Life Is A Hallway

Today a friend called to tell me that Lightning McQueen was in town...but only from 12-6.  She called at 1:15.  We were all the way downtown by 2:00....we only had to listen to "Life Is A Hallway" like 10 times or so on the way there. 

I don't know how much more this little guy can handle....Buzz Lightyear one day, Lightning McQueen the next.  More pics coming soon...

Toy Story

I figured out that I fell behind on our blog around last July and it just keeps getting worse.  I always want to make new posts but think I need to catch up on everything from July until now first and that is just getting me more behind.  So, tonight I am going to blog about tonight.

We went to see Toy Story 3 Disney On Ice tonight.  Everyone loved it...especially Will.  During intermission he kept asking me if I was having fun and then saying he wanted to go back to the 'show'.  The girls wanted to make sure I took a picture of the 'huge bear' (even though he's the 'bad guy') and Will's absolute favorite is Buzz.  Here are some pictures....and, as a photographer, I must state that I took my ol' point and shoot and didn't even edit these pics....feels very refreshing actually.  :)  Oh, and yes, I do look just as bad in real life tonight as I do in that picture of me...but who could resist Will's sweet smile?

Fun!

Will was quite popular in the online world today! This morning I found out that I was featured on the Clickin Moms blog. Here is that post...click on Will's picture to see the post.

Then, tonight I found out another photo of Will was featured as the cover image on another site...this time I won a free 16x20 canvas which I will be ordering for our house soon. :) Here is the link to that site:

Ok, real soon I will stop boring anyone who might possibly still be reading this and will get back to blogging about the important things in my life...Emmie, Katie, Allie & Will.

Will

I made this storyboard today. I wish I had one of these for the girls also. :(

Yay For Me!

I feel funny making this post but if you are reading this blog it is because you are either family or a good friend so you will forgive me I'm sure.  :)  I have to be proud somewhere.  A couple of weeks ago I achieved a goal I had been working hard to achieve.  My application for PRO was reviewed and accepted by a panel of well-known professional photographers and now I can play along with and learn from them.  I was just denied this past September.  I actually knew I'd be denied at that time but wanted the feedback so that I could improve.

Also, I entered a little contest to win an online workshop.  The theme was green.  I had plans to do a 'green with envy' image at a local camera store.  Then, I decided that it was Wednesday, my day to spend with Will, and that we should do something more fun for him.  We went on a scavenger hunt throughout the house to find anything and everything green and we had fun.  I entered my image just in time and found out this morning that I won.  :)  Yay... $300 saved.  There were so many amazing and beautiful entries (more impressive than mine for sure) but they stated that I won because they loved that I included my child, worked so hard and that it was one impressive pile of green.  I think they also felt bad that I had to clean up that pile, ha.  :)
