New Camera

The other week Nate and I decided it was time to grow up a little bit - and by that I mean, get rid of our old cheapo camera and get a new one.  And while we were at it - we might as well go big!

This is my new best friend: the Nikon D5100

I am still learning all the bells and whistles - but even the auto mode is awesome!

Below are some pictures I took of one of Annie's baby showers:

Then there was this guy- Jackson, son of our friend Missy. Seriously, could not get enough pictures of his cuteness!!

Trying on one of Annie's gifts to make sure it worked okay :)

Iowa State girls - minus a few who were dearly missed!!

Like I said - I am still learning - but having fun as I go!

Happy 4th/Annie's Baby Shower

Hope you are all having a great 4th of July!!!

Last week we had a co-ed baby shower for Annie and Jeff.  It was an al American theme.  I totally forgot to take any pictures once people started showing up - but here are a few of the decore items.

Straws to drink the root beer floats out of...

The awesome diaper cake that Laura, our friend and my co-host for the party, made:

All the guest went home with fireworks:

And speaking of Laura - her daughter was almost as popular as Annie was at the shower.  How cute is she...
