happy to at least have these pics! Yay for boys fishing with their daddies!

Oh, to sleep like a kid again...

One of the boys' special treats is to get to fall asleep in our bed occasionally. Usually Aaron goes to bed before me since he gets up so early and that leaves me to move the kiddos to their own beds before I have a place to sleep! The other night when I went to move Landon, this is how I found him! How crazy is this? He was completely asleep when I found him this way! He gave me a little frown from the orange camera light shining in his face, but other than that he didn't even move!
