some of my favorites

just a couple of our summer days!
just a hint of orange...but enough to enter it into this challenge



my favorite this week(above) i love his expression. he was at the playground and was in one of the tunnels...he would run to the top throw himself down and giggle has he slid down
 

Bubbles

 
when i saw what this weeks theme was we practiced last week when our temps reached 100 and higher!

 this next one didn't turn out but you may be able to see the air bubble that was trapped in his trunks! he though it was the funniest thing!
 they had so much fun blowing BUBBLES in the water!

LEM "White"

Photobucket

i was stumped with this one until we had a thunderstorm go through  and then the ski cleared up with fluffy white clouds and the sun ws so bright!! this is SOOC
have fun and join us over on Live Every moment!

Shoot and Edit laughter and a little extra





this one has a soft glow

just becasue i like Black and White

Photobucket
fixed exposure and contrast, sharpned and sized for web!
i think i'm happiest with the last edit, how about you?

and for the little extra! our twins are just 4 years old but we have been teaching them their ABC, shapes, colors all that good stuff! With 2 older brothers who needed a little extra help in school and one who was home schooled for kindergarten they have picked up on a lot of useful information! we had them both tested just to see if they were ready for kindergarten!! I will let the video make you smile as Sarah who has overcome so much in her short life including brain cancer explains to you what has happen!
click on the screen and it should play for you.

in her excitement it may have been hard to understand, she says (I am so excited i get to go to kindergarten!! I'm so happy!!) have a wonderful weekend friends!
