Mummy's little monster

Have a frightfully spooky Halloween!!!

Quiet time

As much as I love playing with my son, I love when he goes down for a nap. It's my time to do "things" around the house . . . or take a quick power nap - tee hee. On this day, I decided to sneak into his room (with my new speedlight OF COURSE) to snap a few shots of him sleeping.

My new toy...

I am proud to announce that I am an owner of the Nikon SB800 speedlight!!! Wonder what it is?!? It's currently the most advanced flash in the Speedlight range! With this new toy, I'm able to bounce light off the ceiling to avoid the awful mullet shadow the regular flashes cause. Here's some pictures I captured in my dark dining room.

Birthday Celebration

This year is a milestone birthday for both Joe and I . . . the big THREE-O!!! Thank you all for coming out to celebrate our birthday. Joe and I are thankful to have NUTTY friends like you all!

This is my disclaimer before you view the pictures below . . . I wasn't the photographer! LOL
It's the birthday girl! Hey, this is my first picture on this blog! YAY, I finally made the cut! =)

It's the birthday boy. He's slap-happy from all the Coke he's been drinking.
Hey, more people drinking Coke!

Lake Geneva

For Joe's birthday, he wanted to spend it with his family. We decided to take a road trip to Lake Geneva - it was an absolutely perfect weekend! After checking into our hotel and letting Cami play at the waterpark, we decided to head downtown for a walk. It was so warm for a midwest October evening! The sun was setting as we were strolling. We took a quick break from our stoll for Cami to enjoy his favoriate snack - Cheerios! Like the chocolate conversion?!? This was the first time I used this action for the affect. Like all kids, Cami LOVES the water. Daddy and Cami were getting a bit wet playing with the fountain. This picture was on the blury side, but thanks to photoshop, I was able to sharpen the image.

The next morning we headed to the beach where Cami played in the water AGAIN. We had such a good time in Lake Geneva...looking forward to another road trip here in the near future. Hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend Bunny!

hapPEE BIRFFday Bunny!!!

My big baby turned the big Three-O today. I've celebrated 13 birthdays with him - and looking forward to celebrating dozens more! Happy birthday Bunny! I LOVE YOU. . .always and forever!

Apple Picking

My family enjoyed a warm Sunday afternoon apple picking at Kuiper's Family Farm. If you haven't noticed, we hang out with Cecilia & Huan's family quite often since their kids are constantly on this blog.

Miss "Chinese Superstar" Chloe is patiently waiting for her turn on the hayride.
After Cami stops picking apples from the ground and realizes there are apples on the trees, he starts picking and throwing them on the ground to get the next one.
Everyone is enjoying the last warm days of summer.
