When I get my camera out my kids run screaming in the other direction. To them it's a fate worse than death, so I have to bribe them. I have a billion pictures of Cate simply because she doesn't object, yet. I guess I can see their point, since I'm always like "look at me and smile", "stand over there", "not there, over there", "don't smile like that", "smile like something is funny", "stop doing that", "put your hands down", "quit making that face", "do a little smile, not a giant smile", "don't squint", "ok now look over that way", "now hug your brother", "do you want to be here all day?!?", "just smile and hold still so we can be done". Sometimes it's painful, sometimes it's fun, but I know they are always up for going for a walk/adventure behind our house where I love to shoot. They are my favorite subjects, even if they are difficult. Hopefully someday they'll look back and like all the pictures. We always enjoy looking through my printed blog books and remembering all the things we did. Tomorrow they'll bigger, different and there will never be another today. I just want to freeze them and remember everything.
This right here is the reason I love Spokane. I never knew before how much I love seeing rolling hills in the distance. Out of every window in our house I can see for miles and miles. You can see the big open sky. I see deer and our little bunny rabbit friend almost everyday in our backyard. Everyday I stop and look and love what I see.
I was trying to make her smile so I asked her the funniest thing she could think of. She said "poop". Then I took this picture and we both laughed.
