Adventures in... Mr Seriously CUTE & getting to know my 1st slr

OMGGGGooodness.
   
    I am having SO much fun with CeeCee (my pretty new/1st slr)! I am really getting the whole "your pictures may get a little A LOT worse, before they get better," saying! Oh am I ever!  Practice makes such a huge difference, though, & I am already noticing a slight difference in my images. I've been trying to always shoot in AV mode, but get super frustrated when I miss a great shot because I have my settings all wrong. Oh well, that's how you learn! I did just realize I've had my camera on the wrong auto focus setting this entire time! Hopefully that will make a little difference... ya think?! Lol)  I've been watching a million tutorials, read my entire manual... but it's just not completely clicking just yet. I guess I need to cut myself a little slack, I have only had Ceecee for less than a month now. If any of my lovely bloggy pals have any tips, links, or tutorials that helped you, I would be super SUPER grateful!  Please know I'm not posting these because I think they are amazing perfect photos. (Though my little man is perfect & A-mazing) I just want to document my journey of this great love I have, for photography AND (of course) my sweet handsome little boy!

P/S
These were shot before I realized my auto focus was set incorrectly.
But they show my cutie, so they're still pretty great.


Oh. swoon goes my heart.

LOOOVE this.
Jaxy sitting up on a tree stump.
SO glad I caught this. I swear, he was maybe up there for under 3 seconds!
Score.
Plus a smile & looking somewhere in the vicinity of the camera...
double score!


Boys & sticks. It's a thing. For REALS!

I know this shot is not at all perfect, but I heart it.
Just monkey's slight (adorable) profile, you can tell he has a HUGE grin going on!

Shhhh... mommeee.

Haha. These Mr Serious looks kill me.

Lol.
 Now if that's not a "REALLLLY mom look," I don't know what is.

Mr Serious is serious about his remote control Tow-Mater!

Byeeeeee guys. Xo!!

Adventures in... hangn w/ the peeps, & a curly haired boy

Jax had some of his
 neighborhood homies over to play!


Lots of fun was had.
It is so much fun watching him really play w/ other kiddos.
(even if he is taking them hostage) lol


Snack time
I only had three chairs out.
Hello slide/chair...

The down part of using a slide/chair...
it's still a slide! (ahahhha)

Mr cool/monkey-man made his own homemade sprinkler (aka the garden hose).
As you can see, he was pretty proud of himself!

Mama's 100% pure sunshiny boy






Summer has been wonderful, but (DUDE) a bit hot.
I'm looking forward to fall!

This table is so fantastic.
It came w/ all the bells & whistles, even a water fountain.

Poor innocent fella!

All is forgiven. For now.

This is my happiness.
Full happy hearts.


This table is quite the hit. I can actually make dinner,
