My Jam Session with Jaren!!!

http://photographybyjaren.blogspot.com/

 

 

 

 

I have had the privilege of spending time with Jaren and learning how to use my camera!!
I will admit life was much easier on auto!!! I have come to terms with words like ISO, aperture, shutter speed, all of which were in my manual but didn't mean a thing to me.

Crystal meet us at the park and lets us practice with her and the kiddos!!! They are such gorgeous models.

My pic didn't turn out so well :( So I'm really anxious to see what Jaren comes out with!! Perfect no doubt!!! Ill never be a photographer but I really have fun trying to be!!

Scrap Book Layouts

 

I really enjoyed working with this paper line,, it was so bright and crisp. Perfect for some of our beach pictures!!!

 

 

I really enjoyed my trip to Pensacola. Watching your children be adults is a bitter sweet thing. Chase and Ashley are a fun couple and love each other so much. It makes me happy just seeing them together!!! I got to spend time with Beverly and discover what a great person she is.. Thanks for the memories!!!

Happy Holloween from the Greens

This year the party started without me!!! I worked and got home around 8 to find the party in full swing!!! I loved it!!! Everyone had such cute costumes and was having a great time!!! We had chili dogs and pizza,,, and Halloween candy for desert!!! The grand babies went trick or treating in our neighborhood and really made out with a huge stash of treats!!

Makes you wonder what 4 men would stand at a laptop and look at with such intense interest??




Clinton won the prize for most original costume.
He was amazing, he was a ZOMBIE, his make-up looked like Hollywood quality!!! Of course he created it all himself and did all the work. Great job Clint!!!

 

Garrett was an Army Man complete with his very own set of dog tags!!

 

Charis was a beautiful Princes Pirate with an ATTITUDE!!

 

Eva Lauren was a feisty Kitty with a dark side!! She passed out the treats and decorated the entery way of the door!!! Good job!! She had some majic potion that i was afraid to try.

 

By the time it was over I was exhausted after a long day at work. The house became silent, I talked to Darrell at work as he finished his last shift of NIGHTS,,(to bad time fell back and he had to work an extra hour). But its over now and we will have the same schedule,,, been waiting for this one for a while!!!!

 

 

I have so many things to be thankful for in my life, having a loving husband is one of them. We don't have to do anything special, its just the being there for each other that I cherish the most. I love the lazy days that we spend watching the history channel in our Pj's, or the days that we spend outside raking up the fall leaves. Our family completes us, giving each other parents, children and grand children. Darrell Green I love you so very much!!

Having fun with my daughter!!

Last Sunday we meet Kirk and Amy at Gaston's to get some family shots of them. Eva Lauren took the Nikon and I had my Canon and we had the best time shooting them.. She has a great eye and the physical agility to get some amazing angles.

 

 

 

She is growing up so fast. She is an amazing young lady now. Im so greatful to have her as my daughter. She is a blessing to me and all who are around her!!

 

I love you baby doll!!

What can I say, I love Fall... more pic of last weekend when we had Caily and Abby!!

Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I cry because I'm faced with this cancer.
Sometimes I cry when I hear my Daughter say she doesn't need me any more.
Sometimes I cry when I see some one lose the one they love.
Sometimes I cry with pain that this disease has caused me.
Sometimes I cry in anger when life seems so unfair.
Sometimes I cry when I hear that another person has been diagnosed with Cancer.
Sometimes I cry when I don't have the answers to give to a grieving family.
Sometimes I cry when no one will hear.
Sometimes I cry.
Sometimes I cry when I'm happy.
sometimes I cry when I see someone in pain.
Sometimes I cry when I feel there is no more that I can do.
Sometimes I cry when I realize that I'm not invisible.
Sometimes I cry because I'm grateful.
Sometimes I cry because I feel so small.
Sometimes I cry.

 

Pumpkin Patch Kids!!!!!

Today we went to the Mt Home Pumpkin Patch. It was a very cool fall day, thank goodness no rain today!!! We rode on the Hayride, got to pet some little donkeys, work our way thru a corn maze, and best of all pick out a pumpkin to bring home...Kirk, Amy,Garrett, and Mallory meet up with us there......





I really love fall, its a time to draw your family near and start the fireplace, just being together and spending time doing the things that get overlooked. The beauty of the changing foliage is amazing, and its starting now!!!! So enjoy the weather this week and see what the Ozarks have to offer!!!
