3 months later....

....I will blog. I finally made time to sit at my computer and do something other than FB, Pintrest, and bank. I logged on and realized its been almost 3 months since I have updated. SHEESH!..

As I am dusting the cob webs off the blog, it made me realize that life is fast. No matter how slow we may be, its fast!
The school year ended great! Everyone is well on their way to the next grade. Which another reminder as I type I need to start school supply shopping. I like doing it early and by myself. No extras get thrown in and I can beat the last minute crowd.
My sister is pregnant with her first child! I am super happy and ready to meet the newest addition to the family. She wants a girl. I think its a boy. But we find out on the 26th at their gender reveal party.
My husband has hardly been home this summer. He is working a lot and we have had to post pone vacation once, but we will be heading out for a 6 day vacay on the 28! And I cant wait. I just want to be out of the house on something other than a grocery trip!
My 4 year old has a blue Mohawk! That he patiently waited all school year for! People love and so does he.
We spend a lot of time at the pool. Not as much as the kids would like. But enough time. Its been hot and in the triple digits one week and in the cool upper 70s and lower 80s one week. Weird weather!
We had a great 4th of July and I hardly took any pics of that.
I am getting more brave with my camera and I actually took the kids out around town and we did some pics and had great props and daddy will love that I didn't spend 220.00 on photos that I can clearly do myself ( now that I have the right editing tools :) He will have a great birthday celebration when he gets home in 10 days! his bday was yesterday, but he was working.
I am at a halt on planning the gender reveal party for my sis and her husband. Invites are out. Décor will be bought next week and then all I will need to do is food and party and get ready to shop for babay!!!
I am going to get off here and start on the kids picture project for daddy. I have never applied pics to metal and I need to get busy so I have enough time in case I have a hiccup in the project!
HAPPY SUNDAY!!

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...
