Saturday night we got to go out to celebrate a dear friend’s bi.rthday. It was so much fun. We had barbeque and then went to the MarbleSlab for icecream. It was yummy.
Here’s me and my hubbie…
Me and one of our good friends…
And the fellows…
Have a great day!

Tonight we went and watched the boys practice football. And since there’s not much to do I try it get a few shots in while I’m waiting……and then a theme arises, a moment in time that stands still for just a minute.
Tonight it was watching my daughter’s emotions play across her face as she learned what it felt like to swing on a fence gate. Wow. How simple and great life can be!!
Maybe I’ll give it a try… swinging on this thing afterall!!
I don’t know though because my feet feel a little weird leaving the ground.
But I really think it was worth it. This is kinda fun. Look Mom!!!
And I get a big smile at the end for a job well done!!! You go girl!!!
What a simply perfect moment on my birthday. I love the creative side of photography. The part that makes me feel the moment.
IN HIM,

Yep, it ‘s March 12th…..it’s getting awfully close to the big 42!!!! YIKES
But it’s also time for …..
FLAG FOOTBALL
And of course with flag football comes demanding 2 year olds chanting "I want some drink mommy"! NOW!!
And along with that MUST come the fun apart from what’s going on on the field . So here’s the record of that tonight………………
Let’s see who can slide into home base and get their entire little bodies Filthy filthy filthy!!!!!
And of course we must end with (or really begin with) the painted toes that look just like mommys when she came home from her vacation. 
There are so many firsts in a little girls life and today is the first time she’s ever had her toes painted to look just like her mommas!! Yippee Girl!
Our daughter is the only girl in our family…well, besides me, of course. It’s so fun to watch her grow up after the blessing of three sons. I truly believe they take as much delight in her as my husband and I do. Here are a couple of pictures of them helping her get all dressed up…
That ‘s what it takes to be a girl in our house….frilly dress and a light saber!!!
And while she was getting all dolled up Fred was playing a little hide-n-seek.
Can you believe he’s only 8 months old??? He’s huge! He’s already so much bigger than his mom. It’s hard to believe he was just like this…
Have a great day.

This weekend my hubbie and I are spending time alone in Ocean Isle Beach, NC. Our favorite sitter, Caroline, is keeping all four kids.
Since I didn’t get to go with my husband to Arizona this year we planned this little get away to make up for some much needed time alone. Today we walked on the beach holding hands and crushing shells with our shoes. I learned something new about my hubbie today. He likes to step on shells and crush them like I do. There is something very rewarding about the "crunch" heard underfoot.
So while we’ve napped, eaten well, napped some more and thoroughly enjoyed this time together we will be so excited to see our kids again.
Reminds me…."For everything there is a season…"

It’s amazing what a couple of kids and can do with balloons. Our oldest sons have taken to body building with balloons.
I’m thinking they could start a business with this idea….
How do you like the look on their friend??? GRRRR…
And here is a picture my oldest son took my middle son and his best friend EVER. Of course they are joined by the newest addition to the stuffed animal club…the gorilla. Yep, Auburn Fans!
Today I finally learned how to do something on Photoshop I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. I learned how to take all the color out of a photo and add color back in in just one spot. It was so fun. Now I just have to get it online. Here are some photos from today. The sky was unbelievable blue today as you can tell in the pictures.
