Thanksgiving

Holy smokes it feels like I haven't made a post forever!!! I can't believe that Thanksgiving has come and gone already. Before we know it we will be saying that about Christmas. I Really don't have much to say about Thanksgiving other than it was great, had fun just hanging out with family, good food, YUMMY pies, lots of cooking, lots of dirty dishes, lots of KIDS, Salty Banana pancakes(Thanks Kat they were great), gained at least 5 lbs, Christian lost McQueen, the boys playing with the cats, 4 wheelers, the Motorcycle, late nights, early mornings. Over all FUN FUN !!!

Yes Cooper is sticking his fork up his nose.

Thanksgiving wouldn't have been the same with this sweet little boy! Dutch and Karen giving the motorbike a try.
The kids kept on sneaking into the paper cups. Building towers with these cups entertained these guys for quite sometime.

Last week when we were driving to photo class this is what we saw. It was so breath taking we had to stop and capture the moment.

Assignment #2 & #3

This week our assignment is HDR pictures. If you don't know what

an HDR picture is you need to google it and check them out. There

are some out there that are pretty dang amazing. Here are a few

of mine. I will add the rest when I finish them up.

Photo class has been quite interesting. I really have been enjoying

the assignments, but our teacher is a little bit on the crazy side.

Last week our assignment was still life again but using different

lighting. I didn't really get in to it all too much. I just don't see

myself taking pictures in the dark with only one light on. Its just

not something that is practical. Although it was good for me to

see the ways light can add different effects to your subject.

Double Dose of Dog Dewormer.....

Apparently Cooper likes Dog Dewormer. YUM YUM!!!



Here is the story....

Today most of my time was spent in the kitchen cleaning. While I was scrubbing out my refrigerator (which by the way was disgusting) I put the garbage can next to the fridge so I could chuck all of the gross food in it.

Last winter we got a parvo shot and some dewormer from the vet to give to our dog. The job never got done, and this stuff has been in our fridge for over a year.

So today when cleaning out the fridge I put the dewormer in the garbage can. I never saw Cooper get it out of the garbage, but he came into to kitchen with all this white stuff all over his face, and he was holding the dewormer syringe. Yes it was completely gone.

The Idaho Poison Control number is 1-800-222-1222. No worries, they actually give kids the same kind of medicine if they have pin worms or tapeworms. The amount that was in the syringe was a double dose for his weight and age. I haven't noticed any side affects so I am sure he is okay.

Today it started snowing and the flake were huge and so I was going to take a picture of them. Well we got side tracked and this is what I got a picture of instead. Faith and Cooper were helping me take the picture. Faith thought that is would be a better idea to take a picture of her. So I tried but every time I would try to take her picture she would look into the hole of an orange paint roller. (Do you love the Peanut Butter all over her face??)

This is the real picture I was trying to get.
