Chicago! Field museum and other things!

Chicago is the best! Even though it is the best, I totally forgot that I went there with my husband a while back, until now!!!!!
This is the field museum (coolest place in the world!) 

The awesomeness that is inside the field museum. (haha awesomeness is a word!)

                    Me with elephants, I just noticed that one elephant is stabbing the other! :O

 Richard looking at the most complelte skeleton of a T-Rex in the world. 

                                                      Other cool dinosaur, this one is fake though.

                                                           The aquarium, we didn't go in, but I still saw it!

 Weirdest little water park I've ever seen! There's this computer image of a girl and once in a while she'll spit water out of mouth. Weird, but still pretty cool!



I have a lot of other pictures, but I'll have to post them later.

Thanks!

Baby Eli!

These are not all my photos! Most of these my mom took.(okay, okay she took all of these)  She took these to show off the blanket she knitted.  Not only is she a fabulous knitter, she makes the cutest babies in the world! (but I'm biased) I just tweaked these a little bit. Emphasis on the little if the italics don't do it for ya.










 I wanted blue eyes! Why does he get them? Oh, but you can't be mad at this little one. Especially when I live six hours away and I don't really have to take care of him. 



He's probably looking at mom in this one awwwww!Well I'm grateful I can have such cute pictures of a cute baby on my blog without going through the process of actually having one. Thanks mom!

State College things

We've taken lots of pictures over the past two weeks, but I've been having a hard time liking them. I think It was just a phase (hahah phase) because when I went on a walk yesterday (all by my lonesome that's what happens when I'm not so busy and Richard is in law school) I went crazy and here are some of the things I saw. 
I love the bus system here! It's so convenient especially since we only have one car. I also liked this ladies sweater you could see the purple miles away!
Flower, enough said.

Flower, with bug, still pretty.


Flower with a bee that was a very good model or it was dead......anyway

     This picture was taken on a very windy day, but I think it turned out pretty good. Hopefully I can think of something else to take a picture of instead of flowers. 

Lots of Love!

Let's get some SHOES!!


I LOVE my wedding shoes! I can never get enough of them! They're the shoes  that come to my mind when listening to the David Bowie song called "Let's dance"  "put on your red shoes and let's dance the blues!"    So my hubby and I did a photo shoot of them. (yes, my hubby likes to do this with me, just don't tell him I told you that!) 


We used the railings of our porch so I could use the trees as our background. It worked out pretty well.



Richard I couldn't decide between the two so I put them both up. 


Well, can't say this is going to be the last time Richard and I do something like this with my wedding shoes. I can see we have some things to work on, but it was way phun! Lots of love!

My littlest siblings!




We went to Michigan a couple weeks a go to visit my family on our way to law school at Penn state. (We also went to the Art Institute of Chicago and I got a lot of cool pics of Monet's paintings and stuff, but I'll put that up later) I have a big family so a couple of siblings are still babies. I'll start with Lydia..


Isn't she precious? I told her to look innocent she did a pretty good job pulling it off.

I wish I was that cute! My youngest sibling Eli, is four months old now. So, he really doesn't recognize me as his sister. In almost every picture I take of him he gives me this "who the heck are you?" look. It's so cute!
He has no teeth so, he can't keep his tongue in his mouth. He makes me melt AWWWW! Look at those big blue eyes! 



Lydia and Eli pretending to be friends. As you can see Lydia isn't too happy with being de-throned.

I think this is hilarious. Nathan was trying to do the exercises on wii-fit! He was so serious about the whole thing is was funny!


Lydia and Richard taking a nap. Lydia fell asleep watching TV with Richard, then Richard fell asleep too. So cute!

Babies with a really expensive camera and a pirated download of Photoshop.


My first personal blog, *sniff* I'm so proud. Now you can all mercilessly stalk me and see how great my life is; seriously, compare your life to mine and you just have to commit suicide. Well hopefully you know me well enough to know that was a joke, and that I do stuff like that I lot. Hence, the title "Powell Photography Phor Phun" for those who do not have last names that start with P's we roughly translate this as "Powell Photography For Fun." 


 Please keep in mind as you follow our blog, Richard and I have absolutely no idea what we are doing. I find this quiet similar to Nacho Libre trying to explain to that cute fat orphan child why he is wearing stretchy pants in his room....."is for fun."


 I also can't think of any other way to share what goes on as Richard and I ride off on majestic stallions on the eternal path of blissful romance (ugh I'm going to make myself throw up). Really, I just can't think of any things else to do with these pictures, so you have to look at them, HA!
Here is Richard, my husband, (not Rick his facebook lies) contemplating the deeper things in life, actually he  was probably listening to his dad. This picture is hilarious because Richard is not at all serious....ever.
This is me, okay not really, this is a pretty flower I found with Richard while hiking. One day Richard might take a good picture of me for now this will do.




This is my brother-in-law and my cute little nephew! Aren't these pictures just precious?! What a cute daddy!




Another cute daddy! This is my other brother in law and his daughter. I love the expression on her face, she looks like she's thinking about something....deep.I was thinking this could be a good tie ad too, I was thinking something along the lines of "Ties..isn't it about time you stopped looking like a slob and wore one?" or something.

Anyway, go easy on us, we're just babies with a camera. Comment, if you wish <3

P.S Sorry I posted these pictures without permission if said people want me to take them down I will.
