Micro photography- by Tyler

I've discovered that I love taking pictures of nature close up. This was simply a bubble on a branch in our backyard.

Spencer had some fun Photoshop editing all the photos. (Just a tad)

This was just a small, rubber toy I found around the house!

 A lot of these I took at scout camp, taking the photography merit badge. It was awesome. Above is a cricket I found on a bench.

These pictures were taken right after it rained; my favorite time for photography.

This is our old BBQ grill's parts. 

And of course, our snake, Legs.

I hope you enjoyed these photos as much as I did taking them. I love the Micro setting!

Christmas- by Tyler

I was going through unfinished posts and I found this random draft of Christmas two years ago that was never published! so sit back and enjoy.

Christmas this year was a blast!!! We've been busy with no time to post anything lately, but we'll try to catch up.

We got a real Christmas tree this year for the first time in who knows how many years. I forgot how beautiful                they were!!! Everyone thought ours was fat, but I didn't, I thought it was just fluffy!    

Everyone got their Santa gift, which was left out by Santa, unwrapped. Here is Chloe's gift, she loved it. It was a barn with animals, and if you put one of the animals in it, the barn would make that animal's sound, and turn it into a song. 

Levi's toy was played with a lot, and it was so cool! He got a big medieval castle. It had an open up draw bridge, several knights, and the whole castle can quickly change to battle station.

     Brennan probably got the coolest robot we've ever had! (there's been a few) It does almost everything,                                                                           and Brennan loves it!                                                                

   Dallin got what he has wanted for a long time, a trumpet. He has been practicing once every year at the                                            annual art festival, where they have an instrument petting zoo.

  

I, Tyler, got a real bow with some real arrows. How cool is that!!!! I probably don't practice enough, but i'm getting good! I print out villains, and put them on my hard foam-like target of mine. In the picture i'm wearing a pare of Spock ears I got in my stocking.

Dallin- every day, after school

This post is all about what happens when I get home from school

when I'm done speeding back from school on my bike, I walk inside my house, and eat one of the treats that I, or my mom  sometimes make.

If there aren't any of these, I just grab one of the other snacks we have

Then we go on the swings in our backyard while we eat them.

I finish my home work (usually I

do all homework except for reading, which I like to do in the evening.

My mom always makes an amazing dinner, and the whole family gang  is able to be gathered up as we eat it.

I have a goal of reading 60 pages a night (or until the end of the book)

and I spend until usually 10:00 to complete it.

finally, I fall asleep after an exhausting day.

(if this was boring, please tell me in comments, because I just realized that there is a very large chance it was.)
