Knox is growing up!

This morning, Jeremy and I took the dogs to the school field to, well . . . act like dogs. They loved it, racing around, chasing a ball . . . ahhhh to have a dog's life!

Bad, bad blogger . . . with a photo gift!

I haven't posted to this blog in four months? Yikes!! Well, I beg busy-ness . . . (smile) But . . . I do have photos to post!

These were taken last month at a Bonnybrook Horse Show. I missed the highlight of the day due to my bee phobia (those that really know me, understand), but did capture these of my sister . . .

And Leslie in all her cuteness . . .

Diane and her family were there, they braved the overnight rain and camped out with Denita . . .

There was a costume class. Toby dressed as Paul Revere and took second place!


And of course, Mom and Walter were there!

An Evening Horse Show . . .

Last night I went to a horse show at Twin Brooks to watch my adorable neice Leslie and my cousin's son Jeffie participate. It was like a family reunion for me! Cousins and long lost friends and aunts and uncles . . . I had so much fun!

Of course, the riders and their horses were the main attraction . . . here are my favorite captures of the day . . .

If they gave a "cute" award . . . Leslie would win first every time with Cocoa!!

When's the next show?

More pretty girl pictures!

I'm STILL not done editing these, I don't think I've ever done a shoot where I absolutely LOVE so many . . .

An Amazing Kid Shoot . . .

Oh my goodness, I had a blast yesterday with my sister, Denita and friend, Bonnie . . . we put the kids in the backyard and just chased them around with the cameras . . . minimal direction, just capturing their kidness (is that a word?) . . . I have a TON of fantastic photos . . . it was hard to pick, but here are some of my favorites . . .

I'll post some more later . . .

Whew . . . What a weekend!

Happy Belated Memorial Day! I know, I've been a bad blogger . . . I've been spending all my time over at http://www.designsindigital.com/ and the PageFrocks blog . . . this contest is consuming all of my time lately! But I did take a long weekend for the holiday. Jeremy and I were quite busy . . . no football game, but we spent a lot of time with family!

On Saturday evening, we went to Bonnybrook Riding Club where my mom and stepdad, Walter, were camping with the horses. Denita and her family joined us and we shared dinner over the campfire . . . we had chicken and steak kabobs, roasted herbed potatoes, angel food cake with strawberries and of course . . . smores (and more smores)!

My favorite photos from that day include my mom's new dog, Honeybun, and the elusive Jeremy . . .

On Sunday, we went back to volunteer/help at the Bonnybrook Riding Club Gaming Show. If you've never been to one, you must!! They are so exciting! Seriously . . . I would do this! What a patriotic way to start off the show . . . (actually they do this for every show, but it still gives me chills.)


Later in the afternoon, we headed to Jeremy's parents for a cookout and to visit with his Grandparents who traveled from Virginia to spend the weekend with family.

On Monday, we joined Denita's family at a local park to celebrate Toby's 10th birthday!! This is becoming a tradition and is a great way to spend an afternoon!

My favorites shots of the kids . . .

Afterwards, several of us followed him to his baseball game (where they got special shirts for the holiday weekend - what a great coach!). Toby is really quite good . . . do you see everyone looking at how far he hit the ball! This was his first hit too!

This weekend, we have a football game in Lykens . . . next weekend will be the last home game. Hope to see you there!

My Scrapbook Design Contest Entry!

Ok - so you all have to mosey on over to the new blog . . . Page Frocks . . . and check out my scrapbook design for the NDIDDS contest. There are over 50 participants, but I'm feeling good about it . . .

Grand prize is a design spot in the store and a year's worth of free advertising. Here is my entry for the first week:



We are judged on more than just downloads, although that is big part of it because it demonstrates our ability to market ourselves and the demand for our work. So, go download it here!! It is FREE, FREE, FREE . . .

Jen Graduated with her Master's Degree!

I was so proud of my youngest sister, Jen, tonight when she graduated with her Master's in Social Work from Shippensburg University! She's worked long and hard for this, but if you know Jen . . . she's not done yet.

Maniax vs. Brawlers

So we went to Laurence Harbor, New Jersey for a game this weekend against the Bayshore Brawlers. It was an exciting game with the score being pulled back and forth between the two teams. It finally tipped in their favor . . . here are my favorite shots of the game . . .

Jeremy is taking this guy out by his legs . . .



How many Brawlers does it take to bring down one Maniax player? . . .

Home game next Saturday . . . call if you need directions!
