nikon

to answer the question I have been getting lots...I use the Nikon d40. I love it! I have some really cool lenses with stabilizers . I love to take pics and this makes the hobby much easier. I also like the canon rebel but the nikon buttons are easier and much more user friendly

Trip to Cali...Randoms

We had a fun filled week in Cali and some friends came down to hang out too. We did the beach 5 days out of 6 and we had a funnnnnnnnn time. We love to go down and see grandma & grandpa hoopes. My kids love to dig and dig and dig in the sand. They had a good time. We camped at the beach in Grampy's new RV. Went to Seaport Village, La jolla Coves, seal beach and chilled at Oceanside beach, we could have stayed there forever... We got to see nieces and nephews, especially the newest addition 3 weeks old! Uncle david always steals he babies.

Connor and His buddies A on the left & A on the right. HA-HA

Grandma & grandpa visited and I just love this. This will be a fun memory for them down the road. This is the reason that I hate... Loathe studio photo shots because they just dont capture the REAL shot you are looking for

I am not a fan of guns. That is an understatement. Anyhow, I do enjoy shooting them up in the desert by our house. These are fun pictures for my cute children.
