I heart Faces Week 26 "Pets" Challenge

Hello!! It's been a long, long time since my last blog, but I love this challenge! I heart faces is hosting a Pets challenge. I've been lucky enough to hang out with some pretty cute pups, including my own, which had some luck last year with this challenge.

So meet Outlaw. He's my sister's dog. He was just six weeks old in this picture and couldn't have been more adorable. He's now 2 years old and 20lbs heavier, but still adorable.

Ok so I watch American Idol...

And Glee and Real Housewives (all of them) and a bunch of other shows I don't really tell people about. My only comfort is YOU DO TOO!! I was really sad last week when Didi Benami was kicked off. I think her voice is amazing. And this should be her song. Which I will quickly learn on my guitar and play when no one is listening. =)

becuase I lazy and uber tired this morning

This week's I Heart Faces challenge can be found on Flickr. The challenge this week is Dramatic B&W. I love this picture of Emma and my dad. Btw, Emma is darling. Baby in a basket pictures coming soon.

This week's entry.

I heart faces weekly entry: All bundled up!

So here's my take on all bundled up. Actually, I left my jumpdrive at home but I really wanted to play so I searched through my flickr pictures until I found one that i thought worked. This was one of my favorite pictures from my 365 project. It makes me laugh everytime I look at it!

Photo Restoration

ok I'm really excited about this. We're throwing a huge party for my grandparents at the end of the month and one of my duties was to get an 8X10 made of each of my aunts and uncles for their respective tables. Luckily all of them went to the local photographer in Port Lavaca for portraits when they graduated, and grandma had a copy of them all. Unfortunately, she didn't have a copy of my oldest uncle. His daughter scanned a photo from when he was 21 but the photo had definitely seen better days. My clone stamp and I went to work! I was so happy with the way it came out (as well as my cousin) that she sent me their wedding photo. Check out the before and afters. I'm very happy with them!!

It looks a little different b/c I had to change the size for 8X10

and just like that...

the world is a seven pounds cuter.

She's got 10 fingers, 10 toes, 2 gorgeous blue eyes, and an amazingly full head of hair.

Emma Jay Perez was born February 22, 2010 at 2:01pm. She is 7lbs 8oz, 20 inches long. I could go on and on about her cuteness and how much in love with this little girl I am, but I'll let her pictures do the talking. Obviously, more pictures to come. :)

Right outta the oven...

So sweet

What a great moment--caught my dad's first meeting with Emma

And then a great grandmother meeting her 17th great-grandchild

mother and daughter are doing great.

I heart faces weekly challenge: I wanna dance

I like these challenges because it gives me a chance to go back through the pictures I've taken and relive the experiences. I didn't realize I had so many dance pictures to choose from! This one made me smile the most. This was taken at the beautiful wedding of Deanna and Victor. The kids were hilarious and waaay better dancers than I'll ever be. :)
