Iced in with Carmen and Evan

I was hoping my last post of the winter shots
would be somewhat of my own celebration
and a send-off of this terrible weather....i was wrong. It's back.
So, i try to make the best of it, so i bundled up, headed down the road
(like less than a mile.No, I didn't walk, the roads are covered in Ice,so i drove ;)
visited my brother and his kids Carmen and Evan
and of course i brought my camera; I've been deprived of
taking people pictures cause of cancellations
due to the stinking weather....

and this was my experience.....



She got so excited that she HAD to show
me how she spins in the air....
so I HAD to take pictures
Then she decided to be shy.

Then she wanted to take center-stage.

now she's hiding......

now she's sweet... looking =)


and now she's this.....
....haha actually she was delicately holding
this grape, as if she was emotionally attached to it,
that she called "a baby one" because it was soo small,
then she tossed it in her mouth and made that face; pictured above.


sleepy?

nope. Now she's all done :)


And He's just Handsome; crumbs and all :)

He had some grapes too...but he's not quite
as expressive as Carmen yet.

This little guy ALWAYS manages to
make the faces when the camera is pointing some other direction..
still cute as ever though.

Well, that was an eventful little visit...
I love showing up unexpected (with a camera)
I always have fun with my little buddies....

I really should have new post up next week...
weather permitting............
If you haven't noticed...i'm somewhat bitter at ice right now;
i dont even want it in my drink...hahaha ;)

ICE ICE baby TOO cold

I know the snow and ice is old news, BUT i went out
in the FREEZING cold last week (i think i only fell once on the ice)
and took some wintry shots, i meant to post them last week
when the snow was still here, but i got busy and I was in Indianapolis all
weekend...and i came back and it was all melted (thank God!)

If anyone doesn't know we have horses and we raise buffalo,
in case your wondering why i have pictures of them......
no, i didn't go to Wyoming,
just my front yard :)

I will have more portraits posted by the end of the week :)





I don't recommend taking pictures while driving...but i did.
and i liked this shot


this cracks me up...i found a frozen fishing pole in our pond...
someone must have forgotten they were fishing...what?!?!



she was getting curious of what i was doing.


he can get a little too cocky sometimes.....pun intended :)



These two are BFF

Sonny (up close) always gets jealous
when i'm trying to take pictures of Fanci (obviously behind Sonny....)


I'm really not sure what's going on here...
or why his legs are crossed...interesting though...

I can't believe Zach is already 6 mths! He looks so big in these pictures!
Once again i only picked a few of my favorites - he's always smiling!

He is quite the ham......
