Swimming lessons!

So we have never taken Cowcow out into any kind of body of water. So we weren't sure if he could even swim! He hates it when we bathe him so I though there is no way he is gonna like getting in the lake! So we went out to the lake today and kinda forced him to get into the water deep enough to know if he could paddle and become familiar with swimming. Well he did GREAT! He seemed upset at first but then later he started going in on his own will. Hopefully he learns to love it so we can go on some fun adventures! Here are some pics of our trip.

Take my picture pleaaaase!!!

So after I took Meli's pics, my lil neice lingered about me until she asked if she could have her pic taken. So I took these simple pics of her but she is so beautiful they came out stunning! I think she resembles Cher at times so I had her look a lil hippyish! haha. I love this girl!

Photoshoot! w/Meli

Latest photo shoot. Meli came up with my family from Arizona. She is my sister Leina's best friend so she tagged along and it was fun seeing her again! We laughed (a lot) at the silliest things. On their last day here we did this quick, but fun, photo shoot. In AZ I used to always use her and my lil sis Leina as subjects for makeup experiments so it was like old times when I got to take her pics.

I HEART! WOW!

So I am on the mailing list for "I Heart" and recently I had received an email that they wanted to know how we were going to impact our world. They wanted us to write it on a piece of paper and take a picture with it, to make a statement during the 2009 Hillsong Conference. From those they would choose the pictures they would going to use to make a wall of people from all over the world (and people all over submitted these) who want to make a change and impact their world. The wall came out awesome! And I got a chance to be on it!

This is the picture
Here is the link to when they put me on their site for the first time: http://ow.ly/15GPdI I am on there several times, they duplicated most of the pictures on there. It's easier to see it if you focus on finding the heart. If you go to the link on the website you can see it better.

How fun is that! My face is in Australia!

Kids in all Shapes and Sizes....

My nieces and nephews came up to visit from Arizona and we had such a fun time. These pictures I took after visiting a park. This street had potential for great pics and I never could find a good subject for it, until this crowd of assorted young lives full of character ended up in the same car at the right time. So a light bulb clicked, in my head, before heading home that they would be really fun pictures. This first picture was funny because a man on a bike was passing by us and my nephew Isaac, the one with the peace sign up, was like "Hey man, whats up!" and it was cute because the guy on the bike was equally enthusiastic as he returned his salutations, and then everyone began saying hello and laughing along with the guy on the bike! funny moment.

This next pic reminds me of a tv show like "Beverly Hills 90210" or "21 Jump Street".

I love this last picture because Carla, the littlest one in the blue shirt, hates getting her picture taken. Well this was one of the last ones and she was kinda fed up and put up a pose that openly expressed disapproval. She got through it ok though. She even smiled on some of them after I would make her laugh.

I miss them, hope they visit soon again. I had a blast.
