You all are so fantastic! As for software, I am using Jasc's PSP 9. I did try using the backfill feature - but I left the sunglasses their original color instead of manipulating them. Also, these photos were taken with my Sony CyberShot instead of my Canon XT SLR... what a difference it makes!
Ezri, no need to take the photo down - that's way cool what you did with her sunglasses! Wow! Thanks for walking me through the process you used - there are similar tools in PSP that should let me achieve that same effect.
The way I manipulated the photo in my avatar was making two layers of the original picture - (I got it the way I wanted to as far as corrections before I duplicated it into two layers), then I changed the bottom layer to b&w, went back to the top layer and used the eraser tool to erase all but her sunglasses, then I merged the two layers.
On the tongue photo, I simply used some correction tools to try to make the photo look better, since the original was pretty shaded.
Today, there should be some more photo opportunities, as I have family down and like to take pictures of Pais playing with my little cousin, who is 2. I'll have to go back to the other photos I took yesterday and play with them to see what all I can achieve following the advice you all gave me. Thank you so much!

The one of you and Jerry is just too funny. Does he bring his light saber with him to work?

I drove past a barn today....
Someday I will actually stop you know.
STOP when I see something inspirational.
FORGET that I have 6 screaming hungry kids in the van
FORGET that I have 3 cars behind me
FORGET that I have a house to clean for guests
WHY?
Because the sun will only be there for -->*<-- that long
Because the flowers will only be yellow for -->*<-- that long
Because the wind will only be blowing the blossoms that directions for -->*<-- long
Because the farmer next door sill set his goats out on the dandelions before the combination is perfect again.
Because "tomorrow" the barn may be gone....
Because it makes me sick I did not stop.
Really-
Lovely-
Tin wrapped barn
With a red roof
Set behind a field of luscious tall yellow dandelions
5:15pm--- low soft sweet warm sunlight pulling out the shadows in the ridges in the tin siding and roof.
I need to stop bashing myself right?
Yeah- Stopping now.

Gosh, I didn't have all of those excuses when I drove past the mother horse and foal with the morning sun on their backs.... I had to get to work on time! That is all. Perhaps I should have stopped.

Honey said- what do you want for mothers day

He said HUH?!?!
I said- Okay, Still too pricey- How bout a tilt-shift lens?

I said- Okay how bout a 150.00 lensbaby?

LOL!

Careful Ezri,,, all that camera equipment is a trap. One reason I have a midsize camera is not only because of the price. If I had to lug alot of equipment around, I'd be less likely to lug equipment around at all. I learned this when I was the one taking nice photos with film and everyone else was running around freely with empty hands.
But then again, sometimes ya just need to have the monster camera for the shoot.

Tooney- think of it as weight training....
tripod presses
Lens curls
that barn shot? it would have been awesome on a tripod with the aperture stopped way down so that the flowers and the barn were all in focus. OoooAhhhh.
the lensbaby is a fun little lens. one of the folks on Flickr said that it was the tool you needed to make your expensive digitals into a Holga... hehehehe! another review I read on amazon said that it was a CHEAP intro to the tater cellar level of tilt shift technology. Shots like this one and this one are fun reasons to give this baby a try. that and 150.00 is WAY less than the near 2000.00 for the tilt-shift lenses.

Okay, I'll ask it, what's a lensbaby?

the lensbaby should be fun. that tunnel vision effect they give might get old after a while though. i've looked at some of the canon ts-e lenses, and theyre $1,150 for the 45mm and 90mm. some neat uses for tilt-shift are making real life shots look miniature, like maybe a city street looking like its a scale model. this guy on flickr has some nice examples:

#1 does more straight forward stuff but I doubt she will get the camera from #2. She has Honey's 4mp digital and the 35mm film with 10-12 shots on it. 
Those pics are awesome - the light lasers was a fantastic idea! You know, I've never developed pics of my own - I've always taken them to get printed. Even if I enhance photos, I simply burn them to a CD and then take that in to print them off of, lol. I think developing in a dark room would be really awesome though. Thanks for thinking the shot of Pais with her sunglasses was cute - I wanted some playful shots of her, and that one was honestly my favorite, next to her "attitude" poses. 
one of them ALWAYS did.
