Playing with the Camera

If you haven't learned already from reading my blog, but two of my many greatest passions are photography and my children. If there's anything I've learned about these kiddos growing up, it is how fast they do grow up! When you are little, you are "Eating" to get bigger, you can't wait to turn 16 years old so you can have more freedom, etc, etc. Well, now that I'm 31, I'm like, "HOLD UP! Let's SLOW IT DOWN A NOTCH!" I love that Country Song by Trace Adkins. I think it's called something like, Your Gonna Miss This, Your gonna wish these day's hadn't gone by so fast...

So, there is nothing that I love more than taking pictures of these FLEETING moments that are of my children. Because one day, they aren't going to be this little. I will always treasure these sweet memories. 

 I love how out of the blue, Cooper will look at me and say, "Mommy, I love you!". And he will give me a sweet Cooper hug. I love how he is very sensitive, just like his Mommy. It will help him have compassion one day.  I love how you teach him once and that's all it takes. He's smart as a whip and I love that he's all boy!  I love how Tristan has to have: not ONE, but TWO paci's at bedtime. She likes rubbing the one that's not in her mouth. I love how she has the sweetest voice I have ever heard and she loves babies so much that we have to stop and look at every one.  I love how she loves princesses, her blankie, and how she calls her brother YA-YA. 

With all that being said...Sorry, if you get tired of ALL the pictures of my kiddos. But, for me, my Blog has been the best scrapbook ever!



I love this aged photo! Reminds me of the 60's!



I had my cousin Jennifer  take pictures of the kids and recently got the pictures back on a cd. They are posted on my blog under Photography by Jennifer Neely. Cooper and Tristan's Phootshoot, 2011. The kids saw them and remembered how we made a Tent. Ha! They wanted to make a tent like the one in our picture. Cooper said he was going to put on his handsome clothes. Love it! He came downstairs with one of his ties. So Cute.  So, I tried to rig a tent the best I could in my front yard. I guess I have finally trained my kids well, and now they know what to do when I pull out my camera. :)
