Corn Nut? Baptized?!

Before the big event with his grandpa and grandma- he looks completely grown up!

We're proud of you, Corn Nut!

Corn Nut + Camera = ?

Recently, after getting this new camera, I have learned a life secret that I never would have thought of before-

Cameras help you "win friends and influence people!"

Thank you for the applause.

Hello?

****

Well, okay. . . . Maybe just win friends?

****

Strengthen friendships?

One last shot. . . Maybe. . .

Have amazing pictures show up on your camera because your younger brother {Corn Nut} got a hold of your camera and took a bunch of random pictures with it that add color to your life?

*ROARING APPLAUSE*

Yup. That's how you make your life happy and fulfilled, folks.

Here's the last new discoveries I've found:

Random.

Randomer.

Random (and cute).

And pretty much amazing.

Who said it was fair to have your younger brother be a better photographer than you?

Not me.

Straddling Buildings

The many moods of Corn Nut

Careless.

GOOFY.

Contemplative.

Sad. . .

Frustrated.

And pleading.

All he wants for Christmas is. . .

His two front teeth!

Chicken Boy

Jumpin'

I love Summer.  The living is easy, you don't have to worry about anything, and all you have to do is watch your brother be a nut on the tramp and take as many pictures as you can. . .

Ahh-

That's the life.

Did I mention the NUT in Corn NUT?

Watering Fields

Yipee!  It's the first day with water in the ditch- officially beginning Summer for me.  

Doesn't the water look absolutely divine???

My dad's showing me and my mom how to water the fields here.

"I Fell into a Burning Ditch of Fire. . . ."

We Burned the Ditches yesterday.  It was quite the adventure, as you can see.

Everyone was busy filling up buckets of water for 'insurance', banging out mini-fires with their shovels, and generally having a good time.

Corn Nut had a blast. 

My Dad and Cashew oversaw the work (and helped, of course.)  My uncle from Utah came up to visit with the cousins- it was a blast.

And the lovebirds.  Ahh. . . .

The end to a great day. 

Foam Swords

A few days ago, Chestnut, Pistachio, and Cashew created these foam swords out of PVC pipe, swimming noodles, and Duct Tape.  Ever since that, they've been dueling it out. 

In this one, I put the camera on a really slow setting so that you can see the movement.  I thought it was pretty cool.

As a finishing though- I took this as a sword was flying through the air towards me.  I think it blends into it's surroundings quite well.  It just looks normal to have a sword sitting there in midair.
