Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Little Moments

Touch-Up Tuesday!

"When you photograph people in colour you photograph their clothes. But when you photograph people in B&W, you photograph their souls." -Ted Grant {via}

The artist in me!

Remember this ?

Well...we went back for round 2 and tried our hand at another masterpiece!

The birds were pretty tricky...I think I may need some more practice! :)

But the class was a lot of fun!

And for some reason while painting this I had an old song playing in my head...

(it's a song by The Carpenters that my mom used to sing to me when I was a little girl)

"Why do birds suddenly appear
Every time you are near?
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you"

YouCapture: Orange

Found this little guy hanging out on my car the other day...

He was orange with faded black spots.

Did you know?!...
There are hundreds of different kinds of ladybugs all over the world. There are about 500 different kinds in the United States and nearly 5,000 world wide. They come in all different colors, too. Reds, yellows, orange, gray, black, brown and even pink!

Up-Up and Away!

Woke up yesterday to a nice little surprise in the neighborhood...

Sugar & Spice!

This past weekend we took a drive through the beautiful hill country to a sweet Texas town called Spicewood! And boy was it nice to get away from the big city! You'll understand why after seeing these pictures! Everything about this past weekend (minus the Aggies losing to Arkansas) was perfect!

Not only did we enjoy some amazing weather...

but we also watched as these two love birds tied the knot!

{I adore this picture...don't you just love the way he is smiling at her?!}

It was definitely a bright & cheery day on 10.10.10 in Texas!




The reception venue was so cute! I loved all the details...

Especially this "Snap Station"!

We of course had to have a little fun with it!

Love these girls!

and these boys!

And we can't forget the sweets!

Congrats Katie! Everything about your special day was beautiful!

Here's to a lifetime of love and happiness!

May you have many years of sunsets and s'mores!
