IT'S BEEN AGES!!!

Wow, it's been like almost a year since I last blogged! Reading all my blogs that I had posted in the past..I kinda chuckled to myself and thinking "I posted this?" LOLs!!! Hilarious.

Okay, okay, okay...so finally, I decided to blog again. I stopped for a while because there were some circumstances in my life that I needed to deal with and certain people whom I needed to uhm..let's just say....get rid of.

Everybody goes through a rough patch in their life whether it be now or later or many yesterday's ago...the point is...you get through it because you're here TODAY and that's all that matters. I'm just lucky that my husband and kids are healthy this year so far (knock on wood) and that everything is going smoothly up to date.

I'm so eager for spring to arrive as I want to go on as many road trips as possible withe the hubby and kids. It's been ages since we did any good LONG road trips. Also, spring = fishing! YES fishing!!! I LOVE fishing!!! My hubby got me hooked! Can't wait.

We've been blessed with such warm and nice weather this year so far (again..knock on wood). It's almost March and we've probably had about maybe just 7 inches of snow altogether? WOW! I know right? Hate winter here in Wisconsin but I wouldn't want to move anywhere else too...I know, it's kind of like the "love and hate" relationship...LOLs!!

I've recently purchased my Nikon D7000 camera. It's an awsome camera! I've been practicing on my camera recently. Not as good as I want the pictures to be but I'm learning and like they say "practice makes perfect". I just need to upgrade to a new/good lens..hopefully soon too.

Below are some shots I took, trying to put my camera into practice mode. There will be tons more in the future of course!! Enjoy!!

And of course, I always leave my blog with a poem/quote:

Pizza Pizza Family Fun Time!!!!

Kids been asking, "When are we going to make pizzas again like last time?" Gosh, that was like ages ago. Try like 6 years ago or even longer? LOLs. Since the kids has been complaining that during their weekdays are so boring, we decided that we should get back into making things from scratch with the kids. We use to do this every other week but of course, we slacked off and it's been ages since.

We all made our own individual pizzas. Kids had such a fun time! My baby especially kept saying how much he liked making his very own pizza. Awww.

Photos of Paris 6/17/11

I was feeling the mood to go out today and take pictures. So, I dragged my daughter Paris and I too the park and took some of these photos of her. Haven't really been feeling the inspiration and I've been feeling the blues so I thought this was a good dose of medicine for me today.

A couple of weeks ago as I was driving around town, trying to get to know the city of Menasha, I found this beautiful park! I immediately fell in love with it and so I vowed that one day I would return to take photos and so here I am today. Enjoy!!

She is such a natural in front of the camera. She loves posing!

I made the head band for her and also the bracelet using the extra sewing materials I had left.
