I finally captured some pics of her funny smile.

why are all the cute smile ones blurry?

I always love going to get hattie at grandmas after we have been working on the house all day. She always has a lot of fun, but is always happy to see us.

Today we had more recruits for the house we are hoping for a few more tomorrow and to at least get up this side and most of the back. It was way cold today so hopefully tomorrow is a little warmer. But at least there is no snow or rain for now :)

So I am not blogging any pictures today because my camera ate my pictures. I took like forty pictures and they are gone and I know they were on there because I looked through them on the camera. I am devastated because I got some really cute ones of hattie and her funny smile.

hattie  helped work on the house today.

she helped me fill nail holes with caulk, she built a tower out of bricks, and... she pointed to a puddle and said "water". Oh and threw lots of rocks, (she is looking for her next rock in this pic)

Hattie and I played outside today.

i just can't get enough :) I took more pictures of River.

Welcome to our money/time/energy sucker. :) Today we started putting up our siding. We are hoping that the snow stays away long enough to finish the siding and get the roof on. Thanks dad for all your help!

this was a assignment for my photo class. it is a day in the life of hattie....i took pictures all day long even when she pooped in the tub. :)

Today while making a crummy mess on the couch she stopped to have a look, she is ever so curious.

My sister Katie had her baby boy this afternoon.

Question....

Lately I have had a lot of problem with not being able to read words on webpages...(haha through no fault of my own.) They just look like mumbo jumbo, I have tried changing my settings on my browser but it still hasn't fixed the problem.

So...I got an assignment in class today to take and post a picture a day for the next two weeks on a blog. So here are todays glimpse into my life as a mother. And I have a mind full of questions...

I have a website now but it has no music, sad :( I want music but I am confused about copyright laws and I don't know what to do because I keep reading a lot of different stuff. So if anyone has and advice I would appreciate it. 

And I would like to know how Snowboard magazine makes their logo on the front of their magazine see through with like an outerglow/dropshadow if anyone knows how they do that, that would be good.

And I would really like to know the easiest way to turn my sketches into vectors. Illustrator drives me crazy!

One more thing...if you were going to buy a lens would you get a 70-200, 50 1.2 or 50 1.4 (huge price difference between the two 50's). And is it worth debt? I am just getting started and I am not bring enough money to cover expenses. I also want a new camera. Ridiculous...oh and for that mater a new computer as long as we are dreaming :)

Any advice would be great.

Thanks! Joslyn

Yeah, I finally got my computer back... I've put it through the ringer we are now on our third power supply :) So now I can post pictures.... Halloween was fun with Hattie she was a little shark and it was hilarious watching her walk around.

Hattie has been practicing her gymnastic skills at Braden's gym.
