Ha Ha

Okay, so Pat has made fun of me for doing Facebook for a long time.  He got on there recently and was tagged in this picture from college.  He had a funny story to go along w/ the photo.  He was a Fiji at U of A and volunteered to be on the committee to recruit new fraternity members.  He said they got a lot of money to do this and ended up just having parties all the time and not really recruiting anyone.  I hate to imagine how crazy his college years were.   When he was starting school at Fayetteville I would have been in 6th grade.  That's funny to think about.

Feeling better

Gabby was sick for about 8 days!  She's finally better and now I don't feel good.  I guess I shouldn't complain since this is the first time we've been sick this yr. / winter.  

I scraped my pennies and bought a new lens for my camera, but I haven't even felt like experimenting much yet.  Hopefully this will pass soon.  

Press Release

I am mad because my husband didn't mention that I work here too.  He says they must have edited that part out.   Yeah right.

Play Date @ the Park

Gabby got to meet her friends Isabelle and Carly Grayce @ the park Thurs.  She has gotten so fearless on the big playground equipment.  She even wanted to get in the big swing.  I was pushing her and she decided to let go and fall out.  Oops.  I caught the swing just in time so it didn't knock her in the head.  Close call!

A Little Video....

Sunday's bike ride

Yesterday was a great day for a bike ride, so we hooked Gabby's trailer up to Pat's road bike and off we went.  We had not been on the bikes in a long time and Pat was using his clip in pedals.  I think he was a little nervous when we would stop.  One time at Ben Geren he fell over clipped in and a truck full of people laughed at him.  Gabby absolutely loved it.  Every time I would ride by her she had a little grin on her face.

Saturday afternoons are the best

Spent the first part of the day outside reading one of the photography books I've recently ordered on Amazon.  The concept of aperture, shutter speed, and ISO are finally coming together in my brain.  I practiced changing camera settings on my dog Benny.  :-)

Also went to see "He's Not That Into You" w/ my friend Kim.  It was cute, but a little long.  It's been so long since I've gotten to go to a movie I guess I just wasn't used to sitting still so long.

Pat was nice enough to watch Gabby.  Yeah, the house was a wreck when I got home and she didn't have a shirt on, but they had fun and that's all that really matters I guess.

A Day at the Farm

Yesterday we went to Pat's sister's farm to celebrate her 50th b-day party.   That's her with Pat's mom in the picture.  It was a lot of fun playing w/ all of her animals.  She has 2 miniature donkeys, 8 dogs, turkeys, goats, and chickens.  Gabby got scared away by one of the roosters, but for the most part it was a good day!  Can't wait to go back in the Spring when the wildflowers are out.
