146- DeMann Family






What good sports! 

145- Mom And Dad



I LOVE the last picture!  Priceless!!!

144- The McDonald Family

This is my family!  I love them dearly!!!  This was taken Thanksgiving 2011.  I took a bunch of pictures this day and am going to post them on the next couple of days.  Yep...I got behind in taking some pictures.  I have been super busy and haven't had the time.  So, I am going to play catch up!  I guess I can do that cause it's my blog!!! :)

143- The Ultimate Slide


 Some of my favorites:  Peace Out!

Sliding while eating pie...!

and the total look of fear from Jensen!



So, Curt built this massive slide in his backyard!  It was a huge hit with all of us!  I went down and felt a moment of fear!  We only had a few casualties!!!  Bridger was totally fearless!  He will be our extreme sport boy!

142- Dominos





Kade, Davis, and Jensen had a great time at grandma's house putting up dominos to knock over!  I remember doing this as a kid!  It never gets old to watch!

141- Loving Grandpa


Bridger runs straight for grandpa when we go visit! 

140- Downtown Building


I thought this turned out pretty good!

139- Sisters!!!





Oh how I love my sisters and mom!  We have so much fun together!  McKayla and her friend were with us too!

138- Girl's Weekend


Our new journal we got at "Time Out For Women".  I thought it was cute on Brooke's purse!

137- Grandma McDonald




So, I didn't take these pictures, but have been working with them for a recipe book!  These were some of my favorites of my grandma McDonald when she was younger.  I love old pictures!  Hopefully someone will love the pictures I am taking when they are old!

136- Grandma McDonald's Rolls


I am working on a recipe book for dad with grandma's recipes in it!  I made her rolls so I could put a photo in the book!  They were yummy!

135- Beauty

Kade drug me outside to see this beautiful sunset!  Thanks Kade!  He said, "Mom, this can be your picture of the day!"

1/125sec.   f/2   ISO-100  (YES...I remembered!)

134- Yummy Sucker


Sometimes I just give in at the store for a little peace and quiet.  I know...!!!

1/750 sec   f/3.3   ISO-640 (Still high!)

133- Lego Creation


I am disappointed that his eyes are not more in focus.  I am really bugged lately when I miss the focus.  I am going to be working on this!!!

1/15 sec   f/4.8   ISO-640

132- Dad At Work


This is how Paul spends most of his day!  Thanks hun for working sooo hard!

1/125sec.   f/2   ISO-640  (forgot to adjust ISO)

131- My Little Shopper





This was harder than it looks!  I had all these good ideas for some shots with Bridger pushing the cart, and every time I went to take a picture he would let go and get mad.  It's also hard to get the focus right when it's a large moving target with a two-year old driving.  So here I am trying to set up the shot as quickly as I can before he rams the cart into something or someone.  Despite the difficulty, I got some fun ones!

130- Favorite Books


Davis was the student of the week in his class.  We took this picture to put on a poster to highlight him!

1/6 sec.  f/2.8   ISO-400

129- The Beach



This was the beach at the hotel.  The sand was beautiful white!  We went down for about an hour to look for sea shells for the boys! 

128- Tulum








The ruins of Tulum are right on the beach!  It's a beautiful sight!

127- Big Fish


The giant 6 foot Sail fish that we caught!  It was a monster!


We also caught 3 Mahi Mahi, a King fish, and a Barracuda!

We went deep sea fishing today!  The ocean was REALLY choppy and we spent 6 hours being thrown around on the boat!  Ugh!  I was dizzy for days after!  We caught 5 fish we took back.  We ate 2 of the Mahi Mahi at a grill right next to the dock.  The big Sail fish was catch and release!  An experience that I'm glad I could do, but probably won't do again!

126- Xel-Ha Snorkeling Park





What an awesome place!  We snorkeled most of the day and saw a bunch of colorful fish, starfish, and stingrays!
