Memorial Day Weekend 2011
We had some fun over the holiday weekend. Rustyn had Grandpa fix his bike so he could reach the handle bars, but we still need to tape some blocks on to the pedals so he can really ride it. Amanda’s MTC companion Char and her husband Brian came to visit so Rustyn and his new friend Kai watched shows, rode the fourwheeler, and played at the park with Cordell. Alex even made a new friend too. On Monday we went to Cassey’s graduation party and visited Gwen. Rustyn pushed Mylea around in Gwen’s chair most of the time.
Another good week for Pictures
Amanda had to drive to Idaho and back last week so I had a few days with the kids alone. We had some fun, and took a lot of pictures that week so I posted a few of my favorites. All of these photos were taken with my iPhone and only the sunrise and the black and white pinhole picture are modified at all. The first one is Rustyn playing at the park. I think this may be my favorite picture I’ve ever taken. The second was driving out the ranch at sunrise to pick up a trailer. I changed the coloring with Camera+ to bring out the intensity of the shot. The third was after a family picture right before Mom left for Idaho. Rustyn asked me if he could “drive” the camera so I lowered the tripod, and he showed me how to do it. The effect/color correcting was done with Camera+ as well. The last was out at the ranch after Rustyn got done riding horses and we were feeding all the animals. That goat’s name is Tangled because it is much hairier than it’s brothers and sisters. While we really missed mom it was a fun couple days. I was sure glad when she was home though.

8 – A words with friends game I was playing where i only had vowels.. how awesome is that?
9 – 10 – I found these at the rodeo yard sale for my mom. Rustyn riding Cordell’s scooter around the yard sale.
11 – Pretty much the coolest trip to the dump ever where the employee told me I didn’t park in the right area. I was supposed to park at seven, but apparently I had parked closer to the 8 spot that didn’t have a sign. He came out and set me straight for sure.
12 – 16 – SJ Prom 2011.
Rustyn plays at the Primary School playground
