New Camera Lens

We got a new camera lens for our trip to Hawaii. I think it takes some pretty neat pictures. Here are some that we have been messing around with!

Easter Time with the Daltons!

Can you believe it is springtime already? And that Easter is already over? I can't! The kids had a great Easter! The weekend before we dyed Easter Eggs and they had a great time. Easter Morning they woke up to clues from the Easter Bunny. He had hidden their baskets. After following the clues, they found the baskets in their hiding place in the tupperware cabinet! The kids got stuff for our trip to Hawaii, sunglasses beach towels, and stuff to do on the airplane. Braxton got 2 games for his Leapfrog Leapster and Lilly got her own Leapster and 1 game. They have been playing ever since!

Enjoy the pictures, we hope everyone had a great Easter!

The Wetlands!

Tonight we decided to go to the Pfizer wetlands and test out our new camera lens. It was pretty awesome! We got some really great pictures of the kids!


I don't know why, but I really like this!


Can you say "Senior Picture Pose?"


I seem to have a freakish obsession with trying to take a good picture of a sunset.
A work in progress!

Soccer Time Again

It is soccer time again! Braxton's team is the Falcons, and at least 3 of the other boys will go to Martyrs with him this fall. They have a 25 minute practice and then a 24 minute game. Braxton did great! He was running with the other boys! It was really cold though. We have learned our lesson about keeping a blanket in the car! Lilly had a great time running up and down the hill over and over with Grandpa and Uncle Andrew! His next game is supposed to be Sunday, but if we get the colossal snowstorm that we are supposed to, it might be cancelled!
