Wordless Wednesday's {Pool Time WK3}

Summer time......

I am looking forward to Summer time. There will be a lot of swimming, splashing, and fun in the sun. Starting with Memorial Day 2012.

{Linking up for Wordless Wednesday with Paper Mama, and Parenting by Dummies}

p.s. I dislike picasa. There, I said it. I am not a fan. It just is not high tech enough for me. I want to learn new ways of editing my photos. I do not just want to click a button and it fix everything for me. Or so the picasa ghosts think they are fixing everything. The reality is that I have a lot to learn, and maybe, just maybe picasa is okay for a beginner. I have never been the type of person to start with the easy steps first. I am the  throw out the instructions usually and go off of the picture on the box kind of person. I may make things difficult, but that is how I learn.

Week{end} Wrap up

This weekend was so much fun. It was packed full of excitement. Saturday was spent at the softball field watching Anessa play in the playoffs for her high school . Her team did really well. They won both of the games they played. Final score was 16-1, and 18-1. They crushed them to say the least. Later that night we took Averie over to my parents house to spend the night. Then headed to grab something to eat and to the movies. We went and saw, "What to Expect When you are Expecting." It was pretty funny in parts. Not that great overall. The couple behind us made it pretty hard for us to enjoy it as well.



The result of SOFTBALL.... Wear SUNSCREEN people!

Sunday was the big anniversary surprise. Brian planned the whole thing on his own. I had the opportunity to sleep in on Saturday, but the excitement woke me at about 7am. I was up and ready to go by 8am. Talk about excited right! We were Averie and Anessa free, thanks to Grandma and Grandpa.

We were off....

 We detoured from the original plan and had breakfast at Gilwoods Cafe in Napa Valley, California. It was so yummy. One of the best breakfast I have had in a while. We then drove to Pacifica. This might sound cheesy, but Brian found a Taco Bell on the ocean. We love Taco Bell, isn't he sweet. I do admit that we passed up on the opportunity to have Taco Bell beach side for a different resturant. We were so tired Saturday night that we had Taco Bell then. Two days in a row is a little too much Taco Bell. We stopped at the ocean and took a walk along the beach. Brian found a beautiful sea shell and two starfish. He felt so lucky to have found one starfish that when he found the second one he thought we should go out and play the lottery. From the beach we went to a restaurant called the Miramar. It was very nice and the food was delish. Okay I had a salad, how can you go wrong. The Mimosa was a treat though. I figured that it was our anniversary day and that I should have some champagne to remember the day. The end of the day came and we decided to head home. On the way home we decided to stop at CAL and watch the Women's Softball team play Arkansas. It was a great game, and a great way to end the day. I love you Brian, and thank you for being a great husband to me and father to our beautiful girls.

p.s. I am still working on getting photoshop. I have a slough of photos that need downloading and editing. I am so behind!

At the Movies. {sorry about the quality}

{Black & White} Wednesday

Just a brief update on my goals progress. I have been taking lots of walks. I have not been to the gym, but I am walking every chance I get. The saving thing is rocky. We are at that point in the month where things get a little tough. I think we might have a handle on it but we will see. Life is a roller coaster ride, lots of up and downs. Just like on a roller coaster you scream when u go down! I have taken a ton of pictures. Now I just have to download, edit, and post. Where on earth am I going to find the time for that. I love it so much that I will make the time darn it. *smiles*. Lastly I will be testing my organizational skills on Saturday. May 22nd is Brian and my two year anniversary. Yahoo!! So the plan is to take Averie to my parents Saturday night, so she can spend with them all day Sunday. That means I have to pack her up for one night, and one day. I think that lately I have been doing well preparing and organizing. Maybe I can get Brian to post on here and validate my thoughts.

So it is Black & White {Wednesday}. Yay! I have a bunch of awesome, and cute pictures. However, I am posting from my iphone, so until tonight this is the teaser that you get. I plan on starting the editing process on my SOOC photos tonight.





Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to ALL the Mommy's out there!

I think that there are lots of things planned today so I will check back in a little later. Until then I will leave you with a photo of me and my boo boo.

{ps. I am going to try my hand at editing a few of my photos on photoshop. The adobe website has a 30 trial of CS6 available, what the heck mind as well see if I like it before I fork out the big bucks for it.}

The start of Insta Friday!

I plan on taking a lot more photos. So check back soon. I think I am going to start Insta-Friday. Insta-Friday is a story of the day told in Intagram photos. I think it is very clever. I love to take pictures so this should be easy peasy for me. Here we go. Wait I am cheating a little. These were taken over the last week. I think a slide for this week is in order. I also think that Black and White Wednesday is a good one too.
