Corrupted


I love it when I am able to capture pictures like this, on a beautiful day!  With it being fall, I told Tim we were going to go take some pictures of the kids in the leaves.  I had such a fun time capturing their smiles, they were being such hams.  I even got a picture of Carter laying on his tummy, Kinley on his back, and they were both smiling at the camera!!!  Ahhhh, make this Mamma happy!  And then my SD card filled up, so I switched out cards and captured this family photo.  What a successful day!  That is until I got home and tried to download the pictures onto the computer.  It informed me my card was corrupted and could not get any of the pictures off!  My heart dropped.  Not only did I have the wonderful pictures from that day, I also had all my October pictures (all 1,500 of them) on there, including the pumpkin patch adventures and some Halloween fun!
Tim and I have each spent countless hours trying to retrieve the pictures and have been unsuccessful.  So, here is a post to the lost pictures.  Sorry kids, you were sooo cute that day!!!!

Well, about a week after the crashing of my card, I decided that we were going to recreate our perfect picture day.  Unfortunately, our wonderful tree that produced such an amazing backdrop had dropped all the leaves and looked nothing like it had on that day.  So, we were on the hunt for another perfect spot.  By the time we found a place, the kids were cranky and ready to take naps.  So, Carter refused to smile.      
And this is what I got.  Yeah, not what I had imagined.  Tim and I were mad at him at first.  But, looking back, I can do nothing but laugh.  What a crazy life we live. I am glad I was able to capture it in the photos.  And you can be guaranteed when Carter calls me complaining about his kids one day, I will pull these pictures out and laugh right along with him!
When we got home, Carter decided that he felt bad for not smiling, and said he was now willing to smile.  So, I plopped him down in the leaves in the front yard and got these beauties.  Not sure why we drove around town looking for the leaves...
