Thanksgiving
We sure love our family and had a great Thanksgiving. We got to spend some time with Benj's family and my family in Washington. We are so thankful for them and for all of our blessing!
Benj's family has a tradition that everyone in the family makes a pie. We ended up with some really really good pies this year.
Jason had a lot of fun playing with all the toys at both Grandma's houses. He especially loved playing with his cousins and aunts and uncles. He sure loves his family.
Cousin Reece and Jason had a fun bath together and even helped each other get clean. It was funny.
My new hobbie
So I have fallen in love with Photoshop and the fun you can have with making pictures look better. A while back I found a killer deal on a great SLR Digital camera on Craig's list. I have been having fun learning how to use it and plan on some day soon taking a class to learn more. I also love reading and learning about Photoshop because if you take a picture that is not perfect you can play around with different settings until it looks better. This picture Benj took at my sister's wedding with our little point and shoot camera. Ok, so I am not vain. I just thought this picture would show a good contrast between not so good and better. Focus on the photo quality and not me :-). You can see that the straight out of the camera (SOOC) shot is way too dark in some spots and way too light in others.
I ran a couple of actions in Photo Shop to show you the difference.
My new favorite website is The Pioneer Woman. She has a section on photography where you can learn a ton and see her amazing photos. She also has great photo shop actions that you can download for FREE! Check it out!
Civic Duty
I need some advice. I am redoing a motorycle seat cover and since I'm going to all the trouble to take off the old cover and fix up a new one, I decided I would invest a little more effort to personalize. I have four different ideas for graphics. They are just as pictured, red on a black background. Which do you prefer?
Quick get outside it's not raining!
The sun was um sort of shinning and the rain stopped for a little while so we went outside to play. I had to take a picture of Jason's great fashion sense. He dressed himself this morning and insisted on wearing all aspects of this great outfit. I was folding laundry and he discovered his pajama shirt made by Grandma Lloyd. After hugging, kissing, and reminding me who made it we put it on.
He is just so cute :-)
Family Portrait Night
We got a little bit bored on this lazy Sunday so we decided to have some family drawing time. Here's the combined effort at a family portrait. 
And here's one of Jason's handywork.
Fright Night
Halloween came and went this year and it was a blast. Jason had the coolest costume around, it has matching gloves and mask but he wasn't in the mood for that part by the time we broke the camera out. Thanks grandma and grandpa. We only had the spirit to do one solitary jack-o-lantern but hey, at least we did one right?
