Photo collage

The last couple of days have been so very busy and I have been taking pictures just not posting them.
I am going to do a mass upload now and dump about 3-4 days worth of photos in one post.
Thank you to everyone for bearing with me.
These are photos from Quinn's birthday as promised! Some from home and some from the Putt Hutt mini golf place.
The kids had a blast :)

Happy Birthday QUINN!

Today is not valentines day for us...its Quinlan's Birthday. Our little boy turned 7 at 0619 this morning!
We have a party planned for the putt hutt this morning at 11. I will be taking lots of pictures so look for some later this evening!

Sorry...

...I have been taking pictures, but I haven't had the time or patience to be posting them. I do manage to get my camera downloaded to the computer and nothing more.
My life right now is in a bit of turmoil as we deal with my mums illness. Yesterday was a really rough day for us all, getting the information that is is colon cancer was a shock!
I will try to get some photos posted...not sure if it will be in day form or just a collage of things.

Please keep my mum in your prayers. She is positive right now and wants to fight with all her might.

Day 24

Today was a day that well lets see, will stick in my mind for a long time. I will explain more at a later date.
After the kids were all settled in and fed, I went outside and took a few pictures of our beautiful friend the screech owl again. The lighting was much nicer around 530 this evening and I got some nice shots. The owl was sitting so far out of the hole in the tree this afternoon. I got a bit too close and it took cover. Noise was made to sound like I was leaving and it worked, the owl came back out of the whole, peeking at me the whole time :) The results of being Patient ( very cold too) was the following pictures. You can actually see its open eyes

day 23

I only have one photo again today worthy of posting, the rest didn't turn out as I had expected.
She was so tired today, that when she sat beside me and tucked her feet in between the cushions I knew she was finally going to just crash. Most nights I don't allow her too, but she didn't have school the next morning and I couldn't take the crying over EVERYTHING anymore.
She looked so cute I had to take her picture.

day 22

Well today was another day filled with errands and not much camera time.

I should have taken my camera with me to Sue's house so I could take a picture of how her hand looked after I peeled off her bandages! Aside from the nice lump in the middle of the incision it looks pretty good. Not as big as she was expecting it to be. Maybe tomorrow I will get a shot of it and post it :) A warning to all you squeemish people, there might be a wound picture up tomorrow!!!

Anyway the rest of the day as spent at the doctors office and the hospital and the Car dealership.

I took some pictures when I got home. I wanted to play with some settings on my camera to see if I like them or not. I shot many photos of the same thing at the same zoom and same apeture and then at different shutter speeds etc. This is a result of many trials but I think it turne out well and the colours are very vibrant!

This is the reason we were at the dealership on and off. My Jeep is leaking yet again!!! (3rd time we have had it into the shop for repairs) Its been doing this on and off since we got it last February and each time we are told its fixed. The sunroof drains are freezing shut causing water to back up in the jeep and pour out of my map lights. What sucks the most is you don't know its there until you turn a corner and the water spills out all over your paint legs, your seat, the gear shit, the radio and CD player Everywhere! Today I was told to put on mud flaps on the front tires or to clean the snow off from under the wheel well everyday. This is manufactures defect, its been reported on many jeeps of this model...they moved the drain to right behind the front tires where it gets cold and snowy and freezes! I am at the point where I am ready to return the vehicle and be carless for a whie! I have to take it to the dealership every couple of weeks to "thaw" out...no way that is going to happen. This shot is taken on my Iphone (low quality..sorry) You can see the water pooling in the lights. This amount shows how much water is in there, and it already dumped a bunch on me turning the corner.

I was playing again with my new lense and took a picture of Bekah's digital Camera. The colours came out so nice and true I am very pleased!

These last three shots are of my kids all tucked into their beds sleeping tonight. I just had to get a picture of the peace and quiet in the house tonight :) They aren't the best of pictures but it captures them sleeping...thats all that counts....right?!?!?!?!

day 21

I headed over to Eric's Dads house this morning to help him do a slide show using his photo editing software. Bekah and Eric came along with me. Bekah in her true form began acting cute and silly. I just had to grab some shots of her leaning over the couch with her hair touching the floor.

Then Norm was saying how good the light was and he started getting her to look in different directions as I snapped some nice shots of her. Here are the pictures I took today.

This is all I have done with photos today as it was a lazy day!
