My Two Little Cuties... and the Cat

These were taken yesterday right after I put my new bed spread on the bed. (The old one was ruined thanks to my great washing machine skills... I shouldn't ignore the "Dry Clean Only" sign.... Lesson learned!!

So anyways back to the cuties. The girls... as adorable as they are thought that making a bed meant that they could jump on it. After asking them numerous times to quit throwing my pillows on the ground... Olivia got an idea in her head to do "Picture Time"

I am always up for that... so this is what we got. The girls were happy to be my lil models... and even the Cat joined in for a shot...

Skeeter was Exceptionally Adorable this Week!

So our new cat is hilarious... He is extremely curious and is into everything! I caught him in my daughters doll stroller today... so of course she started pushing him around. It was so adorable. I quickly grab my camera as quick as I could before he jumped out and thankfully he didn't. After about 5 minutes he finally got out and Madison was so upset. She tried to get him back in... but he wouldn't have it and run under the bed where he is safe from kids and dogs. LOL...!

Here I am laying on the ground. I new the cat was on the other side laying on the cushions. I started scratching the couch to see what he would do and he peeked over to see what the noise was. He looks so goofy in this picture!

He loves to play in my blinds too.


Just imagine me laying on the ground while my cat is on the couch... uncomfortable and trying to get a picture. To get his attention I had to scratch the couch... here is a picture of him trying to attack my hand.
Just hanging out getting fur all over my couch!
I caught him in the boy's room sitting on their bookshelf... I ran as fast as I could to get this shot! Too funny!
hanging out like a little doll... and no this was not staged.. he did this on his own
Madison enjoyed every moment of this
So there you have it... if you needed an animal fix... this is the right place to be! Have a great weekend!

Fix-It Friday #40 - Hands-On Photo Editing Fun!


In celebration of http://www.iheartfaces.com/ birthdaythis month we had to photo edit a birthday photo.

To be honest... this photo "I thought" didn't need editing... so I just played with it a little! So in honor of I Heart Faces Birthday and the Victory of Boise State Bronco's Fiesta Bowl win on Monday... here is my contribution to the photo!

What I did:
1) Rotated, Cropped and sharpened photo with photoshop 7
2) Replaced colors with photoshop 7
3) Cross Processing using Nik Color Effex
4) Vigenette Blur using Nik Color Effex and delted any blur around the boy and the table to draw attention to him and not the subjects behind him
5) Slight Glamour glow with Nik Color Effex


AFTER

(P.S. Go Broncos! the only other undefeated team this year besides Alambam the National Champions!)

P.S.S. Sorry Amy the Longhorns didn't win... but I did root for them the whole game!! And they almost made a comback!

Go Boise Bronco's at the Fiesta Bowl vs. TCU

Today is the biggest game of the year for Bronco Nation. It is what our team has worked for all year long. We stand undefeated at this point and cannot wait to play against TCU. Again (as always it seems) we are the under ranked team. We should and may not win this team! But we are hopeful and we have heart and maybe we will have another Cinderells story like we did two years ago.

My husband was supposed to attend this game. He had tickets, a hotel and a ride... But now he is home with me fighting tonsilitis... poor guy!

I cannot wait to see the outcome of this game! It will be a great game. I have watche Boise state for a couple of years now and the more and more I watch them play the more and more I love the game... and it is because our team seriously has so much heart and love for the game and that is why I believe we are undefeated. It helps that our coach and some of our players are Believers so I also think we are a team with God on our side! :D

Two years ago our team prior to the game was compared to David and Goliath... (We were David ) Sooners were Goliath... and if anyone is familiar with the story then everyone new David had God on his side and defeated Goliath... just like we did the Sooners...

Until then... here is pictures of my BSU cuties...and some crazed fans! GO BOISE STATE!


Madison was born a BSU Fan! LOL

3 of the cutest fans ever!
Getting ready for the game!

My crazed boise State Fans!
Did we get the touchdown?!?
Our fans are "Priceless!"
During the Sooners game at the Fiesta Bowl in 2007
Aren't Crazed Boise State Fans the Best!
I think we won... what do you think!
Oh... They are sitting "Ducks" out there LOL! I would hate to be these Ducks fans right now.... they are surrounded by crazed Boise Fans! Oh and there over ranked team lost lost to our under ranked team...TWICE!! :D

At the Fiesta bowl... Where are all the Sooners Fans? Look at all that blue and orange out there!

The notorius blue turf!
I just love our team!
