for the trip that my husband surprised me with; a trip to Walt Disney World to visit this guy:famous-cartoon-character-mickey-mouse

and today I got to order a lens for the camera to accompany us on our trip thanks to my grandma giving us a $100 gift card to Amazon.com

An AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR for my Nikon D40x. Oh so excited! Can not wait to get to use it.

I have to say that this has to be the best week ever! Thank you to all my loving family, I am feeling very spoiled.

I Heart Faces: Hilarious Outtakes

 

 

Those always serious comical girls at I Heart Faces are at it again. This weeks challenge is to post one five outtake photos. Having two boys, I should be able to produce one or two five don’t you think?

DSC_0569How about this one of Little Fire Chief stuffing his face? I was trying to get him to hold the hot dog up so we could see it, and this is what he came up with.

DSC_0755How about the faces on these ladies in their pjs? 

DSC_0100and Mr. Moo trying to figure out what to do with spaghetti on a fork.

DSC_0107_auand he figured it out. What a face!

DSC_0255_au   This is what I get when asking Little Fire Chief to look strong! lol.

Head on over to I Heart Faces for more laughter!

The Greatest Christmas Surprise

 

Merry Christmas a day late from our family to yours! 

Oh what a day it was.  Hubby had to work at 8 AM so we got up at 5:30 and opened presents with the boys and my parents.  Little Fire Chief made out like a bandit, receiving a Star Wars Space Ship, Transforming Wall-E, 159 Piece Train Set from Melissa and Doug, and an array of new clothes.  Mr. Moo two tents, First pair of rain boots, and other miscellaneous toys. Those boys will have new toys to play with for months! 

The best surprise of all though was mommy’s gift from Hubby! It’s a surprise for the boys too, but they won’t know until we get there!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I Heart Faces: Constructive Feedback Friday

 

I_Heart_Faces_Feedback_jpg

So last night I was given Photoshop Elements 8! *grin* However, I have not taken it out of the box, and it made it’s way over the hill to work with my husband this morning.  So here’s what I want to do. I want to submit a photo that I have not edited with Elements, and ask the lovely contributors over at I Heart Faces for their help!

DSC_1677I love this photo of hubby and Mr. Moo, but as you can see it’s way too dark.  I know I can add some light with Aurora, but what else does it need?  

Thank you I Heart Faces contributors.

Ketchup and a giveaway

Dear Readers:

I am so sorry that I have been such a slacker when it comes to blogging lately.  You see, there have been a few things going on in our little world lately which have made time scarce and blogging nearly impossible. So today, I am going to play ketchup Catch-Up! Make sure to read all the way to the end for the really good part!

Here’s the updates:

1. We are looking at purchasing a home spending most of our off-time looking at houses with the realtor.

2. Mr. Moo has discovered that he can climb and reach most everything in our house making mommy a very busy lady.

3. We have been traveling back and forth from my mother in laws for the holidays as Hubby’s sister and (soon-to-be) brother in law have been visiting from Washington every few weeks.

AND last but certainly not least. . .

4. I am 2.5 months pregnant with our third child. This go around I have been extremely nauseous all day (almost to the point where I can not get up off the couch at times).  I have been tired and spacey. I decided that it would be best to take it easy and not over extend myself. Please pray that we deliver a healthy baby. I am secretly hoping for a girl, but of course will be happy with whatever God has planned.

5. Our very first  Giveaway!
