summer...
well, i really do not know at this time, the destiny of my blog. i am obviously super busy, and do not have 2 seconds to fool with up dating it. and, now that i am working as much as i am, when i do have a few minutes, i spend them with my family. raising 4 kids, building a home, starting a business and all else that comes along has taken my time, so i am sorry i do not post as often as i should! i will see how things go once school starts, but seeing that i am the president of the PTO now, not sure that will give me a break either! we will see, until then, i am just going to continue to enjoy my summer. if you are a client, all photo info will be posted on my photography blog along with all my current session sneak peaks!

life as i know it...
it has been a crazy few weeks! the day after the regular season ended, we started all star practice. and it has been baseball every night ever since! can you imagine how big my heart was smiling here! both my boys on base!
we have a love hate relationship with these guys! haha
darn flies on our snow cones!
our coaches have done a great job! i really don't think they even expected to go as far as they have!
we have battled some great teams, some confused umps, the heat, and even pesky flies! but it has all been worth it! the boys are all doing great and making our town proud! both the twins, and baylen's teams are fighting for championship, i will keep you posted on how we do! as of now, no matter the outcome, we have gone farther than expected, so to me we are already winners! good luck boys!

family... there's nothing like it
i come from a family full of beautiful people... look at my grandmother...
when baylen was a little boy, we were on our way to visit my grandmother, and i told him he has a grandma, this was MY grandma, so what is she to him... and he gazed out the window in deep thought and simply said...lemonade. so there you have it! this is our grandma lemonade...
some of my most favorite memories from my childhood are with grandma, she is such a fun lady! and full of energy! and her oldest daughter, my mom's older sister, aunt b... well, talk about memories together! all i can say is she can make me laugh like no one else! i love my aunt b!!!
i was taking pics of my family and my mom got my camera and took a few of me and my family!
i am 5 years younger than my youngest aunt, and 9 years older than my sister, so although i don't have any nieces or nephews yet, i do have cousins that are almost my kids ages!
talk about heart breaking, it has been a while since i have been to visit, and broady has gone from little boy to man over night!
paysli had to have a turn, i really can not believe how fast my baby is growing up either!
family... one day i hope to sit around and tell my great grand kids stories of my babies growing up! so fun...

busy weekend... i am still hungry!
okay, i have learned the hard way... pack a lunch!!!
this was a super busy weekend, first friday was our first official day of summer, and boy did we live it up! got a little sun burnt, but had a BLAST! then on saturday, had a wedding...
it was an amazing wedding, and talk about beautiful people! everywhere i looked, pure beauty... i can say i am thrilled to have 2 more brides out of this group! yeah yeah! but... a mistake i won't make at their weddings...FOOD!
we have a little break in time, so we went to the first station we could sneak in line to and grabbed a little plate... but, the place was packed, so we snuck off to the bathroom and scarfed or apple o's!!!
those of you that know me, you know i make it very clear... I DO NOT USE PUBLIC BATHROOMS!!! so to eat in one, you know i had to be desperate!
i honestly do not think i even tasted the food, it was a matter of just getting it down!
we stopped to take a few pics of ourselves, so our husbands could see it really "is" work!
oh wait... a little left over chocolate...
this was one fun wedding!
and then today, i got to take preggo pictures for this sweet sweet family! and... my favorite, little carson let me dress him up for a few rock star pictures!!
this was a busy weekend, but i really had a great time with my camera! to see more, visit my photo blog!

fun, family night???
a carnival came to town and those of you that know me, know i don't do carnivals! i stress that my kids will get abducted, or a ride will break while my child is on it, or that someone will get a rare condition from doing too many back flip while strapped into a spinning cage and their life will never be the same... but... i sucked it up and we went for "fun family time"
paysli was enjoying the rides, i really thought she'd be more cautious, but no this girl threw caution to the wind and rode like it was no bodies business... who's kid is this?
then the boys talked me into trying out the slide... okay, i can do a slide! maybe... wow, there are a lot of stairs to get to the top of this slide! once we got up, paysli decided she did not want to go...too late!
shannon and laci decided to do this thing called a "zipper" locks you into a cage, while standing, and flips you forward and back while spinning...um, no thanks! not for me!
then laci won an iguana! paylsi could not get over how ugly this creature was! ewww
then... i LOST my mind!!! i got talked into riding this thing... thought they were my friends but soon found out i have enemies among me!
laci took my camera and took pictures to document my first ever carnival ride.... and LAST ever carnival ride!!!
heath and the boys were already on and did not know i got on the ride, once the word spread to them, they did not believe that i got on this thing! this is how baylen felt by the end of the evening, and i was not far behind! it was worth proving to my boys that i was one cool mom that held in the vomit and did not embarrass them! it was so funny paysli was on the ground trying to watch and could never focus on us! i think she felt just as bad, and her feet never left the ground!!
we had a great time, and no matter how badly i had to overcome my fears of a carnival, it was memories made, and that is what it is all about!!!
