Oliver's Smile

Brandon's Birthday

Brandon hates his birthday. He has for as long as he can remember.  I hate that.  I love my birthday.  I have tried every year to make it special for him.  I think I am making some progress, but he won't admit it.  This year I made him a gift of pictures of the boys.  I am posting the final product as well as some of the pictures I took trying to get the right one.  Surprisingly, Oliver was easier to get a good smile than the other two.  

48 Hour Film Festival

When I got up at 4 am to feed Oliver this is where I found Brandon.  He had been up editing the film and just crashed.  I literally had to drag him up the stairs to bed.  He did not remember any of it the next day.  During the 48 hours he only got 4 hours of sleep.  He took all week to recover.

Brandon participated in the 48 Hour Film Festival again this year.  It is a film making competition where the participants are given 48 hours to make a film.  Friday night they are given a genre, a prop, a occupation, and a line that they must use in the film.  The film must be 4-7 minutes long.  This year Brandon's group got Thriller/Suspense, the prop was a certificate, the occupation was roommate, the line was "Whoa, I didn't see that coming.".   (Everyone was confused about the occupation roommate.)  He made a film about a foursome that gets stuck in an abandoned psychiatric ward and finds their doom.  Spencer, Melanie, and James all got to be a part of the movie acting as ghosts.  

This is Brandon and I at the screenings of the movies.  

Brandon's team won 2 awards.  "Best Make-up"  "Best Special Effects"

Some random pictures...

I almost caught a smile

Spencer and Chandler love to follow Brandon around when he is filming.  This particular event was a hula recital. 

Spencer took the camera and made Chandler pose.  This was one of the shots he got.

Crazy Sock Day!

He is just the sweetest little guy.

Three is my favorite number:)
