A little bit of Easter, a little blurry.

I think I need to get another camera. I want a little point and shoot, like my old camera, so that I can take quick snapshots at family gatherings. I love my Fujifilm, but I can't seem to get it right when I want quick photos of kids moving around and doing stuff. Logan moves at the speed of light, and it is very difficult to get clear pictures of him when he's busy. I also prefer natural light which presents its own set of issues. I did try a few with flash, but they just aren't what I'm trying to achieve. I'm still learning my camera, but, I would still like another small point and shoot for in the meantime. Logan's newest thing is to run, throw himself down, and then wave his arm in the air while shouting, "I OK!" I couldn't get a picture of that because he is too fast.

Here are some snaps of Easter day. Sorry for the blurs. Just deal!

It sure didn't take long for Daelin to get the gist of how to play with this toy. He loves it!



Grandpa and Grandma enjoying the kids.



Logan kept Great-Grandpa occupied.



Whoopsy-Daisy!



Here he is talking to the other baby that was there.



Discussing options.



OK...I remember how to crawl. Let's go! Logan spent a good part of the time crawling while this little guy was there.



This is what he does if you ask him to smile for a picture.
Everytime.
Annoying.



Saying, "I don't know". I can't remember why.

Happy Easter

My blogs seem to be picture heavy, lately. It could be because I'm spending so much time with my photos lately in an effort to get them organized, labeled, tagged, and edited. It could also be that I'm just feeling a little lazy about writing. If a picture says a thousand words, then I'm doing some pretty long essays here. I will put the short version above each photo.
These are all from when we used to do Easter in California. Oh wait! The first two pics are from up here in Washington.

Gotta love eggs colored by children!


I don't know which expression sums this picture up!



Gotta love the squinty face!



Like any hunter, Jeren is proud of his catch!



Power to the almighty EGG!



Another expression essay. Is she smiling or plotting?
Is the other one frowning or squinting?
Only the hairdresser knows for sure! haha.

Emergency Room

I decided to replace my planned blog with this blog due to the fact that I spent the night at the hospital with my sister because she broke her wrist in a fall at her job. I didn't get to bed until 8am and didn't want to do a blog where I really had to think and compose. So here is a nice little visit to the emergency room. I found some neat things to photograph while waiting around. So without further ado...

A Visit to the Emergency Room

First wrap.


Final wrap.


All done and all slung up. Waiting for discharge.


Handy new arm rest.


I love that he keeps his clamp handy hanging on the
outside of his shirt.


We were in 3B. They brought the x-ray machine right
to the room.



And, in no particular order, here are some of the things I found
to photograph.

Scanning pictures is like going back in time.

For some reason the boys thought sleeping on the floor in
their clothes was a treat. Keri was just there for a little bit.

Licking the bowl clean.

Like a deer in headlights.

Caught messing with the Christmas tree.

Not sure, but I'm sure it was a game of teasing the baby.
I'm thinking maybe he didn't like the feel of the koosh-ball.

Jeren hiding in the fabric box.

I have no idea why David has a black eye in this picture.

Tired after a long day as a flower girl.

Maybe one of the girls knows what was going on here.

Wordless Wednesday, Smiling Faces

This turkey is a montage of all the faces that I took pictures of at our Tuesday Thanksgiving. There were friends, family and a scarecrow in attendance. The individual pictures are below. I forgot to include myself. If you click on it to enlarge it you can see the individual pictures.
