The Joys Of Motherhood 1


Quiet Time! Don't get me wrong I love when I can be home and play, giggle, coo and even hear him fuss, cause that is all part of it too. And although I never really believed the people that would tell me that "it's different when it's your kid" (as far as hearing other kids cry and throwing fits) When I was much younger, way before the thought of having kids entered my mind, I couldn't stand hearing other kids fuss and throw tantrums....."My kids will NOT do that!" ummm NEWSFLASH JESSICA....Yes they will!!! And there will someone somewhere looking at my kids thinking the same thing I once did.


Kids fuss. Kids throw fits. I cant wait for Jaxon to throw a fit in Wal-mart cause I have said no for the 100th time on the same question he has ask 100 times....I will look around blankly and say "who's kid is this?!" But for now I will soak it up...the quiet moments. For the time before his naps are shorter and few between. I use afternoons like this for my time. Whether I catch up on sleep, paint my toenails, catch up on 2weeks of Greys, shave my legs or sit and stare at him...I soak it all in. He won't be this small (or quiet) forever. And I'm the weird parent that can't wait until he starts talking. I'm curious about how he will see the world.

Back to reality....

Our trip to Austin was a blast! I have decided that if we are ever able to return there, that I need to be in alot better shape!!! I was soooo tired and sore...from walking mind you!! I would lose 10lbs from all the walking and sweating and then gain 15 every time I ate!! There was never a dull moment on this little vacation of ours...we made the most of everyday. We were glad to return home to our chunky monkey though!! And glad to announce that he has stopped sucking his thumb since he has left aunt Jennifer's!! I wish could have taken a picture of how tired she looked when we got home, because I knew this would kick her tail!! But her watching them all for us (Jaxon plus the cat and dog) was greatly appreciated and I hope nothing scared her away!! Pictures and great stories behind them coming soon....probably this Sunday because we get the computer Saturday but we are going to the local Harley Davidson Party and I won't really want to mess with the computer after picking it...

a million and one....

i have always had an interest in photography. i have always wanted to carry a camera with me every where i go. And most of the time i think i will just remember what my eyes see. Forever. And i don't always remember. I want to capture things, in case one day, my son wants to see the world the way i saw the world. the way i saw him growing up. that is really all i have done is capture him over the years. but i have always wanted to turn that hobby into a part time job. a job that allows me to help families capture what they cant. moms aren't always in the pictures. so i want to make it my job and have moms in the pictures with their families.  I started my business in October of 2014 and since then I have captured a wedding, beautiful children, families, an engagement session and of course the countless pictures of my kids. we took Jill's 8th grade pics to a whole new level this year. and i cant wait to capture her high school years. i have 2 more weddings, an engagement...

Im going to take a break!

This potty training business is for the birds! "He will go when he is ready" is all people keep telling me. My response ..."He does go when hes ready...in his diaper!!" Maybe if we just take a break and not rush it, it will all fall together. Like him sleeping without being bundled, going to nap or bed without a bottle, feeding himself his food with his own silverware. All the other milestones in between that he did when ..."he was ready" Going to the potty is a big deal for kids. This little adventure has been stressful on him. Not just me and Josh. I mean...hes constantly having to take off his pants and diaper, either sit on the little potty or put his seat on the big potty, sit down and get comfortable, make sure everything is aiming where it needs to be.....for nothing! He laughs the whole time he is on there. Except if the seat is really cold. That doesn't make him laugh at all. So for now we are on a break from going to the bathroom all at on...
