Shower & Birthday Weekend Re-cap!

My birthday weekend started off right with my new camera being delivered! I ended up choosing the Nikon D3100 and check out this fabulous (stylish as well as soft on the inside) new strap Jay got me for my birthday from Lucky Straps!

Friday night, a few of the girls came down to celebrate my birthday the night before the shower. We went out to Jacky’s Galaxie for some delicious dinner & scorpion bowls (well, make that lemonade for me!)

Batman Sundays


This week for Batman Sundays we have...

Batman's headshots! Haha!

When Mandy came over to take our maternity pictures, the furball thought she was there to photograph HIM and kept jumping in front of the camera! She was super patient with him and I was so excited to see a couple of him made it into the final group of pictures!
