'Honest we aren't doing anything wrong! "

An exciting new camera !

I recently came across a Polaroid Colorpack II Camera at a garage sale. After some research I discovered that only Fuji still sells Polaroid film to work for the camera. It cost way more than the actual camera but has been so much fun experimenting with. Thankfully I had a visit from my sis and mom who helped me figure out how the camera works and took some fun experimental shots.  The following is a description of the camera and some fun details about the camera.

Description:


Here we have a Polaroid Colorpack II Land Camera. Although the Polaroid 100 film for this camera is no longer being produced, it is still available from several online sources. THE EXCITING NEWS all over the web on October 14 is that in 2010, Polaroid film will once again be available (both black and white, and color)!
The camera measures 6 3/4" x 6" x 5 1/2". About this camera, from Wikipedia: "Initially produced in 1969, the Colorpack 2 was the first rigid, plastic bodied, colour film capable Polaroid to retail at consumer range prices, and set a precedent for many, many similar models that followed. The Colorpack is designed only for 100 series packfilm.
Focusing is carried out by turning the distance-marked front lens element; unlike the original Polaroid 100-400 series packfilm cameras, this series features no rangefinder mechanism. As an improvement over the original folding series however, there is no need to cock the shutter after each exposure. The Colorpack 2 also takes generic 'blue dot' flashcubes, with a wind-up hot shoe and small plastic diffuser set to one side of the lens.
Early versions of this model featured a glass lens, but most were plastic."

Here are the famous behind the scenes photography shots:

Happy FOUR Years !

We have been married a whopping 4years today...I was looking back at some wedding pictures and choose some more candid shots that I liked to post. I love my husband and our life and am so thankful we were brought together.

Little Helper

After being gone for a couple weeks I can home to find the most gigantic zucchini in my garden. So my big "little man" had to try and carry them. He actually managed way better than I thought and loved showing me his BIG muscles. Although when it came time to eat the things he decided he didn't much care for them !

Montana State Football Military Appreciation Day

For the 1st home game of the year at Montana State the Army helped with the presentation of the colors at the beginning of the game.Joel is standing in front of the flag as he was leading the marching. It was such a beautiful day and was a fun start to the fall season.

Lee Brice - Love Like Crazy (Official Video)

This is a great song a song about staying together through the long haul and reminds me of true commitment in marriage.

Nebraska Summer Adventure

    While Joel was at AT(Annual Training) with the Nat. Guard the last two weeks working hard training and evaluating shooting, Kadence and I took off for the corn fields and family to visit. We had a wonderful time visiting cousins, 2nd cousins, grandma, aunts, uncles and everyone in between. 
     Much of our time was spent hanging out with grandma and going on little drives around the area. It was so nice to catch up on life in general. We visited grandpas grave and I really enjoyed listening to grandmas stories of her life. I found out that during WWII she was a Riveter in the plane factory ! It is so nice sometimes to just listen and learn from experiences. It really touched me to hear grandma talk how after all this time how much she misses grandpa and hear her talk about him and how they met. Those stories are so sweet and reminded me of the words in the song I posted on the previous blog.

    Kadence was spoiled at Uncle Bill & Aunt Cheryl's as he got to help out with the haying, ride horses, collect chicken eggs and play with all the farm animals. He found out he really like to run in the corn field's till one time he ran a little far and after that stayed closer to home.

    I also really enjoyed visiting the Old Market Area in downtown Omaha. It had so many unique shops and it was fun to see where grandma used to come with her dad to sell produce when she was young. She told me the funniest story about how on the way home from the city her dad would get so tired and just dose off. The horse knew the road so well that he just kept going as her dad slept.

   While in Nebraska I took a drive one afternoon to Lincoln and thought Kadence and I would just walk around the football stadium. Well we had great timing as the team was practicing and we were also able to go out on the field and take pictures.

 

(I thought this was so full of thought you can just hear Kadence thinking someday I am going to play out there.)



On Sunday evening my Uncle Gary & Aunt Diane hosted a very fun family BBQ and hayride for the whole family. It was so fun too see everyone together and reminded me how blessed we are to have a FAMILY.

We also explored the Henry Doorly Zoo not once but twice as we just couldn't get enough! This was a fun memory for me as I remember mom and dad taking me when we were young.
