tmbp - round 2

so when you have three kids and you are 0 for 3 on the nap situation - you pack it up and head to the park


I'm always so thankful that kate and lucy are so content in their stroller!!


emma said that her favorite part was the slide


although it seemed to me that she truly enjoyed it all!





we had to have a little talk about how "sand balls" are VERY different than "snow balls" and are not to be thrown!





the babies got a turn on the swings - kate was not really a fan this time although I'm pretty sure I can change her mind this spring!



lucy on the other hand:



LOVED IT!!!!

back in the trusty stroller, "Mr Tyrone Legletts" {his name changes a lot - this is my personal favorite} And as much time as Mr Tyrone and I spend together, he has become my fourth child and the only boy I will ever have!



walking distance from the park was the "back of the ocean" {according to emma} - otherwise known as the "bay"






do you even have to ask what she is drawing??!!?


I truly think her faith is never far from her mind!!


man, I love my children


and man, oh man, I love snack traps - brillant beyond brillant invention!!



Photography tips:
I have yet to try this but our teacher has suggested that if you have photoshop elements, then you should shoot in RAW instead of JPEG. You will have to convert each picture to JPEG in order to print so you have to have some form of post-processing like photoshop. But with RAW, you can correct any errors which is what I need to do b/c I seem to make them a lot! I absolutely LOVE photoshop elements and bought it for $50 at Costco - they normally sell it for $80 and sometimes run coupons. Also, he said if you plan on enlarging your pictures to poster size, then RAW is definitely better! And all I know how to do in photoshop is basically hit the "smart fix" button but I'm tempted to take a class next fall if I get the okay from Wade!

Round 3 coming soon - it's my personal favorite!!
