Flag Football!!!!

Wood has been playing flag football with some of the boys from the ward and they just had their semi-final game! Sadly.. it did not end so well But I got to bring my fancy camera and try out my ZOOM lens! SHVEET! Well I learned that it's a lot harder than one may think, you have to ALWAYS be ready and focused on the person you want. I definitely did not watch as much of the game as I would like mostly I just tried to stay focus on Woody.. here are some of the end results:

This one I'll probably end up playing with in photoshop, but it turned out O.k.
Poor kid, couldn't keep up with my man

this is a pretty good one, if I do say so myself
this one isn't really in focus but he's got a cute smile
After spending almost the entire game with my eye in the lens I now appreciate why my mom did not like video recording or taking pictures of events because you really do not get to truly enjoy it! But the pictures are fun!!

Lately I've been loving photoshop. Here are some of my creations! It's cool to see them next to their originals BUT I don't have that much patience :)

Fourth of July.. I mean Pioneer Day

I had my first ever experience of a real Pioneer Day Holiday. I have lived in Utah for 5 years now and I had NO idea that fireworks were included on Pioneer Day. for Pioneer day we spent some time with Wood's family and it was so fun because the Sneds got to come up and spend it with us too! Here are some pictures....

Us watching the fireworks
We had some fireworks that shot up G.I. Joe guys and they came down in parachutes and the boys LOVED them, so we went to buy some more and got this huge pack, that we thought had 35 G.I. Joes.... they turned out to be 35 sets of strings haha but the boys loved running around and collecting
Max and all his prizes
I love this picture, I think the color is perfect and little Max doing his trick with closed eyes and no legs is precious!! I am really loving my new camera


The boys loved riding their bikes so much that Woody wanted a turn too!!

What do you think?

I edited this picture that I took of my nephew. The first one is the original and the second one is the one I edited..

Does his shirt bug you in this one? Woody says it looks fake because it's just black and lost all of it's depth, so I'm wondering what do you think?

Introducing.....

My messy house :) Don't worry it has since been cleaned!! But can you find the new addition??

If you guessed the computer you were right!!!
I keep trying to tell Woody it's mine since he has the laptop but he says that it's OURS.... lame

Woody and I were planning on buying me a computer to use for school, because it's SO obnoxious when we both have things to do on the computer and only one computer! But we were planning on waiting until September when I had gotten my teacher salary!! But Wood found a killer deal at UVU for this ginormica one! So we splurged :) Now with my nice camera (thanks mom!!) and my nice computer I really want to get into taking pictures and editing them... maybe during Christmas holiday because I doubt I'll find time once I'm teaching!!

Anyways... just thought I'd share my new toy!!
