Love sweet love..........

impromptu photo shoot with as of today......... the new Mr. & Mrs.......

 I love these candid moments

This kept making me laugh because they could not get the heart right, could be the hand size difference ;)

For the love of VP baseball

Ryan, my neighbor is one of the catchers for the Villa Park Spartans freshman team, I have gone to a couple of his games and was inspired at the actual mechanics of baseball, I mean really, have you ever really looked at baseball from a mehcanical view? For the pitcher, there are so many mechanics that have to align to throw the perfect strike ball, for the catcher your glove has to be in the strike zone for the ump to see, for the outfielders its all about how many steps forward or backwards do i have to take in order to be under the ball at the exact moment it drops..... When you stop looking at baseball as america's favorite past time even for a few minutes you finally see it from the players eyes....

Gnomes

I told you I was a little crazy right..... Well, for Christmas this year I purchased members in my family NFL gnomes based on their teams.... For my husband I got him a Raiders gnome, my mom a Packers, my cousin a Saints, my brother-in-law a Chargers and for our friend Nate who really is a member of our family a Eagles gnome. Each gnome was wrapped up and placed under the Christmas tree. They were handed out at the same time and all were told not to open it until they were told, the idea was to have them all open them at the same time and see their reactions, unfortunately due to a bad case of food poisoning I was stuck at home but my ever so sweet husband face timed me on our ipads so i could see the reactions. Once all the gnomes were open the gnome wars had began. The idea is to steal the gnomes from whom ever has them and do crazy fun stuff with them and send the pictures to everyone.. Well, while I was doing Megan's photo shoot I brought the gnomes along, here is what came out of it.......

 This could be their Christmas card

I will keep you update on the latest antics of the gnome wars so stay tuned!!!

Megan

Megan is my beautiful next door neighbor who is gradating high school this year. Over the last year we have developed a very close friendship despite the age difference ( lucky for us I do NOT act my age and she is wise beyond her years). I wanted to do something fun for her so I took her on an impromptu photo shoot by our house. The backdrops are beautiful but the real beauty of the picture is Megan, she is stunning and most importantly she had fun and that came through in her photos. Here are some pics from that day.

Megan, Thank you for being so much fun and going along with my crazy vision!!!
