See ya Summer, it's finally FALL!

I'm attempting more changes with this blog and I don't know what the heck I'm doing!  I've now changed this blog to a larger format but lost my dashboard.  Talk about FREAK out moment!  I have gotten it back (obviously since I'm now writing this, lol!).  I just didn't realize that in order to become a photographer I was going to have to become a computer specialist as well.  The things God has me learn :)

Well the main reason for this blog isn't to scream about computer stuff, it's to celebrate the end of summer.  I'm not a huge fan of 100+ temps and 200% humidity ;)  I am however a HUGE fan of fall color, cool temps, pumpkin patches, and spicy scents.  I figured I'd celebrate by posting a few images from our summer.  Kinda killing two birds with one stone.  I am also entering a contest for a Tamron lens (cross your fingers!) titled, "Summertime Rituals", and these are my entries.

I figured I'd say my official "hallelujah!" to the beginning of fall....  "HALLELUJAH and THANK YOU JESUS!!!!"

We celebrated Em's 10th birthday back in May.  She decided she wanted a *SPLASHTACULAR Birthday* complete with a slip-n-slide, water balloons, races, and of course FOOD!  They had a fabulous time flying down the slide, and I had a BLAST capturing it, teehee!

Ahhhh, summertime picnics....  nothing like a romantic moment with muh hunny down by the lake around sunset.  I have to admit though, while my hunny WAS with me, he was there as my assistant, lol!   I actually took this for a sweet friend of mine for her wedding "Save the Date" cards :D  Truth, yeouch!

And the final entry, my precious man's FAVORITE food....  :)  This one's for you Greggy!

I can't believe it's been a year already.  I can't WAIT for fall!  We had such amazing color last year.  I'm praying He displays His glory even more fantastically this season :)
