Happy Wednesday.

Plum Creek Easter Egg Hunt 4/23

Hope you had a blessed Easter.

My daughter's elementary school had a "recycled" fashion show. All of the materials that made up the outfits and/or accessories had to be made from reused materials. It's a nod to Earth Day.

This girl made an outfit out of bags from the store Justice.
Neat.

Happy 7th Birthday to my Mar Mar.

Angry Birds, a photo by seanclaes on Flickr.

These little buggers were not happy when I saw them. Maybe they were mad at me because I didn't refill the bird feeder. They, with their friends, emptied a HUGE bird feeder in 2 days. It was amazing... and a little unsettling.

It's my daughter's 4th birthday today.
Woot!

Happy 4th Birthday Harper Ellen!

My 7 year old and the entire 1st Grade Class at my daughter's school has a "Mother Goose" performance on Thursday. It was fantastic. I got some cute photos of the kiddos.. but I thought I'd turn the camera outward and shoot the parents capturing their kids on film.

These kids are singing "Los Pollitos." It's a spanish children's song. Neat.

Was driving home the other day and caught a Senior Picture session in mid-shoot in downtown Kyle.

It's Senior Picture Time!

PEEP MASSACRE IN KYLE, TEXAS

Went to CVS yesterday afternoon and saw this... apparently a Peep Massacre happened in the parking lot. I hope the proper authorities were notified.

 As I stated last week, there was a Kyle Chamber Ambassador's B.A.S.H.

"Ambassador's B.A.S.H. stands for Business Advancement Social Hour and is a FREE Networking opportunity for all members of the Business Community!  Everyone is invited to join us.  Just bring plenty of your marketing materials and your smile and get ready to network!"

The April B..A.S.H. was held at Thunderhill Raceway last Thursday. There was a big tent, raffle, people racing on the track... and some folks in attendance were chosen to race the NasCARTS (which I've pictured below). The meal was catered (burger sliders, fries, onion rings) by the new restaurant in town... located at the track... called Bailey's Burgers. It was delicious.


Seemed like the perfect place for the father-daughter team of SeanMar to take photos. So, 6-year old (for another 9 days anyways) Marlee and I headed out there with camera in hand. Yesterday, I posted my shots. Today... here's Marlee's

These are some of the shots I was able to capture:

I'm not sure if this is a "Funny Car"... but it sure is funny looking.

People can sign up to drive the NasCARTS. Neat

Welcome to Texas. The Bluebonnets are coming in.

Just a reminder. Taken on Yarrington Road in Kyle.

I made beans... while cleaning them before cooking I thought this'd make a cool shot.

Tonight at 6p there's an Ambassador's B.A.S.H. at Kyle's Thunderhill Raceway. I'll be taking the girls out there. It's pretty cool.

Looks artsy. On the side of a building in downtown Kyle.

This weekend was the Fajita Fiesta and BBQ Cookoff in Kyle. It was held in conjunction with the monthly Market Days. Long story short, it was awesome, and there was a BUNCH of great folks out there cooking and selling crafts and services.

My 6 year-old, Marlee, recently started enjoying photography... so I thought I'd have a little Kyle Daily Photo mission. Her and I, both armed with our trusty cameras set out to chronicle the event. I am uploading a couple of our shots here, but the rest are on my Flickr site in a set titled 04/02/11 - Kyle Lions Club Fajita Fiesta & BBQ Cook-Off, Kyle, Texas. Please, if you have time, give Marlee some positive feedback. She got some beautiful shots.

Yesterday I posted a few of Marlee's shots. Here are mine.
The full set (these plus more photos) are on my Flickr site.
