What's a Christmas without the Nutcracker ?

What's a Christmas without the Nutcracker? I hope you enjoy the Nutcracker ballet as much as our family does. There are so many companies that produce this throughout the world and can never pick a favorite. Enjoy this small clip from the Nutcracker and watch it through the eyes of a child. God Bless and Merry Christmas.

OU Duct Tape ?




While shopping this week from my never-ending list of art supplies for my classes at the University of Oklahoma, I noticed that OU has found yet another thing to brand.... Duct Tape! Wow, who'd ah thunk it? I can buy one roll of duct tape for TEN BUCKS!! Yet since it's branded with the OU logo, it is so special and makes it worth $10 instead of $3 or $4. Although I was tempted to buy several rolls of the crimson tape, I had to spend my money on the art supplies and my duct taping projects will be without the crimson and creme that I love so much.

Don't Ya Love Technology?


Don't ya love Technology?

Growing up I was able to experience so many changes in technology. I remember when my grandparents purchased one of the first microwaves, dials and all. My parents took me to their house to watch something cook in less than five minutes. WOW! Now,that I think about it... cooking something in less than an hour was quite a feat. LOL

I remember getting our first video game....the Atari. Wow, wasn't playing Pong for hours the greatest thing? LOL Yeah, right?

I know I'm making myself sound old but I just can't believe how in the last 30 years how quickly technology has progressed. I'm sure it would blow our minds if we could look into the next 30 years or even the next 100. What is in store for us? I know one thing is that it seems like a lot more time is taken away by trying to update our Facebook sites, email pics to grandma, tweet something useful on Twitter, update the Blog, check our five different email accounts, etc, etc.... Wow, this is NOT what I had in mind when I was so excited to get an email account years ago while living in New York. I thought I could instantly message my family or send an email and save money on my phone bills. Now, it takes so much time to make sure so many sites and accounts, business or personal info, is updated.

I know as a parent it's hard to find time to do it all... Sometimes I'm out shooting everyone else's photos and I wait until the last minute to photograph my own children. I've tried to be better at that this year. So just remember, although technology is amazing and I'm not saying to take it away (what ever would I do without Facebook? LOL) but take some time from your busy schedule and all those updates and make a life for yourself and especially for your children. (Plus... you can always take a pic or two to post on FB later~ lol)

Inaugural Family Fun by Shelly Perkins Photography


I wanted to share a personal photo of my girls. We were delighted to attend a family event hosted by Oklahoma's newly elected Governor Mary Fallin at the Oklahoma Science Museum. They had a great time not only seeing Governor Fallin but also painting tiles for a mosaic for the Capitol building, having their faces painted, meeting Ronald McDonald, the Oklahoma City Thunder Basketball Cheerleaders, and all sorts of fun.

Mary Fallin's team did a great job of putting together this event for the citizens of our great state. We enjoyed performances by upcoming Greyson Chance (who will be performing with Miranda Cosgrove) and Kyle Dillingham (a violinst who is an Enid native). Oklahoma has some amazingly talented musicians and artists.

Sweet Dreams by Children's Photographer Shelly Perkins Photography


I just wanted to share some love today. I love babies. I love sleeping babies. (Afterall, who doesn't LOVE a sleeping baby... LOL). Seriously, babies represent all things that are new and good. Babies are God's way of reminding us that we are special and we have a purpose here on Earth. Hug your babies, big or little, today. They grow up so fast.
God bless,
Shelly
