Christmas Card pictures...

My friend asked me to do pictures for her annual christmas cards. Of course I said yes!!!
Drew is just over one, so he's big enough to not sit still, but not quite old enough to listen to reasoning to try and get him to stay put, lol.
Either way, he's stinckin' cute!! All he wanted the the christmas tree balls! Nothing else!!!!
Eventually I did get some bead pictures, some wreath pics, and some with Christmas lights.
Overall, I was pleased with how they turned out. These were just a few of the ones I like. Now, I better get one of these Christmas cards!!!! LOLOLOL!

4 month belly shot

okay, so it is a little late, by over a week in fact but I has to buy a new computer and so it put off posting for a few days. It's not exactly round yet, but it has that inflated look. A couple pairs of my pants are just starting to get too uncomfortable, but it is always there, poking out in my shirt saying "hellop there", LOL!!!!!! The next belly shot will be posted around the 10th of November.

A few new home additions!!!!

I am always in the process of changing the house, even if it's little things. In another life I was an interior decorater I just know it!!!!! There are still things I need to do to the house, but here are some little changes Trent and I made recently: This is an armoire that luckily I didn't pay for (Thanks Jon!!!). I love that it closes away the entertainment clutter when not being used!
These are new double wroght iron curtain rods I got for my birthday.
I took the existing curtain rod out of the living room and put it in the diningroom and took away those hideous vertical blinds that were here whn we moved in....all broken and dirty GROSS!!!!! It looks soooo much better with them gone. Next I'd like to tackle all the awful gold fixtures in the house and the horrible wood trim we have! So, stay tuned for the next episode of "fin my house!" LOL!

On the rocks!!!!!

These are some pics I took at the beach where I grew up. It was darn cold out this evening. Even though it was sunny at home, when we arrived at the beach it was foggy,windy and freezing, but it made a much better effct than sun would have! I played with some different techniques here and you will noice at least one of these pics have a blue hue to them. That is on purpose!!!

29th birthday!!!!!

I started off the day with opening up my presents from Trent (which I got a UV filter for my camera and an awesome camera bag!!!!!

Then it was off to get an hour massage...which was probably my least favorite part of the day since it is now two days later and my back (skin and muscules) are still sore from how hard she pushed! Then it was luch time so we went out for lunch. We had Chinesse food whoch is our fav!!!!

Once home we did a lot of nothing. It was my day to relax so we watched tv etc. I put on cozy close and hing out with Trent. This is what posed a problem for future picture taking of the day. When I get cozy I rub my eyes so makeup is smudged everywhere...and lets not forget that I had on clothes that weren't pretty...but Trent was dteremined he was going to take pictures of all the gift opening. Let's just say I have them all, but I'm not going to post them all,LOL!!!!

I got 2 cakes which is pretty normal. One from Trent and one from mom. LOL, I certainly don't need to cakes!!!!!!!!! If I know I have them I will eat them, but I am seriously going to try not to this time because I don't think stuffing myself with icecream cake is NOT the best nutrition choice while pregnant!

Black and White nature series...

The valley where I live is such a great place to just drive around and look at the scenery. It's a great place to get photos, and that's just what I did!!!! This style of pic is called art photography...it doesn't appeal to everyone, but then some people buy it, frame it and put it up in their houses. LOL, there is a guy at our local mall every christmas who sets up his kiosk and sells his photography...and let me tell you, they are not cheap. HMMMM, maybe I will start selling mine!!!!!

Dory and Pacey...

OK...so I am the first to admit that my cute little Dory will terrorise the cats (which frankly sometimes I think they deserve it!!!!!). That aside Dory loves the cats, and while the little cat would never be caught dead snuggling with Dory, Pacey actually likes it!!!!
I mean seriously, how stickin' cute is that???? It looks like Pcaey is whispering in Dory's ear!!!! This snuggling happens all the time, but sniffing her ear was too cute! AND, Dory actually looks l8ike she is listening, even though she is deaf!

Mahone Bay...

I had just got my new lens for the camera so Trent and I decided that it would be nice to try it out (expecially since I had a sporting event to take pictures for that night)....so we decided to go to Mahone bay because it's a cute little place.
We asked Trent's mom to come along with us. We didn't do much. We took some pics, did a little walking around, had some lunch, and looked in a few shops. Of course, we couldn't leave Mahone bay without stopping at the Cheesecake Gallery (though as an after thought, I wish we had gotten it somewhere else because it was $20.00 for 3 small pieces of cheesecake!
There was a fire in Mahone bay that damaged a restaurant and another building. It seemed to be mostly at the tops of the buildings, but Trent wanted a pic of it so here it is!!
The scenery at Mahone Bay is lovely with it's boats, and churches and other intresting things! There is this place called the wooden monster and this is where I got the picture of the wooden bird. I though it was pretty neat!
The churches in Mahone Bay are well know because they basically stand side by side. EVERYONE gets photos of these and yes, I did to. They were doing some repair on them so I tried not to get too much of it in the photo...also during the day people park infront of them so it is IMPOSSIBLE to get one during the day without cars,LOL!!!
I cannot tell you how awesome my new lense is!!!! I was so far away from these churches. We actually drove away from them, and parked on the side of the road and I took these photos from across the water!!!! I wasn't even at full zoom when I got the individual churches!

A day with the nieces!

Well, actually it was visiting a number of family at a local campground, but most of the time it was spent with the nieces.
The is Grammy and Annika having fun in the pool. Taylor helpingAnnika put on her saftey vest. This is Taylor climbing the equipment. She seemed to pose at the top so I'm like "ok" and took the picture tho she did need to move a little to block the blinding sun, LOL!
Another pic of Taylor who loves getting her pic taken! This is Holly on her bike, smiling with her cute dimples! This is the face of concentration right here! She bikes, but has trouble starting. LOL, I don't know how many times I heard her say "this is so hard!" Holly in the pool, having a blast! There was a load of ducks by the pond. All of which woddled off when you tried to get a pic, and since the new lens has not arrived YET, I didn't have much zoom, SIGH!!!
I didn't stay for the fire, or I would have more pics,lol. But the sun was so hot that day and I had a headache and could tell that the heat was getting the best of me. I was not feeling well so home I came!
