mmmmm 40d! Definitely a lot different than the xti with a bigger learning curve if you ask me. Soooooooooooooo no used to that little wheel on the back. It seriously took me a good 15 minutes to figure out how to change the freaken' f-stop, even after reading the manual, it just wasn't clicking to me. I love the iso options...I went from 5 tiny jumps to TONS...its great great great. Anyway...3 random pics from yesterday with the kid who won't look at me anymore :(

Yay yay yay yay yay!

Hmmmmmmm lets see...

-I am selling my XTi...why?? I upgraded finally! Yay...40d should be here any day now...so the pictures below...are a few of my final with my original camera baby.

-Cameron had fifths disease last week after a notice at daycare went out stating that someone else had it. Leave it to our child to be the one to get everything that everyone else has.

-We thought Cameron was having a nasty case of prickly heat...after much research, turns out fifths disease rash (which is NOT contagious) can stay with him for WEEKS and shows up when in heat or under stress...poor guy looks funny.

-I'm very bored...summer TV is yucky and now we are stuck watching movies that we purchased that we really don't feel like watching haha. We are watching superman as we speak...just doesn't seem right...I really want to watch my regular shows. Good thing is Lost finale is on Thursday :)

Okay okay okay...just a few pictures of my baby...

Don't let him fool you...he's not sleeping :) But if you look closely, you can see his fifths disease rash :( poor dude.

of pictures that is..PCS (Photographers Child Syndrome)...meaning my child now refuses to look at the camera anymore...all the M&M's in the world won't work...refuses...flat out refuses...BUT I did however manage to get this one today after holding down the shutter button for what seemed like an eternity....the glance at me was just by chance really.

We had a big busy weekend. Cameron was just getting over this ear infection and all of the sudden, a rash appears on his arms, legs, and now face. Turns out he's got fifths disease which was going around in school. He's okay, just has a yuky rash that will go away 7-10 days.

Saturday morning Cameron and daddy went out and got a new backpack, sunglasses, and watch...we are totally cool now :)

We planted flowers in the garden.

We played drums with daddy on our new game :-)

Just being Cameron and silly.

Both of us...a lot!

Or just a simple good job comment below will do...

Today was a first...a BIG first. I...Sandra...MOWED the lawn for the first time in MY LIFE! Yes, that's right, I actually did some sort of yard work. The lawn was getting long, I knew Cameron would want to play outside, SO...I left work at 4pm, figured out how to start the monstrosity of a John Deere for about 10 mins (later discovering that I was low on gas DUH!) and mowed mowed mowed. Took me a few rounds around the yard to figure out how to maneuver the thing, but I did it...AND, I got my ONLY pair of sneakers DIRTY...check those puppies out!

We had a wonderful time...filled with cake, yummy spaghetti, lots of kiddo's screaming (ummm...in kiddo's, I mean Cameron), nice quiet naps, and lots of love all around.

Cameron insisted on having his own "mote" while sitting with pop-pop

We have a slight cake obsession in my family

You know whats amazing? The fact that Cameron LOVES to go really high on the swing...well...high in HIS standards...BUT...if you go and law down the ground and take a picture of him swinging...it looks SO much more higher :)

Oh...and apparently...Cameron has decided to get a little cold...when he went to bed tonight, he had a 100.5 fever...yes low, but for him, that's how all his nasty colds start. Lets just pray this was just a fluke...I can't stand anymore colds.

I probably get about 10 of these shots before I get one good one...he LOVES to stick his face toooo close to the camera :) Silly man.

Talk about feeling bad. Ger's best friend (aka as Cameron's godfather), Brian, gave Cameron a little tike's baby/toddler swing for Cameron's swing set...yes...we used it...2 times. We now INSIST on sitting in the big swing with no backing, no buckles, just holding on. I'd like to think that Mom mom has something to do with this since we did this at her house a few weeks back and had a blast...baby no more...big boy he is!

Oh...you like the pimp hat? Complements of the dollar store last year...we LOVE that hat...he wanted to go to dinner with it on today...thankfully I was about to change his mind.

If only I could get away with this look...
