Baby Molly!

   So I just wanted to add some of the most amazing baby photos that I took recently of my cousins first child! Here she is Ms. Molly...I offered to create a baby announcement for her and here are some of my favorite shots! Of course when I found out that she was having a girl I had to start crocheting cute things for her! Below is a newborn nest that I crocheted. Since babies grow so fast the nest was a tad bit small but the picture turned out perfect!

  We then moved little Molly onto her stomach and I caught her at the right moment! She could barely lift her tiny head up and with my magical photography skills I got the shot! She is so innocent & adorable.

"Special Delivery!"

   The hat that she is wearing below was the second thing that I ever knit! The peach colored pom pom hat is her mommies favorite hat, so of course I have to make more!

More cuteness!

Here is the final birth announcement...

I am interested to hear some of your opinions...I would greatly appreciate any & all comments that you have! I am thinking about bringing photography back into my life again, maybe even starting to make a little profit off my photography experience. I have been looking into purchasing an SLR digital camera to start creating photography or graphic designs for friends & family. If you have any projects that you want done please let me know. Maybe even some crochet or knit items for photography props...I am open for business!

Summer is ending soon!

   Well here we are in August & I am already seeing "back to school" ads....CRAZY! I do have to say that my Summer has been a great! My husband and I went to the West Coast, we went to Las Vegas and California.
  
   Before we left for vacation we celebrated Bob's 29th birthday. I purchased the most delicious cake from Simmas Bakery in Wauwatosa. The cake was chocolate ganache frosted, marble cake with espresso mousse! By far the best birthday cake I have ever bought! I look forward to going to Simmas again for a cup of coffee & pastry with a friend.
  

   After celebrating Bob's birthday we were off to Vegas! We stayed at the New York, New York hotel which was GREAT! There are so many different things to do & eat! I have to recommend going with Expedia! We purchased our flight and hotel through Expedia and we received a free "buffet a day" so that definitely saved us money! We went to see two Cirque du Solei shows the first one was Elvis at the Aria hotel & casino. The second show was Ka at the MGM Grand hotel & casino. They both were great but I liked Ka better because it was more theatrical!

   Towards the end of our Vegas stay we visited Lake Mead/ The Hoover Dam for a day. We got to swim in Lake Mead and bake in the HOT sun! You can say that Bob & I truly enjoyed Las Vegas!

   After our 3 night we checked out of our Vegas hotel to pick up our rental car to head to Thousand Oaks, CA. There we stayed with some friends that went to college with Bob. They sure did show us a good time in California, we went to the beach paddleboarding, went to Malibu vineyards to taste wine and of course sunbathed by the pool/hot tub at his parents luscious backyard!

  From there we set off for our last California journey! We drove 6 hours to Mammoth Lake, CA a gorgeous cabin-like hotel and is surrounded by lush snow covered mountains! Yes there was still snow on all or most of the caps in June! After spending one night in Mammoth Lake we drove 3 more hours to Yosemite! The drive to Mammoth & Yosemite was scary and way too long!

   By the end of the trip we were seriously ready to get back home but we were very happy that we could take the time off to have an awesome vacation! Bob and I decided that our next vacation will be a tropical, all inclusive destination! We are looking forward to it!
