Like father, like son, like grandson.......

we never really know what our children our going to grow up to be until they get much much older. but, it's becoming quite apparent, everyday, that the older our son nathan gets, the more he loves tractors, combines, wagons, piggies, cows, skid loaders, ect... pretty much anything that daddy or papaw uses. nathan, as he gets older, is becoming easier to take on the farm, where he loves to learn sooooo much of the farming world. oh, by the way, i know this picture would have been MUCH cuter with "work clothes" on.....but he had JUST got out of bed!!!

so this nice HOT morning before olivia got on the bus, we had cement poured for our approach to our garage. i'm inside getting her ready, and my phone rings. my father-in-law is on the other end saying, "you might want to come out here....you'll want a picture of this....." nathan, walked right over, picked up a shovel, and just waited patiently, hoping for someone to tell him to use it! well, i don't think he really got to "help" on this project, but, we did end up with some rocks in our yard!!!!



this picture was "pre-cement"....daddy working on leveling the ground out, when nathan felt the need to find a spot on the skid loader to watch. he LOVES those skid loaders. and once again, he is definitely a "cole jr."......sorry, but only a few people will get that inside joke!

About Me

well....where do i begin?? i have never done a "blog" before, and don't know if this is even for me. but a few friends, and one very persistant sister-in-law(esther)really encouraged me to start some sort of "blog" or any place online, to share photos i have taken. so i thought, what the heck!? most everyone knows that photography has been a hobby of mine for a few years now. so with lots of practice, lots of failing, lots of reading and googling, i feel like little by little i'm getting a little better all the time. and part of the reason for getting better, is because of the famous gina..... whom EVERYONE loves and knows, she has been letting me pick her brain for tips and tricks. also, kris, who i met online after joining a photography forum, who happens to be an awesome wedding phogtographer, she has been a TON of help as well! since i have 3 children, my goal is to be able to truly capture, like a professional can capture, the pure innocence and fun of my children. (and i get it for free!) and, since i have lots of wonderful friends & family, i get to practice on them, too!
