The Fort Worth Zoo

I snapped this shot of my two boys while we were at the Fort Worth Zoo...Case is a spittin' image of Joey in this one!

more mexico pics

I obviously took a lot of pictures on our trip to Mexico. Here are a few that I took with my holga (plastic toy camera) and some 35mm film. As you can see, it has a really cool effect when you shoot 35mm through a camera that is made for 120 film. It exposes the film all the way through the sprocket holes, I love the effect:

blinded by love...

Case hears music, he dances. Tonight at Craig Fisher's happy trails party he shared his first dance with someone outside of the family. Emmalie is his partner (Shane & Erin's daughter), and yes, he did get a kiss before the night was over.

Allison's new hairstyle

Allison took the leap today. She's been carrying a picture of the style she likes around for about 6 months (maybe longer) but I always told her I liked her hair longer. I love the way it turned out, she looks great with any hair (probably with no hair too) but I especially like the result. Here's the before and after:

trip follow-up

Well, our trip down south was all we hoped and more. A great time was had by all and we had no major problems. God was good to keep Montezuma at bay as we ate all we wanted and more without too many difficulties. What a beautiful place, we're already planning a return visit!

This first shot was taken with a lomographic frogeye camera, Allison and I found it for $40 at Urban Outfitters in Dallas, I was impressed:

finally...a break

Allison & I are taking off with the Naterman's down to Mexico. Our flight takes off at 7:00am and we will be on the beach by tomorrow afternoon. This will mark momma's first time away from Case and will be my longest time away from him since he was born. We are looking forward to time for relaxation, taking pictures for fun, eating, chasing turtles, and again...stress-free hangin' out. I will be experimenting with my Hogla plastic camera and am looking forward to having a chance at some great scenic shots. Here are a few I've taken recently:

Sweet!

We spent some time at Tawakoni this weekend with my parents, Kim, Ryan & Josh (Kody was at camp) and all of our animals. We had a great time, got to fish a little and spent a lot of time with Case and the family. One of the highlights of the weekend was Case and his Nanny having a moment while cooking Austrailian Cheesecake (no, there's no raw eggs). Case got his first opportunity to lick the spoon! It's one of those rites of passage that all young children need to experience, he thought it was heavenly. Just look at his face!
