WooHoo..........we did it! With all your help we were victorious in the Pettiskirt contest held by the owner of The Beloved Child clothing company. We will now be looking through her new spring line and picking another color to feature this year at Backroads by Lynda. I appreciate all of you helping, logging on, voting, calling, and the wonderful humorous e-mails that I received were a delight too! I really appreciate all of you that went out and voted and really loved that late night push to victory by those of you still up that in the wee morning hours! If you haven't already checked out The Beloved Child Pettiskirts, here is a link to her website that is just filled with beautiful children's clothing of all kinds: http://www.thebelovedchild.com/
Again, thanks to all. This really was fun!!!

A weekend full of tournaments!!!!!!
Wow, what an exciting weekend of shooting sports! Friday night started off with the Crane tournament where I got to watch Crane and Marionville play ball. It was a very close ballgame for what seemed like the longest time until Marionville came out victorious. The Pirates never gave up though and made for an exciting game to be a spectator. The Comets and the Pirates, never a dull moment!
Saturday morning started off very early with Grapplemania. The Grapplemania tournament is a wrestling tournament hosted by the Springfield Youth Wrestling club with hundreds of competitors and hundreds more in attendance. This is always a well run tournament with one of the highest turnouts of youth wrestlers in our area. I shot literally hundreds of photos from 8:00 in the morning until after 6:00 in the evening. It was a long day but a very exciting day! Only one major injury that I saw (hopefully Hunter is healing quickly) and some very intense wrestling from division 1 through division 5 wrestlers. Many teams traveled hours just to be able to compete at this level, with the caliber of wrestlers that attend this tournament it is always an honor to be able to go home with a medal from this tournament. Thanks to all the wrestlers who gave me some awesome shots to start working up. It might take a little time to get all these ready for viewing!

I need all of you to help!
Hi, if you are visiting the blog I would love your help. I have entered 2 pictures in a contest at a children's clothing company. One of the entries has made it into the top 12 and is up for voting on the owner of the company's blog page. The winner recieves a new Pettiskirt of their choice, this is where you come in, I would love your vote. If you like the Pettiskirts that I posted on an earlier post, please help me win another by going to http://www.scenesfromthewild.blogspot.com/ and vote for #1 (Petti's and ponies). It is a Valentine themed photo contest and the children must be in Pettiskirts. On the blog you will find so many pretty pictures of little girls in beautiful pettiskirts, maybe you can send me your comments on which new color you would like to see at Backroads by Lynda. Thanks to all of you who go out there and vote, I appreciate your help and hopefully will win another beautiful Pettiskirt from The Beloved Child for spring and summer pictures!

Crane vs Billings
What a good basketball game down in Crane this past Friday night. It was the Pirates against the Wildcats and it was quite an exciting evening. Varsity victory went to Crane but it was a close game until the end with both teams playing excellent ball. Here are the highlights of both the Junior Varsity and Varsity games.

The Petti's have arrived!
I have just been so anxious to get the new Petti skirts in and couldn't wait to get my little models out and start shooting once they arrived. These skirts should be so much fun for the Valentine's Day shoots as well as for this spring and summer. I have purchased a small in periwinkle blue with vibrant purple ruffles and then the hot pink in medium with multi colored ruffles, this will allow us to have lots of fun with the girls of all ages coming into the Backroads studio. If you are ready for something a little different for this Valentine's day, consider coming out to Backroads by Lynda for some Petti shots of your little sweetie.

Meet our new addition to the family
This is our sweet and very smart little man, Hank. He is now 8 weeks old and such a good little boy. I wasn't too interested at first in having to start house training and all the other assorted things that go along with a new pup, but Hank is such a great little pup and is learning very quickly. I have to admit, we are having a good time with our new spotted pup! These are a few from his first "puppy session" in the studio. I can't wait to see what we can come up with for his Valentine's pictures!

Happy New Year from the Backroads!
Like most people, I find a new year full of new opportunities and possibilities, new ideas and new directions for Backroads. I have taken off some time for Christmas and feel very blessed to have been able to spend some time with my extended family. We had Christmas dinner together at Mom's house, got caught up on all the family members and what is new in every one's lives (including Ben and Shelly's exciting news of a new baby on the way and Charlene and Weston's upcoming wedding plans) and even spent one day right before Christmas at Silver Dollar City seeing all the beauty of the season! I promise to get some pictures up on the blog very soon. We also have a new addition (of the four legged kind of coarse!) and his name is Hank. He is a darling Australian Shepard/Border Collie pup that was given to us by Tate Tellier and his fiancee Marlissa..................you two have heard about paybacks I am sure! That's OK, I will be taking their wedding pictures later this year, hmmmmmmm wonder what kind of a wedding gift I can come up for them?!?
Well, with all the new possibilities of the year, it is time to get back to business and this year one of my "Backroads" New Year's resolutions is to get back to keeping the blog up to date. I have heard through the rumor mill, "hey, what's up with the blog. Not too much on last month", so here we go! I was so busy at the end of the year with Christmas pictures, Christmas cards, and 3 senior sessions that I just didn't sit down and blog. I have plenty of catching up to do on here and in the next few weeks I will be updating with some of the images that I captured in November and December............so stay tuned, there is a lot to come!
One of the new features that I am adding this year are video clips. I am adding one today with a few of the images that I captured at the Ozark Youth Wrestling Tournament. It was a well run tournament with many youth wrestlers from the area competing for medals in several different divisions. I thought some of their images would be the perfect thing for trying out the video clip. I am hoping this will be a fun new feature on the "Backroads blog" be sure and let me know what you think.
Well, I hope everyone had a blessed Christmas season and a very happy start to a new year. Check in often to see who is being featured on the blog, what events we are visiting and what specials and new offers we will be having.
Blessings,
Lynda
