::knock, kock:: Anyone out there?

2009-04-30T12:04:00.004-05:00

I have been swamped at my normal M-F job for months, as you can see. The weather is getting nicer, so I'm getting anxious to pick up my camera again. I don't have a good excuse for neglecting it this long, but I'll just go forward from here.

If I still have any blog readers, please leave me a comment so I know you're out there. If you are, God bless you for sticking with me.

Not mine!

She my sister's sweet little girl, Joey. She is about 3.5 months old and is growing every day! She's going to be one big girl!

Fun in the backyard!

Just getting in some practice. Thought I would share.

Sneak peek - Family

2008-06-23T15:18:00.004-05:00

I had a great time taking family potraits for friends of ours. It was such a treat to have the whole group together!

We had a blast and I wish I would have taken more pictures. I think I say that way too often. I need to do something about it next time! ;)

We headed down their Friday night somewhere around 9 pm or so. The drive isn't bad at all, only takes a little over an hour. We stopped at a Taco Bell...where guys were trying to hit on us through our guys... to grab some good eats. Headed to the house and played some games. Since I was sick, I wasn't able to hang the whole night, but everyone else stayed up until around 4 in the morning! :O

The next day, we woke up and went to a friend of their's house to put out crab traps. We stayed there a while and then headed to the beach. Our dogs LOVED the water! We knew Crackers (our pittie) did, but Cheese normally hates the water. Something must have come over her because she was swimming in the ocean!

All in all, we had a great time. We loved seeing how happy our dogs were roaming the land and sea. Just one more excuse to get us property with a bunch of land one day. :)

Poor Lori got sick Friday night!

This is what I woke up to Saturday morning. 2 of the loves in my life! My husband said he just woke up and wanted to mow! He hasn't been on a riding lawnmower for a few years now. He loves it every chance he can get. He's such a redneck ;)

We went down to help them move some furniture there.

Jake! He is right around Crackers's age. They are so cute together!

Lori and Cheese

Tracey (mommy-to-be and mom of Jake), Jake, and Crackers

My fav! My hubby, Tracey, and Lori... and of course, Miss Cheese

My hubby, Cameron, Lori, Tracey, and Cheese

Love this pic too! It shows what the weekend was about - relaxing! (note:Cheese's bootay in the bottom right corner :)

Cameron and Lori - Are they not the cutest? I will be taking photos for them in the upcoming month, so stay tuned!

I lost my voice!

2008-06-02T11:29:00.006-05:00

I've been trying to get over a summer cold for almost a week now and I lost my voice this weekend! My only mode of communication is whispering, noises and made-up sign language.

Despite the fact that I'm under the weather, we had a great weekend. Friends of our convinced us to go to their parent's creek house by Sargent, Texas. We had a GREAT time! We were actually able to bring our pups with us, which we never get to do. I think that added to why we had such a great time. We were just able to pack up and leave. Didn't have to worry about getting someone to watch them. I'll be posting pics later today, so check back. :)

:sniffle:: I've been fighting off a summer cold all week long and I'm hoping its in its last days. Wish me well! :}

Last weekend, we went to my home side of town, Katy (we were really shooting in Cinco Ranch), TX to take some family portraits for friends of ours. Unfortunately, the weather wasn't cooperating with us, so we were only to get a few of the mom. She is a Real Estate agent here in Houston. More to come on her next week. In the meantime, enjoy these photos I grabbed while shooting.

Beautifully landscaped lake they have not too far from their house.

Lets get moving!

Tonight, I will officially become a gym member! Woohoo!! Trying to get fit for myself and my overall health. Having to wear a swimsuit in front of a bunch of people in about a month doesn't hurt for motivation either! :)

Well, its about time!

2008-04-24T13:38:00.004-05:00

Isn't it? I had my first human session with my sister 2 weekends ago. Thought I would share a few random photos from the day.

April Fools!

2008-04-02T14:09:00.003-05:00

Did you prank anyone yesterday? I know I did! I got away with TWO! Yes, I said two. Count 'em, 1, 2!!

First one was at work. Long story, so I'll spare you the details.

My second one was on my poor husband. Crackers, our crazy pittie below, has a history of destorying stuff. We have one room in our house in which EVERY wall has at least one hole. I will have to take pics one day. Talking about it just doesn't do it justice. He is also a dog-ini (Hudini. He has figured out how to escpae out of this crate. We now have to put those little rock-climbing hocks to keep his bottay in there. Anyway... My coworker, Maria, suggested a play a prank on David.... my wheels got turning and *click.* Thats it! I'll tell him Crackers had another one of his "hissy fits."

So, when I get home, I call hubby on the house phone. I said in a concerned voice, "Hey... Did you forget to lock his crate this morning?" His reponse, "No, I'm pretty sure I did. Why, did he get out?" In my most disappointed voice, I told him, "Yes, he did. You know how he ripped up the carpet the other day? Well, he did it again, worse. He also made more holes in the walls and he even managed to tear up a door." Then my sweetheart of a husband says, "You know he's gone, right?" Then I exclaim "APRIL FOOLS!!"... *click* "Hello?" I ask. Nothing. He hung up on me! I tried to call him back to reassure him I was joking, but he turned his phone off. Great. Now I have to wait until he gets home from the gym to talk. : /

A couple hours later, I hear his truck pull up. I got to open the door for him, as I always do, and I see his disappointed face. I open the door. He said, "So, where are the holes?" At this point I realized that he didn't think I was joking. He really thought I was serious. He though I just said "April Fools" so he wouldn't be upset anymore. Luckily, I was joking, this time at least.

Happy April Fools everyone!

Its about time I've posted! As promised, here are a few pictures from our weekend with my in-laws, celebrating Easter. Plenty to look at, enjoy! :)

"Gam-ma" and "K-K"

Dad and son

Oh no! The kite ran out of string and took off! No hope for it now.

Maybe...

Nope. Long gone. We saw it hovering in the same spot for a few mintues. It must have gotten hung up on something, but then it flew off.

"Paw-paw" and "K-K"

Woah! Its been over a month?

2008-03-24T14:17:00.002-05:00

I've been extremly busy at work and extremely lazy at home. Not a good combination. I've had pics of our pups to shar for a couple weeks now, but I haven't had time to upload them. I grabbed some more of our neice while we were having our Easter Day at my in-laws. I am hoping to post those tomorrow or at least by Friday.

We had a great long weekend. The hubster had off for Good Friday, so I decided I would join him and take the day off too. We went to the mall to get some summer shopping done, but we ended up walking away empty handed. Saturday, we went to another mall (Memorial City) on the way to my parent's house. This trip was a little more sucessful. I walked away with a new cute swimsuit and hubby got a pants, shoes and a shirt. We spent the rest of the day spending time with my family. It was great because I don't think we've seen them since Christmas! :O

Sunday, we spent the day with my in-laws to celebrate Easter. Our 2 y/o neice was so excited about searching for the eggs in the yard. She did pretty good for 2! I was a bad aunt and I eat up some of her candy. Pics of this day to come.

Happy Monday!

Great firends, priceless memories.

2008-02-18T12:44:00.000-06:00

I accidentally left my camera in the back of my friend's car. Hopefully I can get some from the other ladies to post on here.

We had a GREAT time. We stopped in Santa Fe to go to the first winery. It was very cute and quaint... out in the middle of nowhere really. We had the best lunch! They served us the BEST chicken salad with rosemary bread and a fruit and cheese platters. When I heard we were paying $11 for chicken salad, I was a little disappointed. I was amazed how good it actually was! It was grilled chicken breasts cubed, with dried cherries and other stuff - AMAZING! We ate below ground in their cellar. It was so romantic!

We then went to the next winery right on the Strand in Galveston. This one was more our "flavor." It was on a lot smaller scale, but it was very neat. The one wine I liked of all the ones we tried - the "Wine-a-rita!" hah! It was GREAT!! It was made with wine instead of tequila. $13.99 for the mix, plus $13.99 for the wine... I passed on taking it home. But it was good to say I found a "wine" I liked. :) We spent the rest of the night around the Strand.

Great friends, yummy drinks, delicious food, priceless memories.

Time for a good ole fashioned sleepover!

2008-02-15T15:40:00.003-06:00

This weekend, a few of the girls in our group will be heading to a couple wineries for toures and some tasting. After our long day, we'll be spending the night in Galveston for some much needed girl time.

Hope to bring you back some good pics. The weather's not looking so great, so cross your fingers for us and do a little chant:

Rain, rain, go away! Come again some other day!

The sky's the limit

2008-02-11T20:58:00.001-06:00

I took these over the weekend. I love the sky this time of year. I have never noticed how beautiful it is until just a few months ago. Now, I catch myself staring at it.

These were taken in my front and back yard.

Check back!

2008-02-11T12:58:00.001-06:00

I took a few pics this weekend, but I forgot to bring in my camera.
