Guest Blogger -- Zachary Anderson

Hi.  My name is Zachary and my mom is Lori Anderson.  Mommy bought me a camera and I've been taking all kinds of pictures of things and Mommy said I could show you some of them.  OK, some of them are blurry, but she said that was ok.


I like to take pictures of the ceiling fan spinning fast.  It makes funny pictures.  I also like to take pictures of me making silly faces.  Mommy said I couldn't show you my REALLY funny faces because I was sticking my tongue out a lot but this one is still funny.  And there's a fan in it, too.

Ha ha, did I scare you?  I scare Mommy when I sneak up on her and make this face!

This is a picture of a shelf in our living room.  A friend of Mommy's made the frog vase.  The picture is of me and Daddy when I was little. 


I want to show you where my Mommy works at her computer.  It's very messy.  She said it was ok to show you but she doesn't like her picture being taken.  But I said, "Please" and she finally said, "OK".


Mommy's office is pretty.  She has pretty pictures all over the place.  I draw some for her, but some of her friends drew these.


I took this picture of Mommy when she was beading.  She thinks hard when she works.  She teaches me about beading, too.  I want to make glass beads when I'm old enough.


OK, that's all the pictures I have to show you right now.  I hope you liked my story and I hope Mommy lets me come back again.

Dear Zack,

I *LOVE* that you blogged! I can't wait to show Grace and Ellie when they get home from school, because they're going to be so excited to see your photos and what you had to say.

I've known for a long time that you are artistic, but I think these photos are proof that you have real talent. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your photos soon.

Love, Jen

Thank you for sharing Zachary - I loved your photos. The one of your mom is wonderful and her beading shows her hard at work - you did a fantastic job. I really look forward to seeing the beads you create in the future. I hope you are able to return again too.

Welcome to blogging Zach! I am so glad you have joined us. You have a great eye with a camera. And I like your focus on the things that you know. Thank you for sharing that with us. I have another blogger friend who has a son who does a blog post on his mom's site. Have your mom email me and I will send you the link if I haven't already. He is a wee bit older than you but I think you would like to see what he blogs about.
Enjoy the day!

Great job, sir. I really enjoyed the self-portrait with fan. You are right, your mom's office is very pretty. Maybe your mom with left you make some polymer clay beads until you are able to handle a torch?

Congrats on your first guest blog!

Great photos in this post ! Is your header on the top of your blog new photo's too? I don't remember them. Then again I've been totally out of touch, so maybe I just dont' remember. Either way I think they are great, and I love the necklace in the center.

Zack,
You did such a great job on this story. You have your mom's ability to take pictures and write! I would have never guessed that she had a messy studio, though!
Now we know!

Congratulations on your first blog post, Zach! You are a wonderful writer, just like your Mom! Your pictures are fantastic - especially the one of you with the fan, and the one you managed to sneak in with your Mom at her desk - just love that one. I know she doesn't like having her picture taken. I'm looking forward to more guest posts!! :-)

Zachary, your photos are fantastic...you're a natural! The photo of the fan is very artistic ;-)

I think it is very cool that you want to make glass beads when you're old enough. I know that you will have lots of fun, and I'm sure you'll make beautiful beads!

I look forward to reading your next blog post!
