Rock and Roll

 As I sat bloging last night I was inspired to learn how to take better pictures.  Who better to practice on than my own kids.  So before Mason could call his freind to play I made him be my first subject.  I wanted to practice on settings and lighting and other things.  He insisted I take pictures of him with him rollerblading.  I thought perfect.  Motion shots.  I took lots of pictures.  Thanks to digital camera's you can see instantly your screw up and can delete them. I managed to get him to do a few still shots. 



Porter was my next subject.  He came up stairs bragging about getting 99% on guitar in Rock Band. If that is not a true rocker I don't know what is. 

This is going to be so much fun. 

Snowman season

  Porter needed work on his bow so we went over to Grandpa Fox's. Grandpa got out his archery stuff, explaining things to Porter the whole time. They put the thingys, thats what I call it, on the string to hold the arrow from going up or down so aiming would be propper. After they completed the task they took it out to try it out. Grandpa had the perfect target, a melting snowman. Porter delighted at the thought and took aim. Hitting him. After a few shots and some fun talk with Grandpa Porter took the arrows out of the snowman, fidgeted with them for a bit, I asked if he wanted me to hold them he said "Nope I am just trying to wipe off the blood." I looked down and the "blood", snow,  he was trying to wipe off just kept twisting around the arrow. I just laughed. Grandpa helped him wipe the blood off the arrow, smiling the whole time, like a proud Grandpa who's grandson just got himself a two point snowman

Great end to 2010.

Spending time with freinds is a great way to see off the old year and bring in a new.  Angie had us all over to her house for games, food and fun.  It was fun.
