Easter Egg Hunt Colorado Style

So we took the kids to a 10 minute dash for easter eggs yesterday. It was snowing a little and just tad chilly, but it was still really fun.

Cars Cake

So guess what happens when you buy a 3 year old a Cars cake with a real Lightning McQueen on top of an icing road?
The first shot I was really just trying to get a cool angle of the Happy Birthday Lucas on the cake. I saw through the viewfinder that Lucas was driving down the street. So I had to shift position to get the full effect of the road buckling under the speed of Lighting.... Ka-Chow.

Lucas is 3!!

Here is our big boy blowing our his candles. Ande felt that three candles wasn't enough so she loaded it up.

Lucas stops for a sec

So for Lucas' 3rd birthday we took him and a couple of his friends to a place called Pump it Up. It is a huge room filled with bouncy rooms and huge slides and tunnels and such. This was the only picture I got that wasn't a blur of sorts. I think everyone, including me, was worn out at the end of the hour. Not sure why one eye is open and one is a little popeye, but like I said, this is the only clear shot I got.

Carmen in my studio

I have finally gotten enough space cleared out in the garage/office/studio to actually be able to say it is sort of a studio now. I bought some basic back drops and lighting and this is one of the first shots of Carmi while I am figuring out the lighting. This shot actually needed a little fill light coming form below to make her eyes not quite so dark, but now I know that for next time. Even if I'm not the best photographer in the world, she is still a cutie.

Miles and Lucas' Back

We had record highs on Saturday so
we took advantage by hanging out in the back yard most of the day. I like this shot because of Miles' expression. I'm pretty sure they were both ignoring me (as usual) but Miles finally responded to the bizarre noises I was making to garner his attention.

All Right, All Right.

I know you have all been clamoring for pictures of me instead of the kids,so here you go. Ben said I look cute in this one.
