holding on to the warm...

There has been so much rains, floods, mudslides etc in NJ lately it's madness.
This last warm day we got a chance to soak up some sun and play in the park....
As it's getting colder as this week goes on I had to post these in order to remind myself... think warm.

my future DIL ;)

SO as funny as life takes is paths this little cutie who came as a suprise has no idea how much she is the best thing that could have happened to some pretty already awesome people.
I did these photos as a suprise and I finally got them to her parents so I can share them here :) woo hoo!

This first one was the teaser I posted a while ago.... heres its compliment :)

  



The tutu was adorable, the setting was perfect ( it's not all the time you find a momma willing to let you photograph her half naked baby in the woods) and she like always was an angel.



It's just unreal to see how cute she is!! look at that priceless smile :)

she melts my heart.

Happy 1st Birthday Juliana.

Many, many more!! xoxo

Stella, and oh is she Bella :)

I just couldn't resist posting this sneak peak of this cutie, those big brown eyes are going to be trouble some day! Happy 1st Birthday Sweetie!!

strawberry sampling, I mean picking :)

So I am trying to blog more often... for many reasons. One I take a TON of photos and 99% of them are still on my camera. It's terrible. Two, I really see how time flies and I want to document as much of K's life as I can.... so unedited (too pooped) but still adorable strawberry picking photos..

CAUGHT!! RED HANDED!!

poor lil strawberry didn't know what was coming..

I absolutely adore this photo.
2 of my most favorite people in the world.

you can just hear the baby evil "HA HA"



How come in Jersey most of the local farms are near these power towers? hmmm



                                                 and yes, there were as good as they look!

fairytale forest...

This isn't going to be a long blog.... I have so much to catch up on with my blogs but this special little girl jumped to the front of the line today... She just turned one and is getting even more adorable every time I see her. It's ridiculous.
I promised her mom a sneak peek... the photos themselves are going to be a suprise so it was sooo hard to choose ONE to put up..


I hope you guys like it as much as I do..

Happy 1st Birthday Jules!! xoxo

once in a lifetime...

As a child when everyone loved New Kids On The Block, I liked them.... I loved Bon Jovi.. still do ;)
As a young adult when everyone loved Dave Matthews Band, I liked them... I loved N Sync... still do.
But when one of my bestest girls called ecstatic that she found 3rd row seats for the NKOTBSB concert for tonight... we HAD to go!!! I did feel guilty for seeing BSB but it is a once in a lifetime chance to be so close to NKTOB... I publicly ( via facebook) apologized to JT & J C ;) I know they forgive me... considering my first real loves brother was performing too ;)

I wanted to share a few of my favorite photos... I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed myself...




SO EXCITED!!!



LOOK how close we were!! :)



and there he is... my brother in law :)

need less to say... they all put on a kick ass show.

I am glad I was there.

My baby turns one!

OK, been a lil chaotic around here so this blog is a lil late...
my baby turned ONE!! here is the day of and the day of celebrating in one blog :)
I can't believe how quickly a year goes...
I went from being this anxiety ridden, neurotic mom to finally just taking it in and loving up my boy.

Hey Yo! WHO you calling a BABY?

Even though he was already walking, crawling was still faster at that point... notice the one fist :)

TOO many presents!!

All the love that was shown to our baby... just missing his Aunt Janet, Uncle Greg & cousin Brooklynn ( in florida) and Aunt Can was commuting from work..

kisses from Grandpa :)

 this is his "where'd it go"... I think he's looking for the past year!!

I had him help mix his cupcakes :)

momma's attempt at a fun cake :)

proud mom & dad, getting ready to sing

I simply adore this photo.. thanks to Uncle Doug for capturing this!!!

My lil man had just a great Birthday, I can't believe it was a year that the lil bugger came to meet me.

You never realize how much you can love until you have a child.

We had his party at a hall due to our small home & soo many people wanting to share in celebrate...
