A few quirky tidbits!

Well I have found myself tagged once again which must mean that I'm so interesting that people really want to know more internal workings of my mind.


Here's how the tagging works:


After being tagged by my friend Danielle I have to share 6 random facts about myself and then tag 6 more people to pass on the funness to others.



ok on to the facts:


1. I actually kinda like the smell of my dog's breath. I swear sometimes that it smells like graham crackers.


2. I often will plan what I eat based on the condiments that go with it. For instance, I will plan a whole steak and potatoes meal if I'm craving A-1 sauce. Other condoments that I will plan meals around include but are not limited to: mustard, soy sauce, butter & sour cream.

3. I hate to brush my teeth but I love to wash my hands.

4. I'm an obsessive compulsive stuck in a procrastinator's body. Believe me the inner turmoil is incomprehensible.

5. I despise soggy food. It doesn't matter if it's a slightly soggy sandwich, a bowl of oatmeal, or enchiladas. It all makes me gag.

6. hmm.. I wish I had something really profound to share for my last fun fact but instead I'll close out by saying I like to put green olives on top of my spaghetti. And when I say like I mean I LOVE it!

Now I pass the torch on to:

Buster & Baby Grace

Warning- Extreme cuteness ahead!!

Yesterday was a fantastic afternoon hanging out with family. My cousin Emily just had a new baby, Grace, 3 1/2 weeks ago and this was my first time meeting her. She is absolutely perfect and beautiful and I have lots of photos to prove it.
We took advantage of the chance to get together with my cousin Phoebe (Emily's sister) and the super awesome Buster as well. It's been almost 2 months since I've seen this guy and I can't believe how much bigger he gets every time I see him. I just love to watch him look at Phoebe. He is so in love with her.Since he's a rockstar I had to do a few photos for his album cover.



And introducing Baby Grace! She is so tiny and so precious and has a great head of hair.


I'm pretty sure that she was pretending to sleep so that I would leave her alone. Don't you just love her perfect little nose.
Grace clearly did not like all the singing that we were doing.

She just didn't want to miss a thing and was very alert while we were doing photos. As a result we got some great facial expressions.
And we were able to capture her 1st real smile EVER!! My aunt Cat stopped by to get her grandbaby fix and Grace was just mesmerized by her.

Love this face.


back to Buster.
I'm a sucker for those adorable little baby details.
Of course we needed to get a few photos of the cousins together. It was hysterical to see them lay next to each other. Grace looked so tiny.
Proud momma and grandmomma admiring their babies.


I just thought this next one was funny.
We were able to scoop up Grace before Buster attacked but the cat was not so lucky.

Betsy & Tad in Havre de Grace

Betsy and Tad's wedding was my first official wedding of the season and it was fantastic. These beautiful people are just genuinely sweet and so in love and it was an honor to be able to capture all the excitement of their big day.
This is quite a famililar wedding party since Betsy is a close friend of my cousin Phoebe. You may also recognize many of the bridal party from Koren and Rick's wedding back in November. It's always great to show up to photograph a wedding and see so many familiar faces.
I'll just jump right in with the beautiful dress and flowers.

Betsy is hysterical and she was a fabulously laid back bride.
Not to mention she is adorable!

It was so cute when Betsy's mom came in and first saw Betsy as a beautiful bride.


On to the getting married..


The crazy couple and the gigantic bridal party.









Then on to the party!
The toasts were so funny and had everyone cracking up. Koren did a great job and her toast was complete with a wolf appearance.

There were several preggo bridesmaids and baby bumps galore. Betsy and her dad
And one more fun one to end out the night.
Congratulations Betsy & Tad!
