HAPPY BIRTHDAY PRINCESS NATALIE :]

Our Beautiful Ballerina

[Natalie Allyse=Beautiful Ballerina]

Nat experienced her first ballet camp these past two weeks & loved every minute of it.
She stayed in Vidalia for those two weeks--hard time for mommy & daddy :(
But today made it worth while, we experienced Natalie's very first "in-studio showcase"
& we enjoyed every minute of it.

Although we were not too thrilled about Nat being gone for two weeks, we knew this was something she longed to do, something she loved & something that would make her happy.

And as parents, it made us happy to see our little girl experience another first in her life.

Better Late than Never: ONE YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

[one year later & happy as can be]

This past year flew by & what a year it was! A year full of many first and lasts.
We were back in Vidalia for our anniversary so we did not do anything really special.
We did eat our cake topper & I must say it was still delicious.
& Jami made us a cheesecake, delicious also.
I guess you could say we loaded up on all the sweet things we DON'T need!

*UPDATE COMING SOON*

Friday Flashback: BIG MOMMA & LITTLE CHEESER!

Me at about 8 months pregnant..if not further along. This was taken at one of Cameron's tournaments in Denham Springs. It was extremely hot and I was being a good girlfriend by wobbling around to support him! :] I'm pretty sure this was at the ball park where the restrooms were at the entrance and the field Cameron was playing on was at the very back...yep, I was definitely being a good sport.

As you already know, Natalie is such a cheeser. This is proof that she has been cheesing for quite some time now. However, in all her cheesiness, she is still too cute!
This photo was taken in Hot Springs, Arkansas in 2006. The Gin Show was there that year and we were lucky enough to join! My family use to go to Hot Springs every summer back when I was younger so it was nice to go back. We went to the springs to capture Natalie's one-year-portrait. Such a fun trip & this little CHEESER enjoyed it very much!

FINALLY FRIDAY!

After a long, rough school year,

it's officially over.

I have completed my first year of college!

& oh how wonderful it feels.

I can't even explain the amount of relief-

My gpa won't be a 3.0 like last semester but it's pretty close.

I guess everyone has their bad semesters

& I hope this was my one and only.

But considering my situation,

I'm happy with the outcome of this semester.

I will do better next semester though!

Anyway..I'm just glad to have a year over with

& to be able to say that I did it! :)

The downside of today:

Now I will go pack & clean

since I didn't get anything else accomplished this week

except for studying.

Going to see my love bug tomorrow.

CAN'T WAIT!!

WACKY WEDNESDAY

I decided to do something new & creative for wednesdays.

I will post pictures that I have edited, but not the normal editing.

I love to edit my photos on http://www.picnik.com

You should try it out!

A lot of people have told me that Natlalie looks like Michelle off of Full House. So, Cameron taught her to say what Michelle always said, "you got it dude!"

This is Natalie's version!

[I will add more later today]
