Present for the Little Momma

Mom asked me to get these scanned in a LONG time ago. I finally have them! Better late than never, I guess...



And mom, here are those pictures I took of those lamps for you so that you might be able to draw them. :) Love you!

Criminal Nature

I am a nomad in a country of settlers


A drop of oil in a glass of water


A nopal that flowers where one can't and shouldn't flourish


A wound of history still bleeding



My crime has been being what I have been all my life

Thank You SLCC

I just wanted to say thank you to the people at SLCC for not stealing my $700 camera out of my car when I accidently forgot to lock one of my doors. (The door that you have to lock by hand because it doesn't respond to the automatic locks) I lock my car whenever I go anywhere, because I would rather be safe than sorry. But, after being in school from 8 to 5:30, my camera was still there. Thank you!

Isaac's Party

Congratulations Shauna!

Photographying Light

In my photography class today, we had to use digital cameras to photograph different types of light. Meaning: sidelight, direct light, back light, and diffused light. She also wanted some abstract photographs of shadows.


I had the most fun with the shadows, but overall, I had a good time with this assignment. Even if it was digital. And even though we had to do it on campus.









I have also learned how to manipulate the way that water looks. The first way is to freeze it in action:


The other is to make it smooth and show the motion.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC!!

You are the sweetest, most energetic little stud that I know. :) I can't believe that you are already a year old!


It seems like just yesterday that you were a mellow little kid that wasn't into everything and DEFINITELY not walking around!


I love seeing your personality develop. Your "Incredible Hulk" laugh is hilarious, and several other unique traits.


I hope you know how much we all love you! It is so cute to see you with Kameryn. You two are such great friends.


Most importantly, you have the coolest parents that love you so so much. Happy Birthday Isaac!

Before and After

But thanks to the amazing talents of Amanda, this is what it looks like now!
