Meagan's First Communion

A couple of weeks ago my little cousin Meagan had her first communion.  She is my cousin Susan's little girl and if you saw pictures of Susan when she was a little girl you would think she looked just like her but with her Aunt Sandy's hair.. Susan said they were told that one person could take pictures while she got her first communion so she asked if I would mind doing it for her.. I felt honored to be asked and hoped that I could give her good pictures of this special time.  Here are a few pictures from that special day. 

From where I was that was the best I could get I would have had a better one of her getting the "bread" if the guy in front of me won't have stood up..then the deagan got in the way.. but I got her drinking the "wine" which she is a true Polock.. she told Susan that the wine tasted good! - too cute.

Just a little card I did..

So proud of Meagan!  Next year all of the boys will be doing their 1st communion.. we are all praying that they do them on different days or times!

oh my goodness... look what I learned to do!

Ok the post below has some great pictures of my cousins twins and daughter but I'm following a blog that is holding a FREE workshop this week and lesson one was about Exposure and Color correction.. well I decided to try it out on a few of the pictures.. check it out.. make sure to scroll down to see the SOOC (straight out of the camera) pictures...

wow what a diffence.. I've always used the curves but this thought me what the eye droppers on the side do if you have Photoshop you will understand.. so awsome!!  Can't wait to see what else I learn!

Meagan's game

So after we left the wine fest on Saturday I called Sandra because Zach was dying for someone to come and spend the night with him so we thought maybe Nolan could come well.. they were going to see Meagan perform at half time at the Atsocasita vs The Woodlands game.  Meagan is Sandra's niece or Susan's daughter.. or more importantly my cousin! hehe  Which she was telling her friends that her cousin Nolan was there and I told her you have three more cousins here too.. Zach, me and baby Kaylee (Nolan's sister) ok did you get all of that! 

Anyways she had attended a clinic with the drill team and now they were going to perform for half time (this was her 3rd year to do this).  So the game started and everything was going well then halftime well it was starting to look like rain but they let The Woodlands drill team and band perform then the announcement we hoped we wouldn't here.. we had to get under the stands because of lightening!  Poor Meagan wasn't going to get to perform..so we all got under the stands (they were concrete) and stood it out.. then they finally let us back to watch the game we thought they were going to let the girls perform after the game but they only let the band.. it was sad that the girls didn't get a chance to perform.. but we had a great time seeing everyone!
