Thanks!!! And a little chuckle for me

Everything I've tried to post today is coming up backwards. I was tyring to put this at the end of my other pictures I'm posting today but it wasn't working. So I 'll remember to post things backwards next time then they will turn out the way I wanted. Right? Any way this was the end of my day, yesterday. We went on a food storage shopping spree. I wish I would have taken a picture of it all in the back of my truck. I can not tell you the amount of looks and comments I got yesterday while checking out. I guess not as many people buy food storage this way as I thought or at least not the people I ran into last night! People thought I was crazy!! I felt bad for the people waiting in line behind us so I made sure that they knew that my shopping cart was not the only items they would be waiting on... my sweet husband was waiting at the end of the check out with our OTHER cart ( the big 6 wheeled ones). And the look of pure shock was just FUNNY to me. I couldn't help but chuckle. But I'm not really chuckling now because I still need to finish organizing it all!! And to think this was just the beginning of it since our food storage has been dwindling and I've been slacking on restocking!
Anyway this was what I actually got on to post about:


Yesterday my 2 pre-school classes and I were able to go to the Driggs Fire Department. Where we were taught all about fire safety by the wonderful firemen there. It was a great day and the kids learned a lot while having a great time! So... THANK YOU TO ALL THE FIREMEN!!! We appreciate all of your hard work and for taking the time to show us around!


With great appreciation,

Hobby

I have been having lots of fun with my newest hobby! It's so addicting though. Most (1/2) of my kids have enjoyed being my practice subjects. Dylan, and most of the time Addalyn are just not interested in having their pictures taken, but Abigail and Jaksen could spend all day playing with mommy and the camera! Abigail especially is loving the POSING. My little creative girl comes up with some pretty cute poses. Today we were out using the sun and partly overcast skies for some great picture opportunities. Then I got to edit the photos ~ I am loving black and white or sepia pictures, they make every picture just a little cuter! I am challenging myself to find some great places around the house and surrounding areas for some interesting pictures. Next I need to go for a car ride to scout out areas in the valley for future shoots! Friday I get to do my first baby shots for someone else. I am looking forward to working with a tiny one, that can't run from me ;) I figure anyone I can talk into letting me practice on is a great opportunity! So if anyone is looking for a way to spend some extra time just let me know! :)
