Quick story

I got to see the sweetest thing last week so I thought I'd share it with everyone.

So last Friday at summer school this music group came to perform for the students. One of the singers got up to sing a "Hannah Montana" song and all the kids got excited. When the music started one little boy with special needs jumped up and shouted, "This is my favorite song!" He then started dancing and singing along at the top of his lungs. I felt kind of bad for the girl who was on stage singing because no one was even looking at her. Everyone was just loving watching the little boy have the time of his life. It was so sweet. His teacher eventually got him to stand in the back where he wouldn't distract the other kids.

Lucky us though, the last number was another Miley Cyrus song. I'm not a fan at all of hers, but I was so glad when they started to sing her "Party in the USA" song because I knew what was going to happen. Sure enough the little boy jumped us again and was busting out some awesome dance moves. It totally made my day.

BTW - summer school is going well. I only have 9 more days left of school and then I'll be traveling to AZ where I'll be meeting up my family and seeing my grandparents. YAY!

Our newest hobby

Let me begin by saying that Sean and I are not photographers, nor do we think we are. This is just something that we're having fun with. Okay, now I can tell about these pictures. Sean and I decided to get a "nice" camera after having McKay. We wanted a camera that would take great, sharp pictures and ones that wouldn't be all blurry whenever he moved around. So we got a Nikon and it's awesome.

Anyways so on this website that Sean likes, called Gizmodo, they have a weekly photo challenge. Usually about 200 people or so enter each week and they choose 8-10 pictures to feature. Sean's entered it twice and both times his picture has been highlighted. To see the actual site where they have the winners click here.

So here are his pictures that he entered:

This one was a "free-for-all" challenge where you could do whatever. He put a tube over the lens and then aimed the camera at a blue Gatorade bottle. Pretty cool.

Next was a self portrait. He set up the camera the night before and used a remote to take the pictures first thing.

This weeks challenge is the theme of oil on water (inspired by BP) so this one is actually my entry - not Sean's. I doubt I'll be featured, but that's okay. I think it's pretty.

Lastly, I HAVE to post a picture of my amazing cute baby. McKay has discovered that he can get his foot into his mouth. Don't you just love it when babies do this? I do. Especially when McKay does it.
