purple fairy

My mom got a new lens. I wore my jammies today (most days I have 2 or 3 different jammies on during the day) I put on my new purple fairy wings and started jumping on the trampoline. Is that any reason to try out a new lens? in the middle of the day when the light is too harsh? Mom thinks so :)

jampoline!

Here are a few photos of our little jumping girl. Tia looooooooves to jump on the trampoline - and all around the house for that matter! Yesterday the word "frog" was mentioned and she started hopping everywhere saying "frog, frog, frog . . . " Pretty exciting for a little girl who started walking less than 10 months ago :)

If anyone has advice about the colors in my photos - please share :( I am so frustrated and iphoto only seems to make the colors worse . . . so these are SOOC - I know I need to learn photoshop but it does seem like my Canon Rebel Xti is not giving me good color! any suggestions?
