Witchin' good time!!!

Took a much needed girls weekend trip to Salem!!!! Took witch portraits, went on a haunted pub crawl, and even had my aura photographed!!! Apparently i am totally grounded and my chakra is perfectly centered, open, and burning bright... It was recommended that i enlist an advisor to teach me in the ways of the spirit world.. since my aura is that of a natural born witch!!! So for those of you that have doubted that i am fabulously super natural TAKE THAT!!! lmao!!

Happy Birthday Nenny!!

Adrienne turned 17 today!

I really can't believe that the time

has flown by so quickly.

One second she was tiny and

the next she is driving around in her own car!!

We love you Nen, and hope that

you have an amazing year!

Marc & Notch

My beach portraits are almost done!

Here is another peek at how they are coming out!!

i am so excited... i will never go to a photo studio

in the mall ever again!!

They are beautiful and i may have to print

every last one and make a beach scrapbook!!

Got Crabs??

Went to the bay and did some crabbin'!
Only caught 17 but it was beautiful out.
We need to make a point of going out

on the boat more often.

It was the perfect family outing!

Family Portraits

we got to island beach state park bright and early!

The weather was beautiful and everyone cooperated!

(can you believe it?)

Here is a sneak peek at some of the pictures..

I can't wait to get the rest of them!!

Caffeine!!

I have a little bit of a soda addiction!!
(usually starting my 1st one before 9am!)
This summer i vowed to cut down...
I've been doing fairly well... Until i walked into 7-11!!
They now have a DOUBLE big gulp!!

Caff Pow!!!

It is literally bigger then my head!!
Seriously??!!! no one has that much will power...
May need to change my vow to
"I will not go to 7-11!"

Marshmallows Everywhere!!

We went to Seaside the other night... Bryce tried to win a Marshmallow shooter at one of the games. $30 later he finally won!! The guy took it off the shelf and Bryce was so excited. That is until he showed him how it worked.. It was a blow gun!! That is right the asthmatic tried all night to win a lung powered marshmallow gun!! He was so disappointed....here is a video of Marc's solution to the problem!! FYI it shoots over 40 feet!!!

(pause music at the bottom of the page if you want sound effects!!)

It's a Jersey Thing

Blueberry Picking!

today was a beautiful day.. The kids and i jumped in the car and

went to Emery's farm.. We had a great time and it was our most

successful picking adventure ever.

(Bryce usually jumps around so much that his

fruit is more like a sauce when we are done!)

We have dusted off a bunch of blueberry recipes.

The blueberry upsidedown cake was a huge hit!

May need to head out for more before the end of the season!!

Want Smore???

How does chocolate make everything better? :)

The kids had the best time making smores every night!

The campfire was defenitely one of the trip highlights.

The whole family enjoyed just sitting around the fire so much that

we are getting a firepit for the backyard!

So grab your marshmallows and head on over!!

a peek at nature..

I have always taken a lot of pictures.

My kids have always been the main focal point.

Being surrounded by "wilderness" inspired me

to take pictures from a different point of view.

I enjoyed the quiet walk and love the way the pics came out.

Could i possibly fit in another hobby??!! :)

Cabin Fever!!

Just got back from our 1st family camping trip!!

It turned out to be one of the most relaxing

family vacations we have ever taken.

Lancaster Pa. is beautiful and i took about a million pictures.

(well 700 to be exact!)

Can't wait to take our next cabin adventure!
