New Camera

This is about as good as it gets trying to get the boys all in a shot. Plus you can tell how happy I am. This was about the tenth try. We've just gotten ourselves a new camera so Jason was testing it out. We decided to go ahead and buy this Canon Rebel from a guy off the boat for dirt cheap. You get alot of single guys just spending their money and then they sell their camera, laptops, kendals, etc... for really cheap to whoever will take them. It's an awesome thing for us. So anyways, it's been fun playing around with it. Next on the list, photo editing software. I was told about this website piknic.com which has been really fun to play around with, but I want more options. So I think it's time to just buy the software. If you've never done any photo editing I suggest taking a look at the website you can edit your pictures for free and see if you like it. On a side note this picture has not been edited so don't judge from this.

Our month in review

Christmas was so much fun this year. The kids were all so excited. They woke up at the crack of dawn and made us get up. you can tell from the lighting in the pictures how it's pretty dark still haha They spent the day testing out their new skateboards and Jason helped them learn how to play all their new games. I observed my men fondly from a distance and got to enjoy some alone time in the kitchen while I made my christmas meals. It was a great day for everyone. Also since Jason didn't have to work the week of Christmas we got to go exploring. We went to the beach and circled the whole island. It's such a beautiful place. We saw alot of things, from a dead boar strapped to the front of a jeep(that's something you don't see on the mainland) to a little boy learning to surf with his parents.
On Cameron's birthday he decided he wanted to go to the dinosaur exhibit at the museum. It was life-size dinosaurs that moved and made noises. Scared poor Eli to death. He ended up screaming like I've never seen a baby do before. Totally terrified. That made me feel bad, but Cameron and William thought it was the coolest thing ever. They also had a volcano building, where they simulate an erupting volcano. There was all kinds of volcano related activities for them there. As well as all of that they got to guide underwater diving cameras. Then we came home and had a volcano shaped cake and presents. It was so fun to see the boys so excited all day about everything they saw there. Cameron had a great birthday.

Hawaii

Well here are some of the newer pictures. Not too much is happening here. Jason's on stand-down for the holidays so we get to have him home alot. That actually means we're at the beach most of the time. Curiously enough with the time we've been spending on the beach no one is tan lol. Especially not me. We really love it here. There is still lots we haven't seen so it's exciting to have alot of adventures to look forward to. I'll post the christmas pictures soon...stay tuned.

Summer Fun in Cali

I'm back! Finally got the computer here and all's back to normal. what a crazy year it's been. Connecticut to California to Hawaii and Jason gone most of the time. It makes me tired just thinking about it. So this week I'll catch up on this since I've got the time....Jason's gone again. Anyway I hope you all enjoy the pictures :)
