IT'S HERE








Finally!!! I feel so exhilarated..like I can take on the world and capture EVERYTHING..I am so excited to read the manuel and get to shooting!!


Sunny Fun this weekend

We went to the Park on Saturday and Boone played with chalk for the first time it was funny..he thought he needed every single piece in his hand and then he started eating it and got it on his face. I have my sister visiting this week with us and she had fun at the park with us!! We also went to the breast cancer Race for the cure on Sunday and she was so so excited about it she kept saying she was going to be in a pink parade so we made cute shirts and went and walked for a mile. IT was fun and rewarding supporting people who had or have breast cancer!

In other news my camera is suppose to be here today will post when it gets here and we are also going to the park again today so I will have pictures for you tomorrow.. ENJOY THE SUN TODAY!

A great little spot I found






I found this little spot on the way home while out walking and it is so perfect the sun hits it just right mid day and once I get my camera you will see alot of pictures from this little park. The stream is cute and has a spot at the end that is flat where the water goes right around I think it's very cute nestled amongst the big hospitals and buildings. SO enjoy the photos...Oh and the wonderful weather this weekend you know I will have pictures coming

Good marrow

Hello everyone..I am so excited to announce I did my first exposure of negatives in the school darkroom last night in class and they came out PERFECT. I will take a picture of the negs in my sleeve and post on here later!!!!!! I am so tickled (if that's the right word) to be going into this profession it just keeps growing with every little creative idea you could possibly have. The sky is the limit because you can use your imagination for everything...I am going to be taking pictures today and then maybe going to the dark room again tomorrow or Monday and using the darkroom again...IT is so much fun to know hey I did that and not alot of people can just go in and understand this whole procedure. But any who I am off to class and then enjoying the day with my SON!! I miss everyone and sorry I haven't been posting!!!

I am back..

Wow I haven't posted in fooorrreeevvver...Ok so I finished my first week of school back and got over my terrible stomach bug. AND I am still nursing my poor little man back to health after he caught a cough and nasty nose from his cousins (where he always gets it). I got some great pictures from Easter as well. We went to Zack's moms house in Davenport and had the whole family there and went on a egg hunt with the kids and it was Boone's first time participating (tear) I can't believe how fast he is growing. Let's see...oh I got into a fight on Friday evening with Zack's brother a shooting fight because FIRST you need to know a little about this guy...he thinks he is always right and women are always wrong..he likes to say comments like women belong in the kitchen and don't know anything about sports ext...well he also thinks he is knows everything and that he is never in the wrong..here is a picture so you have picture of what and who I am talking about...

OK so anyways we are dishing up dinner and Zack goes and sits down at the table and goes hey babe did you give Boone some cough medicine..and before I could answer josh (Zack's brother) chimes in and goes what cough medicine what's it called (with an attitude like wait a min you can't give babies cough medicine) and I said no not yet babe..(this whole time Boone is having a coughing attack) I was getting him some dinner. SO Zack's uncle walks in and chimes in you can't give babies cough syrup..then Zack's mom goes don't worry about it..then Zack's uncle leaves and josh is still asking questions what is it..let me see it and I said "well I guess I am not a mom" because I told him it's children's Tylenol and I have the proper dosage from my doctor to give him mind you. And when I said my comment he yelled at me "shout your mouth" and I got PISSED and I shouted back no don't talk to me like that, and he said shout your mouth Nicole I am not talking to you and I said well we weren't talking to you and you piped up and butted in. And he said no I started talking to my brother and I said well this doesn't concern you and he said no it doesn't concern you and I yelled back anything with MY son concerns me and I will chime in WHENEVER I want to and there's nothing you can do about it. And then he changed his attitude and changed everything he was talking about and acted like he wanted to find out what we give Boone so he could give it to his girls (the ones who always get Boone sick) and I said bull shit josh you wanted to pipe up and tell us we were doing something bad and try to be super parent. You don't know shit so don't say shit! And I walked away still just pissed...

But the thing with josh is he is always like that he thinks he can shout at you and you will be submissive to him and he can say whatever he wants and treat people however he wants and I WILL not be treated like that I have dealt with his shit like that for 3 years now and ya know what NOT HAVING IT! And I hope he realizes now I am going to stand up against him and I don't care if he pouts like a baby about it for months. BUt I am the only one to ever stand up to him and I surprised zack and his mom they were trying to break us up the whole time. SO yeah I had to get that off my chest now for Easter pictures lol..
