A Shot of Life

YUMM-O!

Homemade Ice Cream!!!  It is seriously so delish!

A couple of weeks ago I received an ice cream maker!  I wasn’t sure how often we would use it..or how creative you can become with one!  WOW WOW WOW …I have so much ice cream to make and SO little time!  We have had a batch every night for the last couple days…and I’m trying to dream up how I can stop at a variety store tomorrow to pick up some kind of chocolate bar to crush in it!!

When Kevin and I first started dating…his Sister and brother in law would make home made ice cream…they always served it at birthday parties and occasions!  So this new obsession is bringing back lots of memories!!!

For those interested here is the ‘how to’:

The Ingredients: (eggs, who knew? Eric was MIGHTY surprised by this..and has been calling this ‘eggs cream’ as a result!

Pour everything into this frozen ‘bowl’:

Put the lid on and turn it on:

This is the mixer (churn) that is placed inside the frozen bowl:

Final product:

Tonight we enjoyed Smartie…and I plan to make something else fun for the weekend!!

This is a pretty random post…our life right now is pretty random so I guess it is a fair portrayal of our life!

We replaced our lawn mower today.  A bit extreme in my opinion, but we needed to do something and with about 1 acre of grass to cut we needed to do something bigger!  I broke the lawn mower yesterday for about the 1 millionth time this summer and I knew one day Kev would say “I AM NOT FIXING IT AGAIN”…so off he went to town…he came home with this!!!

{this picture totally cracks me up, JJ’s shoes on the wrong feet}

I think this was supposed to be a thumbs UP, but Jer decided to go with #1!

I told you this was random, right?

These jeans were in the laundry…I took them out of the dryer…Did I really WASTE laundry soap, energy and time on this??????

Anyone want to sew a button for me? I have one that needs to go on…This is Kevin’s job….I guess his Mom taught him well…If he can sort out the thread I would love it if he fixed Erics shorts!

These little guys are pretty pesky at our place right now…even mid day you can be attacked! ‘buggers’

I must attract animals!

So many recent family sessions have brought out different animals!

Goats, chickens, dogs, kittens…you name it!  That’s all part of the CUSTOM photography experience!  So unique, so fun!!

A great morning with these two little munchkins!

Sweet baby boy! 

Love the animals all around!!!!

I chased “T” around for quite a while…but I was SOOO happy to capture this:

Still have the older two to capture and a family picture!  That will be in September!!!

Two 80th Birthdays and a big anniversary definitely call for a big celebration!
Thank you for meeting with me for the family pictures! What a pleasure to capture memories for your family!

This is Mom & Dad and their ‘original’ kids!!

The whole family! What a blessing! All those handsome teenage boys!!

Grandma and her Grand-daughters! Only 2 out of that whole bunch! So sweet!!

This cute little family is expecting a new arrival anytime!!  We were all happy to have the maternity pictures completed so that baby is free to arrive!!

A couple different locations for this session, it was a  nice evening on the town!!!  Thanks for being such great models, your pictures will be ready soon!!!!

Yay for my new wide angle!

A glowing Momma to be!

I adore this family picture!! {love}

This was a fun filled afternoon for family and friends!
My goal was to take random pictures of the days events for a new digital photo album!  What a great gift idea!

We also took a few posed pictures, the whole group together (around 60 people) and just a few other grouping!

No consent forms signed, so just a couple random captures!
