They only get faster

Our latest attempt at a family portrait. :) LOL!
Mercedes is getting so big and she now rolls everywhere. Not crawl or scoot..she rolls. It's so cute. However yesterday she rolled to my plant and grabbed hold and next thing I know she's eating it! Oy... She has two new teeth and is loving trying them out on everything. She also had her first oreo. Sooo cute. I think that my friend put it well when she said "Amanda, they only get faster".

Not much else going on here. All the leaves fell off our trees yesterday and thanks to the wind we don't have that much to rake up! YAY! We are excited about Eric and Abbey's wedding on Saturday too! I'll post some pictures of them. Okay, time to make cookies!

More pictures of Sam's wedding as promised. And these are some of my favorites. There are so many to choose from. Mercedes was of course more interested in my flower then the camera or this picture would have been my new favorite of all of us together. She is so cute though. She had her six month visit today and the Dr. told me that she is bigger then 80% of most babies her age. But she is perfectly healthy. Whew!

Mercedes

Here are some updated pictures of my princess Mercedes. She has gotten big since the last pictures I posted. We haven't been up to much. I'm sad about summer ending but at the same time I am ready for the season to change. Well, here she is lately. Still getting cuter every day if possible! ;)

Sambolina's wedding

My baby sister got married yesterday. The wedding was soo beautiful and Samantha looked amazing. I was the maid of honor of course:). The best part was seeing her so happy and spending time with my family. More pictures later.

Flickr.com

My nephew Anthony introduced me to flickr. It is a cool photosharing website that lets you post pics and critique others. There are some really awesome photos on there and I just uploaded some of mine. Here are some examples of what you'll find. Anthony took the one of the truck and the other two are mine (thats Anthony aka chovy;). I love taking pictures so there will be more of our stuff on our flickr websites. Check them out! :)
