I have been fortunate enough lately to have a very talented photographer mentoring me as I try to take all this in!! Jennifer has been so incredible with her information, tips and advice. Tonight I showed her the below picture and she made a couple suggestions, including to crop it differently. Now I should have known this as I just finished a book that told me not to center stuff like a billion times, but alas I forgot! So with the advice I made some changes and am very pleased with the result! It's amazing how a few little changes can really change the whole look and feel of a picture! Thanks Jen! :)
Well, can you believe I didn't take any pictures today?! I was getting ready to post and realized this. So I went in and started snapping some sleeping kiddos! Earlier today I was feeling bad again and my throat and head were hurting so I was in bed most of the day. Then this evening we had revival services at our church. Those went very well and we had a few seeking at the altar as well. I'll leave you with sweet little Treyton. 
My allergies are feeling much better today! We missed morning church, but were able to go this evening. This afternoon I just was playing around with the camera. Logan is my new model! I can get him to sit and pose for me - for a little while at least! He's not totally sure on all his "poses" yet. I asked him to give me a serious face - he wasn't sure what that was and asked if this was a serious face:
And Owen - well Owen is 2 so I never know when he will cooperate!! Here's what I got today!
After Bible study, the kids wrote letters, drew pictures to send to our troops over seas. Then it was lunch time! We took sank lunches down to the creek and ate. The kids had fun wading in the water. Afterwards there were activities. In the first one there were 2 teams (boys vs. girls of course!) who had to fill a cup with water and run to a bucket and pour the water into it. The bucket with the most water won. Of course there was a catch - the cup was full of holes! Logan didn't do very well the first time, he didn't quite get it. The second time it was his turn he made it to the bucket and got a little bit of water in it! He was so happy and put his hands up in victory! He was very excited and his team was cheering him on - it was so cute! The second game was an egg toss - Logan managed to throw and break an egg before the game even started - go figure! Luckiy the eggs were hard boiled!
After activities the best part of camp - swimming! At least if you were in the water - those of us who didn't get in were melting in the heat! Owen had a blast in the pool! That kid was up to his neck in water and it didn't faze him one bit! He was going every where. He would get piggy back rides to the deep end, and had fun flirting with the life guard too! She let him ride on her floatation thing too. Logan had fun playing with Mason and "jumping" into the pool. Yes I intentionally put quotes around that because I don't know that you could actually call what he was doing jumping! But he sure enjoyed it. Treyton even got in the water and splashed around too. He normally doesn't like cold water - but with this heat he really enjoyed it! Although I think he enjoyed the popsicle more! I put that picture on the top of the post because it is one of my favorites from today! I love how blue his eyes look!
Tonight we had the first day of Camp Canaan - and no I'm not camping! It was a great evening with good food and wonderful singing. Our children's choir sang and the ladies from Calvary came and sang as well. Logan didnt' really sing much until this one song that he did know and he belted out what he knew - it was amusing! After services, we went down to the camp fire where Owen really got into the s'mores. Oh and I mean that literally! Owen got a haircut this afternoon - as did Logan, but Owen's got cut soooo short!!! I really don't like it! I miss all his hair! I wanted it trimmed up but thsi is soo short!! Logan and Jerrod stayed at the camp, but I brought Treyton and Owen home to sleep here. Neither one napped today either. I brought Owen in first and told him to wait in the hall for me while I got Treyton. Well when I got back with Treyton I found this.....
Poor guy was exhausted from his busy day!!
Today our neighbors were moving. We volunteered to let Taylor come over to play so they could get more stuff done. Logan and Owen were sooo excited to have Taylor come over! They had a lot of fun. They played and played and played some more! They played inside, outside and back again! They played with play dough outside for a very long time! They had a blast when we brought out the Veggie Tales play dough barber shop! After a while, after Treyton and Owen went down for naps, the boys went outside and played with bubbles. I had fun trying to take bubble pics! Hope you enjoy! (oh and if you didn't know and were worried, don't be - Taylor is just moving one street over!)
Treyton hung out in his wagon and watched all the crazy boys! He is doing very well - he even has his top middle left tooth coming in!! It has broke through his gums!
Well as normal as we can get! Today was mainly spent trying to unpack and clean - and I'm far from done. I did play around with my camera and Logan modeled for me! This kid always gets comments on his gorgeous eyes, and I wanted to get some pictures of them, so I had him stand in front of a window to get that natural light shining in on them. I was also able to get some cute shots of Treyton playing with his pajama shirt!
