Beltline Softball

Both David and I are playing on the softball team for church. The girls play on Monday nights, and the boys play on Tuesday nights. We have had a great time so far this year playing. The girls have already started their tournament and the guys will start this week. I will have to post pictures of the girls team later, but here are some shots of our guys playing a little ball!

4th of July at the Sugar Creek

This year, we had our first family event out at the river. My fabulous brother-in-law put the finishing touches on the dock so we could have the party out there. We cooked out and swam until we were all wrinkled like prunes. It was a fabulous day, minus the heat, and the thunderstorms. We had to duck inside for a few minutes, but overall, we had great weather. We had the canoe and jet ski out there for everyone to enjoy and they both got used all day. Here are some shots of the day!

Here is Cole and Uncle Dave heading out for a ride....

No need to unload the grill...we will just cook it redneck style in the back of the truck.












Happy 4th of July! A special thanks to all our wonderful men and women in the service that allow us our freedom and a special day to celebrate!!

The Higginbotham's Take Rome

In June we had the opportunity to go to Rome and photograph a wedding at the Vatican. David will have more on his blog about the actual wedding once the picture can be released and I will put some of those on here as well. Traveling that far with all the photo gear made for an interesting trip. Imagine the clown cars you see at the circus, because that is what we looked like getting out of our vehicle with all of our gear. We had an amazing time, the wedding was perfect and then we stayed a few extra days to see the sights. I am so glad that David and I are alike when it comes to traveling. We both love to travel and see new places, however, about 3-4 days away from home is about our limit. I guess we are little homebodies. :) If you ever get the opportunity to go to Rome, I say take it. It is truly beautiful and there is so much history there that you will be amazed. Here are some of our snap shots...the fabulous pictures will come later. :)

This was the view out of our room. It was beautiful and we ate breakfast in that courtyard each day...more to come on the breakfast later...


The Spanish Steps...right outside our hotel.


David laughs at me for photographing my food...but I like to remember what I ate!




Treve Fountain
















The breakfast at our hotel was amazing...I still think about it often. :)
