Logo help...

Hey... I'm not sure how many of you check out my photography blog also, but I am trying to design a logo and a look for that blog to make it more professional looking. I need some extra eyes to help me decide which logo to use. So if you could go check it out and let me know what you think. Thank you. I also changed the blog name and web address so make sure you save this one http://browneyedgirlphotography.blogspot.com/ .

What does your kid eat?

Trying to get some new meal ideas for Ashlyn. She could live off of oatmeal and pizza lol. She eats oatmeal or maltomeal almost every morning except for special days I have donuts on hand. She eats plenty of yogurt and diced peaches. I buy these individual size organic pizza's from HEB that she loves and I dont mind her eating since they have 7 whole grains so it's good for her. But other than the typical pb&j and chicken nuggets, mac and cheese, she needs more veggies! Does anyone have good meal ideas that your kid loves to eat especially those with a picky eater? Love to hear!

Checking in with pictures...

Well a lot has happened over the past week so I thought I'd update all in one. Last Thursday I went to Gruene with my older sister and my niece. We met in San Marcos Outlet at Pottery Barn FUN! I havent been there in years it's so nice and I need to go back and actually SHOP. From there we went to Gruene. We had lunch at the Grismill and then hit the shops around the area and of course had to go into the General store for Blue Bell ice cream! Gruene is such a pretty town, I hadn't been there since I was a child, it's so fun now that I'm an adult. I need to go back! Here are some pictures from that day.

Then, this weekend we were invited by the Stabeno family to go see Joe Scruggs concert on Saturday. I didnt get any picutres of that but it was fun. Ashlyn loved the Glow in the Dark show and the music. She is still talking about it. That day was also Maddie's 1st birthday so we then went over to Phil's Ice House off of Burnet Road. Why I have never been there I dont know but it's such a great place! It is a great hamburger place and shares a building with Amy's Ice Cream, lots of outdoor seating with a huge playground and shuffle board. Ashlyn had so much fun. I know it will become a favorite spot for our family when Luis gets home.

We also went down to the Pecan Street Fest on 6th which was nice, but didnt last long with the kiddos. But just reminds me how much I just love Austin!

Other than that, I'm taking another photography class of Friday nights and really enjoying it. I'm slowly but surely getting this business up and running and loving what I do.

Luis should hopefully be home in December and that's right around the corner!! It's very exciting, I cant wait to have him back home so he doesnt have to miss out on any more with us.

Ok lets talk TV!! I am SOO excited that the new seasons are beginning this week! But first...Army Wives, one of my FAV shows ever, it has been so good lately.

Grey's. Last we saw McDreamy walked away from Meredith on the candle lit hillside..where did he go? What will happen? Will they EVER get back together?

Desperate Housewives what is with this 5 years later business? I hope it doesnt skip that far in advance! think it's a dream or for real?

Ugly Betty will it be Gio or Henry? I personally like Gio and Betty together. We shall see!

Lipstick Jungle not sure if you have watched this one or not, but it's a new steamy drama for us women. 3 powerful business women, all best friend, their love life, business life, etc Very good show.

HEROES starts tonight but this is a show Luis loves and we watch together so I dont know whether to watch it now or wait until he's home and rent it? ahh not sure.

I'm sure I'm leaving off a few but I cant wait until they start. Too bad I dont have my own casa or I'd have a big Thurs night viewing party for Grey's and Ugly Betty.

It's almost October! Which means Halloween! What is your little critter going to be this Halloween? Ashlyn is really into Little Mermaid but I had thought tinkerbell too. I can't decide!

That about wraps it up! Have a great week!

Nicci's Wedding...pictures are up!

Nicci's wedding was so beautiful! I had such a wonderful time. I have been away from their family for too long! I love them all to death. I took quite a few pictures so I put them all in an album HERE so go check them out!! Nicci's brother, David, walked her down the aisle. It was so sweet. Nicci is on her honeymoon in Jamaica right now! I hope and pray the weather is clear and sunny for them. This was such a sweet and fun wedding. It was too short of a trip, I need to go back, Colorado is so pretty! K, go check out the pictures, enjoy!

I'm back...

Which means I left! I flew out on Friday morning with clear skies headed to CO to see my best friends that are so dear to me. Nicci..now Moralez got married at the Hudson Gardens Saturday. It was gorgeous. She was gorgeous. I can go years without seeing the King family but as soon as I do, it's like I'm back in the family all over again. I love each of them to pieces. Nicci married a great guy and his love for her was obvious as she walked down the aisle, it was hard to fight back the tears. I just wish I could have stayed longer. I left this morning which was a battle in itself, I'm SO tired and my feet from being in heels from morning to night are now reaping the consequences.
I took hundreds of pictures so once I have the energy to begin uploading them I will post them on Nicci's blog and some on mine.
Nicci and Matt head to Jamaica tomorrow morning. I wish them all the best life and love have to offer and I pray for sunny clear skies for their honeymoon.
Pictures to come...

YIKES IKE!

Ike should be called Yikes! This hurricane looks pretty bad, especially for Galveston. My heart goes out to everyone there and praying they all evacuate. I have family in Port Arthur who should be evacuating today but they aren't going fast enough.

I fly out in the morning to head to Colorado for Nicci's wedding! I cant wait to see her but I pray my flight doesn't get delayed because of the surge. I tried getting a flight out today but all of them were booked :( So pray that I get there in time to enjoy the day with her. But I'm dreading turbulance, I get motion sickness fast and easy and I'm leaving my baby girl behind :(
I havent seen Nicci in years so I'm so excited to see all of her family again. Of course I'll be taking my camera and I'll update her blog as well as mine probably Sunday night so be on watch since most of you know her too.

My prayers go out to everyone being effected by Hurricane Ike, especially that ship that is stuck in the ocean with no power. God watch over all of them.

Brown Eyed Girl

Hey Friends...
I just wanted to let everyone know that I have established a business name for myself. It's "Brown Eyed Girl Photography" I spent months trying to find the name that best suited me and also wanted it to have special meaning. Since Ashlyn was born, I have always sung to her "You're my brown eyed girl..." Till this day she knows the song and hey, my brown eyes are behind the camera so it all fit! I'm taking another class this semester to gain more knowledge and practice my skills. I'm trying to create a logo which isn't going as fast as I would like and then onto the blog and website. Until then continue to check out my other blog. I just added new pictures of my nieces.
And I just wanted to thank my friends, Lisa Woods and Keith Rizzo for helping me out and teaching me the ropes, they have been so helpful to me!
