He's no Naked Cowboy

Do you know the Naked Cowboy?
He's that guy who stands on Time Square in New York in his underwear singing with his guitar.

Ashton a few months ago tried his hand in singing in his underwear with his brother's guitar like the Naked Cowboy. Of course, Ashton is cutter.





Tell me what you think.. does he have a career as a singer?

Picture Day at Soccer

Marc offered my photographic services to Ashton's soccer team.
So last Saturday we all gathered early before a game to take pictures. All went well with just a few of the kids not getting into the photo shoot and one refusing to be photographed without his dad.

Here are few of the shots:





Ashton is having a blast playing soccer. He's a bit of a ball hog dominating the field to the point that the coach has thought of pulling him out of the games for a little to give the other players a chance to score. He decided not to. "You shouldn't be penalized for being good," he said at last weeks game. We're working with Ashton to give other teammates a chance with the ball.

You're all welcome to come Saturday to watch Ashton, Dalton and Austen play soccer in West Miramar. If you're interesting in seeing the boys play call Marc or I for times and location.

Many thanks to our older sons for helping out at picture day. Dalton stood in on the test shot and Austen held the flash during the photo shoot.

I also can't forget thanking Marc. He helped keep the kids organized and rounding each player up when it was there turn.

Love Ya

Wow



I was driving home from work last week and saw this incredible susnset that I had to photograph.

We get so wrapped up with our daily running around, kids, relationships, extra that we don't always appreciate what's right in front of us.

Look, No Training Wheels


Marc has been working hard to teach Ashton how to ride a bike without training wheels. Everyday after school, Ashton and Marc have been working together and it's paid off.





Now all Ashton wants to do everyday is ride his bike. So on Sunday, Marc and I got Ashton a new and bigger bike. He loved riding it around CB Smith Park. He fell several times, but thankfully no broken bones.

The 4am Project



What is the 4am Project?About

Hi. My name’s Karen Strunks, and my curiosity about 4am began about a year ago.

I live in Birmingham - the UK’s second largest city - and after a night out a while back, I was driving from one side of the city to the other. It was around 4am and I was really struck by the cityscape. Streets and roads normally teeming with people and traffic were deserted. The city was asleep and it felt like I had it all to myself. I liked it.

So late last year, I went out to take my first pictures at 4am in Birmingham. I’ve made some of them available on my blog. I’ve been asking readers of my blog for their suggestions of places they’d like to see at 4am. They decide where to go, and I take the photos, so it’s become a collaboration.

When I started to think about how the idea could be extended, the 4amproject was born.

I’d like to involve you in this project. What will YOU be doing at 4am on 4th of April?

Put the date in your diary, set your alarm, and take a picture of your world at 4am. It can be of anything at all. A self portrait, the room you’re in, the view from your window. Perhaps you want to venture out a bit further, maybe you’ll be travelling, or at work - maybe you’re a night owl…

I’m going to get some friends together and go out and have a 4am party. Why not do the same? Get some of your friends and family involved too. Or simply set the alarm, take a picture, and go back to the land of nod.

Whatever you’re doing, it’d be great if you could get involved and play a part in building up a big picture of the world at 4am.
