Farmer's Market

My Dad's Birthday was last week and that morning he and I went

to the Farmer's Market together to pick up some yummy

local produce.  I of course brought my camera along to snap

some pictures of our outing....Enjoy!

Look at the beautiful sunflowers!  They were begging me to bring
them home to enjoy my kitchen ;)

Check out the size of these green onions!

Hmm, more flowers....I'll have to grab these next week when

we go.  Nothing beats fresh cut flowers :)

And check out these guys!  They were playing some fun folk music for

everyone while they were shopping :)



3 Months Old Already

I recently posted the SUPER late newborn pics of our precious little peanut, but she's actually growing so insanely fast that I can't

believe I'm posting her three month pics already!  She received

her first pink dress from her auntie Stacey and it was a little too

big for her when she was first born so I was so excited that

she finally fit into it for her three month pics!  There's just something

to be said for a little girls first pink frilly dress! 

I can't believe how fast this time with her has gone.  Everyday

she is surprising us with something new and I'm sure

we are like all new parents when we say, "Is she not the

cutest little girl EVER?!!"  Hehe, we think so anyway :)

Her favorite part of tummy time is kicking those back

legs like crazy and scooting herself towards us.  She was drooling and

chewing on her lip like crazy here.  "I'm coming for ya mommy!"

At this point our little lady was getting pretty sick of smiling for

the camera.  She's at the point where whenever mom

or dad holds up a cell phone or camera to take a picture, she

loses all expression and just gives us this blank stare. 

Gotta love her!

BUT...every once in a while she'll give us some precious

smiles we love to see!

Doesn't that face just say "Seriously mom....I'm over this picture thing"

Hahaha, get used to it sweetie!  You're gonna be mama's

number one subject :)

Blue Eyed Beauty

I met Nicole through her sister and when I found out she was going

to be a senior this year I HAD to take some of her senior pictures. 
She is absolutely stunning and has such an outgoing personality that she made my job easy to capture some amazing pictures.  Going through
 them all made my job of picking a few for her preview SO hard! 

Here you go Nicole, I hope you had as much fun as I did....even though we had to fight some strong winds down by the water ;)

Just look at those blue eyes!

Thanks again Nicole :)  Enjoy your senior year!



Gimme that BBQ!

For my hubby's birthday this year he wanted to relax and take a day off work and spend
that time slow roasting a pork shoulder.  Now let me tell ya, he showed that shoulder
more love and care than anything he has ever cooked haha.  I helped him come up with QUITE
the dry rub seasoning.  It was fun coming up with our own combo of spices
and then adding some pinches
of this or dashes of that once we got them in the bags to marinate over night.

 Just look at the tender care he took in seasoning the shoulder!

And boy....was it a LONG day of smelling that amazing stuff cooking.  We may have snuck a bite or two to make sure that it was tasting yummy enough to share with our friends.

And just in case yu want to drool over it one more time.  MAN was that one tasty dinner.  I'm pretty sure he enjoyed this birthday more than any other.  Not only did he get to enjoy the amazing meat he cooked up for everyone and enjoy all the tasty side dishes our friends brought, but it was his first birthday as a proud papa.

Baby girl is staring off into a crowd of people that were enjoying dinner.  Her little hand on her chin cracks me up.  It's like she's thinking "Hmmm when do I get to enjoy tasty food like that!?"

She's here!

I've been gone from my blog for quite some time and I am proud to say it's for the best excuse there is....

Our baby girl arrived (6 days late!) on April 1 at 12:34pm.  She is absolutely perfect in every way and

she sure has given us more joy than we ever could have thought possible.

Here are a few of Ms Lily Ann's newborn pictures for you to enjoy!

This is what we refer to as her "smash face" :)  It always makes an appearance right

before she bursts out crying.

Precious as ever all cuddled up

I can't get enough of her baby feet.  She has some big feet for such a tiny thing!

 Love you precious baby girl!

SO...needless to say I've been missing and am currently in the process of getting back

in on the action.  My camera has mostly been used to take thousands (no joke!) of

pics of Lily.  She's going to be posing for mommy in NO time!!!
