the rip stik

We joke at our house that before we purchase anything with wheels, we verify our health insurance coverage. Ty is the clumsy kind, but he comes by it naturally, I’m about as clumsy as they come. He got a Rip Stik for Christmas and while it’s uber cool, it makes his Momma very nervous. He does great on it though. If you don’t know what a Rip Stik is, it’s like a skateboard but it has one front wheel and one back wheel but the front and back of the board are connected by rubber. You have to rotate your weight to ride it correctly. I’ll go ahead and divulge that Jason busts his butt on it on a pretty […]

I wanted to break out my macro lens (that I never use because I have a hate/hate relationship with my tripod) and try it on a captive subject. I see people use the 100 mm 2.8 Macro for baby shots all the time and was hoping to practice a little bit before our baby comes. Plus, Brick and Taryn could play! Total bonus when they showed up with Kolache’s! Yumm-o!! A few from our play date yesterday….I have such a sweet spot for her. She’s just precious. I caught this one in between her attempts to either eat the fuzzy blanket […]
