Portraits

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I am FINALLY posting our portraits that we got done a month and half ago! :)
Brinn Willis was kind enough to do them for us, and we love them.

Fall. And Thanksgiving. I forgot Fall & Thanksgiving.

So, I'm posting this in June, after I posted Christmas, Winter & Spring....because I forgot Fall & Thanksgiving.  I'm lame.  Who forgets Thanksgiving?  I forgot Isabella's birthday and the rest of summer too... *sigh* I really shouldn't have gone this long without posting.

We grow kittens here in the Entsminger household.

Thanksgiving at Aunt DeeDee's house:

We taught Isabella how to use a hula hoop (or at-least we tried!) and then she took over with the camera:

Uncle Wayne took a few portraits of the family.  This was the last time I saw Aunt Francie.

Dad, Mom, Beau, Uncle Wayne, Aunt Francie, Uncle Danny, Aunt DeeDee, Brandon, Me & Isabella.

Dad, Mom, Beau, Isabella, Brandon & Me

After Thanksgiving, Isabella helped us put up the Christmas Tree!

Alright, now I've included Fall and Thanksgiving!

Summer 2009

So.
It is now June 2010 and I just spent an hour putting the photos from the summer of '09 on Shutterfly (plus other stuff), posting Fall/Thanksgiving '09, and Spring '10 and I really really really really don't feel like loading a bunch of photos from Summer '09.
2 reasons:
1. Blogger takes forever to load pictures. I am not a fan.
2. I'm tired of looking at these pictures....! :)

SO, if you're interested in looking at photos, you can visit our Shutterfly account for the following happenings in our lives:
Summertime '09
This includes random Summerness, my 24th Birthday, early garden photos, DC with Tiffany, etc.

Isabella's 3rd Birthday
This one is self explanatory.  We went down to NC for Izzy's birthday, and here are the pictures!

Posting a link to Shutterfly is so easy...I might do this more! :)

HARRY FREAKIN' POTTER!!!

So...I just found this post as a "draft" who knew!  So, I'm posting it because Harry Potter awesomeness deserves to be posted and viewed by the public.

After a very very very very long time of waiting...the day came!!! Woo Hoo!!!
Harry Potter and the Half-blood Prince!
Tuesday night at Midnight! Well, I think our ticket "technically" says 12:01 on Wednesday the 15th, whatever.

SO EXCITED!!!
pardon the fuzzy camera.

Now that THAT'S out of the way....:)  I can't believe I forgot it! And that it took me nearly a year to post it.
6 months until the next one, now!

First Anniversary!

Ladies and gentlemen, we have made it a whole year! I'm a little surprised we didn't kill each other in the process, but miracles happen. Brandon decided to surprise me with what we were doing and I didn't "officially" know our whole plan until we got there.

We started off at Tastee Freeze! Yum yum yum.

And as we were driving to our next destination, we stopped at a pull off spot in-between Augusta and Highland counties (both beautiful places, by-the-way).

Soooo pretty!
I'm going to miss the mountains whenever we move away.

Anyway, we did a little exploring at this point. Apparently it was the spot of Ford Johnson and the Confederate Breastworks making place...

I did a tiny bit of rule breaking...

After that we got back on the road and saw a few weird things...

what a strange place for a phone booth!

And a few beautiful things...

And we found this Bed & Breakfast in Hidden Valley!!! It's actually called Hidden Valley Bed & Breakfast near Hot Springs, VA in Bath County.

It was built in the 1860s

And they had their own functioning garden!

Beautiful views...

Chickens...

Lots of cats...

A natural spring and a curing house. It actually had meat hanging in it. We think it was ham.

And a big gate (not in operation) for carriages!

So so so so pretty. Loved it. Brandon and I want to own an Inn one day, so it was good inspiration for the future. Loved it!

Then we went to dinner at Sam Snead's Tavern

Brandon used to work here and it was great to see old friends and eat DELICIOUS food!!! The Homestead Resort never lets us down in regards to food. mmmm

So that was pretty much it! We had a great time!
