well, after a rude awakening this morning with a thunderstorm and the forcast to have 60 percent risk of thunderstorms and rain, we finally got to go to the beach with shannon children and husband. shannon is a co worker. the children were well behaved and had a lot of fun with them. i went straight to the store and got them deveoloped. theyre shirts were not that vibrant of blue they were more medium (I THINK) got a lot of other cute pictures too. will probably make a dvd for her with all the pictures of the day. the weather ended up being perfect. THANKS SHANNON FOR INTRUSTING ME HOPE YOU HAD JUST AS GOOD OF TIME THAT I DID. .HEATHER i will be praying for the tragic miss hap. and for me and the doctor, i w as in and out like a yo yo. 25 minutes, most of the time was waiting at the front desk. i never sat in the waiting room. as soon as my tues appointment with my primary clears me for surgery i will have exploritory surgery, then he thinks i will need to have major surgery, patty nora and mom agree i need the major surgery and then my friends say dont, but mom and patty and nora have all seen me look like crap and feel like crap for a long time now. well enjoy the pictures. love you all. i had no clue that hunter had the sand in his hand thought it was neat how it showed up in the picture falling out of his hand. good action shot.

WELL, WELL, toms dream is finally comming true, good luck on you 6 week adventure may you have 6 weeks of sunshine, beuty and love the world passing you by. my crazy adventureist of a brother in law is starting today going down the missisippi river from winsconsin all the way down. in this little boat. what a great thing to do however you all know me, i would love it until the first heavy wind and /or thunderstorm. may god bless you your whole trip.

well know that i have a camara to get this closeup of the bird house the birds have stayed away, i was in the house getting smokey to come out side and when i was out WITHOUT my camara the deer was right there and when i got back and sat with my camara ready aint NO ANIMALS come. PATTY CAME THOUGH that was a nice surprise. well tommorro i have a 3 hour stress test for my abnormal ekg, they say i will be fine alone (good since mom cant drive) but patty said if it bothers me i can call her and she will run me home. then i have to work all night so i am cleaning some tonight so i dont have to worry about laying down inbetween the stress test and working. the picture of the oak tree was just soo perfect with the lighting, new leaves with the sun shining. AHH i LOVE the spring evenings. and smokey is waiting patiently for the birds to come. have a great memorial day and remember the reason why we all celebrate.

hi, as i expected shannon has a double ear infection and canceled her portrait, i didnt blame her and was actually quiet relieved. i felt like 2 tons of brick were on top of me this morning and now so nighty night after this, . she has set the date for may 26th, and now wants to bring her husband . she has even offered to pay the developing,. i dont think that will be neccessary. at least she isnt trying to say forget it. so i went in to the photo contest and there are NO ribbons near my pictures but they were professionals there also. so i just kept upbeat and got a lot of answers and listened (easedropped) to alot of people. the judge was answering someones question and he was talking about how most of these are not the actual picture at all they have played with it so much. he said look take this sunset for example, you can tell it is the actual sunset and has beutiful colors but real colors, i just wanted to grab my camara and get a picture of him pointing to my picture. that was enough for me. this best in show was a girl sitting in the lincoln memorial or one of those with sun rays coming through. the host asked him to come and tell us how to get a picture like this. he said he took 7 shots and merged all of them together. boy that made a few people angry as well as the judge. this guy won 3 times. one for each catagory. the judge says they need a seperate catagory for manipulation. well i put 50 dollars to each so maybe some of them or the public will by them before may 31st. jakes graduation party is tommorro, they started to put up tents today . remember all the problems with tent pitching on the lake or any other vacation, well it still stands true today. ha ha. more pics tommorro.

the top picture is actually after the 2nd picture didnt work. try try try again. ha ha.
