Just to give you a *little* idea of some of the sassiness we are dealing with around here…
OMG – how tall does she look!?

Clickin Kids
I’m part of a little study group of women from the Clickin Moms community (it is an online group for moms who take pictures – you can get feedback on your photos, and get lots of great ideas!). My study group is all about understanding exposure, something I know I need to work on. I’m a little behind in my “studies” because I keep forgetting to read the book and take the pictures, but tonight I finally decided to take the pictures for the first assignment. I had to get my camera’s manual out, too, so I could figure out …

Sunday morning was a great morning to go take pictures at the pumpkin farm. It wasn’t too sunny, it wasn’t too hot, it wasn’t too cold, and my kids were in good moods. Mallory looks pretty serious in these pictures because she was busy watching all the other kids play.
I took about 180 photos and ended up with about 20 that are decent. I’m still learning my new lens and need to practice with the shallow depth of focus. I’m also supposed to practicing with exposure but I’ve been sort of busy.
This …

So far so good, eh? We are on our way to {hopefully} a nice Christmas vacation!
Quote of the day from Saturday: I was trying to get Mallory ready & out the door so I asked her if she was ready to go watch football.
MCB got all sad and said “but I want to go to the TAILGATE!!”
Grandpa & Carson
Mallory, RB & Carson (Mallory always says that Rick is just Carson’s daddy, not hers. But I assure you Rick is bof of my baby daddy.)
This past weekend was threatening rain and I was so torn about whether to take any or …
Love this cartoon
Sweet Baby Carson
My whole family, except Carson, slept in today so Carson & I had some fun playing time by the early light of day. Watch as he tries to copy what I’m doing.
I have decided that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this age of almost 6 months. Carson is able to sit up, roll all over the place and semi-scoot his way around – which means he is able to entertain himself for a good amount of time. Yesterday at the tailgate, he hung out on the blanket alone for at least 15 minutes, just watching people walk by and playing …

Gotta love that Mallory wanted to put barrettes in her dad’s hair :-)

Mallory on Film
I got her hooked on rhyming by singing the Name Game with her. Then she proceeded to rhyme EVERYTHING for a couple of weeks. I think we’re over it now, but here she is singing the song a couple weeks ago.
And – in case you needed to know how to spell Mallory…
From the mouth of Mallory
“Cooper needs a barrette because he’s going to be a golf player”
“I am going to take your picture – say ‘stinky diapers!’”
“You tell me ‘stop doing that, Mallory’” (like when she’s playing with something or doing something she knows she isn’t supposed to, like taking the roll of toilet paper off the holder, just for the heck of it).
STB: “Ooh – you washed your hands! They smell like GRAPE!”
MCB: “No they don’t. They smell like octopuses. Do you like octopuses?”
Out for a walk last week – she asked me to hold her “leafses” (leaves)
We were playing today and she told …
