56- Kade The Biker

Kade humored me and let me take some pictures of him!  He loves to ride his bike and I wanted to try to get a perspective looking up!  What a good-looking kid!

55- Choo Choo Tracks

Ok, I am soooo happy!  This was so fun and turned out better than I even hoped!!!  I wanted to get Bridger on some train tracks with his Thomas the train toys and book.  He did so great!  I feel like I am finally getting this photo thing!  YIPPEE!  The first picture is my favorite!  I used it for my homework.  :)

54- Bear Lake

We had such a fun time at Bear Lake with our family!  The day was beautiful till about 3:00 when the rain, wind, and hail came!  It was crazy!  We waited it out and then stayed a little longer when it cleared up!  The picture of Bridger above is him making a "birthday cake".  We sang to him twice and blew candles out.  Then he went ahead and took a yummy bite!  It was great!

53- Last Homework Assignment

These are 2 photos that I used for my last homework assignment.  I had to try the tree again.  This time I used my wide-angle lens and I like the perspective of seeing the whole tree and how big it is.  It looks like he's in his own dream world!

48- Breakfast

So Jensen wanted to wear his owl hat today for breakfast!  Don't worry, it's the middle of the summer and he didn't even have a shirt on!  But, whatever right?!  I love that I documented the fact that we didn't have any clean bowls or spoons this morning.  It really doesn't happen too often, but it did today!  One day I will catch up on everything!!!

47- Boys

Cute boys!

46- Antelope Island

Birds, Dragonflies, and Gnats!  There were birds EVERYWHERE!  The boys were so excited to see them all when we were driving to the island.  Paul took the boys out swimming and I spotted this dragonfly by me and took a picture!  The beach had billions and billions of gnats.  All the dark in the sand in the picture above are the gnats.  I liked this picture cause they are all looking at them.  It was like the parting of the gnats! :)

45- Like Daddy

My homework assignment for this week is contrast.  Haha!  I figured Paul's biggest gun and Bridger would be a good contrast.  Paul was so great and hauled this heavy gun to the spot we wanted so I could take some pictures!  ...and don't worry mom, the gun was NOT loaded and he didn't shoot it!  (But Kade did!) :)

44- Evening Bike Ride

                                        Me and Kade thought this was cool with the sprinkler!

42- A New Chapter

So Kade is going to White Pine this year!  AHHHHHH!  I feel so old!  He is so very excited and is up for the challenge!  We went and got him all registered and he can now say he has mastered the locker combo!  I figured I'd take along my camera for registration so I didn't embarrass him the first day of school!

I caught Bridger playing with one of his brother's airsoft guns.  I'm glad he didn't shoot his eye out! :)
