Photography Class

About 2 years ago, we bought a really nice camera. I have loved taking pictures with it and the way the pictures turn out, but I have always just used the auto setting. For about the last year or so I have been wanting to take a class that teaches you how to use all the other functions on the camera. Well, this fall I finally have the opportunity. Last Monday was my first class and while it was a little over whelming, I did enjoy it. And I look forward to learning more each week.

Here are some pics that I took using the aperture speed and the shutter speed.

Ryan's First Soccer Game

Last weekend, Ryan had his first soccer game. Grandma and Pawpaw came to watch. It was cute for Pawpaw to watch Chris coach Ryan, because Pawpaw coached Chris when he was he was Ryan's age.

He did so good. Him and one other boy on his team were the only ones to score a goal. He was so excited when he did. His game was at 12:30 and he was getting tired, so we had several meltdowns through out the game. We are going to have to work on toughening him up. He had a great time playing and said he can not wait for his next game.

31 weeks

I am 31 weeks this week. My doctor appointment is on Friday and we will see how this little girl is doing. I have been having lot of braxton hicks contractions with her. I probably had them with the boys but did not notice them as much. Some are painful and some I can just keep on doing what I am doing. I am going every other week now to appointments which means that we are getting closer to meeting our little girl.

We pretty much have every thing we need to get started. The only thing we don't have yet are some bath towels, but there is still time to get those. The boys are so cute with my belly. They love to love on it and give her kisses. I think she is going to be one loved little girl by her big brothers.

Not much else to report, so I will leave you with a belly pic!

First Day of MDO 2012

Yesterday was the boys first day of MDO. They were so excited to start school. Ryan is in Pre-k4 and Zachary is in Pre-K3. The first this year was so different than last year. They walked start into school and went to their classes, never once looking to see if I was coming behind them. They were so excited to see all their friends.

They both had a great day and I got good reports from both of their teachers. I am so looking forward to a good year this year.

 Passed out after a long day of school and his 3 year check.

Birthday Celebration in El Campo

This past weekend, we headed down to El Campo for Labor Day weekend. Since, we were coming down we decided to celebrate Zachary's birthday with my family this weekend. We did not do a whole lot just spent time together visiting and relaxing.

 Zachary got a new big boy bike from Aunt Brittany and Uncle Travis. Both the boys got a power wheels four wheeler for their birthday. They got it this weekend even though Ryan's birthday is not till November. They loved riding it all around the back yard and out at deer camp.

We had such a good and relaxing weekend, which was just what we needed before our crazy school life starts.
