Ben’s Birthday – Part Three

I know, a three part post for one birthday, but Ben’s just that special and totally worth it. For the last celebration of Ben’s 25th birthday, we went over to my parents house for a family day. It was SO much fun. We spent a good deal of the time outside in their ginormous backyard. The weather was great, we enjoyed a yummy dinner, and everyone was just having a fantastic time.

My brother Josh – I’m not sure how I managed to get him in focus and the non-moving part of the picture blurry, but I think it looks cool.

Micheal is so cute! He is growing into a big boy.

Emily, you need to talk Ben into upgrading your camera...with how much you love photography and all!

I would *love* to get a DSLR - any good suggestions? I have no idea how to even start looking for one!

I really like my Nikon d80, but the D40 and d60's are good starters too. I have a favorite lens 50mm 1.8 *makes the super blurred backgrounds that I love. and the auto focus isn't compatible with anything under D60...anyways call me if you want to talk more about it. I buy most my stuff on Amazon.
