Camera Cleaning

We are going camping this coming up weekend and I like to make sure the camera memory is emptied and ready to go for special events. It's my worst nightmare (well one of many) to have a special moment happen and the camera memory be full or the battery dies. Call me neurotic (it's okay, I accept it) but I just had to transfer over pictures before this weekend.

WELL! it's a good thing I did, because holy pictures, batman!! I sadly use my iphone more then the Cannon and I was completely unaware of how many pictures I had left on the camera memory. It took forever, and I mean more than an hour, to transfer over all the pictures to their proper files on the computer. Not to mention, my iphone was pretty jammed packed with images and video.

Last month, we went to an apple orchard (I posted some pics of that already) but I found some new ones on the Cannon. Also, I pretty much despise our current location and our neighborhood and the city we live in BUT we do have about 8 trees on this one part of our street that are magnificent in the fall. We took Noah for a walk to snap some fall time photos and those pics are below too. 

Now I am all ready for this weekend.(well I still have to pack, and grocery shop, do laundry, and clean the house, but at least the cameras are ready)

Side note: I have an obscene amount of pictures on my computer... I mean 1000's of them. My goal this summer was to put them into photo books using shutterfly or something. Well...I didn't make a one! I just feel like it's so much work and money to get the pics from my computer to have hard copies. If anyone reads this, what do you do with all your pictures??? I'm afraid to only have digital copies, in case, God forbid, something were to happen. I would probably have to be committed to a mental hospital if 18 months of baby pictures were erased. That's why I feel like I need hard copies....what do you all do??

Baby and the iphone

I use to judge people who did stupid stuff with their phone, like drop it in the toilet or the bathtub. I use to think, "How does that even happen?" well now I know. I was giving the baby a bath and taking pictures of him of course. He slipped and fell backwards into the water. I panicked (like a dummy) and reached in to grab him with both hands (one hand holding the iphone of course) I pulled both child and iphone out within seconds, baby is fine- just scared, iphone has an issue.

Obviously my baby is more important but I have to say...I'm pretty pissed at myself for doing something so stupid. I just got this phone and it was $150. (I got a discount for turning in my old phone) Everything works, except the sound. I can't play music or any apps that have sound. It still rings though so that's good. I didn't have insurance on the phone because I've never done anything stupid with my phone before to need it. So now, I'm stuck with a phone that doesn't work right because I am not spending another $200 to get a new one- ugh!!

On a more positive note, here are some adorable pictures of my little man from my iphone (yes, it still takes pics- thank God)

I look stupid in the next picture, but it was so cute of him to give me a kiss, that I had to post it.

Another Obsession!

So now there is Facebook, blogging, Pinterest, and as if I needed another thing to distract me from life....Instagram! So cool. I am just beginning so I don't have a ton of pictures yet, but feel free to find me and follow me, my username is (sincerelys)

I am just loving that I can take ordinary photos and jazz them up a bit. I know I am also a bit behind in the technology because I just got my iphone a little bit ago. Here are some of the photos I have taken of little man.
