Boys and photos...

Most of you know I blog... In fact over the last six months I'm actually now considering myself a "blogger" ;o) I've been working really hard on it over the last year and am seeing the fruits of my efforts... I won't ever get "rich" from my blog, but its great part time income and I would love for it to be my "job" that I can do from home! All that to say.... I've been working on taking better photos and working with my boys to model the various things I make.... THIS. HAS. BEEN. HARD! if you know the boys you know that they are loud and don't really sit still... so taking decent photos is a challenge ;o) Yesterday I was photographing for two upcoming posts and today I'm giving you a teaser because the boys may be crazy, and not always "blog-minded" but they sure are cute and I get some funny photos out of it... So here you go... some of these are edited for the blog and some a straight from the camera ;o) Enjoy the crazy... You can pretty much inset this audio track to every photo, "look this way, look at the camera, stand still, this isn't a video, Max smile, look here, stand up"

Grandma and Grandpa vist + a fire boat field trip

I haven't been so great at updating this blog, so I'm going to combine photos from a few things. After spending a week longer in Palau than we did, Grandma and Grandpa came to Hong Kong for 10 days. We had a blast for five of those days until grandma was chasing Jack in tag and ran into a pull up bar! 7 stitches  and a broken nose later.. grandma had to take it easy for a few days.. then she put on a hat and sunglasses and headed to Disney with the boys... what a recovery. We were thankful the Dr. here gave her the go ahead to continue her trip and surgery could wait until she got home mid-feb.

 

 And then today... Jacks class took a field trip to a retired fire boat down on the Hong Kong Harbor. it was a beautiful day and we spent the whole day outside. The gallery and boat was outside and the boys loved the exhibit.

 The outing finished with a picnic and playtime at a fun park...what a fun day!! Max was thrilled he was able to come along!

More Palau photos...

Here are a few more photos from Palau... We are heading out tonight.. will spend the day tomorrow in Guam {shopping!!!} then back to Hong Kong.. Enjoy!

 The boys got scooters from Grandma and Grandpa for Christmas and have been enjoying them at the hotel.

 We did a little off road adventure driving... of course Max took a nap..

 We also did an overnight camping and kayaking trip with our family and my brother Will..
