England!!!

I'm back!! And for those of you who don't follow my Facebook or Lucy Lime blog (and I can think of at least 10 of you), here are some pics that I did up quick yesterday!
More to come I'm sure!

It really was an amazing trip... we were only gone for 9 days (and two of those were travelling) but my gosh, we fit a lot in! East Grinstead, two twin sessions, a day in London, Stone Henge, Cornwall and the beaches, shopping, Cornish Cider Farm, i don't know how many pubs, family visiting, old cathedrals, ancient graveyards, TWO curries, Twickenham and Richmond, cream tea, took in some surfing (not me... Shannon's Brother in law!).... soooooo much!

About half way through the trip I got some serious home sickness and was counting the hours, minutes, and seconds until I got to go home. But it got better and we had a blast! Can't wait to go back with Ted to see Scotland.... definitely will have to make it a longer trip this time.

It really is amazing to be in a place that holds soooo much history. I just couldn't wrap my mind around the though that people had been living their lives there for hundreds and hundreds of years... the architecture was just amazing and I don't think anything blew my mind like St. Pauls Cathedral. We weren't allowed to take pics but Shannon held her camera down at her hip and snap some shots... they turned out AWESOME and hopefully she'll post them on our Lucy Lime blog. Anyways, here's a few pics!

Boating Fun!

Ted's parents just bought a boat and we headed down there to take a ride for it's maiden voyage! We all had so much fun and we can't wait to spend the summer on the ocean! The kids LOVE it (it has a little cabin underneath with a couple beds, a little kitchen and a bathroom). I don't think they came up the whole time!! LOL

It was a great maiden voyage, complete with sea lions, a huge scare with the boat almost rolling off the trailer into the water and a "visit" from the coast guard! FUN day! :)

Well... here.... pictures speak louder than words!!! ;)


Ok, so these pics posted backwards... start from the bottom and roll up! LOL




Those are Massive sea lions we found on the shores of Sucia Island.

ENGLAND, BABY!!!!

OH. MY.GOSH!!
I am sooooo super excited and sooooo super thankful because I am being flown to England to photograph Shannon's (my biz partner) little sisters new twins that are being delivered in 4 hours!

Let me start by saying that I have been two places in my life.... Vegas, and... Winnipeg. Right. So, you get how amazingly excited I am to have the opportunity to travel across the world to see a different place, a different culture, world monuments and travel with one of my bestest friends!

We leave May 2nd at 5:00pm (what a way to spend a 30th birthday! ... but that's for a whole other post!) and we'll be back May 10th. Wow. I simply can't believe it.

If anyone has any travel advice, feel free to leave it in the comments, cause I have NO IDEA what I'm getting into!!!

My Niece

While we're on the topic of nieces and nephews... Emme was at a newborn shoot of mine a while back and she was sooooo good! While mom was feeding baby, I took some shots of Em and her "cheer faces"! That's right... Emme has become a cheerleader! I think she has those faces down. LOL

My Nephew

Our neice and nephew stopped by very briefly to die some eggs today (crappy snapshots to follow!!).
Tried to photograph Reid cause he is so cute and has such gorgeous eyes (not to mention he's the only one of the bunch that is still at the age that will give you natural looks and facial expressions). The best he would let me do is take a picture of his sad face while holding on for dear life to Papa. Ah well... it's still cute!!!

My New Mac Photobooth

So as some of you know, I am a recent mac convert. And might I just take a moment to say... I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Did you know that computers are made to work?!?!? I mean, no lagging, no "Not Responding" messages, no restarting to get something to work properly... no, this thing just purrrrrrs baby! And all the programs it comes with is pretty sweet too! Programs to make movies, make music, edit photos... and my photobooth!!!

Enjoy!













Now we all know where she gets her creepy tongue trick from!!!! ;)

Spiderman... kinda.

This is Jake's version of Spiderman. Well it is red and black. I bought this ladybug costume for Ash's third Halloween when she was two... she wound up going as Fiona instead. Jake wears it every day now.

At least I know the costume is getting some use. LOL


Edited to Add: Since the posting of this video our little lady but...er.... I mean Spiderman can now scale the entire washer and gets stuck up there about once an hour. LOL
