Tadpole...King for A Day

It is hard to believe that my little Tadpole turned 1. It seems just like yesterday that I was driving madly through the night to get to the hospital because ya know that all Grandmama's have to be at the hospital when their grandbabies are born. I am pretty sure it is a law. And if it isn't...well it should be.

So on Sunday Ranchgirl hosted a small get together for the family to celebrate the first birthday of our Tadpole.

Not every birthday boy has his birthday meal served in such style....



Yep that is an old chuckwagon that just hangs around the place.



Yum...Mama's cake was so good!!!!



Oh my stomach!! I never wanna eat cake again!



Pretty sure these three are up to no good.



Pappy and Tadpole



Uncle T. He thinks his nephew is about it.



Auntie S. with her favorite guy. Don't know what Pappy was looking at but he looks sneaky



Uncle N. He liked the presents as much as Tadpole. Yes he has bruises and scratches on his face. He and Pappy were in an accident Friday night, they are fine and dandy. The Lord is good.



RanchGirl and Ranching Momma. We got to meet a fellow blogger and her sweet family. What fun!

I am loving my camera. I have not had much time just to mess around with it. But so far I like it a lot. What I decided on was a Canon PowerShot SX20IS. I ordered it from Amazon they had the best price I found for it. It is very heavy duty which I like. And a nice large size which I like. It has the superzoom..and I have not gotten to do much with it yet..I am hoping that it works well and does not blur out. Lots of rodeo's to go to this summer so it needs to work well. There are lots of hints built into the camera about the operation. When you go into manual there is a setting that gives you hints on the settings to use. For someone like me that is a great thing to have. I was pleased that even in low light settings the images are clear. A lot of point and shoots are not. I guess this would be considered a high end point and shoot. I think the next step up from this one would be a SLR. I went with the Canon because my old 35 is a Canon and is still going strong. And I love my daughters Rebel. Maybe one day I will graduate to a SLR.....maybe not. I don't like complicated, wears me out. The only thing that I don't like about this deal, and it is not the camera, it is the book that comes with it. There isn't one. It is on a CD and has to be downloaded on your computer and then it is there in a PDF file. Dumb dumb idea. I don't know what there were thinking. Going green I suppose. But it was dumb. You can print it off, and I may some of it...but it is an extra expense with ink and paper. Really dumb idea.

Well I am off to try an accomplish something.

God Bless and Happy Trails
