Day 183

July's assignment is to completely plan a photo shoot idea surrounding a prop.  I am going to do a Circus shoot, and  I am going to make a circus tent.

Emma and Jackson will be my models, and here is a collage of what they will be wearing...

The costume Emma will wear was my dance costume from 1982!!!

I cannot wait to pull together the rest of the props!

Day 182

I took this same photo on my real camera today. But...my computer is still in the car and I'm exhausted so ill share an iPhone photo...

Today I cleaned and rearranged the garage so that we can fit another Yukon XL in...finally after 10 years we are getting a new car!

Day 181

I finally got to see Brendan hit a home run during a game today!  He actually hit two home runs back to back!!!  I'm so proud of him!

This is from his second at bat...second home run:

B loads up:

B swings:

Home Run:

I pretty much lost all sense of photography after that...pardon the blur!

Team waits at home plate:

and he jumps on home plate with a big ol' grin:

We were the visiting team today so we played 4 complete innings.  We won 15-3!

Day 180

Today was Brendan's first All Stars game.  They won 18-0 in just 3.5 innings!

Way to go guys!  Let's do it again tomorrow!

Day 177

This afternoon I dropped Jackson off for an overnight intensive soccer camp!  He was beyond excited! There are five boys who are sharing a suite!  They all live in our neighborhood!

I know these boys are creating memories that will last a lifetime!  Hopefully they will learn a little soccer as well!
