Facebook

Okay I just spent like two hours on Facebook. It was really fun looking at everyone's pictures and seeing their families and what they have been up to. But I must say i am a bloger. You wouldn't know it for my lack of updates lately. But it is true. It was really nice to chat with some friends i haven't seen in like 6 years though!

So Neil, Anna and I went over to a friend's House last week and had our pictures taken. They have a beautiful back yard. And they even made us dinner! It was awesome! Here are a couple of the pics! Arn't we just the cutest little family!?!
Anna has been growing by leaps and bounds lately. Everyday she adds something new to her "I can do that!" list. We even had to lower her bed because she is now pulling herself up! It is just crazy! I left her in her room the other day and went to get ready and I could hear her working really hard and getting closer. And all of the sudden her cute little head popped around the corner into my bathroom. She is just SOOOO much fun. And get this she even let me sleep in until 10:30 today! Isn't that just AMAZING!

Wedding Photos

Brenda and I took pics at a wedding a few weekends back. I have never taken pictures at a wedding were the groomsmen were so fun and interactive. They were so fun to work with. Although most of the wedding pictures are in color, some of my favorites look so good black and white. I have spent about 30 hours working on these. This was my first wedding were I went all digital and did all my own processing. So I just wanted to share some of the fruits of my labor.

The bride's grandma actually picked out her shoes. Arn't they just adorable!





There is an elderly gentleman in their church who has this old car. And he brought it just so I could use it in pictures. They turned out soooo cute. We even took some out the back window!
I think I am definitely getting better each time around! And I am learning to be more relaxed and have fun with it. I am still having a hard time not just putting everyone in a nice pretty row. But when you have 14 people what else I you supposed to do with them?

Nope! Which is a good thing!

Well, just to let you know. . . So far . . . no more calls! Mr. Tellemarketer has not called back! I did leave the house kind of early the next day, but they have left messages on my machine before, and so far nothing. If they call again I am turning them in though!
So hope you all enjoyed your 4th! Neil and I had a great time. I will post pictures!

Something Dull, Something New and Something Unbelievable!

Well let's see, Toy Story came out in 1995 and this is 2008. So that is like what 13 years. Well, I think Pixar had a great run, but they have hit their stride. Neil and I went to see Wall.e a few nights ago, and let me tell you it is a misser. It is not even a renter. I say miss it all together. The only animated people in the film were like 400 pound people who can't even get out of there chairs. And because they have been sitting so long (like 3,500 years) they have lost bone mass. So their bodies can't even support them Which is really funny because there were little fat babies laying around. You've got to wonder how they got made if these fat people never got out of their chairs. In fact in the end it was a HUGE achievement for the captain to be able to stand on his own! It was STUPID! Wall.e was cute but that is the only good thing I can say about this movie. And I thought I wouldn't be a true friend if I didn't try and warn you in some way. So there you go.
On a brighter side I can do something that I have never been able to do before. I can touch my toes! WaHoo for me!

Okay, now here is something that I am just FUMING about! This telemarketer has been calling since we moved in here and I have always just hung up. Well, this morning was the second time their call has woken Anna up because they call at like 8:00 in the morning. So I decided to ask for the operator. So this is how the conversation went.
"How can I help you?" Well, actually I am really frustrated because your calls keep waking my kid up and I would really appreciate it if you did not call anymore!" I was kind of harsh.
"Well, if you have a bill with us, we are just going to keep calling you!" He was harsh.
"I've never signed up for anything with your company before." I was mad!
"You don't have to sign up for anything! We will just call you tomorrow!" He was rude!
"I don't have an account with you!" I was flabbergasted!
"Have a nice day and we will call you tomorrow!" And then he hung up on me.
I can not even tell you how angry I am! And our number is even on the Do Not Call list! If he calls tomorrow someones head will roll!

So how is your morning?
