Did everyone enjoy the Super Bowl? Or rather the commercials?   I think my favorite commercial was the dog that was to big to fit through the doggie door – so he worked out and then was able to run out the doggie door and chase the car.  All of the coke and polar bear commercials were pretty great  as well.  I found all of these pictures off of either pinterest or various websites – they are not mine

Since my fav commercial was the dog one – enjoy these dog pictures! 

I can see Bentley thinking the pillow popped and I crack up each time I see this picture.

Bentley needs to learn this kind of patience. I am lucky if I get one on his nose

The look kills me

That’s all!

Enjoy your monday!

Yay for new blog series! In my feeble attempt to blog more I have decided I need a series – Something that will start the week of with a bang and put me in the mindset to blog all week, or at least try… keyword: try.

Who isn’t obsessed with Pinterest? I find people either love it or hate it. I was on it for awhile and didn’t really do a whole lot with it.  I always just bookmark a page that I like and maybe in a couple months I might go back to it. I might take a screen capture if it is important information.  Those screen captures end up in a folder labeled ” Random ” on my desktop.  Guess how often I look into the random folder… I can’t even tell you how big it has gotten or how many items… I don’t want to know… eh, I kind of do.

Just looked.  My “Random” folder is now in the “Everything” Folder. I forgot I had made an Everything folder a month ago. Yikes.

Random folder has 6 GBs of info in it.

Everything folder ha 14GBs…

Terrifying isn’t it?

So, in walks Pinterest.  I can now like or pin all the fun things I find online or just browse other things that cool people have pinned. Yay!  I found all of these pictures off of random sites on pinterest or were uploaded by the user  :)

Onto the fun – Enjoy these little tidbits over your Monday morning breakfast!

YES! It finally makes sense!

This cracks me up each time I see it

And this one makes me laugh just as much…

The best part about this one was that I had just finished watching one of the Narnia movies on TV before I found that. YES!

This totally happened last week. Score.

Enjoy your Monday!

I know it has been so quiet on the blog the past couple of months.  It has been extremely busy over here and I have loved it! I have not had the time needed though to blog all the weddings and engagement sessions that I have been doing.  I keep having these amazing ideas that I will get caught up on blogging, but I am thinking it’s never going to happen!  I am going to slowly be working through the list though of sessions to get everything up here and up to date.   New Years res – blog more… I feel like that was last years…

And here is me torturing Bentley with some amazing Christmas photos.  I think last year he did better – he at least looked at the camera last year!

I hope everyone has had a great Labor Day weekend! It has been a busy one here over!   While I am busy editing this week and working on teasers, I figured I would post some photos I had planned to post a couple weekends ago while Hurricane Irene was going by.  I had Ross and Amy’s wedding that day and I ended up not getting a chance to post them.  Their wedding was on August 27th and was just a complete blast!  Look for their teaser, as well as Julia and Ryan’s, Bridgett and Chris’s and Tracey and Adam’s teaser this week on the blog.   For now I will just stick with gorgeous outer banks pictures from when I was there in 2010 and 2009.  Most of these images were taken along The National Seashore, Cape Hatteras, and Ocracoke.  I can’t wait till I get the chance to go back down there!

Side note – It’s like Antarctica outside!  I took Bentley out around 7am this morning and it was cold.. but not to bad.  I just took him out again before I started this blog post around 10am and it feels colder! ahh. Glad I brought Jeans up to my parental units for the weekend!

Ducks on Ocracoke Island,  NC

Ocracoke Island, NC

Ocracoke Island for the first image and Jockey Ridge. Two of my favorite places!

Jockey Ridge

Ocracoke Island, NC

Surfshop in Ocracoke Island, NC. This is one of my favorite images. I ended up making a canvas out of this print and it is happily hanging in my bedroom.

Jockey Ridge Park in Black and White! Yay! This is actually hanging in my office upstairs. I am not huge on hanging my own photographs in my house, but a couple of these I just love and couldn’t wait to get prints of or canvases to hang up in the house!

National Seashore down to Hatteras and Ocracoke Island.

Queen Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, NC

Jockey Ridge in the first image and hopefully everyone can recognize the second image.  It is the Wright Brothers National Memorial in Kitty Hawk, NC.

Gorgeous pictures of sunset over the sounds coming back form Ocracoke.

The first image my friend and I were driving back to the hotel so that he could catch the OSU game. We were just driving along and I just said that we had to stop because of how gorgeous the sunset was.. ” I am going to miss the start of the game!” he announced. I hopped out of the car when I finally convinced him to stop and took that first picture.  He actually agreed that the sunset was pretty when he was looking at it instead of just driving with the intent to see the kick off.  We got back a little bit after kick off, but that picture was well work being late!

Elizabethan Gardens in Manteo, NC. I highly suggest you go see these gardens if you can. There is an admissions fee to go into the gardens, but it is gorgeous as you can tell. They do have weddings there on the weekends it looked like! They were setting up for a wedding the Saturday that I was there. I am guessing that they close off the main garden area during this time for the weddings – so make sure you go during the weekdays if you want access to everything and no chance of a wedding!

Sunrise over Nags head

I hope everyone has enjoyed this little peak into the Outer Banks!

Enjoy your Labor Day!
