Messing with www.Picnik.com’s Photo Editing

I’ve been playing at www.picnik.com I love this picture of Bj and Kiwi.

Here is one I did with little Miss Ashelyn… so much fun. I loved playing!

I’ll put in a few more later. Anywho… it’s a great photo editing tool… many of the features are free I did pay for the premium upgrade… a whopping $4.95 a month… I’ve saved that in cutting down on the whole Sonic drinks anyway… so this is my reward.

KHS 2010 Graduate!!

Friday, May 21, 2010, Zachary was officially a Graduate of Kearney High School. We are so proud of you! It was a great night spent with family and friends.

Zach’s Graduation Hug!

Isn’t this the sweetest picture ever?!? I loved it the moment I snapped it.

A Sea of Purple and Gold!

Grandpa Richardson, Zach & Grandma Phyllis!

So thrilled they were here for the festivities.

Alexander, Zachary and Misty… our babies are grown up.

Only Alex left to graduate in two years. CRAZY!!!

Zach and Auntie Lynn (She sure loves all her nephews and nieces). It was too late a night for her daddy, Uncle David, but he made the open house on Saturday.

Some how or other we missed getting Jake, Gideon and Ashelyn in a pic. I’m sure I tried and got vetoed.   

Zach and David… bestest buds!

Zach and Tim Foreman… Spent all 13 years at KHS together and remained neighbors and friends through it all.

Beckett, Gage, Jake, Zachary and Richard.

Zachary we are so very proud of you!!

KHS Prom 2010

The Two Amigos… Aren’t they studdly!?!

Zachary would not take off the sombrero he bought in NYC.

The dress Jenni has on and Zachary’s vest and tie were made by Jenni’s Grandmother. They looked so beautiful together… notice the sombrero. 

 

Silly son with Sombrero and beautiful Jenni.

I made the rose for Jenni’s hair at her request… (Bummer ~ she lost it on the dance floor… I guess I’ll be making another)  Zach’s pocket square was an after thought that I whipped up Saturday morning so it would match the vest.

Jenni and her grandmother designed her dress. They put three patterns together to get just what she envisioned. I think they did a spectacular job.  

The sombrero just would not come off… well eventually it did, but it took forever… what is even up with that?

The back of Jenni’s dress was amazing!!! This picture showed off just how gorgeous it was and her pretty up do too!

Notice… no sombrero! 

Alexander escorted Kat ~ a beauty from the Czech Republic. Kat is a foreign exchange student and a senior this year. She and Alexander are friends from Choir. They made a stunning couple as well.

They had a great time… Alexander even danced… Crazy I know. You can see Alexander was really proud to escort such a lovely girl.

Alex and Kat left after just a few shots to join the group they went to dinner with for pictures at Kat’s friends house. I only managed to snag two decent pictures before they darted off. I’m so glad I was able to get these two shots.

Zach putting on Jenni’s wrist corsage. Too bad I cut their heads off.

Jenni pinning on Zach’s boutonniere.

Jenni’s five year old cousin picked out and bought the earrings she’s wearing. She said she just knew Jenni would LOVE them. How sweet is that? The broach in the center of Jenni’s dress is an antique of her grandmother’s. Love, love, loved it!

This is Zach’s senior prom so I snapped a crazy amount of pictures for him. I’ll try not to bore you with too many more… but I had so much fun and it was such a pretty day for pictures.

ps… the center shot above is a picture of Jenni and her sister, Morgan.

I loved this shot of my two guys… had to add it to our header for now.

That’s all folks.

Can Anyone Say, “GOOFY!!!”

I love this Huck Finn look…

Misty took these photos of Zach yesterday… the sun wasn’t quite at the right spot she says… glare and shadow… caused a bit of a problem. I love them anyway.

   

 These last two shots show off Zach’s personality to a “T”. He is so full of it sometimes.

  

I thought these all looked awesome… I do see what Mist meant about shadows… but they are each such good pics. Not sure what we will do for his Sr. Pictures tho.

Let’s Go Fly A Kite…

OH, OH, OH, LET’S GO FLY A KITEUp to the highest height…

Let’s go fly a Kite and send it soaring…

Up through the atmosphere…

Up where the air is clear…Oh, let’s go fly a Kite!!!

When you send it flying up there…

All at once, you’re lighter than air…

You can dance on the breeze…

Over ‘ouses and trees…

With your fist ‘olding tight…

To the string of your kite!

Crazy Kite Flying Fun!!!

Easter Storm…

Sunday dawned a beautiful sunny gorgeous day… as Easter Sunday should. In fact, it was one of the prettiest Easters in a long time. Late in the afternoon the clouds began to roll in… what came next was one of the loudest thunderstorms in some time. It brought crazy winds and many areas enjoyed golf ball sized hail also… we lucked out on Sunday’s storm, but not so much on Tuesday Evening’s (BUMMER).

Here is a picture I captured right as the rain stopped. Isn’t it just beautiful. It makes me think of Christ ascending in to Heaven.

 This is the Rainbow I captured when I looked out the other direction… How cool is that?

 Another shot of the Son… I mean Sun peaking through the clouds. I loved it!

And this is the picture of the guy who wanted to meet Jesus. He was up there flying in the middle of the Thunderstorm… Brent says he was trying to fly above the storm… CRAZY!!!
