Embrace the camera

I was recently reading a blog that I look at every now and then and then as always it led me to another blog, and then another (this why I have to be careful reading blogs, it can eat up my day) and I came across Emily and her "Embrace the Camera" challenge.

Basically it is a challenge for you to take pictures with your children. What she is saying is that we are mostly behind the camera taking pictures of the babes and we do not get in the pictures ourselves. Mom's always have excuses about the way they look- no make-up, bad hair day, still in my jammies. But when your children are older these are the pictures that they will cherish most! Even though I hate to say it, she is right.

So here is the start of my baby girl Paxton and I embracing the camera!

Fall and go Boom?

That's exactly what Jud did while playing basketball. Can you imagine being 6'7" and falling down. Ouch! Check out his ankle. This picture is about a week after it happened and it still looks this bad!

I know how some of you guys l-o-v-e feet. This one is for y'all!

My Precious Little Things

Check out our Fur Babies...

Pierce (Impiercinator/ Piercie Poo)

He looks so sophisticated!

Bella (Bella Roo, Poopy Roo, Toot Toot)

Play Ball with her and you will forever have her heart.

If you don't this is precious, then you are probably evil!

It's Spring Time!

We have been keeping busy around Casa de Adams. We planted our flower bed for the spring and put a little stone border around it. For some reason, I did not get any pictures of the stone border so I will try post more soon. In the meantime, here are some of our pretty flowers.

Now I am not claiming to be Neil Sperry or anything, but these are pretty dang good considering I can't ever keep anything alive! Maybe I will get better every year. Oh and yes, we were taking pictures at night :)

Check out the daisy in the middle below. It's a conjoined twin!

Now we are just playing with the new camera... A lot to learn but the pictures sure are purdy!

We will see how long we can keep them alive!

Jeremy and Melissa's Wedding

Jeremy, my old roommate from when I first moved back to Texas from AZ got married on March 21st. After I met Jeremy I became really close friends with is girlfriend Melissa. I was actually a brides maid in the wedding. We are so happy for them! The venue was at A&M Gardens in Azle. It is so peaceful there. Can someone please make my backyard look like this?!? Melissa, of course, looked beautiful in the wedding dress her mom made her! It was amazing all the work her Mom put into this wedding.

Jud was trying to get a pic of me walking in.

St. Patty's Day 2009

So it has become a tradition that a big group of us get together and we go to the block party on Greenville Avenue for St. Patty's Day. It always turns out to be a crazy great time! This year it was colder than poop though! Both Nikki and I were feeling under the weather so we ended up calling it a short day compared to normal.

Chad and Jessica's Wedding

Jud's friend Chad's wedding was on March 7th. Jud and Cody were ushers and Jared was the man. Since the wedding was Ft. Worth we decided to all go in together and get a suite so we did not have to worry about driving all the way back that night. The wedding was at the YWCA in downtown. It was a very pretty venue. Jessica (the bride) looked beautiful and change looked so happy. Their little girl Emma was such a little angel! Here are some pics from our gang through out the night.
