You got to love the blue eyes

Happy Memorial Day!!!!!

Thanks goes out to my models too - they are always willing to pose for me so I can snap a few pics.

Good thing they are all cute :)

Happy "Belated" Mother's Day

Even though it was Mother's Day the day was not about me.....(in a way)

We spent the better part of the day at Six Flags Great Adventure.  The baby girl loves rides and it was such a gorgeous day so we took the trip out there.  Now for me I don't do rides (at least anymore) but I get conned into going on them and it usually involves the ride going in circles (which so isn't good for my vertigo) or something that goes high up in the sky (which so isn't good for my fear of heights).  However, I end up going on all the rides because my 4 year old's heart would be broken if "Mommy" didn't go on with her. 

The things we do for our kids....I wouldn't change it for the world!

Sam Sam showing off her bracelet that says she is 44" tall...she can now get on the Runaway Train.

I don't think I have ever seen her more excited.  My daredevil.

See that yellow dot up top....that is Sam and Daddy way up there.

(Funniest part was Matt said afterwards he was alittle scared of how high they were)

Another favorite ride of Samantha's is the Pirate Ship...she and Daddy like to ride in the back seat...

I opted to watch this time rather than go on.

This is more my speed...

walking around the park trying to find the different characters to take pics with.

Happy "Belated" Mother's Day

I hope your day was just as enjoyable as mine.

Annual Mother's Day Picture

It's always last minute that we end up doing our annual picture of the Grandchildren for my mother-in law for Mother's Day.  It's usually that so much is going on with life that I never have a chance to coordinate it with Holly or time just gets away from us.  It just so happened that today Holly needed me to watch the girls for a little bit so I of course grabbed my camera and grabbed some pictures of the girls.

I have to go searching through all my usb drives to find the pictures from last year....oh my have all 3 of them grown up....

Thanks for stopping by.....

See ya soon.....

LIFE....

While sneaking some of my daughters school snacks yesterday I read the back of the

 Goldfish Pretzel bag and thought how true it was.

It's all about the little things in life that make everything else all ok.

The Girl and her Beast

a.k.a...Samantha and Oscar

Yesterday it was a gorgeous day outside so we spent the better part of the afternoon playing in the backyard.  It wouldn't be right if I didn't have my camera with me.  While Miss Samantha was playing on her "play jeep" I was playing with my camera and it's settings.  I started off taking pictures of the flowers in our backyard but it wasn't working out the way I wanted because I had my big lens (70-200mm) on and it wasn't focusing the way I wanted to so I switched gears and started taking pictures of our 'baby boy" Oscar.  He is usually a good subject to shoot - however he is sometimes worse than the 4 year old because he doesn't stay in one spot for very long so I have to be quick.

Don't worry....I didn't just take pictures of the silly dog.  I also got some pics of the baby girl Samantha too....
