Home With The Kids or Office With the Work??? Hmmm...


This was Oscar the weiner dog playing in the snow on Sunday.  We didn't get much that day, but both the kids and the pup enjoyed being outside and running around.  Being cooped up in the house for days tends to get us all a bit on edge.  Although I must admit that although at times I was ready to pull my hair out after being cooped up for 4 days with the kiddos, it was nice not to have to worry about things like payroll, business insurance, or accounts payable.  By the time the four day, turned five mini-vacation came to an end I was more than happy to return to the office.  Yes, I do love my children, but so do their teachers.  ;)

Camera Critters

Yesterday, the kids and I attended a birthday party. We had a great time. My sister and her husband actually hosted a sleep over for a total of 11 children complete with weenie and marshmallow roast. Three girls 8 boys ranging in ages from 4 to 11. They are brave souls but the kids had a wonderful time. They have not stopped talking about it. By today they might be looking for orlando vacation homes to find their sanity. Luckily my sister and her husband recently built a large log home so the kids had lots of room to play and have fun. They also have plenty of room out doors for the many animals they house such as ponies, cows, chickens, rabbits, and this turkey who has a rather serious anger issue. Apparently he doesn't like to be photographed because when I pulled out the camera he got his feathers in a ruffle and began to yell obscenities at me. Well, okay maybe he wasn't yelling obscenities, but he was making some awfully loud gobbling noises directed at me. Thankfully there was a fence between he and I. Next month when it comes time to carve up a turkey, I might be paying him another visit, that little bugger!



My mother-in-law made the cake you see pictured. It is a three tiered waterfall cake complete with wild horses and even ducks swimming in the falls She is an amazing talent. She has had no formal training other than the many cakes she's made over the years for weddings and birthdays for family and close friends. We've tried to get her to branch out and go into business for herself, but she refuses. I am proud to have her around because she makes all of the cakes for my children's birthdays. She has full creative controll when it comes to the cakes. We pick out a theme and she just works her magic!

Camera Critters - Emily's New Friends

This goat decided that he wanted to take a bite out of Emily's sticker she'd gotten from the Sheriff at the County Fair. She was giving her new furry friend in the petting zoo the what for when I snapped this picture. Moments before she was smiling when they were licking her hand. She quickly realized that goats will eat anything!

Camera Critters

My kids each have one of these in their rooms. They have them in plastic snack baggies. They have two pieces of candy corn in the bag with the shell of a bug - just in case he gets hungry!

Camera Critters


This just so happens to be only two of my critters. Oscar the wiener dog had curled up in the chair with Shelby after they got out of bed this morning. They look awfully cozy don't they? I just wish there was enough room for me to join in. Happy Sunday everyone. To see other Camera Critters, click the badge above. To see my past Camera Critters entries, click here.

Camera Critters

This was the scene last week when we went with the kiddos horseback riding. The girls and Tyler all had smiles just like this almost the entire ride! We had great fun and the weather was pretty nice. We got rained on a bit, but it was a welcomed cool rain. The critter in this photo is Remedy. She did a great job and has been on many trail rides with the Black Family. We're fortunate to have access to such beautiful horses and wonderful trails. To see more critters, click the graphic above.

Camera Critters - Life in Arkansas

I shot this photo two weekends ago in Hector, Arkansas when we were on a four wheeler trip. This beautiful butterfly was going about it's business and I happened to have my Canon in hand and I was able to snap it . I was so thankful that we got to spend the weekend exploring the countryside. I love being outdoors and fortunately we live in a state that makes that possible because Arkansas has beautiful country.  I love enjoying the wonders of nature in Arkansas! I wouldn't have it any other way!

Camera Critters - "Hello!"

This little guy was at the Downtown Aquarium in Houston. He was very a very friendly sting ray  and unable to harm as he was in a tank where you were allowed to pet and touch him. It was my favorite feature in the Aquarium. I thought it looked like he was waving in this picture. What do you think?!

Happy Mother's Day - Camera Critters


This beautiful seahorse is a mother that I do not envy. I can see the exhaustion in her posture. The poor thing. I think she needs a night out on the shell. Any volunteers for pony sitters?
These are her children...there are hundreds of them in this tiny tank! If you click the image to make it larger you can see the proof.

Happy Mother's Day to all my fellow mommas out there. I hope your day is grand and you don't have too much to clean up after the celebration. Maybe this will give you a laugh:

Camera Critters - B/F/Fs

I captured this photo of Shelby and her buddy, Oscar the wiener dog last weekend as they napped. Oscar loves to curl up and get cozy with anyone who is still. He has a comfy little couch to lay on, but very rarely does because he seems to find a bed or lap to lay in most of the time. To see more critters, you can click the banner above.

Camera Critters - Beverly Hills Chihuahua

I cannot take credit for this image, this is Papi & Chloe from the new Disney DVD Beverly Hills Chihuahua.  Whether or not you are a dog lover then this movie is a must see.  These little guys are just too cute.  Chloe is a pampered princess and gets dragged to Mexico by her owner's irresponsible niece who lets Chloe get lost. The film follows her misadventures trying to get home and the case of characters she meets along the way is full of non stop laughs! My kids watched this movie before I had the chance to sit down and enjoy it. I heard Shelby crying and went to check on her and she was so sad that Chloe had lost her family and the "big dog was being mean to her". Tyler got a kick out of the thieving Iguana and Rat. It's a great family movie. I've seen it several times now. Jamie Lee Curtis is brilliant (as always). Drew Barrymore and George Lopez voice Papi and Chloe. These are just a few of the big names that are attached to this film. To find out more about the film, you can visit the official BHC site here.  To find out more about Camera Critters, you can click the badge at the top of this post.  Here is the official trailer for the movie:

Camera Critters - "Streeeeeeetch"

I've spent the biggest part of the day sifting through baby clothes. I put away two big trash bags full of clothes that Emily can no longer wear (many of which she NEVER wore). I finally sat down to unwind a bit and visit some Camera Critters. Imagine my surprise when I realized that my post had only been saved to a draft and NOT set to auto publish. *sigh*

Without further adu, I give you my Camera Critters photo:
We visited the Memphis zoo last summer on what I believe to be the hottest day of the year. This guy decided to quench his thirst and I was lucky enough to capture a shot as he did. Can you imagine having to spread your legs so wide to take a drink?! It would be like being on one of those car lifts or something!

This little guy right here managed to get himself INSIDE my laundry room. I had gone out to put a load of laundry in the dryer. The door was open, so I closed it. I heard some rumbling out there later on, so I opened the door to the laundry room and screamed. He just stood there frozen. I ran to get my camera and then shot his picture. I went outside the house to go around and open up the door from the outside to let him out. I don't know which one of us was more afraid of the other. He went out soon after the door was opened. I had been wondering what happened to the cat food. We were keeping an automatic feeder out back for some stray kittens that had come up. I had to quit using it because the food would disappear faster than I knew those kittens were eating it. Do you think that I found my culprit!?!? For those of you who do not know this is an opossum.

Saturday Photo Hunt & Camera Critters

My 81st
This Week's Theme: Furry
To visit more Camera Critters, click here.

Since this week's Saturday Photo Hunter's Theme is Furry, I thought I could just combine two posts in one. In this photo is our Dachshund, or "wiener dog" as we like to call him is taking a nap on the couch. His fur is short, but he has a lot of it. When choosing an indoor animal, I thought a short haired dog was a good choice because of less shedding however Oscar has proved me wrong. His black fur ends up everywhere!!!
