Pictures from Pine Park

There is this amazing park near our house that has beautiful scenery and natural water springs everywhere. We went there for a hike last night before dinner and we got some great shots. I Love the fall!!!!




Sometimes, because of all the springs the path is washed out, so you have to find ways around, or through it!



There is even an old playground out there.

Happy Hour Friday!

Random Tuesday just wasn't enough so now I have joined Happy Hour Friday, years ago it would have involved lots of partying,drinking and being out all night.(Which still happens once in awhile) Now my weekends are usually spent hanging out with my fam, which makes me HAPPY!!! We are all so busy all week with work and school, gymnastics, swimming and everything else so the weekends are for us.Also my photography makes me HAPPY .....so my Happy hour Friday will be expressed in pictures!











Stop by and check out the people who started it Otin, Rx Bambi and Hit 40. and share what makes you happy!!!!

Today is my mom's Birthday, and yes she blogs too, so go stop by and wish her a happy Bday!!!!!!
She is a wonderful,amazing,caring and beautiful woman! She put up with me through my teens,and for that she should be rewarded some kind of medal!!!! I could go on for hours but instead I thought I would share some photo's with you.


This one was taken in 1989, all I can say is wow, that's a pretty hot sweater I have there, and check out mom's rockin bod!!!

Camera Critters

Today I have some action shots of my dog Montana at the beach.








Hope everyone has a gross weekend.

OMG I just went back and read that!!! Hope you have a GREAT weekend!

Mama's got a brand new bag!!!!!

I bought a new purse the other day and I love her, that's right I said her, she is so pretty.



Of course it is a replica, the real one was almost $3000, but I live in a town of under 100,000 people, so half the people in this city probably don't even know what Prada is, and the other half well they probably couldn't tell the difference.

I had a great Thanksgiving weekend, I had dinner for 20 (8 of those were all children under the age of 10) It was lots of fun, great to spend the holiday with friends and family. Next weekend the Dumbass family is coming up for a visit, so we will be doing dinner for 20 again!!!!!

check out my group on facebook

Short and sweet, if you are on facebook you should check out my group I created. It's called Memories in time. Let me know what you think!

RTT Lions and Tigers and Bears, oh my

Ok, I lied it's only tigers. These guys deserve what they got!!!





It's Tuesday, I am supposed to have random thoughts, hmmm, we are supposed to have a chance of snow of Sunday, brrrr.

I recently read a few zombie books, World War Z, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, and it got me thinking, what's with all the zombie stuff lately? Does the government know something we don't. Whatever I will be prepared to kick some undead ass if I have to!!!!

We have decided not to move because there is nothing out there that we want in the price range we can afford, so I will probably have to get a second job to pay for our existing place *cue the violins*

Why do some people think they can take a classic song and remake it? Why almost all of the suck, My personal most hated remix of all time is Madonna's American Pie!!! What's yours?

MMMM thanksgiving(for us Canadians) is next weekend I am having a bunch of friends over for dinner, I love pumpkin pie!!!!!!

The following weekend the dumbass family is coming out for a visit, so we will have our usual calm sedated dinner for 20+

This Halloween I am actually going out myself, after I take the kids trick or treating, I'm super excited, I bought a costume, I am going as the sexy cop....so I can't eat for the next 3 weeks, whatever It will be fun!

Here is a darling conversation with my daughter
Me: *smelling her hair* I love the way your hair smells, I could smell it all day
Mik: *smelling my hair* Your hair doesn't smell.....but your heart smells and I love you
Me:umm thanks, I think?
I am going to leave you with a link to my last blog, only because I worked for awhile on this picture and wanted more people to see it, shameless plug I know, but whatever you are here anyways!!!!!
Head over to Keely's and read some more Random Tuesday Thoughts

Angels and Demons!

I have been working on this photo project for awhile now, I got the idea awhile ago and had to find the time to do it. This weekend I finally got it finished, and with the help of my husband and photo shop I got the picture. So here it is I call it Angels and Demons
