Im baaack ♥

Here I am after a long hiatus from blogging. I admit, blogging is usually pretty low on my list of priorities but I'm going to try harder now. I've decided to give Project 365 a shot again this year. I dismally failed at it last year but I got a shiny new lens for Christmas so I'm going to use P365 as a way to improve my photography skills. I've been studying and I'm excited to apply some of the things that I've learned so far. I still have a long way to go, though.

Anyways, speaking of Christmas... We had a fabulous Christmas this year. This was the first year that Aiden was truly excited for Christmas. It was so awesome to watch him open his presents from Santa. He had a great Christmas morning and got some pretty good gifts from Santa. We spent the rest of the day with my family at my mom's house and we spent the next day with Jeff's family at his parent's house. I woke up on Christmas morning with pink eye in both eyes and was nearly blind most of the day. But, the day improved when I opened my gift from Jeff which was a Snuggie with a 70-300 lens hidden inside. He's lucky I didn't chuck the Snuggie box at him, LOL. Here's a few shots of our Christmas.

Fantabulous Friday 7/3/09

Happy almost 4th of July! Does anyone have any big plans for the weekend? Jeff has to work all weekend so I plan on sitting around the house with Aiden. We might go watch some fireworks with Jeff's parents but nothing too exciting. I hope I can take him to the fireworks this year... I think that he will enjoy them a lot more. Last year he didn't care at all and sat in the car pretending to drive the whole time. Today is Fantabulous Friday and I've got some stuffs to share!

Aiden's 3rd Birthday!

I can't believe my little boy is 3 years old already! His birthday was so fun this year. It was the first year he knew what a birthday was. The anticipation of his party was almost too much to handle, bless his heart... It was good leverage to get him to do what I wanted him to do, though. LOL!

I decided that I was going to make and decorate his cake this year. I've never decorated a cake in my life so I was a little nervous. I decided to go with cupcakes because they seemed less intimidating. I think they turned out pretty good considering that I've never decorated anything in frosting before. (Blogger is totally messing with me right now... I can't get the pictures to display right. Click on the to see the whole image. :))





Here's a few other randoms from the big day...

The Miller Lite on the table isn't his, I promise! (Classy, I know, right?)

In other news, I actually scrapped last night. It was the first time in months. I've been trying to learn how to use my camera better... Ya know, something other than Auto! I took Aiden outside for a mini photo shoot and got some pretty cute shots. He's not a very willing model, though. :P Here's my layout...
