Whos ready for school to start?!

 I AM!!!!! this is school supplies only. We haven't ventured off to do the O so fun school clothes shopping.
 Our little man will be in a head start program this year. He was a planned child and i didn't even think of school and how his birthday falling so late in the year would have effected him :) It saddens me that he will wear this backpack and take his lunch and wear a size bigger shoe. And he will be away from me for 7 hours 3 days a week. But i will manage. I hope i don't find myself circling the block of his school on the days i am really tired of the quiet. Those words just fell out of my mouth. Tired of quiet? It must have been a noisy day around here.

 Our sweet little Jessie will enter the new world of 2nd grade. There are way more supplies in that bag. I used my bed to hold all this while taking photos, and well my bed isn't *that* big. She is all about Smurfs and bright colors and being a little girly girl. I worry about her alot. Her school is just down the road from us, so i guess if i don't want to eat lunch alone i can walk down and eat with her. Walk? Again words keep falling out of my mouth. I would drive to her school after hitting up the Sonic of course.

And then we have the 17 year old entering 6th grade. I mean 11 year old. I have to constantly remind myself she isn't even a teenager yet. Although she feels compelled to feel this house with the nonsense a 17year old would. She will go to the big middle school and be the small fish in a big pond. No matter how much i try to talk to her about how middle school can really be and how there will be so many more kids, more classes, more teachers and the ever so dreaded PE class where you have to change in the locker room and its just all embarrassing. (Well it was for me in middle school.) I try to keep it positive, but we all know that middle school is just the worst part of a humans life. And when i am circling Jaxons school in the attempt to have some noise in my day, or driving to see Jessie so i am not eating lunch all by myself, I will be thinking of Jill and her middle school day. I wont even attempt to step foot in there. If one 6th grader makes me want to drink a strong bloody mary by noon, then why would i step into a school with thousands of them? By noon? Who am i kidding? She makes me want a shot of tequila by 10am! Those dang words keep falling out of my mouth. So, while we still have one more week until school starts and we have the task of school clothes shopping this upcoming weekend.....i better chill that tequila!

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...
