Sunday Stills "Favorite"

I'm not sure if I ever posted these photos, but they are favorites of ours.  These are from last summer, of our 2 grandchildren, 2 year olds Makenzie and Caden, on a very hot August afternoon, helping me to finish chores. They were walking together down the sidewalk to the house, holding hands.

I can't pick a favorite. Can you?

Sunday Still's "Happy New Year Challenge"

January 1, 2012

The Sunday Still's "Happy New Year Challenge" was from Linda from Colorado Farm Life.  She suggested this challenge. We are to post our favorite photo from 2011 and our photographic hopes for 2012. Happy New Year everyone and all the best to you in the coming year!

For 2012, I just hope to learn more about photography and take better shots.
Enjoy some of my favorite pics of my grandchildren.

Makenzie and Caden are excited to be together for Thanksgiving and their Birthday Party time.



Tyler is almost sitting up!

I love Tyler's smile.

Makenzie loves to run and yell!

Caden with baby brother Tyler.

Caden is all buff in his swim suit!

 
And these last photos are a series of the Makenzie and Caden in August, when we had them here for part of a week.  Makenzie is in CO and wasn't used to our humidity.  They helped me to feed horses and we were walking inside.

After showers, they were played out and watching a movie!

Sunday Stills "Potluck with a Purpose"

This week's Sunday Stills Challenge is "Potluck with a Purpose".  We are to pay more attention to the anglethat we are taking a shot from.  Some photos could be cropped to make better, or not.

Today, our soon-to-be 3 year old grandson, Caden, came to spend the day. He loves his Pop's tractor. Grandma has a tractor, too, and he knows the difference. 

We have an old lawnmower that he loves to climb on and pretend to turn on and mow. I tried to keep him off of it early this summer, when he was 6 months younger, to keep him from getting hurt. To no avail. I think it's in his blood. We don't have a large farm, but Hubby's family did.

Which is better, the photo with the tractor or the closeup?

Another tractor shot?

Or the close-up?

Then Pop let's Caden on the BIG tractor.

I love his smile!

Caden loves to make the bucket go up and down!

Sunday Stills "People"

This week's Sunday Still's Challenge is "People".  I didn't have my camera with me when I went to town this week, so my "People" will be of 1 person or 2 people shots, and of some of my favorite subjects!

Pop (my hubby) cooing with 3 month old Tyler.

2 1/2 year old Caden fell down, and wasn't too happy, but you just have to love that pout!

Then it wasn't long before he was smiling again!

My parents and their dog, Casey,

and I know this is cheating a little, but I took this photo of my Grandma Ruth's picture that my parents have displayed, as well as all of the older grandparents.

Grandma Ruth was very special to me. I adored her!
Pop and Caden driving the tractor. Caden loves to be in charge of making the bucket go up and down.  Pop has him seat belted in, too!

Later on, I'm going to try to add some horse show pictures, so check back. We are at our State 4-H show in Grand Island, NE the next few days. I should be seeing lots of people, on horses anyways!

Sunday Still's "Patriotism and 4th of July Celebrations"

Happy 4th of July! We haven't had our picnic yet, or seen any fireworks. We traveled back from PA this past week and did catch this flag!  We saw 1 barn with  flag painted on the side, but we went past it too fast to get a pic.  Then Caden was out to swim yesterday and just had to post his pic. And one of our back yard, since this is where we will picnic tomorrow.  Everyone have a glorious day!

Doesn't Caden look buff in his swimsuit?  It has the built in float devices.

This is the best the yard has looked, as we have had so much rain this past month! I had to mow it twice yesterday morning, after being gone for 10 days.  It won't be long before the summer hot sun of July will have it drying up! For now, I'm enjoying the green!

They are bigger than he is!

Caden with his pumpkin!

I wasn't there the day Caden got his pumpkin, but I couldn't resist posting some of him searching for the one that would be his!

Happy Halloween and Pumpkin carving.

I can't wait to see how both Caden and Makenzie carved their pumpkins!
