Giveaway!

July 31, 2008 – 8:16 am

Don’t you just love the chance of winning prizes just by putting your name in a hat! 

In an effort to help with the high cost of gas, I am going to do a drawing for  a $50 gas card.

All you have to do is leave a comment with your name and if you want to say how cool I am for doing this, that would be nice too (but it will not help your chances of winning, sorry).   Be sure to provide your email in the field where it states it will not be published.

Deadline to put your name in the hat is Monday, August 4th at 5pm eastern time.   One entry per person please.

Then I will put the entries in a hat and let Rox pick out a name. 

And yes, family and friends can enter.  The only person not allowed to enter is my hubby Bruce.  He gets enough goodies from me!

The rocking chair belonged to Ava’s great grandmother.

Her mommy said she liked sepia tone pictures.  Thought I would give it a shot and I like it.

Love this one!

Brian Campbell

July 28, 2008 – 6:17 pm

Little Campbell’s due date was last Friday but he wanted to wait a couple of days before arriving. Jessica woke up early Sunday morning realizing that her water finally broke.

Joey rushed her to the hospital to begin the wonderful process of pushing a baby out into this world. It was ‘wonderful’, right Jess. giggle giggle.

Introducing little Brian Campbell.

7 lbs. 2ozs, 20 inches, July 27th, 9:17pm

A brand spanking new mommy.

A little Daddy love. Look how small the little pumpkin is.

Joey changing Campbell’s diaper for the very first time. It was pretty funny ’cause in the process of the change, Campbell decided he wasn’t done yet. Joey did great. Calm, cool and collective.

Visitors.

More Campbell goodness.

Congratulations you two.

I can’t wait to hear all kind of cute little Campbell stories from his proud mommy.

The M Family

July 24, 2008 – 7:03 pm

So the day after Jamie Claire’s birthday, we packed up her family and headed to Piedmont Park for some fun family shots.

I love this shots because of the skyline!  And no, Daddy’s tummy is not that big.  If you look closely, Jamie has her foot stuck in his shirt and is poking it out.  I need a photoshop expert to help me out so I can give Jeff the washboard tummy that is really underneath that shirt.

Sometimes you get very happy accidents.  I was begging Jack to run towards me so I could get the shot, but he ran straight down the hill towards his Daddy, going as fast he could.  I aimed and clicked.  I got it!  One of my new favorites.

Steph and her little man.

Jeff and his little girl.

I got to spend yesterday with two of the cutest little cousins.  They were vacationing and wanted some fun shots at beautiful Rosemary Beach.

Here is little Laurie and Jackson!

Sweet Jackson.

I almost got this hand standing thing figured out.

I have my ‘Ugly Betty’ and everything is right with the world.

Don’t hate me ’cause I’m beautiful.

One last shot with the whole gang.

Jamie Claire’s 2nd Birthday

July 23, 2008 – 7:19 pm

Jamie Claire had her birthday party this past Saturday. Rox and I packed our bags and headed to Atlanta for a fun filled weekend.

The theme was butterflies! She had a butterfly cake, pinata, cookies and even butterfly suckers (thanks to Grandma). There was even a crafting table where the little girls made little caterpillars out of egg cartons and glitter.

Slideshow will be up Thursday morning but here is a sneak peak for now.

Here she is in her wings.

Love this shot. She is just too beautiful for words.

Look. A cute little butterfly butt.

Daddy helping me with the pinata!

Can’t get too messy while eating my Elmo cupcake. Steph tells me that Jamie will not come down the stairs in the morning unless she is properly attired in the right bracelet. Hmmmm. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

The next morning I found them all in bed together cuddling.

Random Act of Kindness

July 18, 2008 – 6:12 pm

Life is a little overwhelming right now. My two little nephews aged three and four are staying with us. So I have three kids under five and one teenager in the same house!

Well, Bruce calls me today at lunch time to let me know he was picking up my car and getting it detailed for me. He waited around for two hours while they gave my car a good washing and detailing. This really is a big deal. Two whole hours that he could of used to play World of Warcraft!

It really is the little things in life that makes the world go around.

A great husband, a clean car… and enjoying a snickers bar in the clean car while heading off to pick up kids! Sweet.

I am going to wake up early tomorrow and fill his car up with gas.
