Snowballs, Pic 4 & 5

The kids had so much fun in Flagstaff last weekend, they are still talking about it.  I am having fun playing around with the pictures I took and found some fun overlays online.  FREE of course, that makes them more fun!
Since we got to see some good, sticky, snowball and snowman building snow, I got some good, posed pictures.
Hayden is first with his "huge" snowball:

And Miss Maya with her "giant" snowball.

Handsome Hayden in the Snow, Pic 3

I'm ahead of myself on my little photo "game".  Woot!
The kids and I headed up the mountain to spend a couple days in Flagstaff with my brother and his family.  It was nice to get away from the Valley and see a little snow.  We saw more snow in Flagstaff than we did the entire time we were in Minnesota for Christmas.  A smidge confusing for the kids.

Hayden begged to play outside in the backyard, so we bundled up and both kids had a blast.  It is tough to get a good picture of Hayden at this age.  He either makes too goofy a smile, wants nothing to do with a photo or has a good smile/look and moves before the pic is snapped.  I finally got a really good one of him:

I know, not tons of difference, but I like it.  =)

Pic 2: Again with the helmet

Picture Numbe 2:
Maya strikes this pose pretty much everyday she plays out front.  She gets irritated with Hayden for not letting her lead.  Or win.  Or he goes too fast.  Or she just needs to show a little drama.  She doesn't really throw a fit, she just plops down on the curb ad pouts for a few minutes.

Just a little overlay to this one.  It didn't need much.  =)

Playing with Pictures

I love taking pictures and playing in Photoshop with them.  I don't have the major Photoshop, just the itty bitty one.  But, I found a great website with FREE textures and backgrounds, so I am playing it up!

I am going to try and make it a goal to at least post 1 photo a week, but hope for more.  So, here is the first of at least 52. 

The before:  Buddy took this, so I can't take the credit there.  But I just loved her little face!
