How Adorable!!

As many of you may know I love photography...I just signed up for a mini class on flash next week! So much to learn! So, I've come across a new photographer...Kelly Moore. Take a peak of this picture...absolutely adorable!

If you have a minute..click on over to her blog to see some of her beautiful work! Oh btw, this little girl's name is Posey :)  Mr. Southbay flies home tonight!!! I'm hoping he isn't too tired because we need to get Halloween shopping!!

Nice Surprise!

Today was a sad day...I had to drop off my Mother at the airport! As I was walking up to our apartment I saw something sitting in front of our door... FLOWERS!!! Mr. Southbay sent me flowers from the East Coast!! Talk about perfect timing... 

Those small gestures...that make such a difference! 

I feel so happy now!!

A Couple More...

Sorry I have been so MIA :) My Mother flew into town and we have been having such a great time!!  I received a disk full of images from our family shoot last month! So, I had to share a couple more of our favorites..

I'm so glad we used the letters for a couple shots! 

I feel like the picture below is like a piece of art... 

This will be hard to figure out which ones to hang on the wall.

My Mother already asked me to make another Blurb Book filled with all the images! I'm excited to get started on this assignment!! Wouldn't this picture be perfect for a front cover?

Me and the Parents!

I hope you all are having a safe weekend!

Labor Day Weekend!

I hope everything had a relaxing couple of days off! I had to work Saturday and Monday..but had an excellent weekend anyways! On Sunday we went to Fiesta Hermosa by the beach. Tons of people selling their creative talents! For some reason I really wanted a snow cone..not sure why but I just couldn't resist.. The Mr and I finished the whole thing! We even ordered a small...it was huge! Half strawberry...half pink lemonade..yummy! I don't even want to know how much sugar that calculated up to be :)

Mr. Southbay is actually flying back east to take part in a boy's fishing trip tomorrow :)  He will be gone for seven days.. which is a bummer..BUT! My Mother is flying out Wednesday and  it will be just the two of us! Not sure what we will all be doing... but simply relaxing on the couch with a glass of wine and catching up would be fine with me!

On Saturday, Little Man got a haircut! Finally :) I'm not sure he could see that well with all that hair in his face :) Infact, I had a little bit of fun with his hair last week.. take a peak :) He just sat there allowing me to play..I took them with my phone so the quality isn't the greatest!

Yeah, his hair is pretty long! But he is still the cutest thing EVER!

So, here is a quick picture of him today...

He is so adorable with his new cut! He can see now too!

I hope you all had a great weekend whatever you did! Happy Labor Day!

Lets Go P*S*U!

Today is Christmas for many people out there! College football officially starts up...Saturdays will be filled with football! Mr. Southbay is extremely content for the entire day.  As many of you know we are Penn State Alumni and are huge fans. Happy Valley holds a special place in our hearts.. This is the place where we first met..had our first date..first kiss and created tons of memories!! When we were planning our wedding, we actually contemplated using blue and white as our colors..We didn't go that route but we did include our beloved alumni here and there.

We unfortunately were not able to attend any games last year and probably not this year.. sniff sniff.. There is just something so powerful that occurs when you walk into the stadium..especially in the student section..It kinda gives me chills just thinking about it! It's just super exciting!

If you ever have the opportunity to attend a Penn State game.. don't turn it down! It is definitely an experience not to be missed! PSU is in the top 10 (#8) for best tailgating.. and fell to number 3 for top American party school.. not sure if I am proud of the latter..but certainly happy for our tailgating rank! 

Lets Go P*S*U!!!

Under The Weather

For the past week I haven't been feeling 100%...and lastnight I think it went into full gear. Today I'm off work and in bed. I haven't slept so much in a very long time. Why is it we always get sick on those days we really can't afford to miss? 

So, my day will be filled with tons of rest..tv..and tissues!  At least I can take advantage of this time of rest to watch the U.S. Open in Flushing Meadows NY! 

There has been tons of news going with this year's US Open. First, lets check out Melanie Oudin's creations! Adidas approached her to create a pair of tennis sneakers and to choose one word that would be placed on the shoe.  Take a look for yourself! I think they are pretty cute!

Next,  Victoria Azarenka passed out on court. Seriously! She is walking to serve and the next you know she slowly goes down. How scary for everyone there! Click HERE to see a video clip of it. It turns out she had a mild concussion prior to her match and her symptoms became worse, seeing double, headache and feeling dizzy. Again..how scary! They lifted her up into a wheelchair and supported her head as they rolled her out.

Early eliminations this year for Andy Roddick and Melanie Oudin are tough to hear! These players prepare all year for this tournament and to be eliminated early on has to be incredibly difficult to take! 

So, here I am on the couch getting my R & R! I hope I can kick this this infection super fast! My Mother is flying in next Wednesday and I have to be in good form!

Post Grad

Tonight I watched the movie "Post Grad." What a jammed filled awesome cast! 

Alexis Bledel, Gilmore Girls..  

the adorable Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights... 

the Batman, Michael Keaton! 

Bobby Coleman, Last Song 

the hilarious Jane Lynch from Glee and Role Models. 

Lastly, Carol Burnett!

This is definitely a chick flick with humor.. It was one of those movies that do not require any thinking :) Perfect!!! I was however taken away with the amazing music played throughout the movie. If you get a chance click on over here to check out my favorite.  Jack Savoretti's One Day.  I believe tomorrow there will be a quick stop over at Best Buy!

Good news.. Mr. Southbay comes home tonight! Well.. 3am that is !
