My little goof balls

Riley is my youngest goofy kid. He really enjoyed crawling around with this t-ball bat trying to eat it. I think he thought it was a giant turkey leg!! I got him to stand up for this fun shot.


Maybe it's just the new camera that he likes, but Ryan really likes me to take his picture now. He smiled for this one while enjoying some yummy strawberries.


My mom changed Riley on laundry day so he ended up in one of my nieces outfits. I couldn't resist adding the flower for a funny picture. Catching him yawning was the icing on the cake!


I think Jr has a future as a model. He was saying, "Cheese! Cheese!", with his hands on his hips.


If you want a good laugh, just ask Jr what a dinosaur says. You'll get a big roar complete with hands and a great facial expression. The Nikon D90 takes such quick pictures that I was able to capture the moment.

How We Met

I have been the proud owner of a Nikon D90 since Monday May 11th. I finally got over the worries that I would be wasting my money. I figure that if I'm so dense that I can't figure out how to use it to it's full potential I can always sell it! And I still have my point-and-shoot Sony Cybershot. I've been searching online everywhere to find the best deal. A search on Ebay revealed some awesome steals. You know the saying "If it's too good to be true it probably is"? Well, that is most definitely true. The majority of the camera shops selling these great Nikon packages aren't even authorized dealers. They're selling grey market products. I didn't want to spend all this money and not have a serviceable warranty, so off I went to Best Buy with a bunch of stuff I printed off the internet.

Best Buy has a great price matching policy and I was able to haggle down the price. I immediately told the salesman that I was looking at prices other places and found them for much cheaper. I also told him I would be getting accessories and an additional lens besides the kit so I wanted to see what he could do for me. He knocked a couple hundred off the camera and the lens that I bought. I got filters, a bag, a memory card, and a tripod. All togehter I was a very happy camper. I immediately took the boys to the park so I could get some shooting out of my system.
