Embrace the Camera



I'm linking up with Emily at the anderson crew for this great idea. 
It's called Embrace the Camera.  
I love this idea, because more times than not - I am the one behind the camera. I don't want my kids to say, 'Mom where were you in this picture?'

"One day, we won't be around.
Do we really just want to be a distant memory?  Or do we want pictures to remind our loved ones of what we once were. Regardless of how we look or feel, I promise that they will treasure those photos one day." ~Emily

So, I encourage you to Embrace the Camera! :)


After the Cheer competition we went out to eat at Chili's. Courtney and I grabbed at least 1 picture of us before my phone died. :\  But 1 is better than none! :)

Me & my Hunny :)


I know it seems I have a lot of pictures of me and Killian on here lately - but hopefully with school out in 2 weeks, (THANK GOD!!!) I will be getting a slew of pictures of me and all the kids.



On Tuesday, I finally went to the DMV to get my North Carolina Drivers License.  I have been putting this off for almost 4 years :( I know I know...
But I got it! I passed every question, every sign they threw at me, the eye exam....all of it!
I am a terrible test taker so naturally the anxiety of it all kept me from going...but also because it is hard to take the driving test with 3 small children.  Both of those factors combined with: 

DMV: 'You can't get your driver's license until you have registration for your car with your new name on it. Oh! but you can't register your car until you have a NC license...

Really?! They make it ridiculous to obtain residency and change everything over from SC to NC.

Anyway...that is all done. I am so thrilled & relieved!

After I finished, I came home and Clay took me and Killian out for brunch.  He happen to catch a few pictures while we were finishing up.  Killian was in a very silly mood. :)



I absolutely LOVE this smile.  He is the sweetest little boy :)

Hope everyone is having a great week. 
 It's already Thursday & I can't believe it...

  4. These pictures are just precious! I love that you were able to have brunch with Killian :-) he looks like he is a total ham.

    Goodness the NC DMV sounds like something from parking wars. Have you seen that show? They give people a total run around (sometimes its for a good reason) but sometimes I am scratching my head as well wondering why are they going in circles :-) happy that you finally got your license and that you don't have to worry about it anymore :-)
