Yep, we love bathtime

This is an extension of my week 8 Project 52 post. There were just so many dramatic faces and splashes to pass up the opportunity.

Project 52 - Week 8: Bathtime

The most fun I have had on this project 52 adventure is when I have shot photography of something quick that just came out as a cool picture as opposed to a picture setup.

While weeks one and two were fun, weeks like this are even better.

Check back later this week to see the rest of the photos I took of this joyous occasion.You can see all of my photography on my Flickr page.

Dog Kisses

The dogs have grown very fond of licking Paxton.

What does Paxton think? Eh, not so much.

Sticker is working on his ups.

And we also found out that dogs and cats can coexist. Perhaps the centuries old battle is coming to an end.

What those pets are up to

You might recall when we got Boston Pugsley a few months ago. Friends and family are always asking what he looks like now. Apparently he looked a bit strange as a puppy. Not much has changed.

He's still pretty weird. We were told he was a Bug (Boston Terrier and Pug mix). But he's more of freak of nature than anything else.

Scarlett has been getting some compliments on the weight she lost. That was the reason we got Boston. She was just lying on the back porch getting fat as she refused to move around. It was almost like a sit in protest. She wouldn't move until she came in and then she acted like she was on crack.

Sticker is a weird cat. At our old house he would roam all over the neighborhood. We moved here and now he barely leaves the backyard. Who has a backyard cat?

They all hangout in the backyard. The two older ones like to lay around while Boston terrorizes both of them and keeps them in shape.

Photos of the lake in the dead of winter

I had mentioned in my Week 3 post that I would post a few more pictures of our Lake Hefner excursion.











We all had a great time. It was about 55 and sunny. With the track that goes around the lake it makes for quite a crowd.







I spent so much time trying to get the lighthouse photo to work. So, I missed a lot of other opportunity for good pictures.








I was trying to use a density filter to get some long exposure shots in daylight however I'm pretty new to this filter so it wasn't working out that well.

9 months were here and gone

Another excuse to shoot some photos of Paxton.

Our backyard fence doesn't do practical things like keeping our dogs in the backyard, but it is great as a backdrop.

Paxton is getting less enthusiastic about having a camera in his face.

But all-in-all I think he had a good time.

Until he got bored and took off.

See all the photos on my Flickr page.

Meet the Huckabas

One of my aunts asked that I take some family photos when they came up from Texas for Thanksgiving.

Jessica, Aunt Teri, Uncle Kerry and Caleb

We were planning on going to Hafer Park in Edmond but we took the pictures on Thanksgiving morning, so we didn't have a lot of time.

I wanted to do some shots that weren't so traditional, but there are not a lot of poses for a "grown up" family without getting corny. So, I focused on backgrounds to keep it a bit more modern as opposed to traditional.

It was a lot of fun.

But a reminder of how special family is... Even brothers and sisters.

And of course, Mom and Dad.

Little late - 6 month pictures

This is coming in a bit late, but we finally got his 6 month pictures taken. Caitlynne and I took Paxton to Hafer Park in Edmond.

He wasn't in the best mood for it. The poor guy has some Miller sinuses going on. He's been stopped up and coughing all weekend. But despite being sick, he was smiling as usual.

And other times, not so much.

But for the most part, he was smiling. That's what happens when his Mom courageously sings "If you're hapy and you know it" in public.

And if her singing wasn't enough it may take a little dancing.

He even did some dramatic faces for us. Here is Paxton's "I have my whole life ahead of me" face.

Here is his "I need some alone time" face.

Here's his "I want to eat this grass" face

After all of his hard modeling work, it was time to just sit back and take it all in.

Here are the rest of the photos from this shoot. To see these, and more photos of Paxton (and other things believe it or not) visit my Flickr page.
