Day Number 91

 Today has been full of editing photos! I am having so much fun with this! Of course baby Kinslee has made it really easy to enjoy working on these pictures.

Day Number 90

I took some pictures for an old friend today! She has one of the most beautiful 6 month old baby girls ever! I had so much fun catching up with her and then taking pictures of baby Kinslee!

She was so happy and SO Photogenic! She was such a joy to work with!

Day Number 89

 A beautiful rainy sunday afternoon! Bella sat up on the window seat and watched it rain for a good hour! I was shocked! but she had herself a blanket and a pillow and Just sat there!

For the record I DO try and get pictures of the older kids. But they rarely comply. I will have to try bribing them soon!

Day Number 65

Yesterday My mom took my to toni and guys to get my hair done! Once I get a halfway decent picture I will post it. I was gone the entire day yesterday and didn't really have an opportunity to take any pictures. Moving on.
  Today Bella and I spent the morning and early afternoon at my friend Sara's house. We always have a great time over there. Its nice for Bella to play with her boys who are her age and for me to have adult conversation with my friend.
 Bella decided to chase Chloe (Sara's  almost 1 year old daughter) around and periodically lay on top of her.  It was cute yet annoying all at the same time!But I did get pictures!!!

They were tormenting the dog together!

Chloe, she's so adorable!

 Then Bella and I made a rushed trip home where I got the stroller out and put the Sleeping Bella into the stroller. We then took off to the school to pick up the big kids! We arrived just in time to see:

Chuckie!!!!!

I wasn't the only one to notice either. The kids FLOCKED to him!

Then they were told to back off. Doesn't Chuckie look relieved?!

It was amusing to watch! Thanks for stopping in!

Day Number 56

I took many pictures today but due to a certain little 2 year old who is currently sitting in my lap 2 hours after bed time I havn't even been able to look at them! I DID Manage to find one i was looking for and edit it with my little klingon child.
 Amanda had Chess Club today. I TOTALLY forgot about it until we had walked to the school and got Gabriel. So we sat outside for an hour and waited for her. I took my camera along for entertainment's sake.
Bella was showing me her Bellybutton!

I love the look on her face!
A friend of ours bought Bella that outfit for her birthday! Isn't it adorable?

Day Number 54

 Today was Bella's birthday party! But I'm not going to post party pictures until tomorrow. BUT I did snag this one right before she blew out her candles! I am in love with the picture!

Also! Talk about an amazing moon!!!

Such an amazing view! Hope you have a great weekend!!!

Oops...

  I'm stressing out so much about Isabella's birthday party that I completely forgot to take a picture for today. I will try and make up for it tomorrow. Every birthday I do this. I put everything off until the last minute, then I stress out about it until the party is over. Something about having to make sure everything is perfect.
  Surprisingly enough Amanda has been asking me to take her picture this week. So I am giddy because I have a concept in my mind that I would LOVE to put into photograph.

Day Number 49

I FINALLY got around to doing Bella's 2 year photos today! I am REALY Excited about them! I ended up shooting at my mom's house because we were having a family feast and when we got there the lighting was PERFECT!  I love my mom's house because it has a very country feel but is still in city limits. Imagine how much more convenient it would be if her house were in Grand Prairie instead of Lancaster!
So here's a little peek at what I got!

Yup! That's my soon to be 2 year old! One week from tomorrow! I cannot believe it! Regardless she is my gorgeous little redhead!

She will hate me for this I am sure! But she should know better than to be goofy when I have a camera in hand! I love this girl. She is absolutely one of my favorite 15 year olds in the WHOLE world!

Now it's off to bed for me. Gotta make sure I can get up on time with this whole moving an hour ahead time thing!!



Day Number 46

Bella and I met Jon for lunch. I love it so much when he is working close enough that we can meet up and eat together. It always makes the day pass faster.
  Bell was so excited to see daddy all by herself, with out the interuption of the older kids. She was talkative, giggley and very expressive. She even ate most of her meal. Her siblings make it difficult when we go out with them. Bella gets distracted so easily. We had fun but she was definitly ready for her nap when we got home!

I know that I enjoyed Both of my older children at this age. It was difficult though I felt so overwhelmed. Amanda was abou tthe same age that Bella is now when Gabriel was born so I feel like I missed out on so much of their developement because I was so busy. It's been easier with Bella as she is home with me alone most of the day. The older kids get out of school at 3:20pm so I get to enjoy her and her "Bellaness" so much more because I am not so stressed. However, all three of them bring so much joy into my life I can't imagine any part of it with out them!

Day Number 45

 Finally I am all caught up from the weekend! I worked on a couple of hairbow/head piece concepts in my mind. I think they came out pretty good!
It did not at all surprise me when Amanda asked to Model it for me. She's my camera ham!


It's not often that I like big giant bow like hair ornaments. But I have plans for this one. We'll see how the end result turns out!



This one is intended to go with the tutu that I made for Bella's 2 year Photos!



Day Number 44

After church I made my way along with Bella to find Jon. He leads praise and worchip for our children's ministry. So I knew just where to find him. I dropped Bella off and went to make sure I had cleaned up the nursery, came back to find that Jon had handed our almost2 year old a pair of drumsticks. I found her as shown:

Yep, Thats Jon cleaning up cords in the background.

Thanks for visiting!

Day Number 35

 I seem to be in a funk. No starting sentance that I have written has sounded very good in my mind.  It probably doesn't help that my mind has been running full speed ahead for about 5 days now. I think i could use a good 5 month sleep. Consider it an extended hibernation.
 Thankfully I am blessed with children who's radient smiles brighten my world that much more. They make me stop and appreciate my life that much more! Can you blame me?

I am very thankful for all three of my good lookin kiddos. Messy face and all!

Day Number 34

Please forgive me as I use yet another of Baby Sarah's photos for my daily photo. I am having such a hard time focusing beyond her mommy right now. There has still been no progress. She's not getting better and is still in a coma.
 I *Did* take a few photos today but I have not had a chance to upload them yet.

 

Day Number 33

 I took my camera with me to the hospital when we went to visit my friend. No I had no intention of taking pictures of her but you never know when something comes up. It gave me the opportunity to catch one of my daughter's mood changes. When she is tired it can switch within seconds. Example:

This was after she painted her window with tears and snot. I was uhhh, letting her express her artistic personality... umm yeah lets go with that.
Notice the tears, no tears then the "look at how cute I am" expressions. Yup. Thats my girl!

Day Number 30

Today was a really hard day emotionally and physically. I am kinda glad it is coming to an end. I am still sorting and editing my phtos from Wednesday. And Due to the events of today it only seems fitting in my mind to post a photo from that shoot.

The mama of this beautiful girl is in ICU currently. She had a brain aneurism last night and is not doing very well. She is a good friend of mine and my heart and prayers are with her and her family.

Day Number 27/ Day Number 28

I would like to get OUT of this apparent habit that is forming of posting every other day. It seems something comes up, it gets too late or I forget entirely to post.
My photo for Day number 27:

I bought a new toy! Yes I FINALLY replaced my broken lens!

Day Number 28:
I had a Photoshoot with Baby Sarah and she is precious!!!

I can't wait to sort through more Pictures!!!

Thanks for visiting!

Day Number 24

 We went and ran errands today. It was nice to be out of the house as a family! After we got home was pretty eventful. Bella went potty in her big girl potty. I can't believe my baby is going to be 2 next month and has begun the process of potty training. I am taking it much slower with her since she is so young. But she seems to be as excited about it as I am!
  After her bath tonight she managed to find a corded Xbox controller and "Joined" her brother and sister in a game of "Mech Assault"  It was really cute so I took a few pictures. My kids definitly over animate when they are playing their video games!!!

Thanks for visiting!

  

Day Number 23

 Bella and I went to a play date today. Afterward she was so wiped out what she fell asleep on the way home. So instead of going home and waking her up, we went home I snagged my yarn, crochet hook and a sweet snack. Then went to the school to wait in the car for an hour or so until the kids got out of class.
 The "Mother's" brand of iced animal crackers have been some of my favorite cookies since I was a child! So while I was killing time I was playing with my cookies. Yes my mother did teach me not to play with my food but I find that it encourages creativity. So I took a picture of my Animal crackers!

 
Then I ate them. It was a happy yet sad moment.

Day Number 21

Ok I managed to get some better pictures of the car now that it's daylight!

Yeah so I think I am in love with my car!
Love love love!!!!
