Week 26 - Dancing!!!!!

Who doesn't like dancing??? My favorite thing about this blog and challenge is that I am documenting my adorable child's life. It's just perfect that this theme came up this week around the same time that this little stinker has started "dancing" to music. Her dancing includes bouncing up and down on her knees, on her booty.. really, any movement... already a better dancer than her Daddy.. hehe!! My one problem, however, was figuring out a way to capture her little dance moves. Pictures don't really show just how awesome these moves are.. video is where it's at for those puppies!! So, I figured, what the hell... I'll get in the picture this week and dance with my little Tootlebug!!! Finally, a chance to break out my remote... that I bought MONTHS ago. .clearly it was a necessary purchase!
We were at my parents' ranch again (surprise surprise) checking out the new little lambs that have recently entered the world.. don't worry, they made the blog, too! It's like a goldmine out there for pretty backdrops. The only problem was the fact that the sun was out in full force, ALL...DAY....LONG! However, along with my trusty sidekick, Paige, we were able to find some awesome shade by a full sump (where the big sprinklers get their water..for those of you who have no clue what a sump is.) So, I set up my tripod in the pickup bed, set my camera to remote, grabbed the remote and grabbed my child. As I am sitting here typing this out now, I realized my biggest mistake.. maybe we should have put some music on to dance to. Either way, Avery and I had a great time dancing for the camera and for Paige. Avery seemed a little more interested in Paige than me seeing as that's where she is looking in this image... I'm cool with it :) Another great day at the Ranch.. another green infested image!!!!

Now.. what about those lambs!?! Here are a few of the lambs of Sister Sheep :)

 My mom is such a badass Bo Peep!!! Seriously though, aside from the occasional help on big things.. like building lanes and sheering and such... this woman takes care of these sheep on her own. Even banded all of the babies... free-handed.. all in an afternoon's work.

I also have to share this picture of human Paige and lamby Paige! We decided to name the lamb Paige, without Bo Peep's approval, because of the striking similarity in their hair... curly, a little out of control, sometimes frizzy and, obviously, BEAUTIFUL!! :) 

Now some babies!!!!!!! 

And, I can't take pictures of the sheep without snapping a few of the world's (second) BEST subject. The number of images I have of Kuzco may be able to rival the number I have of my child!! Ok, maybe not THAT many.. but I just think he's so much fun to take pictures of :)
