Some pictures from yesterday...

[April]

My sister Angie and I went to the canyon yesterday and had such a nice time. I love it up there!

I wanted to share some pictures. I should scrapbook them first then show you but I'm too excited to share. I am especially excited about this one of my little boy.... I will be scrapbooking this one soon!

Those are BEAUTIFUL April!! Love that one of Luke and I adore the peeking out from the fence one! I think that would look awesome as a black and white as well! I'll share some tomorrow, I'm up awfully late tonight!

Cute Brooke! Your kids are so cute! My favorites are the pictures of your little girl. The BW seems so classic and the green one has so much personality.

Oh, I want to share! I'm here on vacation in South Florida and it's POURING today, so I'm trying to do a little digie scrapping but mainly I've been surfing the web and reading blogs all day.

I brought my baby camera with me to Florida, so I don't have my good one, but I've been very happy with my pics so far. Unfortunately, the pics on the slide show aren't nearly as bright or crisp as my real pics, but they can give you an idea...

It looks like you are having a great vacation in a great spot! How exciting. Enjoy! thanks for sharing!

All your pictures are amazing Brooke and April and Jamie. The problem is that I was happy with my point and shoot camera until I see all these amazing shots that you guys get. Good thing I know you some people with great cameras...so every once in a while I can get a fun picture too. Here is two that April took of me and my Jonathan up in the canyon. The good thing about April is she is extremely patient to take a lot of pictures to get one good shot. The shot of Bruce and my son is taken by me...the light might not be just right, but who cares! I think it is so cute! I don't know who likes golf more--my husband or boy?

[April]

Jamie! Those are great! I love how your husband got such a great candid of you and your baby. My favorite is that early in the morning one... sooo cute!

Angie, that picture of Bruce and Jonathan is too cute. That's the kind of picture you'll love forever.

Here are a couple I took this weekend. They were having to much fun in the neighbors yard.

[April]

Are those your kids? How fun. Do you have other kids too? They are totally cute. It makes me want to play in the mud.

[peverill]

No they are not mine. I have 4 children my youngest just graduated from High School. I have one getting ready to go on a mission. One is married and the other just works and buy’s toys. I have fun with them too.

Angie and pev... I loves your pictures!

[digimad]

Here's a couple I took this week. I only have a point and shoot, but I think they came out pretty cute anyway. These are my two kids.

[Barb]

April encouraged me to post these here. I took them yesterday on the beach in South Florida. We've had two stormy days, which isn't good for fun in the sun, but makes for great B&W shots.

I don't bring my good camera on beach vacations, these were all shot with a Canon Elph SD on manual. I used Mindy Bush's True B&W actions to convert them.

All your pictures are amazing Brooke and April and Jamie. The problem is that I was happy with my point and shoot camera until I see all these amazing shots that you guys get. Good thing I know you some people with great cameras...so every once in a while I can get a fun picture too.

Speaking of point and shoot......I've had my P&S with me here on vacation and as you can see, I've taken some GREAT shots with it. I have a Canon Elph SD330 (which isn't even available anymore). Now you can get the SD770 with 7.0 megapixels for about $249. I highly, HIGHLY, recommend it for anybody who wants a good and creative camera at a lower price point. It's also small enough to fit in the palm of your hand (mine is about the size of a credit card). I take to to places that I don't want to drag my 30D, like the beach, the ballpark, the amusement park, etc. and it ALWAYS delivers great shots. ALWAYS.

Here's a couple recent ones of my sister from our family reunion/
