Pumpkin Patch

We had a great visit to the pumpkin patch with my sister and her kiddos last weekend. They had so many different kinds of pumpkins and gourds there! The kids had a lot of fun finding unusual looking ones and we managed to pick out a very large one to take home to carve. Here are some pictures of our trip...

Austin & Jacob liked riding in the wagon!

Sweet Tea Enhancements - Professional Photo Editing

Today I am launching my new business, Sweet Tea Enhancements! I'm very excited and a little nervous about making the public announcement. You can't have a business without customers though, so I'm working on getting over the nervousness part and spreading the word.

Sweet Tea Enhancements offers custom photo editing and professional print products to fit your needs. Simply upload a photo on Sweet Tea and pick your enhancement level, then leave the rest to me. You will appreciate your enhanced photo in a whole new way. This is perfect for those vacation pictures, birthday parties, children's milestones and more that end up on your computer and not on your walls. With custom enhancing you will want to display these memories in your home, on cards, and as gifts.

Check out my website and send me a comment if you get a chance! Thanks!!

Family Self Portrait

Yes, you read that right...self portrait. I didn't realize how sweaty you get trying to run back and forth between the tripod/camera setup and your "spot" in the picture! Many thanks to my beautiful family for their patience this morning. For the last week it has been refreshingly cool in the mornings here, but not today!! I would pick the one day that the humidity returned to the Houston area. We did manage to capture a few good ones though. And the kids seemed happy enough to play with the apples! (and as a little bit of trivia for you - this picture did not really happen. it is the result of the two best pictures combined. I LOVE photoshop!)

Three more...

Okay, I think I'm officially addicted to Photoshop. Kinda like how some people are addicted to Botox. But I'm having so much fun, and I can't resist staring at my kids' faces as I work on their photos.

My Model

Taylor helped me out yesterday by posing on my new bench. I made the bench this week and the paint was barely dry when we decided it would be a good idea to take it out for a test drive! So, into the field we went and I loved every part!






Do you like my distressing??






My model would only participate if I also took silly pictures of her :)

Quick trip to visit cousins

We had a quick trip to visit my sister and her family this weekend. I packed up the kids in record time and we (barely) made it to the pool party Friday night. That was a blast, even with the water temp being around 50 degrees!! Kids don't seem to notice that kinda thing though :)

Then we got to see my nephew's first t-ball game in the morning before we headed home. Here are a few pics.
