Holy Crap...this makes me laugh!

Ella has the funny smile that she does and i sometimes say she looks chinese when she does it... but everytime I see her do it I laugh harder and harder. i just love it!

On another note... we did some pumpkin carving this weekend. Kaleb had a lot of fun with this and did a great job all around. Every once in a while he had to take a break cause he said his arms were tired! :)


Also took some classes with Karen Russell this weekend... had a great time and was totally inspired to get out and shoot some new stuff again. Now I just have to find the time to do that... this week i have midterms at school so it may have to wait until this weekend or sometime next week :(

One more thing from this weekend... I met with a spiritual reader this weekend... and holy cow was that interesting. I've always been on the fence with that sort of stuff, but boy did she have some interesting things to say.
i think that's it for now...

A self portrait... sorta

Yesterday I went to the Pumpkin Patch with my sister, Kaleb and Ella. (andrew was busy working... yup he has a job!!!) So anyway, I NEVER get in the pictures but today decided to turn the camera onto Ella and I... and this is what we got! It's not perfect but it's us... together... and that's all that matters... right?
The weather was beautiful and we had a great time picking pumpkins. Kaleb was our official picker... he always does a great job with this. He even pulls the wagon around with all the pumpkins in it!

Then the nice guy that worked at the patch offered to take a picture of the four of us... which also is a rare occurrece. We never get to ALL be in the picture!!!

Still here...

just not really blogging these days. School has been extremely time consuming. I'm taking a lighting class right now and WOW is it way more challenging then I ever expected it to be. Maybe as the class goes on and I get a little more confident with the pictures I'll post some shots on here.

right now I seem to be consumed by fall tv in the evenings and one of my guilty pleasures is Dancing with the Stars. My main obsession with the show is Maksim. Holy Cow... is he beautiful. I seriously could care less what happens on this show as long as he is on it. I totally think he should be nominated as the next Bachelor. (which is another show that I have been sucked into as usual.) Anyway... here's some Maksim eye candy for you to enjoy.... i think i heart him!

So... the boys won!

The game was great last night~ it's really pretty cool to be down at the park with all of the playoff excitment going on. Now we can only hope that they can hold on for these last few games and get some help from some other teams as well!

In other news... I've been addicted to Etsy for a few weeks now and find myself making purchases on a regular basis. Here's a little something I picked up from Elsie's site...

She arrived in the mail a few days ago and I can not wait to get a frame to put her in and hang or place in my room!

Well~ TGIF! and can't wait to get some scrap time this weekend.

Going to the Phillies Game!

Okay, so I'm not exactly the biggest baseball fan and to be honest I have no desire to watch the sport on tv at all! I finally made it to a game for the first time this year and must admit I really liked it a lot! That being said, I'm heading to my third game of the season tonight... and I think I have a little baseball crush on Chase Utley. He's my baseball hero!

Let's hope Chase and the boys can win again tonight and help secure a spot in the playoffs. GO TEAM GO!!!

Okay... So it's been a while~

since my last post... i really don't have any excuse for not posting, but for those of you that actually read this little blog of mine I apologize! I'm currently on fall break from school, but getting ready to go back on Monday. As usual I only like to post when I have pictures... so I share with you some pictures from my final week of classes last quarter. (as usual, andrew was one of my models)


These were two of my favorites, I'm so lucky that he still lets me take these pictures. I sometimes feel like I have to make up for all of the pictures I missed when he was younger and it never occured to me to pick up a camera. (at least not as much as i pick it up these days)

This weekend I'm looking forward to getting some crop time in. It's been a while and I'm really looking forward to it. So, basically that's all i got. I'm sorry I don't have any other exciting news. :)

Kim's boy has a beard...

On Friday night Kim and I saw Rocco Deluca again...no silly not in Philly again, in Baltimore of course. The show was great (as usual) but this time Rocco was sportin' a full-blown lumber-jack beard!

Other then the concert this weekend has been consumed by getting ready for finals this week. Oh, and I babysat for my sister last night, they had a wedding to go to. This was supposed to be a rather challenging night for me... it would be the first time I was putting Ella to bed~ all by MYSELF! That said... she was an ANGEL...PERFECT! She didn't cry at all and simply went to sleep like the perfect princess she always is for Aunt Stess!

On another note... THANK GOD football season is back! LOVE IT!
