Elephants...

The Fort Worth Zoo has two baby elephants both born fairly recently. I love elephants (not my favorite animal but love them none the less). They had both moms and babies on display when we went for our visit. Dad was in a different pen but wanted to be with the others. Poor guy was so lonely.

 BABIES!

 Baby ran away, didn't want to get dusted anymore by mama.

Dad. Poor guy.

Buddy's Birthday at the Zoo...

Had a wonderful time going over to the zoo with the whole family. Sure there was A LOT of whining and screaming but we made it through. And we only lost one and only once. It seemed like everyone had a favorite animal. Mine was the white tiger and the hawk eating a rat. Taylor could have stayed in the penguin building all day. James loved the crocodile and alligator. Kris enjoyed the jokes about some of the questionable behavior of some of the animals. Some are better left unsaid. Kris and Dad had a wonderful time. Cassie and I loved the ability to take photos of the kids and animals.

I did not use all of my photos as I have some reserved for a post this weekend.

 Looking for gorillas that aren't there. LOL

 Just chillin'

 He's just beautiful

 Happy birthday Buddy!

 He was letting everyone know he was there.

 I warned a few people not to walk underneath this guy and one girl didn't listen and got blood in her hair. Also there was fur falling like snow.

 Such a goober

 Not a happy camper

At This Moment...

So lately, I've been discouraged about my photography. I have had one paying customer and it's like pulling teeth to get friends to let you get photos done. Really the only ones willing are my kids and my niece and nephew. I am hoping when I move to Texas it will be better. Though these last few weeks have been hectic, these next few won't be any different really.

However I have been trying (really to no avail) to do photos here and there. I've either been to lazy, tired or the weather was bad!

I have spent time with family I hadn't seen in about 4 and 8 years. It was fun, though very long! I got a lot of clothes for Taylor and some for James from my sister, she is just awesome!

We went to the zoo and I saw my BFFs new daughter and nephew!

This last week I tried to help my in laws move out of their old place, but the kids were a nightmare, so Kris helped them out. They had one stressful week! This week and the next couple following I'm gonna attempt to not stress out about Christmas. I have all the stockings, plenty for my babies, decorations up and food planned. This weekend we have our church banquet. That should be good for some laughs. I will be bringing my camera for some special photos. 

This month I am gonna attempt to take my camera out at least twice a week just to keep my head up and get some more lovable shots of my beautiful babies. I am gonna also try and get some new ideas for this blog. Kinda like maybe "fantasy friday" or "music monday" or I choose a day of the week to share my likes, thoughts and/or new finds.
