A few pictures

Wow I cant believe its been this long since I've posted, I guess we have been busy.  Here are some random pictures from our summer.

Getting pushed on the swing by big brothers rules!



Chief was complaining all summer that he didnt get a chance to "drive the boat" in the pool so we made sure he got a chance before closed the pool.  (Doesnt he look elated?!?!)


Malia says "I'm rockin the princess outfit"

Malia and Daddy


Malia's first real dentist visit, she wanted to fill out her own forms



It didnt work, she would not open her mouth no matter how many prizes we put in front of her , so we are trying again in two weeks.




Wow, is it me or do all these pictures look real "grainy"?  I noticed that blogger changed again, maybe thats it?

This weekend

This past weekend we went where? CAMPING of course, lol. As always we had a great time. We were in Gettysburg again, Dylan and Leigh came down Saturday to spend the day (and night) with us so we all went to the Adams County Winery and had a wonderful time. Every Saturday they have a free outdoor concert and it was a beautiful day for it. We will be going back often.

Some of the vats of wine.

Here we all are tasting the wine. All the fruit wine was good but oh my, the Blueberry and Blackberry wine was to die for!


Relaxing and listening to the music







And of course getting flung in the air by big brother is always fun!












We took Dylan and Leigh on a little tour of Gettysburg.

New Pictures

My mother had two dresses custom made for Malia to have some pictures taken in. Heres my first ever attempt at taking portraits of Malia. Please keep in mind that these are "rough" copies and that I'm going to be doing some post processing on these. I would LOVE to add some textures to some, but I have no idea how to do that. So if there are any CS4 experts out there and you feel like giving me a tutorial or know of a good one that already exists please contact me! Also you might notice that Malia's nightgown is on backwards in the pictures that were taken with the wicker chair. We did not realize it until we did a dress change on her! Hahaha, so we will have to retake all of those pictures and the ones outside too.

These pictures that were taken outside are "blown" and overexposed. I'm going to try and fix them with lightroom.
