Clouds

I have a thing for clouds! I especially love really funky ones. I have taken tons of pictures of them, but Im not very good at it, and seeing clouds with your eyes and through the lens of a camera are not the same! Its a dimensional thing. The three pictures below are just a tiny sampling of the clouds I have pictures of. I dont have a clue what Im going to do with them......kind of stupid really to have a zillion pictures of clouds taking up valuable space on my computer! When my kids were little I used to love to spread out a blanket and have a picnic in our backyard, and then lay and watch the clouds and see what shapes we could find. There were animals, monsters, lots of dinosaurs, cars and all kinds of things. My kids loved it....good memories! When you think about it, our lives are kind of like clouds... we grow and change, we have storms, we have dark days and light happy airy days.... I found out this past summer that my Nick loves clouds too. He would call me or I him whenever we saw cool clouds so we could be cloud nerds together! Gosh, it makes me miss him when I see a great cloud and cant call him! Oh...but thats ok for a while... I have a camera.......... :)

Helga baby!

This is a picture of our Helga and her sister Shelly. Helga was the biggest puppy in Roxys litter (thus the her name) and Shelly was the runt. I think Im gonna start a blog all about Helga to share her craziness with anyone interested. Im going to start from her puppyhood and bring her up to date, but it will be on a different blog. We'll see how it goes!

Cute babies!

Family Photos

Family Photos

About a week before Nick left on his mission I decided we better get some family photos. I spent a couple of days scouting out areas for them and then took practice shots and kept track of the time of day that worked best in each area. I have alot to learn about photography but I still think they turned out ok. We have alot of cool ones and maybe I will post them later.
