aside from that, this is by far not my proudest moment,,,, i took this quiz and i got 16 out of 20. normally that might sound like a bad score or at least average, but if you check it out you will see why i would have to admit, im not proud at all!!!! i wish i would have gotten some answers wrong on purpose!!! so why am i writing about it you ask??? good question, i have no idea...........

~xoxo, ally~

so every time i drive up to temec, i drive pass this hill ~ which lands to my left as i approach the "grade" to exit the country that i call home. i cant ever remember this hill blooming with such inspiration as it has been the last few days. i love, love, love these beautiful flowers!! can we really call them weeds?? i prefer "wild flowers". anyway, i had to ditch my daily trip into temec today, kinda blowing off my work out, but i really cant say that i regret it. okay, so yes ~ you might live five minutes from the grocery store, and maybe it takes me a minimum of thirty to thirty five minutes to my local grocery store. but ~ hey ~ look what i do live five and a half minutes from. this amazing photo shoot location that was waiting for my flower babies to grace it with their presence. i am in total heaven as i look at these shots from just about a hour ago today. i took well over three hundred photos, and i have to admit, most of them are amazing ~ if i do say so myself. anyway, i couldnt pick just three or four to post, i had to pick lots!!! hey ~ go big or go home ~ right?? man, i cant wait for the prefect paper to scrap these babies. enjoy......daniel gave me this one....
throwing the flowers in the air...
i love this one!!
country living for ya!!

of course these are the "raw" and unedited versions, although i have to admit, im not too sure what i would do to edit them. i think they are perfect just the way they are...

~xoxo~

hi!! its been a few days uh?.?.?.?. i have been going crazy trying to organize my photos over the weekend, therefore ~ no updating my blog!! anyway, im still working on that little project, but i took a little break to show my blog some love. remember i mentioned that i busted out my old elf camera?? well in that memory card was one my favorite pictures of all time of daniel!! we were in ensenada and he was eleven months and he just struck this pose. so, so cute to me!!!

okay, and so i totally didnt do this on purpose, but oddly enough these are also pictures from a trip down to ensenada ~ only last year. i went with my hubby, brother in law and two buddies and followed them and took their photos while they were golfing. the funny part is that i have heard rumors that my brother in law is a big goof ball while golfing, well i got to witness it first hand... follow the pictures all the way down......
jaime being camilo villegas ~ the famous "spider guy" golfer...
so anyway ~ back to scrapbooking. i took a few of these pictures and put them together in a little mini album using the new fifth avenue paper from making memories. fun, i like the way it turned out. enjoy.....
like my fuzzy photos?? i love all of the words and expressions. passion is so important to me!! i also love the little half pages i threw in there just for fun. also put in a few hand made embellishments. good stuff!! alright, back to organizing...
