We went to Floating Stone Campground this year to hang out on the beach. Here are a few shots that I just love! I don't go anywhere without my camera! LOL

Some new studio shots that I love! :)

Anyone want a two year old?????

.....Don't get me wrong, I love my children but the fact is that my two year old is driving me right up the wall!!!! He is soooo different from my first and I love him for that. I was so blessed with my first and he was the perfect baby and toddler. When you told him to not touch something, he wouldn't touch it. He did have his days when "the beast would emerge" but they were few and far between. And he took only a month to potty train.

When you tell T to not touch something, he gives you this look like, "seriously, now I just have to touch it!!" Sometimes I can handle it and he makes me laugh, and then there are those days that you have no patience to begin with and a crying, tantruming two year old doesn't help the situation any, and you just EXPLODE!!!!!!!!

I know it is just one of "those days" but I really wish I could start the day over because I love to cuddle him and have some play time but I have been trying to get the housework done and the kids keep getting under foot. I think I need to just worry about the house work later and play with my kids. Maybe it will get me in a better mood :) That is my resolution for June; to worry more about my kids than my housework. Wish me Luck!

My New Studio

I was so excited when my hubby brought home my studio stands and paper as a present for me!!! It was my son, T's, birthday the next day so I had to set it up and do his birthday photos! It was great to not have to worry about the backround and if there was anything that was taking away from my pictures :)

Our Caribbean Cruise 2010!!

I like the cruise but didn't love the cruise. I think I am more of an all-inclusive resort type of person. I felt really rushed while on the shore mostly because we couldn't really see it all. We had to rush back on the boat so they didn't leave us behind. I didn't see as much of Key West and Grand Cayman as I would have liked to. BUT.....we did get to go Kayaking in Key West, which was awesome!!! We also went snorkeling in Grand Cayman. Here are so pics from our experience. :)

the mangrove trees were enormous!!


In Miami and then onto the boat





I feel so blessed to have been in the right place at the right time for this picture

Our nature kayaking trip was a blast. I got soaked but it was a blast! Thank goodness for underwater camera cases.

We had a good time but next time, I think we will go somewhere to stay for a week .

My Lily

I have been really struggling with this situation. We are moving and the house that we are moving into doesn't have a backyard right now, and when it does it will be very small. Our dog is big and she needs a large backyard to play/exercise. She stayed with family while we were on our cruise and they had a dog for her to play with all week. Since coming back home, she hasn't been the same. She mopes around the house. I would get her another dog to play with but she is sooo big by herself..... So we are hoping to find her a good home that is on a farm or acreage and hopefully there will be other dogs there.


this is Lily when she was new to our house :)



my poofy baby :)
