Misadventures in Mommyhood: Utter Frustration!!!

The Oldest

Sage is the oldest of our three children. She is a sensitive, caring and very sweet teen girl. She says that she wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. She is already growing up way too quickly for me. I am very proud of her for many reasons. She is a pre-ap, GT student with (almost) straight A's and is kind to everyone even if they are not kind to her. She has also broadened her horizons in the food catagory which I am very happy about. She has tried new things such as brocolli and asparagus and absolutely loves them! I like to think that we have done a pretty good job so far with her. Before long, she'll be all grown up and on her way to creating her own life!

The Boy

Raiden is the crazy part of our children. He looks and acts just like his father which can be good, but not so good at times. They do seem to share a similar temper and that's the not so good part. He's a real sweetheart, though. He is Momma's boy but is definitely all boy. I am very proud to say that he is now a Webelo rank in the Cub Scouts and plans on sticking it out till he makes Eagle. This week he tells me he wants to go into the military and that couldn't make me any prouder. He has also expressed intrest in being an astronaut, a teacher, a spy and a fireman just to name a few. He really believes he can be all of those and so do I. He is my Boo-Boo Bear after all!

Utter Frustration!!!

Last night we had an advancement ceremony for our Cub Scouts. Our boys are just so stinkin cute that I can't stand it! My complete and utter frustration comes from the fact that I couldn't hardly get a decent picture no matter what setting I put my camera on. I know Kodak makes quality products and I know I'm not that bad of a photographer, but these are just ridiculous! I mean, check this out:

These are the best shots I got of my own son. Unless you count the ones of the back of his head.

Granted he was a little closer and the lighting may be a bit better than it was on stage, but still....

It didn't seem to matter what setting I put the camera on or how steady I thought I was holding, the pictures would turn out crappy. Makes for a very disappointed mommy.
