FFF: Bloopers

As you can see from the title, this week's theme is bloopers. Everytime I try to take a picture it's blooper time. So I picked a few of my favorite examples of the kinds of bloopers I deal with everyday. Hope you all enjoy your weekend! And to all the Daddies that read this blog....Happy Early Father's Day!

Example #1. This is an every day occurance. I go to take a photo and Toby turns around right as the flash goes off. He thinks it's hysterical.

Example #2. Here's another great one. Someone is not ready for the photo....in this instance it's me. I look like I'm doing a Pantene commercial or better yet... anyone remember Jermack (sp?) Bounce Back Hair?

Example #3. Yet anyone terriffic blooper. Absolutlely no one is looking at the camera. Very candid! We specialize in those.

Example #5. Here's one from last summer. Look how little they are. We are already anticipating our return! This falls under the category of trying to get two children to sit still long enough for a good photo. Laughable really.

Example #5. And my last but certainly no least example of our bloopers is a child lunging forward at the camera. Lili loves to do this! At least this picture turned out adorable with part of her head missing.

Random Cuteness

They both were very cooperative with picture taking today. So I got some very cute shots of them that I thought I'd share. You get five pictures of each of them. The humidity and heat finally broke here yesterday but we are heading back up towards 90 today. I love the summer!!! And so does Toby! He lives to be outside. Now the Diva...she hates all things outside. That includes the pool, the grass, the heat, and the fact that her brother has a much bigger space to get away from her.


Hey there's that camera again...I guess I'll smile.

I'll get you Mommy!

It must be hard work to play with the dino grabber...look at her tongue.

Hmm, what can I do with this plate?

Intently watching George (Curious George that is)

Voom, voom, voom (I can't really spell the car noises he makes)

Where did all the sand go?

Covering himself head to toe in sand... his favorite thing to do in the sand box despite my protesting.

My new favorite picture of him smiling, which he does ALL the time but I can never catch it on film.

Being attacked by the tickle monster. I love his giggle!

A couple more pictures

Here's close up pics of the cakes I made and a couple more of Liliana.

Liliana's Birthday Weekend

We had a VERY busy weekend. Saturday was my cousins' graduation parties (Rege graduated from college and Emily from High School...congrats to both). Then Greg, Lili, and myself had a wedding to go to. We left wild man with NaNa and PapPap. Then yesterday Liliana turned the big O-N-E. We had a party here at the house with about 25 people. It was a great time. Thanks everyone for coming and sharing in our special day. Lili made out! She got 13 outfits and a t-shirt, a laptop, a crab that makes noises, a couple stuffed animals, some books, maracas, money, and some other things that I know I'm forgeting. Here's the pics from the weekend and a montage from the party. Once I get hold of my Mom's camera I'll post some more pics.


Anyone want a bird house?
