We had fun! As you can see we did as much as possible on our holiday. First we stopped to see Shjannon and her new little princess! After that we headed on to Pincher for Shara's bridal shower. It was so much fun to see everyone, as my Auntie Brenda and her girls came down to celebrate with us. We spent some wonderful tome with my adorable little nephews, Trystan and Tyne. ( yes, we enjoyed seeing everyone else too, but sorry guys, it is hard to compete with those sweet faces!)We had fun at the park and the swimming pool! Thanks sweet boys! Lexi and Tasia got all dressed up for church (Lexi knows she looks cute , you can just tell in the picture). After our Pincher visit we headed up to Calgary. We took the girls to the zoo! Lexi slept through most of it, but Tasia loved it! My wonderful friend Karly gave Tasia a lesson on making music using a piece of grass(see Karly, I knew all that education would pay off someday)not too sure if Tasia has caught on yet, but I am sure she will keep practising! Next we headed over to Patti and Lee's for a wonderful day early Mother's Day supper and had fun catching up with the Bourque side of the family. And Brant, a little advice to you, no more skipping school, it is just too expensive!
I had to include these pictures because, I for one, have never seen Tasia Rae dirty. She was out in her great grandparents yard and decided to make soup out of the dogs water. When her mom came out and a saw what she was up to, she said to Tasia, "Tasia your hands are dirty" Tasia looked down, agreed with her mom and promptly wiped them on her brand new yoga outfit ( of course she does yoga, you silly people!)
This is my beautiful niece Ashley, who is graduating this month. She got all dressed up for me so I could practise with my camera. Let me tell you, it so much easier taking pictures of big kids than little ones! I think she looks stunning in her dress. That girl grew up really pretty!!!
I am having a lot of fun trying out my birthday present. I think the pictures are sharper and clearer, and I know for sure that they have nicer DOF (depth of field) but is it six hundred dollars better??? I have two weeks to make up my mind. As you can see the weather was really nice here this weekend and since grandma was babysitting we decided it was time to pull out the baby pool. Tasia and Kaydence were thrilled, Ahria was not too sure about it.
I love these pictures, here I can see a big difference with my new lens. Tasia loves the water and would stay in it forever if we would let her.
These are some pictures I took of our Kelly girl! She was a doll and very patient with me as I tried to figure out how to get my lens to work proper. I also got a speedlite or a exterior flash for my birthday. I have not tried it yet as I thought I should perhaps try one thing at a time!
