Landon is one!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANDON!

Landon turns one on February 17th. I took his pictures so I could make his invitations. For the cake pictures, I don't know how I got any in focus, we were laughing like crazy at him. It was hilarious. He didn't have to be shown anything. He started on that cake and didn't stop till he was finished.

Here is Landon's 1st Birthday invitation that I made. I blurred out the address and phone number for the crazies.

I am still here.....

I have been meaning to post here for a while... I think about it weekly but just love looking at a ton of other blogs and find it hard to say something on my own. Thing to come soon, are some more reviews of my favorites and maybe even some not so favorites. I may back track and show some Halloween and Christmas because I never shared any of that and maybe our vacation to Sea World. I'll try to be a good girl and update this thing.

Abby's Golden Birthday pics

Abby had her golden birthday on January 7, she made 7 years old.

We have had a very long, cold & wet winter. I finally was able to go out and take these pics, as the weather was finally warm enough and sunny to take these. I had this invisioned in my head for a while. I wanted a pretty blue sky in the background and a lot of flat nothing background. It was hard to find a location. Abby had a school holiday on Monday and it was a beautiful day. We went in the middle of the day, so I'm not totally happy with them as it's hard to take pics in the full sun. But I did get a few that I love.

My favorite juice.

This was my favorite juice until one day Walmart didn't have it in stock for like a month, which is a very common thing for them to do. Hey this item is popular, lets not order anymore so the not so good stuff sells too.

Tropicana Pure Pomegranate Blueberry

I really hate to try new stuff when I have already found something that I love. But I scoured the shelves and found something else to try. And jackpot I found my new favorite juice which has taken the place of the Tropicana Pure.

Northland Pomegranate Blueberry

Both of these juices are very good, but I prefer the Northland one! They are so yummy!

Landon - 6 months

I took Landon's 6 month pics on Saturday. It's so hard to believe he is that old already. I first took his pictures when he was only days old. He has grown so much. He has the most beautiful blue eyes.

I really love this photo, but I forgot to up my aperture on my camera, so the blocks are not in focus. I computerized the letters in, because it was the only shot I got like this of him on his belly.

Yum

On Friday E.J. came home with a watermelon and shortly after, our Gymboree order arrived, which included a watermelon shirt. E.J. had no clue I ordered it and he just wanted watermelon. Abby was so anxious to eat it. We put in the fridge overnight. Most of the day on Saturday she kept asking when we were going to eat it. E.J. was working. When he came home he started cutting it up and Abby put her watermelon shirt on and began to eat it up. So here are the pictures of Abby in matching shirt & watermelon:

4th Of July 2009

Yesterday for the 4th, we quickly took a few pics before going to a pool party. It was in the middle of the day and was miserably HOT! I absolutely love this dress on Abby. When we walked up to this area and I saw the flag, I knew it was just perfect.

Then, after the pool party we went to our city's fireworks show. Here are a few semi-long exposures of fireworks.
