new talent and more family pics

I never did understand why photo studios can charge an extra $20 or more just to click the black and white button on their screen or for that matter why they can charge $40 for one 8x10. Then I realized its because we are all suckers! When we see those pictures of our cute little bundles, our common sense goes right out the window and we agree to pay hundreds of dollars every 2 or 3 months for pictures of our kids who refuse to smile anyway. Well... I have decided its time to stick it to the man! I recently purchased a cheap version of photoshop and enrolled in a class. I also found an awesome girl who not only takes pictures, she also edits them and gives you the cd at no extra cost! jackpot! So here is my latest photoshop creation of our first family pictures. eat your heart our "professionals"!:)

That is so funny, I've been experimentin' with the same thing!! It is a joke paying for pictures. Ok, so what software did you buy? I've been messing around with one I downloaded for free from the internet and it's not exactly top notch. I'm very interested... You did a really good job by the way, cute, cute!

I would absolutely love the cd, if you don't mind! I'll trade you and give you back your Chris Farley dvd, how's that?! And I would love to go to that class, but I don't think I could manage driving up to brigham. Maybe they have one at their million other locations across the wasatch front? What's the class called?

Alright, you need a new post. I feel like a loser since I've commented like 5 times on this one already. Sorry about this weekend, Aaron became violently ill on Thanksgiving, good times so we were bums. Hope the "pack-n-play" worked out. You're blog header is stinkin' cute! I'm so jealous... darn cd drive!!
