Pictures from the Weekend

My apologies in advance for all those suffering from 'baby fever'...

I just can't stop taking pictures of my beautiful niece..

I mean especially since I wanted to play with my new camera anyway!

 Which I am 100% in LOVE with. I can't put that thing down.

 (Kisses from big brother- He ALWAYS puckers :)

I'm awake! (for like two minutes!)

Roxy giving her Daddy a hug. She loves him.

Saturday I went to a Shutterfly Party and Sunday I hosted a Scentsy Party!!

 It was so much fun and we did very well! Thanks everyone!

(I was caught off guard below!)

Roxy's not used to big flash on this camera yet...haha

Scruff mutt :)

All these pictures are untouched. I uploaded them on my work computer since I need to get an adapter for my home laptop for the new memory card. I can't wait to edit some pictures from the new camera though!

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Merry Christmas To Me!

So, after much debate, I decided to upgrade. I sold my Sony HX1 to a friend and purchased a Nikon D3100! My interest in photography (as a hobby) has soared and I wanted something I can grow into and constantly learn more about. For months before I got the Sony I looked at the Nikon D5000, I knew I wanted an SLR, but ended up settling for less because I thought I wasn't ready. My Sony is really a great camera, and I will always recommend it, but I wanted more out of it than it was giving. Then I saw the recent release of the Nikon D3100 and thought- this is perfect. I got it for a good price on Amazon (plus I had a gift card)! I can't wait to start playing with it. I'm already looking up classes in my area to join to really get the full use out of it.

Merry Christmas to me :)

A Sure Sign...

that Christmas is coming!

Starbucks' red holiday cups made their debut yesterday and I, of course, had to have one. Not that I wouldn't have had my morning cup of coffee yesterday anyway. It was the start of the Christmas spirit for me, a kick off to the holidays! Now I'm writing my gift list for the family that we buy for and I'm ready to pull out decorations (okay not quite yet, but soon!) I don't want much myself, I've been fairly spoiled enough lately. My best gift yet is on it's way & I can't wait. I owe my hubby, big time. He's awesome. 

While I'm excited for the holidays, the cold weather can stay away. I like cool weather, but it's already getting too cold for me. And we could definitely go without having to shovel two feet of snow out of our driveway every weekend! Okay, I'm getting ahead of myself. But I just hope we don't have another winter like this..

(look how high it comes up to the stop sign!)

the princess only plays in snow for a couple minutes

I think this one of my first random ramblings post :)

Cutes In Costumes

Uh, really? Monday?

Blah- let's just get to Friday already! 

Happy November! I can't believe Thanksgiving will be here soon.

Time really seems to fly by lately, more than normal.

Anyway, here are some cute pictures from Halloween evening. 

My nephews & nieces about to go trick-or-treating!

Livi the Ladybug

Hub & nephew (the Alien from Toy Story)!

Hayden was Iron Man!

Buzz & Alien! (brothers)

 The whole group (minus Bailey- she was snug in the car) with two of Hayden's cousins (the pirate and princess)!

Roxy dressed up too. Though it was short lived and she would have rather just tore it up.

My Ladybug.
