Five Things for Friday
1. On Memorial Day Shawn and I went to the drugstore for sunscreen before a day of laying by the pool. We left with sunscreen, pool floaties, and these sa-weet new hats! They we’re on sale for $10. As a joke I tried one on and actually liked it, so I bought it! I made Shawn get one too, so we could both be dorks. Hello summer!
2. This is my absolute, favorite breakfast of all time. Eggs over-easy, bacon, wheat toast, and avocado. I make it most weekends, and if we go out to breakfast I order it the same way but might add in potatoes. It’s just…perfect.
3. See that gigantic scratch on that lens? Ahhh! Can’t believe I did that! I was taking pictures of these s’mores, and went to grab something with the camera slung on my shoulder and the lens glass hit the corner of the granite. I didn’t even notice I did it. Shawn did…along with some sticky marshmallow stuck to the side of the camera so it was obvious it was me. You guys, I panicked. PANICKED! The lens I use is kind of crazy expensive since we use it for our videography business too. I almost fainted, until Shawn said, “Good thing I have a lens protector on this thing.” And he casually unscrewed this glass cap protector. Thank GOD! Lifesaver. Already ordered a new one to replace the scratched one.
If you’re a photographer and want to get one to protect your glass, we buy this one (affiliate link, thanks for the love). To know which mm number you need, look for that number the red arrow is pointing to on your lens. Ours is 82mm. It’s so worth it! If that gets scratched, it’s WAY cheaper and easier to replace than your whole lens. Learn from my mistake friends!
4. Feel like a laugh? Shawn is almost 27 (in 1 month) and he still get’s carded all. the. time. Not just for alcohol. He’s gotten carded for R rated movies…recently. And you only need to be 17 for those! It makes him so mad, and of course makes me laugh way too much. Here’s a little video I shot after he got carded last Friday for buying a 6 pack of beer:
5. Wanna see more funny videos? My dog Lou is YouTube famous! He does this funny thing where if you put him over the water, he starts paddling even though he’s not in the water yet. I shot this funny video of my sister giving him a bath way back in 2008, and it currently has 125,000+ views:
I thought that was kind of impressive, but wait until you hear this! My sister and I were playing around on YouTube, and I just searched “Funny Dog” and this video that currently has over 23,000,000 views was the top hit. Recognize the 2nd dog in the compilation?
Isn’t that too funny?! Can’t believe over 23 million people have seen Lou’s funny water behavior. Who knew Lou was so famous? But let’s not tell him, or he’ll become an even bigger bed hog.

So now I need to go out and buy a lens protector! Yikes!
I also struggle with the baby-face syndrome… I just turned 24 and I was in the mall recently and the security guard asked for my ID because you can’t be in the mall without a parent after 6PM if you’re under SIXTEEN. It’s good to know I’m not the only one!
Love those hats. I know how you feel about that lens but it’s a good thing he had the cover on it. Mine all have that protector on them – whew!
Oh my gosh your pup is so cute!!! And that compilation video is HILARIOUS. My dog LOVES outdoor baths with the hose, but try to get him near the tub and he squeals like a baby. Luckily it’s warm enough for outdoor baths 98% of the year here!
Your dog video is too cute!! I’ve always wanted to make my cat a youtube celebrity, but I never seem to catch his cute behavior on camera. I think I need to get a lens cap asap! Thank goodness you guys had one on there, that must have been so scary!
I literally cringed when I saw that ginormous scratch on your lens. Hooray for lens protectors! I gotta get myself one of those! And Lou? AHHH!! I can’t handle the cuteness! That’s so amazing that he’s practically famous now. :)
Your husband does have a baby face…
Thank goodness for lense protectors!
Oh I love the hats. I have an obnoxiously huge sun hat that my husband hates. He says I look ridiculous but I adore it. It is kind of ceremonial thing to drag it out of the closet every year. It means summer has officially begun! :)
Hahaha, those videos are too funny! I love it! Sorry about your camera lens, that is the worst! I hope you had a great weekend, Natalie!
