Pics Galore....

Lookie what recently came to our house...

Our Olan Mills photos... LOL! We got the 8x10 Family for free b/c it's complimentary with the directory.... And I did order a couple 5x7s and some wallets of the boys. I know, I know... Their expression were cute, EVEN THOUGH the guys chopped limbs like he was a WWII field doctor, LOL!

The guy was a NUT though.... promising our kids ICE CREAM for a smile.... at 4 pm!!! And he kept saying that "Getting both sets of {the boys} eyes were the important thing..." LOL~ you should have seen the ones I nixed b/c their expressions were stunned.... EVEN THOUGH he "got the eyes."

I would also like to point out that I paid a few extra dollars to have the family one "Retouched" and all I could see was under my Nate's and under my eyes.... they totally left the red scab on my knuckle.... LOL!

Here are some Easter pics for your enjoyment.....

Seth had an egg hunt in Nana's yard.

That is me in the white coat in the background.



The Easter Bunny was generous this year and brought Seth a big boy bike. (The Easter Bunny didn't want to wait till his birthday in late September, and then him miss out on all the riding b/c of impending cold weather.... ;)

He hopped on like he was Born To Ride and has been riding ever since.

The Easter Bunny left Lucas the Curious George movie... I love that glow-y animation! Nana got them both some crocs, and they made out like bandits.

One of Those Weeks....

I'm having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week.

(Remember that book?)

My Portrait Party did not go as planned (read: light failure)

My confidence is in pieces for the big shoot this Friday

The boys are sick and cranky

I am sick and cranky

I can't find my specific make-up (apparently Max Factor isn't sold in this area???)

I'm taking stuff personally I really shouldn't (read: oversensitive)

mmmm....

Just *what * could they be waiting for.......?

Why, this of course!

This is just regular brownie mix, once baked we threw on some marshmellows, caramel, and m&m's..... now we are just waiting for it to cool so we can inhale our goods....

Great news here... we are in the middle of night training Seth. Big guy is doing remarkably well! We make sure he goes one last time right before we hit the sheets (around 11 pm) and he's stayed dry 4 out of the last 5 nights. Of course, he has been promised an Optimus Prime once he stayed dry 5 nights in a row. 3 more to go for him to get his treat!

February Wedding....

Holy! Was it cold that day!

This couple got married outside by a waterfall. All the girls were wearing duck boots and hiking shoes and long johns under their dresses, LOL! And I have pics of them desperately holding on to the rail to get from the car area to the wedding site area, b/c the pathway was completely iced over.

It was a small intimate wedding... no more than 40 people all together. They had their reception in a house-converted-into-a-restaurant, and it was GORGEOUS in there.....

Thanks for peeking!
