Making S'mores

Making s'mores round the fire pit with Ben, Maddy, & Gabe

 



Newburg parade

waiting for the Newburg Memorial parade to begin. I had my head propped up on my camera bag reading my Kindle and Dan was pretending that stick was his wand and he also stuck one of those "tree helicopters" on my pinkie toe! haha

Pampered Chef

I got SO much free stuff from my Pampered Chef party

You should really have one of your own :-)

Cheesecake

yummy almond cheesecake (i never make them look this fancy hehe)



Chad & Jess

So excited to be able to get the opportunity to take pictures on Saturday of my bestest brother, Chad and his over the top awesome girlfriend, Jess. We were home together in Tamaqua over the weekend to celebrate Mother's Day and when deciding where we should shoot the photos, I thought that it would be so perfect and beautiful to take photos while we were doing the Leigh Valley wine tour with our family. My idea for the setting proved to be a great idea because these pics turned out gorgeous (and it isn't just because Chad and Jess are seriously two of the prettiest people I know!! hehe)

Keep me Warm

 "Mrs. Eckenrode, please keep us warm!"

(we were outside for an assembly and they thought cuddling my legs would keep them warmer. Actually, it helped keep me quite warm! haha)

 

Blaze is 2

Had so much fun doing this photo shoot. Headed over to West Penn Park (back home in Tamaqua) with my aunt Karen, aunt Susan, and Taryn. thank goodness for their help as well :-) The first 20 mins or so all I got was pictures of Blaze's back (little stinker turned away every time I got near him)
But eventually, he warmed up to me, remembered who I was (maaaybee haha), and of course, there was LOTS of swedish fish. (I started joking around that he is just gonna turn into Palvov's dog when he sees me coming towards him with my camera. He will KNOW that Swedish fish are on the way! LOL)
Hope you enjoy these pics as much as I do!
