Camping

We took the kid’s on their first ever camping trip this past weekend. It was a lot of fun, great….. friends, food, and time shared.  We went with 6 other families from our hood.  There were 15 kids in all, they traveled like a pack from campsite to campsite giggling and causing trouble.

We had a fantastic time and we are still doing laundry trying to get the campfire smell out of all our belongs!

Summer Hawk

Indy had been asking me for a mohawk.  I agreed to do it for the summer.  He has had fun with all the added attention, promising to go back to a more clean cut look  for the school year.

I actually kind of like it…don’t tell him though.  I’m pretty sure he thinks it’s cool because it’s rebellious.

Hair is hair it grows back.

I love his snaggle tooth grin, it adds to the look don’t you think!  Soon enough his mouth will be full of grown up teeth and he will begin the awkward transformation we all go through till we start to resemble our adult selves.  I say celebrate this milestone with pictures.

My Kids in the City

Okay so it wasn’t just my husband I asked to pose for portraits in the alley way!

Don’t you love the strand of hair in her face, even with a clip she always has a stray…It makes the portrait even more her!

Kindergarten Read-A-Thon

Indy had a read-a-thon in his kindergarten class.  We all went and brought our favorite books to read.  He was really excited to get to wear his pajamas to school.

Soccer In Motion

I love to watch Indy play soccer and this practice I was trying to catch him in motion.

Action photography is something I am working on.  I am okay at stopping the motion, but panning is a whole different story.

Pokemon

Indy loves to draw.  He was inside today due to crummy weather and was intensely focused on drawing Pokemon.

The Toothless Wonder

Indy is growing up, he is moving into that toothy look as his baby teeth fall out and the adult ones are coming in.  Last night his first front tooth came out! Losing a front tooth is a big deal. I was sad that  I was at work when it happened, but he waited to go to bed until I got home so he could show me.  Now I know how my hubby feels when he misses something while he was at work, no fun.

One of Indy’s favorite things to do is go to the skate-park.  They built one a few miles from our home and he and his friends make plans to go there after school all the time.

I don’t really mind as long as the weather is nice and this time it was awesome.

I took along my camera.  The sun was bright as it was midday, but I didn’t want to embarrass him too much by breaking out my reflector to bounce more light into the shadows.  These are skate-park pics after all.  Maybe I’ll try get him to go in the early morning sometime when the light is better and most skateboarders are still sleeping!
