New Camera!

We have been throwing the idea around about getting a new camera. We thought long and hard about it and decided to wait until we go overseas, because then we could have the newest version and of course the best! Well, our friend Jack ruined those plans! He found us a camera on Amazon that was "a great deal that we shouldn't pass up!" Thanks Jack. BJ looked at it, got excited, and we now have a new Canon Rebel T1i. Our reasoning behind getting it now was we could take better pictures of Olivia growing up and...we used my Scentsy money to purchase it. So thanks all who have bought Scentsy this past year...you are the reason for our awesome new camera!Olivia was excited about the camera too!Photoshoot!!She is great at sharing! She always offers whatever she has to anyone! She might "Psych" you out though and pull it back!Olivia waking up from a nap!She LOVES cheese! I guess she is a true Wisconsinite!Playing with daddy! I love my family and our new camera! Now we just need to learn how to take good pictures!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

What is it...I don't know!!!!
Oh yeahhhh! My very own sewing maching! I have been wanting one for a while now! I have been wanting to start making crafty things, and who knows...maybe even clothes!

We celebrated my birthday over a couple of days! As you know, we went to the bed and breakfast for our birthdays combined. Then, on my birthday (the 4th), BJ took me to PF Changs and this really cool movie theatre to see Unknown. I don't think we were able to breath the entire time...very intense! The movie theatre is really cool because instead of chairs, there are a bunch of loveseats! You might think "gross", but they are actually very clean! In this picture, we went to the mall in Racine, WI (45 minutes away). We didn't just go to the mall to go shopping...as we could have done this in Waukesha. No, we went there to eat at....CHICKFILA!!

Here are the guys (minus Sean) hanging out in the mall talking about how they are going to build our kids the playground that they are sitting on when we get to the tribe!!!

Here are the girls (minus Jinny) exhausted from shopping in Chidren's place, and listening to the guys talk about building playgrounds in the tribe! I had a great birthday. It was special that my friends came and ate Chickfila and had Dairy Queen cake with us. And it was really great to go on a date with BJ. We hadn't been to the movies in I don't know how long. Thanks Amy and Kelsey for watching Olivia! Stay tuned to see what my new projects are that I make with my new sewing machine!!!
