Baseball at the Box

We are well into the swing (no pun intended) of and are enjoying cheering on, our now 5-0, LSU baseball team. We took the boys to a game this week and boy-howdy did they have a blast!!

Here's a collage of puctures to prove it...




By the way~~call me lazy if you would like; but Picasa makes it so cotton-pickin easy to create a collage and Blogger is so darn slow at uploading photos, that I have decided...collages are the way to go. You can also click on them to enlarge.
I will be back at the Box tomorrow for more baseball. Have a great weekend everybody!

my purse....revealed!

I was tagged earlier in week by my friend from AL whom I really hope to meet IRL on the MckCrusie, http://twentylittlepiggies.blogspot.com/.




I have seen this tag several times on others' blogs and find it astoundingly interesting. The concept/rules are simple....take a pic of your purse and show us what it looks like. Then, dump out the contents of your purse, take another pic, and tell everyone all about the contents of your purse.



So here's my current purse....it's a leather, orange number from Target two years ago






Here's the inner contents of my purse....looking pretty organized; only because, I had just, the day prior to receiving this purse tag, switched to this purse from my previous one.






And what do we have.....makeup bag, picture wallet, wallet, coupon organizer, nasal spray, mints, name tag for work, cell phone belt clip






There you have it....



It's your turn.....Leanna, Kristan, Lacie, Rebecca, and Trish!!


random photo challenge 7.0

It's Saturday morning and that means Brittany at 4 Little Men & Girly Twins is hosting Random Picture Challenge.


What's the real challenge you ask? The challenge is....abiding by the actual picture that she has picked. Not picking a picture from your folder around the same number that she picked becasue you like it better or it is a better picure from a photography standpoint.


This week....

September 2007
11th picture

The picture above is my 11th picture from my September 2007 folder. From a photography standpoint, it isn't superb; but, I like it, nonetheless. It is a picture of both boys taken on my parent's back patio as we were there visiting for Labor Day weekend. Buck-a-roo was 2 1/2 and Frank-o was 15 months and still very hooked on the paci.

Fix-It Friday (#4)

I participated in Fix-It Friday #1, sponsored by i Y faces. Due to my boys' surgeries and recoveries, I missed Fix-It Friday #2 and #3, so here I am back for Fix-It Friday #4.



I enjoy the concept of Fix-It Friday. It is an opportunity to take a photograph, usually professionally taken, show off one's post production skills, and receive feedback and positive ciritcism in an effort to hone one's post production skills even further.

The original (SOOC) is the color photo in the bottom left hand corner of the collage and my version, post-production, is the black&white.

As a side note on this TGIF, this is my 250th post....WooHoo!!

Flashback Friday

This week's Flashback Friday is all about Buck-a-roo!

It is so hard for me to believe that my oldest son will be FOUR next week. The picture below is from two years ago around the time when we moved into our current home. He had just turned two, gotten his first crewcut like his dad, and was sporting his first pair of Cowboy boots. One thing you should know about this kid....he loves boots, work boots, rain boots, cowboys boots, ALL boots!

Wordless Wednesday (well, almost)

Happy Ash Wednesday to all fellow Catholics! Don't forget....that today is a day of fasting between meals and abstinence from meat.
