disney 2012 (part 7,963…)
A little more of the Disney trip still to go, sorry if you’re totally sick of it already.
We’re gearing up for Eastover here at the Beyrer’s. (Eastover= Easter + Passover, since we celebrate both.) Off to dye eggs with the boys and then get ready for the traditional Matzah & tuna fish sandwiches while watching The Ten Commandments on TV tomorrow night. Then my inlaws for Eastover dinner on Sunday.
But back to Disney in the meantime. This is the day we met up with my parents at Magic Kingdom. And this is my most favorite seat in all of the Magic Kingdom.
So as we were waiting on line for Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, I was busy trying to convince my mom to ride Splash Mountain. She was adamant about NOT riding so she offered a challenge. Post it on Facebook and find 25 friends to say she should go on in 15 minutes and she would She figured that there was no way I’d ever get that many people in 15 min, but it was more like 40+ people in 10 min who said to go. So she was pretty much screwed. (What my mother failed to realize is that I have a LOT of Facebook friends and everyone has FB on their phones, and they knew good pictures would come of this adventure!) Off to Splash Mountain we went!
And here’s the resulting photo. Which of COURSE we paid top dollar for.
Cheers to the fact that we got Grandma on!
The next day at breakfast at Ohana. We always book this breakfast and ALWAYS cancel last minute. But we finally made it this year.
And I got to meet up with Camie (my college roommate who lives about 10 minutes from Disney)!
More from MK coming soon.

disney 2012
Still haven’t finished posting these pictures so since I’m caught up on blogging all my clients photos, we’re headed back to Disney. Well, on the blog anyway.
Animal Kingdom (I loathe that park. It’s been 10 years since we were last at AK and it’ll be 10 years until we go back there again.) and some fun by the main pool at Old Key West Resort where we stayed.
We did get to see lots of animals on the safari though, that part was good.
Watching the rhino take a mud bath was cute. 
Big boys at the top of the waterslide/sandcastle.
More Disney still to come. -
rvc st. patrick’s parade
Yeah, better late than never. I’ve had a lot of other stuff to blog and this got pushed back a little. Hope you enjoy the photos regardless!
My father in law.
Watching the parade with my parents from our “box seats” at their apartment. Timmy was inside pretty much the whole time. The computer is a much bigger draw than the parade apparently.
Some cool cars.
Sister in law Feather and brother in law Joe. 
Yearly parade friends!
Some of Timmy’s friends and their mom’s (my friends!)
John oh so happy to be marching. He couldn’t ride in the truck this year with his newspaper. 
Some friends.
Ok, you know I really have Walking Dead withdrawls cause all I could think of when seeing this horse is the cover photo with Rick riding a horse into downtown Atlanta. 
The boys friend Robert who is so good, that he turned around halfway down the block to wave a pose for a picture. I knew I liked that kid!!!
More friends.
Joseph, who is one of my favorite bsquared subjects ever and gets to hang out with the Jets Flight Crew every parade. Lucky him.
Great job on the parade Ladies!!!! I never got a picture of Suzanne. Boo.
I love that they are leading the biker gang!!
Parade remnants. My mom told me to take this one.

if i had a million (or $540 million) dollars…
I’d be rich. Ok, having nothing to do with anything I started thinking about what I would do if I won the MegaMillions which is $540 million right now. First, figure it would only be about $290 million after taxes. Yeah, only. You/I could still do some serious damage with that! Being the crazy Type A personality I am, I decided to break it down into categories. I’d love to hear what YOU would do if you won. Just for kicks.
Business first:
-pay off all debt (student loans, cars, mortgages, etc) for my immediate family. Do the same for my parents, inlaws, brothers and sisters in law, and close friends. Give them all some play money too.
-put away enough to keep us living comfortably for the rest of our lives, and enough for the boys to do the same.
-donate as much as I could to Veterans. Set up my own program for US Vets so I know where the $ is going- right to them. Put someone I seriously trust in charge and make sure all Veterans & their families have health care, a home, a job, bills they can pay.
-donate/fund to find a cure for cancer. Like, yesterday.
For fun:
-take some time off from bsquared, but not much. Do all my shoots for free!
-travel. Everywhere! Pull the boys out of school, hire the most amazing private tutors available on the earth, travel in style (private planes, private boats, amazing cars) to everywhere. Especially Japan, Italy, Ireland, Hawaii and some tiny little tropical islands no one has ever heard of. Stay in the best hotels/homes/castles. And take pictures of all of it. And bring friends and family to enjoy it all with me.
-buy some vacation homes after traveling everywhere.
-build a new house. But stay in our town. I wouldn’t want to leave my friends and family!
-get a studio. And someone to do all my editing for me.
-plan out the most amazing, styled, glamourous shoots imaginable all over the world. And make them happen.
-buy every camera body/lens/gadget that I want.
-hire a full time chef, personal trainer, and a wife/personal assistant. Never cook again (unless for some godforsaken reason I decide I have to), work out every day, never go to the stupidmarket ever.
-buy a house somewhere undisclosed that is all ready for the end of the world. Own power supply, own water source, own food sources.
And just cause I have enough money to do whatever I would want to:
-buy John & the boys the Mets franchise. I hate baseball, but they love it. And from what they say, the Mets need new owners. Give them lots more money to run it well.
-rent out the Magic Kingdom for an entire day and night for all my family and friends. Fly everyone down, put them all up in the Grand Floridian or Bay Lake Tower. Stay in Cinderella Castle again. Ride all the rides until I puke. And get a picture with all the Disney characters at once.
-hire every photographer I’ve ever liked and have them do a photoshoot of my family & friends. One per month or something.
-have a ginormously huge crazy party with everyone (blog stalkers, friends, family, photografriends) with huge pictures I have taken decorating the venue, at someplace amazing with all 80’s music and hire some of my favorite 80’s bands to come and play. Like for 3 days nonstop!!
-buy my way onto the Walking Dead set and let them zombify me. Meet all the cast and take pictures while there.
-make them put LOST back on the air.
-buy a meeting with Edward Norton. And get him to let me take pictures of him.
-walk into random restaurants and buy everyone’s meals on a random/regular basis. Do the same thing in a hospital and take care of peoples medical bills.
-somehow get all the new Stephen King books before they come out so I can read them first.
-buy all my friends and family one really big ticket just for fun item.
Leave your comments below as to what you would do if you won. Can’t wait to hear!

rachel’s sweet 16 brunch
On a busy day of shooting, I ran by Rachel’s sweet 16 brunch at the firehouse for a few minutes to wish the birthday girl a happy one. Caught a few pictures before I had to run out to get to my day of sessions.
The very pretty birthday girl.
With her boyfriend.
Uncle Joe (aka Malibu Barbie Joe) and the boys. I don’t know why Patrick looks scared. 
Rachel and her nana.
Some of her friends. 
And the very cool beachy cake. 
Rachel’s present is a full on photoshoot, so look for pictures from that. Someday soonish.
