Spookiness

Can anyone tell me all the spooky things that are going on with this picture? On one of my recent trips to GA, my cousin and I went through a 200 year old cemetary. I was fascinated with all the old graves and took a lot of pictures. This one and one other, however, made my skin crawl more than the rest.

Pictures of Kylee from my trip to Ga

I took these pictures during my trip to Georgia last week. Kylee is the sweetest baby and I loved getting to hold her and kiss her soft little cheeks.

The 2 pictures below are from when she was taken to get her pictures made with the Easter bunny. I loved her frilly behind in her tights...too cute.

Me and Kylee...so not a good picture of myself. Oh well! :) Hope you all enjoyed these pictures!

Georgia on my mind.

I recently spent the Easter holidays in Georgia with family. I love Georgia, it is so beautiful there. On Saturday, my cousin Tonya and I went to Athens and walked around downtown, through the University of Georgia campus and a historical cemetary. The next entries that you will see from me will all be Georgia activites. I had a blast and seriously am thinking about moving there.

The flowers and trees are all in full bloom on campus....they are simply breathtaking. It was the perfect day to walk around the campus and town.

I couldn't help but take my flip flops off and put my toes in the grass. It was so green and soft. I really wanted to lay down in it and take a nap!

My Precious God Daughter

2009-03-28T20:53:00.000-07:00

Here is another shot of my Alayna. I kept her all day today so that her parents could visit with the twins in the NICU. The twins are doing well. They are a couple ounces above birth weight now. They are also tolerating Mommy's milk through a feeding tube and have had no infections. They will get to come home around the end of May, they are estimating.

She and I went and got her hair trimmed(although its messy in this pic..lol) and shopped for her some summer things at Wal Mart. I love my baby, she is turning into such a beautiful little girl!

Please

I said that this was going to be mainly a photo blog, but this issue that I want to write about is very close to my heart. Most of you who know me, know that I have been a troop supporter since forever. I had my first official adopted soldier when I was in the 6th grade. He was deployed to Okinawa and he became a very important part of my life. After he came home he visited and stayed with my family on numerous occasions. So, this issue has been a big deal for me almost my entire life. There is a war going on right now. Many of us have loved ones, co workers, etc deployed right now. They are serving our country and trying to help the Iraqi people have a better life. Would it hurt for us to give a little of our time, energy and money to keep their moral up? Soldier's Angels is a great organization. I have been a member since 2007. Currently, we have 1,141 soldiers waiting on adoption. What if your loved one was on that list? It doesn't take a lot to brighten someone's day. You are only asked to send a card/letter per week and a care package a couple of times a year. How much you do is up to you. It doesn't have to be expensive.

Why don't you do something good for someone else today and click the link above. You won't regret it. I promise.

This is my friend, Robert. You may recognize him from the Man's Best Friend entry.
He and I have endured many trials and been through a lot together, but through it all we have remained friends and I cherish him dearly. Sorry that I kinda cut a little of his head off but it was my famous one hand self portraits!

This is my youngest God Daughter, Alayna. She is 2 1/2. Her mom gave birth to twins, Kade Richard and Kayson-Grace on Sunday. She was only 28 weeks along. The babies are doing pretty well, they have some lung problems, so please keep them in your prayers.

It took me forever to get these few shots of Reba...she did not want to cooperate! Everytime I would go to point the camera in her direction, she would turn away, like in the above shot and meow this pitiful sound....such a drama diva cat! My mom has her very spoiled!

A Beautiful Day

2009-03-17T20:01:00.001-07:00

Today was a gorgeous day. We have had some really crappy weather the last few days...Wet, Rainy, Windy...just plain yucky. The highs were 70 today and sunny skies! Much better. I had to capture the pretty day above.

Playing With Photos

Babies

2009-03-15T18:58:00.000-07:00

These beautiful little girls were born to my cousins a couple of weeks ago. They were born 12 hours apart. Their moms are first cousins. Their moms did not discuss their names with each other, but came up with Jordan Elizabeth(left) and Kylee Elizabeth(right) on their own. Their moms, Amy and Kayla had their first braxton hicks contractions on the same day and knew in their hearts that their babies would be born at the same time. Amy was scheduled for a C section on Feb. 28 and Kayla went in labor on her own on Feb. 27. Kayla had Jordan right before midnight of the 27th and Amy section was scheduled for 11 am on the 28th. How ironic is that? I, as well as the rest of the family hope that the girls grow up to be bestfriends.

Welcome

2009-03-13T20:00:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my blog. I use to blog a long time ago on Aol, and I have recently realized that I miss it. I don't really have time to write long great interesting entries, so I have decided to make this a photo blog. I love photography and find great enjoyment in the memories that I am able to capture this way. I hope you will enjoy.

My next entry will contain photos from a recent trip to Memphis and Nashville.
