2. Go to an ANGEL game this summer, and take a tour of the stadium.

3. Take a hot air balloon ride. (this has been on the list for a while)

4. Sky Dive... I always have wanted to!!

5. Get Laser Eye surgery, I was close a couple years ago it just wasn't time.

6. BE more CRAFTY!!

7. Lose 50 lbs.... or more!!

8. Learn how in the world to make Cake Pops. (they are so cute, but I am sort of intimidated by them)

Family Pics

I have been interested in photography for a while now. Ever since Ryan started playing football and I would take action shots. I always tried to get the cool ones like in the newspaper.
I upgraded cameras after the first year. Used my Fuji 1000 for 2 seasons. I really didn't understand the settings till I started stalking reading blogs.

Then I wanted to step it up a notch - So this summer there was a Fuji 4000 - 30 times zoom, records video in HD, action shots are like a be-jillion a sec. (well almost).  I looked at it and looked at it at Costco for-ever! (OK for a month) then broke down and bought it.

While it is still considered a point and shoot - it still has so much more to offer. I LOVE IT!!

The camera that I covet is a $1800$ Canon. I have to save for that tho...

THEN.. I was introduced to a free program - PICNIK - it edits photos. LOVE IT!! Of course it is not Photo Shop but for a FREE program it is AMAZE-ING!! 

So this fall I had the honor of taking my families and my BFF's family pics, with the new camera, and picnik...

Here are some that I took ( I love head shots the best of all)... I love photography..
