Fun at the beach

I'm so glad that we've had a break in the rain. The suns been shining the last few days, but it's still only in the 50's. It's pretty chilly, but we can't let that stop us from doing outdoorsy type things or we would be stuck in the house forever!

The other day we went to visit a family friend and decided when we were done to go on a short drive instead of heading straight home. At some point I mentioned that the sky looked awfully pretty and maybe we should go by the house get the camera, coats and head to the beach. Chris thought that was a great idea!

We were thankful that the wind wasn't blowing. It would have made a time there much shorter since it was already a bit chilly... Man did Logan enjoy himself!

There was another little boy down there with his Daddy and Logan about gave himself whip lash when the little boy walked out of his sight (hope he wasn't trying to get some pointers on walking). Eventually the little boy left and Logan was interested in the beach again!

It's so funny that we live literally, like a 2 minute drive from the beach and this was only his second visit. I feel like we are depriving him from witnessing God's awesome creation! I love the beach and hope to instill that in my son.

Logan thoroughly enjoyed himself. He wanted to crawl so bad...

Cooking/baking to try in 2011

I am not a great cook, by any means. I've never made pie dough from scratch and I think all great cooks can do that, among many other things! I can cook and bake fairly well though... No complaints from the people who eat my food, yet.

So here's a list of some things I want to try this year, in no particular order:

1. English muffins
2. Cinnamon rolls
3. Chili Verde
4. Salsa
5. Shortbread
6. Caramel popcorn
7. Chicken and dumplings
8. Eggnog truffles
9. Pizza dough
10. Samoas
11. Risotto
12. Cheesecake

I know it's not a very ambitious list, but I gotta take baby steps. See how I only choose 12... One for each month of this year. I feel good about accomplishing that! Hmmmm.... Wonder what will be made this month??!!!!

So, I'm thinking my blog posts may only be about my little guy, for the most part anyway. He's so easy to talk about or in this case, write about! Can't believe that he's almost 10 months old. We'll be planning a first birthday party before we know it.

Memaw and Poppop bought this for Logan as a Christmas gift. He absolutely LOVES it! He didn't really get it at first, which is pretty understandable. Eventually, he would push it around while on his knees. Just the other night he figured out that he could actually push it AND walk at the same time. Genius, I tell ya!!

Doesn't he just have the cutest face you've ever seen??!!!!

New Year Resolution

Well, Hello Blog! My have I missed you. I really do need to get better about posting entries. Thus, the title of this one... and I'm already 2 days behind. I am gonna try to post often. We shall see though, with a 10 month old crawling and cruising around that may make it a little bit more difficult, but I will try!

My husband and I were blessed with a baby boy, March 11th, 2010. He truly is a joy in our lives and we LOVE him so much. He is such fun and continues to amaze me, each and every day. There is always something new and exciting that he is doing (oh, I can document those things here).

That's good for a step back into blogging post. Now, I'm off to catch some zzzzz's!

My town from the vista point. Blessed I tell ya! It is beautiful here.



Spring Flowers














Well, I am pretty sure spring has sprung. Maybe not in my own yard or in my own town, but at least it's only a short car ride away.



Don't get me wrong... As you can see, I am blessed to live in such a beautiful place. I am able to visit the beach and redwoods all within a 10 min drive. I love the beach and could literally spend hours there. God's beauty abounds in my small coastal town!!

These are some of my favorite photos from our mini photo shoot at Azalea Park on Saturday with Chris' parents. It was nice and cloudy out lol, but I was still able to have fun... That is until the lovely rain started. When, oh when will the rain end! SPRING!! I'm ready for you, Please come soon!!

My in loves have one of the most awesomest relationships. They are such an inspiration and encouragement to Chris and I. They have been through many different seasons in their marriage and it has made their love stronger still. I am beyond blessed to have them in my life. God is GOOD!

Hola Peeps! I have been neglecting my poor blog. I plan on being better about updating. Gotta tell ya though, ( I don't have a very exciting life ) . Just so you are warned!

I got my 50mm lens back last week and I am beyond excited! We went to Azalea Park on Sat and I was able to give a few good photos before the darn rain started. UGH! It's been raining off and on the last few days so it's kinda difficult to take indoor photos with the sky so dark... Let me know if you have any tips!

I just ordered a bunch of books from CBD. I am a bookworm! I will be getting 8 books and a CD for less than $50.00! SWEET!! Really sucks that our local library has a cruddy inventory of the type of books I read. There is pretty much nothing! I also ordered a photography book and a Wii Game. Thanks Babe!!
