Just For Fun :-)

We've been bad bloggers lately... sorry about the few-and-far-between posts these last couple weeks. We've been working like crazy on a brand new blog that will launch very VERY soon!!  Today, I took a break from blog-designing to visit YearbookYourself.com - a HILARIOUS site where you can take any photo and put it through a time machine anywhere from 1950-2000. I plugged our photos into the site, and here are a few of my faves. They made me laugh (especially the one from 1996 because I actually HAD that haircut). Enjoy :)

I heart New Orleans :)

For the last couple of years (since my Mom was diagnosed with Carcinoid Cancer), we have been making frequent trips to New Orleans to see the amazing Carcinoid specialists at LSU. For over a year now, she has been in a drug study and has to go to New Orleans every 4 weeks.  
Cancer sucks. It can definitely get overwhelming, but when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. 
Sooooo, the good news is, we have to go to New Orleans all the time. I have fallen in love with this city. The culture is so different and wonderful. It is the most European city I have ever been to outside of Europe. Below are a few random photos from our most recent trip.  
P.S. If you are wondering...my Mom is doing great and surprising the doctors over and over. She is my miracle. I usually forget she is sick at all. I can only hope that I have 1% of the strength she has. I love you Momma from the deepest part of my heart!

My wonderful Momma :)

This one makes me smile. I told her to laugh and this is what she did. Love you Mom!

Me and my new hair flower :) Photo by my cute hubby.

Speaking of my cute hubby. Here he is in the adorable Oak Street Cafe.

Chris cannot start his day without coffee.

Ahh!!! I love this man :) 

Because it was unbearably hot outside, we visited the Audobon Aquarium. How cool is it to have sting-ray swimming over your head?!

I love shopping. New Orleans is full of quirky shops with all kinds of random stuff. Troll, anyone?

Nap Time :)

If you follow our blog at all, you know that I am totally in love with my Yorkie, Romeo. I probably post about him too much, but he is just so stinkin' cute. Lately he has found a new comfy place to nap while I'm working at home. He snuggles up in my laundry basket. Isn't he adorable?!

Oh, to be a puppy. What a great life!

This is his "Seriously Mom! The camera AGAIN!" face.

Dog Days of Summer

Yesterday, Chris, his parents and I went to the San Antonio Botanical Gardens with our puppies. They were having the "Dog Days of Summer" event. If you haven't noticed, we LOVE our puppies, so we are always up for going somewhere fun with them.
It was another scorching Texas day, but we had a blast walking all over the grounds. It is such a beautiful place, with tons of cool buildings. I would love, love, love to shoot a session there soon (hint, hint). Of course, I walked around all day with a leash in one hand and my camera in the other. 

First up, a photo, not taken by me. There is one air conditioned building, so after an hour or so outside, we went in to cool off. A photographer from the Express News was there documenting the day, he took this super cute photo of us and we made it into the newspaper today!!! How cool is that?! Now we have to go out and buy several copies. Chris is convinced that the reason they chose us is his cute little one liner about the dogs being a big part of our lives. While I'm sure it helped, I think they picked the photo because of our adorable puppies!
 

Chris' parents, Steve and Debby. I hope we are this cute in 30 years!

Oh yeah, and that is their lab, Noah. :)

Seriously, how awesome is the little house?!

Love this. It is my new desktop picture. Steve took it. Pretty good, huh?

I have all kinds of ideas for shooting here. Any takers?

It was really, really hot!

Charlotte loves the water. They had pools set out at different places, she jumped in every time.


Charlotte also jumped in the little lake they have. This is her shaking off after her swim :)


Yep, it's true. My husband is cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute :)

This is one of the very few photos of the four of us. Yay for the self timer function on my camera!
