A BeardedLady Christmas

What a great Christmas! This was our first Christmas with kids involved and it was so much fun to just snap snap snap away at every move they made. Caraline loved eating the bows and playing with the paper and reaching for everyone's drinks. She's starting to develop her own personality and it's so much fun to watch her! Madison, our 6 year old niece, is so sassy and funny. She is hilarious. We love them. Here are some pictures of our Christmas.

mounds and mounds of presents.

Madison got a notepad to practice her writing in and this is what she wrote : )

We played Pretty Pretty Princess!

And we played Twister!

It was fun. The end.

Please go to my IWYS profile and comment,rate and share this video with everyone you can. I really want to be one of the 4 people they hire for 2011!!!

Let's play some catch-up?!

OOOOOOOOK, so it's been a few days. Busy, busy, busy. Columbus was AMAZING! We're already planning another trip to visit our friends Bethany and Aaron, as well as an early spring family vaca together to Nashville!!! Gonna be some good times.

On Saturday, we went to Columbus' Oktoberfest. Day 14 is the first picture, the other two are extras...


It was still dark when left from Columbus, so we got to see the sunrise. It was amazing...and day 15


Day 16 was monday, and band practice day for The Waking Point. We needed an updated picture, so with the help of the self-timer, this is the end product:


and for day 17, we had coupons to try Chick-Fil-A's new spicy chicken nuggets. AMAZING? How could they put out anything thats not? Seriously. The cow agrees....



p.s., sorry the pictures are all over the place. its acting goofy when i try to post.
Hope you enjoy, regardless.

Day 13

So we forgot the camera at our friends' house last night so no real shots....but we did get a picture of the delicious Jeni's Ice Cream in Columbus, OH.
Lanna got Salty Caramel and Pistachio Honey. I got the Salty Caramel and the Bourbon Buttered Pecan. OMG! There's ACTUALLY bourbon in this ice cream and it's AMAZING! Seriously, if you're ever in columbus (or anywhere else where there's a Jeni's) you have to stop and get some ice cream. Some of the best i've ever had. Click the picture below to show your support.


Going to Columbus' Octoberfest today with the Bentons. Looking forward to NOT forgetting the camera again and getting some awesome shots for you. The next post might be a good'n.

12.

Got my face rocked tonight by my good friends Brent Reed, Jonny B. Tony and Randy at Fountain Square for the Midpoint Music Festival. These guys are incredible and i look forward to sharing the stage with them soon. I tried to get some good shots of them on stage, but the lighting was awful and we have inadequate gear to get good night time shots while stuff's moving all around and such. One day =)

Anyway, here are a couple of shots that turned out pretty good i think.

i actually like the motion blur in this. Most of the time blurriness can ruin a shot, but this one just feels right to me. If you haven't listened to Brent's music, check it out here


This one is by far my favorite of the night, and the picture for Day 12. Jonny, if you've never met him, is one of the kindest people i know. He's got such a heart for people, and this picture portrays that, i think. Again, the motion blur makes it awesome, for me.

We're heading to Columbus this weekend to visit a couple friends. Should be an awesome time and there WILL be pictures. If we don't update while we're there, lookout for the day 13 and 14 all at once =)

Something a little different....

Crossroads is doing a series called "PLAY", so in lieu of that, i wanted to give you some videos that make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.


This is how the series started... a flash mob to "Fireflies" by Owl City



"Marcel the Shell with Shoes On"



This one reminds me of our friend Seth. Cracks me right up.
