Kaden and Johnny. Kaden, the taller guy, is Johnny's nephew. LOL!
I love the next two. Taking turns watching each other laugh. Boys.
Kaden. Always ready for the camera.
Johnny. Playing it cool.
My sister, Ty. My SASSY sister Ty.
Her and the kiddos. Short runs in the family. Her 12-yr-old will soon tower over her.
Ty and her beau, B. I REALLY like this shot of them.
I'm ready for a wedding. Ty, you said the beginning of next year, right? :D

Most of the time they inspire be to become better. Occasionally they inspire me to consider throwing away my camera. Or shutting down my computer. Sometimes I'm inspired to take a writing class. Sometimes I'm inspired to show/be more of my real personality as opposed to who I THINK people wanna see/meet. But I am always inspired nonetheless.

Don't forget to take advantage of the special!
INCLUDING cards/announcements/invitations.

Friday I thought it would be a good idea to introduce my son to origami. I enjoyed that in elementary. He saw a few of the possible creations and wanted to make a pigeon. He wanted to make a pigeon until he watch my lightweight struggle with the crane. LOL! Operation Origami Pigeon became a no-go. One to the planes section of the site. EXCITEMENT! So, we made planes.
One of his flight sequences...
Maybe next weekend we'll conquer that pigeon.

On the way back tot he car from the wonderful library visit, Malik points out a house across the street. It's decorated for Halloween.
Malik: "Look at that house Addi."
Malik: "See it?"
Addi: "No! I don't wanna look!"
Malik: "Just look. It's not scary." Addi: "No Malik!"
You would almost think that he was actually trying to help her overcome her fear...until you see the look on his face. He was enjoying her being afraid.
A closer look. See the way the corner of his mouth curls up? Tisk. Tisk. Tisk.
So much for being a good big cousin (in the moment) and genuinely helping rid the fear. But boys... Boys like to gross you out and scare you. I know my brothers did. I believe it's in their genes.
He then points the house out to me. As if I hadn't already seen the thing. "Mama, look."
This boy. The same boy who had just asked to sleep in my bed after Addi's uncle scared all of the children with a gargoyle mask. "No, Malik. Go to sleep." Maybe he was trying to get a little vengeance. Or, maybe he was just being a boy.

A few weeks ago my son's class walked to the local library. He was anxious to visit the library again. My cousin mentioned to me that her daughter would like to go, so we brought her along. It was her first time at the library and I needed to shoot SOMEthing, so I photographed the event. Plus, I figured her mom might enjoy pictures since she wasn't able to make it.
She's a EXCELLENT reader. She zipped through 5 or 6 books while we were there. One of the books she read (which surprised me because it was scary) was "In a Dark, Dark Room and Other Scary Stories". Creepy! One of the stories in the book reminded me of the surprising part of the movie "Orphan".
After being asked a question about her book...
... I believe my son was more interested in her book than he was his own for a minute or 2.
With her last book, Addi she spotted a rug. Sitting on it was a MUST.
We'll go back to the library this coming weekend. My wasn't home an hour before he finished reading that Dragonball Z book. It was more like a comic book. He can't wait to go back. Maybe next time I'll get something. LOL! Like I need to add finishing a book to my to-do list.
