Congrats Hubby!

My awesome hubby just got a promotion at the fire department... I'm so proud of him. He was promoted to Sergeant pretty quickly & now LIEUTENANT!!! (I keep thinking of Lieutenant Dan from Forrest Gump, ha!)


And a sidenote.... loving the warm weather & sunshine combined with this new lens! I'm growing partial to black & white, what's wrong with me? :)

New lens

I can't believe I'm so bad that I've fallen down on the job!!! You guys know I'm a color FREAK but I really think her eyes stand out in this BW. :) I was playing around with the camera in the yard yesterday.

Oh & by the way... diet update. UGH. I bought an exercise tape, some dancing CRAP. Anyway, I decide I'm gonna do it, so I pop it in. What feels like an hour later, I'm sweating, huffing & puffing, and the woman says "Now that you're done with your warm up...."

WHAT THE @#$*($%!????:????? WARM UP?!?!? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lady In Waiting

Okay I've heard that before but I have no clue what it refers to. Anyway, I'm so excited, I've ordered the Canon 24-75 L!!! YES, L GLASS BABYYYYY! I'm so excited. It's supposed to arrive tomorrow, I can't wait to get that beautiful, expensive little lens in my hands.
In the meantime, I'll share some random photos with you!

Most of you have seen this one, but oh goodness, HOW CUTE IS SHE?!?


And I'm sharing these, only because I took them as my husband was driving down the road & yelling at me for taking pictures! So pretty good if you ask me... HA!

Okay, I have no idea who this guy is, but he must be important to Anniston since they made a statue in his likeness.


Right as you turn into my subdivision- ha! You'd never believe there was a huge subdivision with this view across the road :)

Don't get this pic? Neither do I, but I thought the sky was cool, so I'm posting it. IT'S MY BLOG, I call the shots :)

Happy Birthday, Tucker

A little late - his actual birthday was March 8th - but I can't believe my baby turned seven. SEVEN! That sounds soooo much older than six. Silly I know. But I cried that morning when I watched him get on the school bus. He's growing up soooo fast.

I always buy the kids a birthday cake on their birthday for them to have at the house, then another for their birthday party. This year we're doing a pirate-themed party at the bowling alley. Ahoy matey! Never heard of a bowling pirate? Me neither! hee hee!

Redemption, Maybe?

Okay, okay, I'm a horrible mother. Can I redeem myself today??? Here's 2 of Tucker! He's all into reading to Jackson (who's taking the whole thing SO seriously!)... He's doing so good in school, it's amazing to me how quick kids learn. He's so stinking smart! (takes after his mom of course!)

Horsie

I just realized this morning that I haven't posted *any* pics of Tucker lately. So.... here's a couple of Cassidy. :D Took these yesterday in my dining room. I'm sure I've said this a million times, but I will be so glad when spring gets here, I've had enough of the DRAB winter colors. I'm thinking I like the BW better here. I just don't know about my green walls as a backdrop??
