*untitled*

I have been able to take more pictures recently because I got a new camera (*happy dance*), so I thought I would post a few blog worthy ones.

 a chip clip works as well as any regular hair clip, I suppose...

Haley has been my favorite subject for most of my pictures lately; but with a cute face like her's, I'm sure you can see where I'm coming from.

 my new 'toy'. I call her, Pixie. :)

I am playing around with Pixie's different settings and all that good stuff, so now I will have something to do over Christmas break!

The one with Curls and Celebrities

Still here! My life has been crazy, but good.

I don't have much to say, so this post will mostly consist of pictures. :)

My five-year-old cousin giving my eight-year-old sister a piggy back ride. :)

I just love her blue eyes! My other siblings and I don't have blue eyes, but my mom does, so hopefully her eyes will stay blue. 

I have always thought that the brother-sister relationship is one of the sweetest things. 

 I found these awesome ringlets in my ponytail last night!

Once, someone saw a picture of my curls and said, "God is good!" :D

Okay, so I have been told that I look like this woman, Jennifer Garner. 

...do I?

Speaking of looking like a celebrity... for fun, I recently got an app on my iPod that supposedly tells you which celebrity you resemble. Apparently I resemble Gwyenth Paltrow and Liam, Matthew Perry and Orlando Bloom. :) Nice! I don't know how accurate those are, but nice!

 I have a weird case of "blogger's block", so I don't have anything else to say right now.

I hope your Summer has been great so far!

Haley ~ 2 Months

At 2 months, Haley Bug is smiling and cooing. She makes us all happy, especially when she's smiling at us with a big, open-mouthed grin.

we all love this chubby little baby very much!

with Mommy on Mother's Day. (sorry for the quality of these pictures, I don't know what's up with our camera.)

Happy 2 months, Haley!

Photo Shoot: Rachel & Alley

I had fun snapping a few photos (okay, okay...a little more than a few :)) with my sweet friend, Rachel recently.

 Me with my favorite twig! ;)

 Me being me.

Me laughing, which is something I did a lot of during this photo shoot.

pretty Rachel

 I look like a small child in this one. 

Wow. I look...really scary here.

 I love this one because I have this very mischievous look on my face. Sort of a Tom Sawyer look. :)

 Another favorite. Rachel is so photogenic! 

 Thanks for a great time, Rachel! I am happy that I now have a lot of good pictures of both of us. 

Haley's Baptism Day

5/5/13

LOLs :)

Okay, I just have a few funnies to share on here today. :)

I saw this first one a few days ago and laughed so hard! It's so stupid that it's funny. You'll see what I mean...

I think my favorites are the alligator, lizard and t-Rex. 

I also like the sippy cups.... :D

My family recently discovered this comedian. Tim Hawkins and this guy, Thor Ramsey, are my two favorite Christian comedians right now.

Speaking of Tim Hawkins....

:D

And here are a few more funnies.

I got these next ones from my blogging friend, Maddie May. Thanks, Maddie!

This one really tickled me. I don't know if it's his expression, or what, but I literally laughed out loud.

(Speaking of Frodo and LOTR, I finally saw The Hobbit awhile back. I liked it, though I think that the "original" LOTR trilogy is my favorite. Speaking of The Hobbit,--I'm gonna be a total teenage girl here--Kili is not hard on the eyes. Am I right, girls?? ;) Okay. Teenage girl moment over.)

Happy Monday!

Haley ~ 1 Month

Our sweet, 1 month old girl

Haley is growing like a little weed and has started to make eye contact with us and smile (not sure if it's completely intentional yet, but she smiled at me a couple days ago, so I'd like to believe it is :)).

She gets lots of love and makes us all happy.

 

I love her little cheeks!

A Few Pictures

Hallelujah, He is risen!

I hope you all had a great Easter, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus! 

How wonderful it is to know that I can live forever with Him in eternity, all because He took my place and then conquered death! 

 

Guess what? On this Good Friday, our house was not egged, unlike last year! Yay! :) Cleaning raw egg off of your house is not fun.

Saturday, my siblings and I hid eggs in our yard for each other to hunt, our annual tradition. :)

I became distracted by the sky...I like to take pictures of it...

 Dresden is a pretty skillful egg hider.

 As a side note, I love the reflection of the trees in this picture and the next.  

You're so artistic, Alley, even when you don't mean to be!  ;D

 This one makes me smile. Megan was grumpy because she didn't get to carry the basket when she and Dresden were hunting eggs. By the way, this was taken ten minutes after that happened! As you can see, she doesn't get over things quickly...

We also do an egg toss with Mom every year. This was basically the only decent picture I got of that. 

And...pretty soon, the egg toss became an all out egg fight. :)

Liam running from Dresden, who is about to throw an egg at him

  

Also, if you look close, you can see the "Narnia lamp post" in our neighbor's yard. I love that lamp post. :)

This one's a little bright, but I just love it! These two already have a sweet relationship. 

  A candid shot. ;) 

I don't have many pictures of Liam holding Haley (probably because Liam usually despises having his picture taken), but he definitely loves her. It's super cute watching him hold and talk to her.

Lookin' pretty on Easter morning

On a totally different topic, my family will be getting a puppy soon! Any name suggestions? We haven't decided on anything for sure yet.

Anyway, here is a picture of our new doggie... 

....April Fool's! 

 Yeah, I know that was lame. :) I just had to do something...

  

Have a good week!
