Wish List Wednesday

With Christmas coming up quickly I cannot help but start a mental list of a few things I would like. Of course, I already got a camera so I doubt I will get anything more from Dustin, but I still like to hope.

Uggs. I heard these are very comfortable and I would not mind a pair



A video monitor. I really wish I could watch Brooke while she is "napping" and see what is really going on in there.



A treadmill. My only form of working out is walking when Dustin gets home but since it is now dark when he pulls up, I have not taken a walk in weeks. And it is starting to show.

Some Pictures

I have much to learn with my new camera but I had a lot of fun playing around with it this weekend! I am very thankful for my awesome portrait lens and LOVE it so far. My biggest problem is having a very mobile subject.

This is a little dark but I think it's cute.

My wish came true!

Today I got two very, very wonderful things in the mail.

A Canon Rebel XSi with kit lens.

And a portrait lens as well.

If you remember, these things were on two of my Wednesday Wish Lists (which I have slacked on recently) and I finally own them! I have wanted a professional camera for a long time now and Dustin said, "In the Fall". I have much to learn about this camera and will be doing various photo shoots with Brooke to get the hand of all the features. My big goal is to learn about shutter speed, ISO, and aperture.

"Uh Oh"

Whenever Brooke drops something off her highchair or out of a shopping cart we say, "Uh oh!". Well recently she has been beating us to the punch and saying "Uh Uh" whenever something hits the floor.

She dropped her book out of a shopping cart yesterday. "Uh Uh"

I accidentally knocked the TV remote off the counter. "Uh Uh"

And then she did this..... "UH UH"

Swag Bucks

I recently signed up for something called Swag Bucks.



I am not sure how many of you have heard of it, but so far I am loving this site! It is free to sign up and there are simple things you can do to earn "Swag Bucks". The easiest way is to use the search engine! The search engine is powered by Google and Ask so it is legit. If you are a frequent googler like me, then you will truly benefit from this.

You can also earn Swag Bucks from shopping online. Shopping! I am an avid online shopper so I was excited to see some of my favorite stores on their list.

You also earn Swag Bucks by referring friends. For every Swag Buck your friends earn, you will earn one too! How awesome is that?

So far I only have 5 swag bucks but I earned them all within 20 minutes of being on the site. You can exchange Swag Bucks for gift cards to certain stores/sites. Amazon.com is a big one and I look forward to getting gift cards for Christmas shopping!

So sign up!
