Overboard on pictures and lens talk

I just couldn't stop shooting pictures yesterday when I got my 50 mm lens. I've been wanting one for so long. They are great for portraits.
Ok so this isn't the greatest portrait. I wanted to aperture wide open to get the fuzzy background. Didn't focus on his eyes very well, more like his nose. But I love his expression.
 Great for low lights. This was in the evening indoors. No flash.
I love how sharp the pictures can be.
Ashlyn watching the kids play in the water.
 Yes, I paint her toenails (when she holds still enough)
 First taste of watermelon. This is her not-so-sure-about-this look
My new favorite picture of Ashlyn
 This is a different lens.
 
We love watermelon.
 Chawna came too. I followed her kids around a little bit too yesterday. Her girls are little monkeys. I couldn't believe how easily they climbed those tree. Must be the Tongan in them.
