The Many Faces of Reese

Reese has always taken intriguing, breathtaking, beautiful closeups. She can be straight faced and tight lipped but I am struck by her beauty. Sometimes I feel vain when I say this since so many people say she looks just like me. 

 She told me that she was going to make a funny face.

 Then I asked her to make another funny face.

 Then she said she was going to make an even funnier funny face....guess what, she was right because I downright laughed out loud. I love this girl's sense of humor. 

Now you can't see her face in this picture, but needs to be included. This was Karl's greeting from her when he got home from work! She LOVES her daddy!

4 and 6 year old photog

Karl and I discussing our lack of pictures of us, just us, since having kids. Like most families, we have grabbed way too many pictures of our little cuties, but rarely make our appearance in the pictures ourselves. So after Karl's promotion we had Brady and Reese try to grab a few of us.

The ones in focus aren't good of us and the good ones of us aren't in focus. But in the line up of all of them is rather entertaining. 

Bargain Hunters

One thing I have passed on to Karl is my love to bargain shop. He now loves to cruise from clearance end cap to clearance end cap at Target. One time at the NEX (military version of Target) Karl came across a $300 point and shoot camera for $50. Now while we didn't really need this small digital camera, there one feature that he couldn't pass up, it is completely waterproof. 

We finally got to put it to use. Here are the best shoots we got last weekend. 

I can't wait to try it out again! Maybe I need to take a trip to Great Wolf Lodge just to see how well it works! ;)
