Before The Sun Goes Away... I got it done {UPDATED}

So this morning I took the kids to the tree right outside of our apartment and took the LOVE project photos. I decided not to try to go out away to a wooded park or anything because my luck it would rain...lol So here they are with Mr A and Miss O: {Click them to see them bigger}

Now to just send them to be printed and put them in the frame then I will post the frame photo of the finished product!

So here is the final product in the frame!!:

 

Post 300 and The Project

So Since the rain prevented me from accomplishing my photography project today I decided to just try against the wall in the house just as a test shot. Yea I really dont like the feel to them but I will show you my idea anyway... Tomorrow is suppose to be sunny so outside we will do to try again!

Once I get the Look I am going for it will be framed and given as gifts to the grandmothers for Mothers day. Of course all 3 of my kids will be in the photos instead of just the two but they are my test subjects for now :) haha

So the Idea is to spell out the word LOVE, One kid with each letter. This works perfectly for One kid households or Two kid households but what about three kid households? Well I was thinking that Each kid could hold the first 3 letters then all three of them could be with the last letter. So Miss C would hold L Miss O would hold O and Mr A would hold V then I some how would put them all around E. Idk that will be for the next time Miss C is here.

Anyway Here are Miss O's test shoots against the wall this afternoon..... I made a couple different colored Borders to represent the varias Mats you can get for frames.

as you can see I am not sold on the indoor shots probably because the lighting in my house sucks and I want to use natural outdoor lights! So Alittle later today since its past Midnight I will take them outside to a good spot and try again! What do you think?

Oh Baby Fever... I can not cure you!

So yesterday when we were eating ice cream at the mall with Miss O and Mr A I looked at Mr Deputy and said after seeing 5 newborns; I have major baby fever and it really sucks that I cant cure it.

Of course he just laughed; I told him arent you glad your safe and he said YES I am :( { he was totally joking by still} even though just the other day he mentioned how nice it would be to have another little one in the house but he gets over it quickly as soon as our monsters I mean children start acting up.

I however really was not done having children but my body obviously was. So its been a hard road emotionally especially with friends getting pregnant and having more babies. November 7th 2008 I had to have a Partial Hysterectomy. It wasnt elective it was NEEDED. I had been having soo many womanly issues since the birth of my son and every other treatable way wasnt working.

So being that I wanted to be around for my children I do have I scheduled the surgery. The actual surgery and recovery wasnt bad at all. They did it without cutting me open {figure it out} they took my uterus and cervix and left my ovaries and tubes so it didnt send me into menopause early. The good part is not needing to go to the GYN and have cervical exams SCORE.

But emotionally its tough; most of the time I am ok until i start seeing newborns or I hold one thinking I will never experience this again. Well atleast until I have grandchildren which will not and better not be for a VERY long time considering the ages of my children...lol

Today I was going to try to accomplish my project I started working on yesterday but its raining so I cant take the kids outside to take the photographs I need. Stupid weather. So its just a tad postponed for now :) Instead I decided to give my blog a make-over. I added a Link to the Site Navigation on the left for Blog Roll. I just spent the last HOUR adding everyone. So if I dont have your blog under the right space or I forgot to add you completely PLEASE let me know!!!!!! just email me.

Her Very FIRST AWARD!

Little Miss O got her first award at school today!!!! I couldnt be more happy; and neither could she as she walked out the door after class. She was trying to open her backpack so fast to show me!

She said LOOK mommy; I got a PRETTY waward {award} and pulled it out! She said I get to go to Pizza and play. On the bottom of the award is a certificate to enjoy a buffet meal at John's Incredible Pizza and to enjoy and play some games and go on some rides!

So what did she get the award for? Reading 20 books for the Month of January. Her teacher was so proud! So as a imediate reward we went to the mall and had ice cream; then to target for a toy! I also bought her a CUTE CUTE CUTE Jean Jacket with some pants and a couple shirts. Once i start shopping for her i just cant stop....LOL

Then we went for dinner at Hometown Buffet and enjoyed soup salad and some dessert! now we are home relaxing and i am preparing for my project which i will be attempting tomorrow; if its sucessful i will post about it!

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LITTLE MISS O MOMMY & DADDY ARE SOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!

Ahhh... Almost Preschool Time

Right now Mr Deputy is on his way with Mr A to the Doctors; I decided that since *I* normally do everything {all Dr, Dentist, etc appts} that Mr Deputy was doing it today. Why you ask? Because its simple today is the Doctors appt for preschool. While that might not be so bad our state preschool program requires several tests to be done. I can handle the vision and hearing tests; but i can not handle when my babies have to have blood drawn or shots.

So Mr Deputy is handling it this morning while i take Miss O to school and enjoy a little quiet time. That also means I get to be the comforting parent when they get home rather than the parent he stares at wondering why did you let them do this to me. I am so emotional when it comes to my babies. When Miss C was little we were traveling to see my brother and on the way home she got extremely sick in the car all of a sudden. Her fever spiked up and she started throwing up.

We were so far away from her regular Doctor that we had to go to some random ER. Well they did alot of tests on her and i couldnt stand to hear her cry so i literally walked out of the room bawling and left my mom to be there with her. Lets put it this way My babies are hurting and cry MOMMY CRIES.

Its the same at home each of my children have certain crys that will just make me bawl my eyes out. Mr deputy has to watch diciplining them sometimes because if that cry comes out i just start crying. Which will usually make Miss O cry if i cry; its all a weird cycle.

So not having to deal with this Dr appt is good for me. I dont want to be there by myself and start crying when they poke my little boy. I'd rather be the one to cuddle him when he comes home and know that he is alright. Plus its good for daddy to handle some things. :)

So this is the last step of completing the paperwork for Mr A to go to preschool. Well I still need to go to the county recorders and get his Birth Certificate. { I know I am bad I havent gotten it and he is 3...lol} In other news with Mr A; He has been officially potty trained for 2 months now. It feels soo good to NOT be buying diapers anymore!!!!! Such a expense and its no longer in our budget!

He is growing up :sniffle: My last baby!

Ancestry.. The Key to the Past

So lately Mr Deputy's favorite pass time is going to Ancestry.com and doing research on his family tree. He got a bug up his butt and wanted a family tree done for the kids. Well the other night I asked him to see what he could find on my Grandfather on my dad's side so we started putting all my family names in there. We havent gotten far on my dads side but now my grandfather on my moms side we have traced all the way back to 1651 in Norway and more information is still rolling in. I sat for 2 hours the other night adding people to our family tree from my moms side.

I am stuck though when it comes to her mom since she was adopted and adoptions back then are sealed so i cant get any farther unless i want to use her adopted moms information. So now i am sitting here thinking how for my mom and my kids i can suceed at getting my grandmothers birth parents information so i can trace that lineage.

As of right now there are almost 1000 people on our family tree, some from my husbands family, his mom, his dad, his moms 2nd husband and their lineage, my mom, my dad etc. This could go on forever as we add all the spouses etc. One thing is for sure that our children will have a good solid tree to look at as adults that will allow them to see where they came from.

Training Days...Belch

OH how I hate Training Days; they always fall on his days off and they always require me to rush 2 kids out the door to get one to school on time. Luckily its only once a month but its the fact that its NEVER the same day that throws me off guard.

Im sitting here silently giggling at Mr A; he is trying to take his soxs off by using his feet and stepping on the edge and pulling his foot...lol  Its really frustrating him and i giggle which makes him more mad...oh the joys of being a parent.

Today is soo busy this afternoon; Miss O has her hearing test so when we got home from taking her to school i put my chicken in the Teriyaki Marinade to sit until I get home later. This is going to end up being a post of randoms...so yea

Having that time off where i didnt blog has really effected my writing; Im finding it hard to get back into the swing of writing. I dont want to loose this outlet because writing is like therapy to me. Endless amount of times i have written out a blog while mad etc and gotten to get it off my chest and just delete it.

I have had emails asking why i made my blog center around Mr Deputy when I clearly dont write about Police Wife stuff each day; Well its simple Because we are the Family behind HIS badge; He wears a badge we are his family. Hello?

Just because I am A PW doesnt mean i have PW stuff to blog each and everyday. Maybe if i was one of those pro-active wives with his dept i would post more about the life; but i am not; Im here in the side lines; sure i could share a huge amount of stories that comes from Mr Deputy while on duty but I choose to write about what i love; My kids; my life; photography; reading etc.

So eh yea now everyone knows.

A Day off School to play Catch up...

So Miss O is taking today off of school to play catch up. Why? you ask.. Well in the nearly 3 weeks i was sick and dying in bed; seems daddy didnt do ANY of her homework so i was informed that Miss O had 2 weeks of past due homework and then this weeks to do. So Today I kept her home from school so we can work on getting it all done since its all due Thursday. This is VERY frustrating for Miss O. Homework is not a good part of the day so to have to get 3 weeks of it done in 2 days is going to drive both her and I nuts.

So About 11am we sat down and started to tackle the task of all this homework. It took us alittle over a hour to get the first weeks done.

She was super happy to be doing her homework for the first packet. After lunch we moved on to the second packet and now frustration has left us taking a break from it all.

School is really tough on my little girl; she is bright and understands what she is learning she just doesnt have the language to communicate that she understands. Which leaves her extremely frustrated. She is also really hard on herself when she doesnt write it out perfectly. { something i found that the school is pushing is NEAT writing} They are Kindergarteners from crying out loud how are they suppose to have perfect penmanship?

So later this afternoon we will finish up her second packet and work on this weeks homework. I have to get it all finished tonight because tomorrow is Wednesday and after school we have to drive 45 minutes from our new home to her Doctors to have her Hearing test redone. This is all apart of her Testing. She failed her school hearing test so now its back to the Doctors for a more in depth test.

So with having to do that; that leaves us getting home around 6-6:30pm and by that time its Dinner, Baths, alittle Tv and Bed for the next day. So today is the best day to just push through and get it done to ensure she turns it all in and she is caught up and not behind homework wise.

I dont remember if i told you all that her teacher feels its in her best interest to repeat Kindergarten next year instead of throwing her into the 1st grade. I agree she is not ready to start 1st grade so we have another year of kindergarten to look forward too. Now i am going to be making the decision though on if i want her to be in reg public school or a different type of school. I have been looking into the Monestorri School in this area. I am begining to really think this might be a better fit but first i have to have them finish her testing and see if the Monestorri school can even accomidate her needs.

What i know she really needs is to just be homeschooled with one on one attention but I am not confident in teaching her myself. I feel like i would mess her up even more. Especially with the fact that she need special attention. I cant provide her with the skills that the Speech teacher etc can.

I havent had that training. We will see though if we make the move to Monestorri Schooling or stay where we are or if the testing qualifies her to be in the special school with children like her.

Its all a hurry up and wait situation.. So we are waiting.

I do know that in the end I will end up doing whatever I feel is in Miss O's best interest. Because her education is all that matters to me.


So Thanks to Daddy we play catch up today...... See what happens when MOM gets sick. The whole house crumbles and Has to wait to be fixed...LOL

I really need to get it done....

I really REALLY REALLY need to kick my ass into gear and start getting more of this weight off. Im down to 202.2lbs from 218lbs. Of course most of this 16lbs weight loss is because I was so sick. I seriously think most of my aches and pains from being diagnosed with Costrocondritis is coming from being over weight.

After my girls were born it seems like the pounds just melted away. {of course i was WAY more active then} as I didnt have access to a computer and the internet. So many days I think of we should go do this or that and i end up not doing it and sitting here on the computer. Dont get me wrong i am taking steps to better my health. I have changed my diet for the most part. Cut out soda 99% of the time; I totally lack exercise because i just cant seem to force myself to do it by my self i really need a workout buddy.

I emailed my Dr yesterday asking about the possiblility of using a Rx as a weight loss aid to jump start my body and get me going. She emailed me back that i have to call the weight loss center kiaser has and enroll in a 8 week class. So i will be doing that here within the next couple of days.

I am just so miserable; i HATE the mirrors in the house they are hard to avoid especially the one when you enter the front door ugh. BUT I will do this. Hopefully I will be well below 200lbs by this summer. I AM really hoping.

Waiting For Justice

So I thought I had blogged about the events that happened on Fathers Day 2008 but I am guessing that either A) I never did or B) I did and it didnt make it over when i merged from my wordpress to blogger site.

Because the safety of my husband and his dept is most important to me I will not post the links to the news stories on the incident because they would give his dept name etc and you never know who is out there looking at blogs on the internet with the intent to do harm.

On June 15th 2008 My husbands team partner was shot and killed in the line of duty. My husband was 15 minutes away from his partner. That 15 minutes is what saved his life. Had they made the choice to stay together that night instead of splitting apart their section of the county my life could be VERY different right now. My Husband has ALOT of guilt and remorse about that night especially not being with him.

Anyway This Deputy's killer sits in Jail waiting for his trial. I cant help but to sit here and wonder Why is it taking SO long? This June will be 2 years since it happened. I just really want his trial to be over and for him to be convicted and for the Deputies on My husbands team that was there that night; the ones that watched their partner/friend die because of this worthless POS to feel a sense of closure.

I feel like its lingering around them all. Well I am sure its lingering around the whole department but Their shift especially has been effected by this more so then the people that came on after the fact. Going to his funeral was a low point for me. I had mixed emotions sitting there with my husband and his fellow deputies listening the the Sheriff talk about this deputy; I was so saddened for his children that would grow up without their dad; i was angry at myself for thanking god that it wasnt my husband.

The days and months that followed were fogged; My husband took a considerable amount of time off of work {about a month} and when he went back i could no longer sleep at night; I was a worried mess. the only thing that got me through was having Police Wife support groups online. A place where i could sit and read all night until he got home.

In time things went back to normal; things got easier; the one year mark was hard but everyone made it through. Still though Its never really through until this POS is brought to justice for what he did. I wish i could share the details with you all with links etc but like i said Ever since this incident that could have changed my life forever I am very cautious about my husbands department being named etc.

Anyway I was just thinking about this POS trial and when it will start.. if it will ever start... I pray it starts soon so we can call feel justice being served.

Its Been 10 years!

Wow I cant believe its been 10 years since my first baby was born. Time really is flying by way too fast. She has gone from this itty bitty baby to a tween basically. Its hard to believe that its been 10 years. So here is the Story on Little Miss C:

Miss C was born on Jan 24th 2000 @ 4:59 am. She weighed 7 pounds even and was 21.5 inches long.

I had a very short and uneventful labor 7 hours total from start to finish.

Miss was was 2 weeks late and came in the early morning hours just before i was scheduled to go in and be induced. My mom and good friend at the time Brian were there for her birth.

It was the single most frightening thing I have ever done. I didnt know what to expect.  That was the part that scared me.
Miss C was perfect. She didnt hardly cry. She actually came out looking at the world and thats how she has been ever since. Labor was easy; recovery was great, nursing went well. I couldnt ask for anything more: So here are some photos of her along her first year :)

Coming home from the hospital!

The Hospital Photo. Her Uncle calls her the Alien Baby :)

3 weeks old giving her first smile

Enjoying a sunny day outside with mommy

This is how she always slept as a baby.. funny thing is this is how she sleeps now for the most part. She never liked blankets

Last baby pic.. This is her relaxing on the bed. Her favorite shows to watch were B-witched and I love Lucy...lol

So now as we celebrate her 10th birthday its been fun to look back and see just how  much she has grown into a young lady :)

So Happy 10th Birthday Miss C!!!! YOU ROCK

Miss C's 10th Birthday

So Today We had Miss C's 10th Birthday at Sunsplash Golfland. They had Pizza and Cake and then played Mini Golf. The kids that stayed up until alittle while ago also went on a Go-cart ride. I had to drive Miss C since she was 1cm too short and they just wouldnt let her pass through... All in All she had a great birthday so here is some photos from today :

The Jonas Brothers Cake :)

Opening Gifts

more gifts

two of  Miss C's Friends

More Guests... and thats where the photos stop. Well I took Cell pics of the little kids playng mini-golf. We split the big and little kids up and my mom took the big kids and then the rest of us took the littles.

All in all it was a good long exhausting day!


HAPPY BIRTHDAY MISS C- well tomorrow haha

Music Calms the Soul

I love listening to music. It shapes my day in the mornings and it helps me relax as i laydown to sleep. I am a huge fan on Eminem. I know What you are all thinking but seriously.. THIS SONG.. Listen to it. Yes there is Cussing but this is the BEST song he has ever done:



He has a BEAUTIFUL message in it. I love it. I just thought i would share this song with you. Give it a chance. Oh and its such a BAD copy... Youtube what do you expect.....

Jello Sounds Good

So Mr Deputy has been plagued with the exact sickness that I have had these past 3 weeks. So he is down for the count. I am however on the mend. Thank Goodness for that! I literally thought I was going to die!!! Its been a slow process with recovery but I am making a effort each day to get up and do something.

Mostly it has been to just take Miss O to school and come home. Walking up the hill to her class in this cold stormy weather is not helping the Bronchitis. I have asthma as well and it all just makes it hard. By the time i get to her class i have to stop and puff on my inhaler. by the time I am back in the car i am taking another puff. Repeat 4 times a day taking her to and from school.

But its important that she is there each and every day no matter how much i beg and plead with Mr Deputy to either keep her home or take her himself because the mornings suck. Wake up and hack up a lung or two before i can do anything else. Time consuming and annoying as hell. Oh well one day it will stop. Im making a visit to the Dr again for a recheck. Every site ive been on says if Bronchitis hasnt gone away after 7-10 days { I am currently on day 18} that its acute and needs antibiotics.

This weekend is Miss C's 10th birthday tomorrow i have to go get her cake in and pick up her goody bag stuff. Not looking forward to another day out in the stormy nasty weather mother nature has brought. But oh well cant have her party without a cake :)

I cant sleep so I am sitting here eating some Strawberry Jello {YUMMMMMM} I really only like to eat it when i am SICK so this is perfect timing :) haha. Anyway I will stop boring you with my nonsense. Just wait until Sunday when my sappy My baby is 10 post comes...LOL :):):):)

Wow... Um.. Hi! :)

So Here I am; able to sit up and bring some thoughts together in a coherent manner...lol

Its been a while; Ive been sick; well sick seems to be the understatement of the year. I felt like i was dying.Up until lastnight that is when i alittle bit of relief came my way. So i was sick for 2 weeks before even going to the Dr. They took a chest xray to rule out Pnuemonia; and decided that i had/have Bronchitis. If this was a mild case of bronchitis I would hate to think of how i would be if i had a severe case of it.

Im not sure if thats what i had or if i might have had the flu along with it as well. Thats the only reason i could explain the vomitting and lack of hydration. I told myself on Sat if i wasnt any better by tomorrow night i was going to be making another Drs appt and going back in. Luckily enough about 2am lastnight i started getting some relief in the hacking up the lungs dept.

Ive been able to go 2 days with out the Robitussin with Codeine the Dr gave me. I am still on 2 different types of inhalers though. I have my Albuterol for fast acting and she gave me one that i take twice a day for long term help. Obviously its helping. Yesterday i was able to actually eat something small and keep it down. I have been trying to catch up on my liquid intake by drinking anything and everything i have on hand.

Mr Deputy is now getting sick though. Hopefully he wont get as bad as I. This week is going to be a catch up week which means i most likely wont blog really. I have to get my house deep cleaned and disinfected and get the germs out; I have to catch Miss O up on school stuff that thankfully her teacher is giving us more time to get done since i have been ill. I have Miss C's birthday party this coming Sat that i have to finish getting ready for. I havent even ordered her Cake or done her goody bags; luckily enough i just have to make sure everyone is there at the place and they will do the rest :) Of course now the fear of her party being a dissapointment with these storms this week. We are suppose to Mini Golf; if its raining they turn the party into a arcade party ugh. anyway; I am about done. I have to bath my little ones and get them in bed for school tomorrow.

I have to also check on Mr Deputy and see how he is doing at work since he is feeling like crap. So There is our family update. Soon i will be back into blogging; back into playing with the camera and having fun :)


Birthday-Countdowns

The Plague

Often enough they are driving me nuts. Seriously driving me nuts.. They fight over anything and everything including who is sitting next to mommy; do they fight over daddy? NOPE its always mommy. But just as often that they are fighting i get to see them playing well together.

You can definately tell that they are brother and sister; But they are all each other has. We really dont have alot of "friends" for the kids; no one really comes over or we going over to some one elses. Miss O has her friends at school but its just that AT SCHOOL. Mr A really hates when she is at school because there is no one for him to torement.

They are my sweet children though; especially during this past week that I have been plagued with the Flu. Miss O has been nothing but attentive with mommy making sure that i am ok every time i cough. Mr A was right there with me at the bowl while the pukfest was going on rubbing my back telling me its ok mommy its OK.

Im still sick; I dont think i am ever going to get all this crap out of my chest. Im coughing so hard Im giving myself a headache all the time. Ive been able to rest all this week with Mr Deputy being off. But today I am really having to force myself up and at em' since he has to go back to work. Although my house is completely destroyed. But thats the price i pay for being sick.

Hopefully I will be better and not have a fever tonight. Im really taking it easy relaxing on the couch and letting the munchkins play;speaking of which i should do lunch since its 2pm. I have to get Miss O ready for school tomorrow. She missed most of the week last week since Mr Deputy got called to courts and I was WAY too sick to sit up let alone drive her safely to school.

I am determined to kick this plague in the arse and get better I have to My oldest Miss C is turning 10 in 2 weeks i have to get her party stuff done and taken care of...

Ok so this post was a bunch of rambeling nonsense...lol sorry First time I have been coherent in a while and yet my thoughts are still all jumbled.

Ive Been so Sick....

It all started Tuesday night. My little cold turned into some major chest congestion with a side of migraine. Seriously as if the migraines werent enough. Anyway, so i have been laid up in bed sleeping it all off which isnt really working. Been taking soo much medication i would fail a drug test right now...LOL

So thats where i am right now. Once i feel totally better i will get back to blogging :)

Ok My Last Post for Today...Promise

So I just got the B&Ws from this morning... So i thought i would post em' Enjoy:

Ok Now for the Boy.. Mr A.. my subject that wouldnt sit still but i still managed to get some shots:

So There you have it.. My first Roll of Black and White onn teh Yashica! I might do some driving over the weekend and see what i can come up with :)

Post 2 of 3 today...lol

So I am totally in love with this Yashica Camera. Its film so i dont get the instant gratification like i do with my Canon. but My photos are coming out better and I have soo much more control.. I thought i would share a couple from my 3rd roll i got back.. Later this after noon my first set of B&Ws will be back and then i will post some of those as well...

if you wondering why this last one looks so faded its because i didnt attach the flash at first. so its faded and grainy but i still love it. and the B&W one was Computer edited BW since i didnt like the look of the color version.

Updates on Miss O

Before Miss O went on winter break her school nurse informed me that she had given her a hearing test which she failed. She said that she couldnt hear at all at 25 decipals and below, barely heard at 35 decipals and was fine at 45 decipals and above. I guess the lower your number the better your hearing. She said that she cant technically give me a referal to have her retested at the Doctors office until they test her again sometime this month but because of all the evaluations she is going through for her comprehension that i might want to take her on my own.

Im really baffled though since in Oct she had a hearing test done and the Doctor told me she was fine. So now we have to schedule another appt for her to be seen and having yet another hearing test done. Poor Miss O, i know she doesnt understand why all this is happening. I really hope that this gets her the help she needs.

I have been working with her more at home with her sounds and let me tell you that she is obviously a visual learner because we make certain hand gestures when making each sound and she has them down now. Its fantastic. I am going to have to take a video of her doing it at some point.

We made Colored Macaroni { a suggestion by her teacher} to help with her counting, sorting, patterns and will begin working on that this week. I wanted her to enjoy her winter break too and not be working all the time. I dont want to push her too hard and end up hating the learning process so i try to incorperate into daily life. Making EVERYthing we do a learning experience.

Ive noticed she is really into cooking too. So i am going to try to come up with some ways to help her comprehension through cooking. Im slowly getting out of the this is my fault phase and getting into the this is NO ONES fault and lets just do this and get her caught up so she can have a good education and not feel like something is wrong with her.

I love her to death, and i see progress with her already even when its just a small small amount. It shows me that she does have a desire to learn and that we are slowly getting things right and one day we will find the right key to unlocking her knowledge and allowing her to communicate and comprehend effectively!

Browsing Photography Groups... I found this link

A Polaroid a Day for 18 years... Well actually I found this link in the group first First Link and then it took me to the actual website of the photos. I just spent the last hour looking at every single photo this man took. By The end I was sobbing; I was imagining How many more photos he would have taken if he hadnt of died of Cancer.

Most of the time when links come up in groups I am in I tend to just pass them by.. I am glad i didnt this time. It was a fantastic way to blow a hour :)

Playing with the Yashica Fx3

These are the scans from the first 2 rolls of film. I obviously have to work on this focus stuff with a 35mm :) but these are the best ones

So These are the best of the two rolls.....lol I need more practice. I guess that happens when you are use to digital film :) I ma going to pick up some B&W film to practice with some more.. because processing BW is cheaper than film :) but we had fun today and thats what matters!
