Trying to get the perfect shot

For the past few months, I've been trying to get a cute picture of Camden in his Raiders shirt to give to my brother, Nathaniel (a.k.a Uncle Lou)-the world's greatest Raiders fan. Camden is quickly outgrowing this shirt (his little belly did look very round in it!) so yesterday was my last chance to take the picture. This is what I got...

This is why he's my favorite b0y!

Our love of Play-Doh

The Kasparek kiddos LOVE their Play-Doh. I would say it's a once every few weeks project for us, but boy does it keep them busy! This afternoon, I just sat back and tried to capture their hard work on camera.

Camden had to get in a few CHEESE poses at first. This picture truly captures Camden. It's the look he has when he's checkin' things out...
She's biting the lower lip-must be concentrating hard on something!

Working together in perfect harmony-a mother's dream! ;)

I have to stay at an arm's length when Camden's perched on this stool, but boy does he look cute (and so grown up)!

Here's to the three day weekend!

Three day weekends are the best! That extra day to kick back and relax is just what we all need every few months. (Yes I know that I had a 2 week break over the holidays, but getting back into the swing of school along with Emma's birthday extravaganza wore me out!)

We had GORGEOUS weather and enjoyed a hike along the nearby Clear Creek Trail with the Warthens on Sunday afternoon. Emma's chasing Claire on her bike

(Why isn't Emma on her bike? Long story...)
My handsome boys!

Claire and Emma on the look out for some cows...

Here come the guys (and Alison)!

Eugene and I are ready to roll!

Later on that evening we had a little movie night.

A new job for Emma????

Helping Chris shave his head.

Camden helps with the styling.

Having fun with Emma's new camera

We all need a camera that can do this!

New photographer in the family

Emma got a fabulous new VTech Kidizoom Camera for her birthday. This afternoon I went through the 385 pictures she's taken in the last week and thought I'd share a bit of Emma's world...

I can take a picture of my feet!

Here's an exciting thing to take a picture of-the dryer!

Off to church-here's the front of our car!



Here is Daddy driving down the road!
Say cheese Camden!

Joy...

Who couldn't love an ice cream covered face......or a fresh-from-my-nap smile on a sunny afternoon?

The birthday fun continues...

THE highlight of Emma's birthday...her very own Hannah Montana microphone! Here she is jammin' out! Round 2 of opening presents...on the webcam with Babi & Pops, then Nana & Grandpa. Even if they weren't here in person, we were thrilled they got to join in on the fun!
Here Emma, I can help.,,

What every birthday girl needs after her birthday bath-a pink feather boa!
