Here’s another entry into You Capture over at I Should be Folding Laundry.  Hope you like it!

 

 

You Capture: Color

Ok, so I know that it’s been awhile.  I’ve been in a blog funk lately.  I haven’t felt like I have anything to say.  But I have been busy learning photography, and I am LOVING it.  I have decided to turn this blog into a place to post my photos w/ a little bit of family happenings here and there. 

Anyway, I’ve decided to join I should be folding laundry’s You capture weekly challenge.  This picture was taken at the Bellagio in Vegas.  I love the hand blown glass on the ceiling and take a picture of it every time I’m there. 

Want to play?  Head on over to I should be folding laundry for the rules.

Nope, not dead. . .

just busy! Found a giveaway that I really want to win, tho! Go check it out at V&Co! Stick around and check out her blog! She has some good stuff on there. Plus she's funny!

Blessed. . .

 

to know I’m a daughter of God. . .

And so incredibly thankful for that knowledge!

My Baby is . . .

 

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Disney World catch-up

Still trying to catch up on our Disney World trip.  I still haven’t finished editing most of the photos yet, but here are a few that I have edited.

It’s a marathon post folks, with lots and lots of pics with more to come another post.  Bare with me!

 

This is Mike’s Grandma Dena and her husband Dick with the boys.  It’s the first time she had ever seen the boys, but she is always sending Christmas gifts to them (thanks Grandma!).  We were all so glad that they were able to drive down from Atlanta to be with us for a few days.

Michael was just giddy w/ excitement!  He couldn’t wait to show the boys DW!

Joshy and Mara held hands almost the entire first day.  They were so cute!  Mara is posing here for the camera.  She is hilarious!

The whole gang (almost) at the character breakfast on Mother’s Day.  We missed Chris and Marlea, but they were out celebrating their anniversary that day. 

 

It was so much fun to watch all the kids enjoy the Pooh Bear, Eeyore, Tigger, and Piglet.  We were actually there so long that we were able to see them all twice.  It was a perfect Mother’s Day breakfast.  Thanks Papa!

BTW if you notice Bryan.  He didn’t care so much about the characters.  He just wanted the food!

The kids got to dance w/ Stitch and give Buzz a hug!

Joshy got to drive the cars at Autopia!  A dream come true!

 

Grandma Dena got to ride the Carousel!

 

I got to love on a hot and tired Bryan.Last, but not least, Michael got to show his boys a place he loves.  This daddy was in heaven!

Happy Anniversary

 

Our eternity together began 4 years ago.

I love you, sweetie. 

Happy Anniversary!!!

I dare you not to sing along!

Cuz, I sure didn’t!  Umm. . . maybe!

Testing

Am I just way behind times, or is this window live writer thing new?  Anyway, I just heard about it and I am hoping that it will make things easier for me.  I seem to have a really hard time sitting down and posting lately.  It’s not like I am not checking on facebook or other blogs about 3 times a day, so what’s my deal?  I’m gonna try and post a pic.  I hear this thing has amazing editing capabilities and all sorts of fun things to do to your pics.

I think that there is definitely a learning curve, but hopefully I will be able to figure it out soon.  I do really like it tho.  BTW does anyone else use this, and if you do, how do I access the plug-ins i downloaded.  One other thing.  Do you all see my font, or does it not show up if you don’t have the font installed on your computer? 

Tips and Tricks, anyone?

Disney World Trip Day 1

We all know what a bad blogger I am. So sorry! I can't believe we have been home for just over 2 weeks now and I haven't even blogged about it yet. YIKES!

We had an awesome time. Our flight left out of Vegas at around 12 am Friday morning, so we definitely had a long day Thurs and Fri. I was really nervous how the boys would be on the flight. It truly was one of my worst fears of the whole trip. They did really well up until the time we put Joshy is his seat (First Class, BABY! Thanks again, Papa!).

I don't think he knew what the heck was going on. Needless to say, he had a minor melt down. I'm pretty sure the peeps on the plane were THRILLED to be traveling with 2 toddlers on a red-eye. After we got moving, tho, Joshy mellowed out and we were able to enjoy a (mostly) quiet flight. We landed at the Dallas/FT. Worth airport at about 5 am local time and had to change planes. We were pretty worried about this situation, too. How would the boys handle being up almost ALL nite? Would they have a major melt-down right there in the airport? Would I have a major melt-down right there in the airport? Nope. . .none of it happened. The boys were angels. Joshy enjoyed riding the train to the next terminal (Thanks MR. Pilot man for showing us the way.) and we waited there for our next flight into Orlando.

The boys were perfect on the flight. Since it was light outside, Joshy really loved looking out the window at all the big planes, and Bryan, well Bryan pretty much slept the whole time! YIPPEE!!!

We arrived in Orlando at about 11 am local time. Papa Dave met us at the airport and handed us over our rental car. By the time we got to the condo and got settled into our room, I was done. Yep, stick a fork in me! All done! Done-zo! No Mas, por favor! Sleepy-sleepy time!
