I like taking pictures at the river, so many different things to take pictures of.

My first batch of whole wheat bread that turned out well, and tasted very yummy.

And these are simple and ‘light’ cinnamon rolls from the same whole wheat dough. Oh, they are so yummy.

This weeks photos are more outdoor photos, which I have completely enjoyed taking. We bought a new propane grill because our last one died. They are never fun to put together,

but we are always glad when they are done. :)

The farmers around here do a control burn to take care of the weeds on their property. When the farmer behind our house did his, you know I had to pull out my camera and get some photos.

Paul took some pictures of the clouds while we were out there.

Then later it rained while the sun was out. It was the biggest and brightest rainbow we have seen. It was still sprinkiling outside, so I was a bit nervous taking my camera out, because I have no cover for it. But I did it anyway, and glad I did, it was so pretty.

On April 14th we celebrated Paulie’s 15th birthday. It was actually a two day celebration. We took him out for his birthday lunch on Paul’s day off, then he opened presents on his actual birthday. He had a great birthday and really enjoyed the presents he got. :)

His big present was his first big lego project he’s ever done. He was real happy to get it.

He started working on it right away.

He got it finished in a couple of days. He is quite proud of it. :)

It was a slim week as far as my photography goes. I was real busy and didn’t have time to bring out my camera too much. I think if I’m too busy to take photos, I may just be too busy. ;)

Some yummy potato & broccoli soup I made.

We had some real nice weather this week, I got to do my work outside.
DSC_0249

We also have greenery now. :D

Paul and Sarah decided to try a fresh coconut, I didn’t like it too much.

I like this picture of Sarah, she looks so studious.

These are shots from when we went to my parents house last weekend. I’m thankful we had at least one sunny morning that I could get a few shots.

This is the view from my parents driveway.

Some mountains had less snow than others.

I really like the shadows from the clouds on the mountain.

This was my favorite shadow shot.

This is one of my favorite shots with the house and the mountains in the background.

We went to my parents house this past weekend. It was a great time with family. We wanted to drive up to a beautiful reservoir for a photo shoot, but the weather didn’t cooperate with us. Thankfully on the last morning we were there, the sun did shine so I got some nice photos of the local mountains (which will be next weeks 365 Photo Creations). :)

This weeks 365 Photo Creations is family photos. I’m trying to learn how to take people shots. It’s still a learning process, but I’m having fun trying.

This is what my parents living room looks like when we are all camped out there.

Great Grandma with Chase, my nephews first baby, 15 months old.

I was laying on the floor trying to get this shot.

I couldn’t believe my timing catching the blocks in mid air.

Chase has got the cutest smile when he’s laughing, but he wouldn’t let me get too many shots of him laughing. I was glad I caught this one.

Yes, I am very late with getting my 365 photo project posted this week. It’s been a busy week, but at least I am taking some photos through all my busyness. :)

Some more pictures of my nephews new baby girl.
DSC_0119

Such a cutie.
DSC_0116

My nephew is a good father.

I tried taking some photos when I went for a walk last week. It was cloudy out and chilly, but still a nice walk.

The snow on the mountains are gone now.

This is our street. We live at the end.

I was really trying to catch the cloud formation, but my photo didn’t do it justice. I had to get my neighbors vehicles in the picture for contrast otherwise you really couldn’t see the clouds. Believe me, it was a beautiful sight.

We went to our local museum which had an exhibit of dinosaur replicas, they even had the replica of the T-Rex Sue. Plus it taught about paleontologists, what they do, how they do it, things they use etc… It was really great because Sarah has always had an interest in paleontology, fossils etc… Usually our museum doesn’t allow us to take photos of exhibits, so I didn’t bring in my DSLR. But it turns out they did allow it with this exhibit. So all I had on me was cell phone camera. :( The pictures aren’t the best, I really am not that good with taking photos with it. But at least I got some photos. The next exhibit is of King Tut, I’m hoping they allow cameras with that one too. That’s the one I’m really looking forward to. :)
