Photography class

So I signed up for a digital photography workshop and have had a blast!  I had no idea what this fancy camera did that Mike bought me and I've had it for almost a year and a half.  So I've been taking a million pictures trying to work with the "manual" and apeture settings on my camera and have noticed a lot better pictures.  I even found out I can shoot in sepia which I've been trying to figure out for a long time and I have a timer on my camera so I can do our family pictures.  Which I'm going to try to accomplish today since we don't have a family picture with Ashley in it.  I've also been reading a lot more on photography and am beginning to realize how truely dumb I am!  Ha ha!  on the bright side...I have been doing a lot of things correct and not knowing it and applying a lot of rules I didn't know were "rules".  So all in all I have a LOT to learn but hey at least its a start.  I'll be posting to flickr more often now so go see my pics and see what you like and don't like.  Here are some pictures of my babies!

Super exhaustion!

Well April is zooming by like the last two months.  Good grief!  It seems like my days are like this: change diapers, get a sippy cup with milk for Mercedes, feed Ashley, watch cartoons and drink coffee, make breakfast, clean house and do laundry, shower, bathe Mercedes, bathe Ashley, do makeup and hair, sit down and do bills or time for lunch!, clean up lunch, try to get Mercedes to take a nap (which is rare), time to get dinner ready for Mike, eat dinner, clean up, time to play with Mercedes then fight with her because she hates bedtime, bounce Ashley, rock Ashley, bounce Ashley, rock Ashley, (hopefully during this time Mercedes finally goes to sleep) and finally 11:00 pm when everyone is asleep I get to exercise (yeah right) take a bubble bath and go to sleep....whew....tomorrow I get to do it all over again!  :)   funny thing is...I wouldn't change it for anything.
