He’s growing up.

Baby Joey, Pictures, Solids
My Baby is growing up! Joey hit a new milestone. He's eating solids! Well, just banana baby food, and occasionally rice cereal, but something other than my milk is something fun and new! I'll let the pictures tell what he thought... Kevin found a fun little high chair. I was going to go with a booster seat type high chair becuase I could strap it to a chair and then be done with it when it's time, but Kevin found a folding one for like $35, so yeah! He gets his own special seat, and I can fold it up and tuck it in the closet when he's not eating. Michael and I have started some new banter. We keep going back and fourth about who loves Joey more. It's…

Michael’s Facebook

Michael
Michael is busy making his own facebook.  It's just that.  A construction paper book of different faces he fancies to draw or make in other creative ways (one is a silhouette he cut out).  I just love my kid!

Fathers Day

Family Fun, Humor, Kevin, Memories
We're having a laid back day here, Kevin and I both didn't sleep well, I had insomnia and he got a migraine. Not fun. He made a special spice rub lastnight, and we're having country style ribs tonight, so that should be yummy. :) The boys gave him gummy bears, his favorite soda, and a card that has a man resting in the clouds, and says "Don't let anything stand between you and a relaxing Fathers Day..." on the front, then says "Except reality.  Enjoy" with the same man bouncing out of his recliner (it even has a spring behind that part) and a kid jumping on the couch, a kid screaming or tantruming, a radio blaring, a dog howling, a glass of spilled milk, and a messy coffee table...…

Utah Trip Plans

Family Fun
First off, Kevin has a new post. I've had several people ask recently when we are coming to Utah again. Nothing is scheduled (or paid for) yet, but we plan to be there when my brother Nate returns from his mission to Guatemala in September. That will have to be one of our shorter trips as now we have Michael's school schedule to consider as well as Kevin's work. Too bad we can't come for the whole summer! The humidity and heat are already making their mark on our family. I'll just say that I now know what it feels like to be sweating bullets. Yuck! I miss the green grass up there, here the grass is a lot hardier to sustain the heat, but it's also much rougher and…

Oh Dear…

Family Fun, Humor
So, The boys have been a restless mad mess all day today, I can't say how many times I've asked them to settle down, put them in time out etc... So I snapped, I got out the mean time out. We do room time and time out, but I'm not great at enforcing them. This time I put both boys on the couch in each corner and stood over them. When they kept wiggleing I made them fold their arms... Aiden bowed his head, squinted his eyes and mumbeled as he kept glancing at me, then audibly said "...name of Jesus AMEN!" and then nodded his little head and tried to get up. Too bad he was still in trouble, but it was almost cute enough to get him out…

Mom’s been doing her job.

Family Fun, Humor, Me, Michael, Wedding Photography
Michael's just full of those one liners lately...  Since I shot a wedding on Sunday, I spent most of yesterday working on the photos.  He's grown accustom to some computer time each day, but there wasn't any until I got burned out in the afternoon.  So when Kevin came home, the boys were on the computer, Joey was taking his afternoon nap, and I was sorta asleep on the couch.  Kevin asked Michael what they did today and he said, "Mom's been doing her job." I explained to Michael earlier today that since I just shot a wedding I'd be busy working on photos for a little bit, because that's my job, and that I'd need his help while I worked to stay out of trouble and help Aiden out. …

Wedding Today

Me, Wedding Photography
I photographed a wedding today. It was beautiful, and fun, Kevin and the boys did great by my account. Joey even took a bottle. The bride and groom just decided to get married a few days ago so it was rather thrown together, but it didn't feel like it, it was intimate, just a dozen people, myself and the Judge, oh and the limo driver. I rode a limo today!!! That was a first too! The wedding was in her home, and then we went to dinner at a local restaurant. It really felt good, and really turned out nicely.
