addicted...

So since I got my amazing Nikon I have not put it down! I love to take pictures of everything! I went on my day off and drove around downtown Acworth stopping when I saw a photo-op and would get out and snap away! I really enjoy taking photos and this camera is so awesome it makes it even better!! My wonderful friend Kristen saw my photos and asked me to take some of her and her two boys. So of course I said YES! So here are some of the photos I took of them this past weekend! It was so fun to capture these memories of her "babies"! I love all 3 of them!!

Happy Birthday to ME! (early)

I love to take pictures and honestly I love for my own picture to be taken about 100x more! I can't help it, I have always been a camera hog!! :) So for a while I have had my eye on a precious little item.. the Nikon D3000! I am sure that for a while I will not use it to it's full potential but after having it for 3 hours I'm already in love! I wish the sun was still up so I could go run around outside and snap away! Here is my new love...

I got the bundle package so I also got a bag to carry it around in, a UV lense screen and an extra lense (55-200mm). The extra lense is huge and pretty intimidating I'm not going to lie!! But I started off slow and made Lucy my first victim! She is not a fan of getting her picture taken so I had to shower her with lots of treats! Here are a few shot I got tonight, I'm pretty happy with them!

This was after I had been shooting for a while.. She was definitely annoyed with me! But the picture is adorable!

Blessed

I have been a fortunate person to have known all of my GREAT grandparents! Most of my family before me had their children at a young age, including my parents. So my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents were all "young". Growing up I never really knew how much of a blessing this was but looking back I am so happy I had this opportunity! I could not imagine my life without their influence. Some people never have the chance to even know their grandparents and I had great ones!! Even though I have 3 great-grandmother's still alive, my Granny Champion is the most special to me.
I really started thinking about this blessing today when I went to visit my great-grandmother, Granny. ;) She retired from Lacey's last Friday! She would drive me crazy when she was there wanting me to drop everything to stop and chat, but boy do I miss those interruptions! It was great to see her today, getting to do whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted to. I was the first great grandchild/grandchild so I was a little really spoiled! ;) As a child I would make her play school and grocery store with me. She would do anything I wanted, just like the rest of my great grandparents! I can see her getting more feeble and her memory is slowly slipping away.. It breaks my heart but I know it's inevitable.. But that doesn't make it any easier. She's my granny and I love her. I couldn't imagine her not being around! I hope I can bless her with a great-great grandchild before she leaves this world! She's the best granny ever!!
RIP: Papa Cox

I love all of you and miss you so much! Thank you for being the best great grandparents a spoiled little girl could ask for!!

Momma

I really love my momma! I like when we spend time together, we always have so much fun. I really don't know what I would do without her, I talk to her on a daily basis and if I don't it feels weird. It makes me so sad when I see people that hate their mom's and can't get along. Here's to you mom! You are the BEST mom a girl could ask for!!

(My birthday 2 years ago)

62+a roof= bad combo

My grandfather, who is 62 years old, decided it would be a brilliant idea to climb on a roof (that was 11 ft off the ground) to measure it at work Friday morning. He also thought it would be brilliant to remove his shoes so he would "have a better grip". Well this idea turned into a horrible idea as he slipped and fell down and off the roof. I got a call from my mom around 10:30am that he had fallen & all she knew was he broke his arm and was headed to the hospital. Pablo & I jumped up from our Sonic the Hedgehog video game and rushed to Kennestone, beating my mom & grandmother AND the ambulance there. Poppie, my grandfather, arrived not long after us and we got to go back to see him. He was in a lot of pain. They gave him some good meds to relieve the pain and took him back for x-rays and CT. The results came back and he had broken his humerus in 2 places and would have to have surgery. They got him in a room and set him up for surgery today, Saturday. He went in for surgery around 2:45pm today. He was doing well but surgery is still not over yet. Please keep him in your prayers that he will heal and recover quickly! And don't follow in his foot steps and climb on a roof..

2 month update...

I'm horrible at this (as all my post start)! Since my last post I have started back to school! I am currently taking 2 online classes which I am actually enjoying! I have A's in both of them (YAY me!!) I am still up in the air as to what I want to do when I grow up! I have time tho.. ;)

We took our beach trip and it was fabulous! I fell in love with Destin, FL! It was so relaxing and beautiful, I don't care if I ever go to another beach ever! It was great!! Our 1st day there we walked down to the beach and saw dolphins jumping and playing in the water! It was pretty awesome! I can't wait until we go back!

Pablo & I arrived Sunday and his parents went on their vacation Thursday so we had a couple of days of overlap to get to hangout at the beach! Which was great for Pablo & I to get a picture together! :)

Me & my husband on the gorgeous beach!!

My BFF Isabel!!

The view from our condo! So beautiful!!

Our family was blessed with a new baby! Our sister-in-law had her baby!! Chloe was born July 6th! Here is a picture of her about 4 days old. She's so chunky, I love it!

The big brother!! :) He's such a sweetheart! I can't get enough of his little man!!
