Just So You Know...

I updated my photography blog with all of the news on my most recent events :) 

KIDS!

Aden and Ava had a checkup and shots on Tuesday of this week...here are the stats :)

Aden

28.5 lbs   52%

35.5 inches  68%

Ava

19 lbs 15 oz  52%

28 inches   40%......shortie!

They have done so well after their shots-maybe a little feisty but I'm OK with that! Still no sleep for me and Ava...someday....someday.  Alrighty, I have to go cut Aden's hair LOL

Be an American...VOTE!

This morning I VOTED for the first time! I was so excited to go have my voice heard :)  Actually, I feel a little embarrassed that I have not voted in the past, but there is no time like the present. Everything changes when you have children, so I want to do my part to make sure their future is a good one (corny??).  Anyway, I'm wearing my "I voted" sticker right now HAHA! 

Soooo, yesterday I had a meeting at Morningside. I was given the grand tour and was able to talk with "the boss" about what they are looking for as far photographs are concerned. My first event is this Wednesday evening, and then I have another one on Saturday...that one is the "opening ball". It's a black tie affair and I am soooo excited! (I'm also excited about the pay checks LOL)

OK I know that I need to post pictures from Halloween but they are all on my Mommy's camera, so once I get to her house and have a few minutes I will put them up :)  

EVERYONE....GO VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Busy Busy

I am becoming a Blogger slacker :)

I have been really busy taking pictures (my first wedding on Saturday) and the kiddies keep me jumping. Today Ava took a 3 and a half hour nap-yay!!!

OK I don't really have time to blog...my website is undergoing major changes and I am so happy with how it is turning out. That is why I have been non existent lately. I'm hoping to have the new version published by tomorrow night. I'll let you all know :)  OH YA...

I was hired at the preferred photographer for Morningside Country Club....hehe!!!!!!!

Oppsies

I forgot to blog this past week :)

 I had my Grandma June and Doyle and all of my family over for Grandma's birthday. Whew! I always forget how loud my house can be when aaaalllllllll of the kids are here. My babies love having my brothers and sisters at their house. I didn't have to pay attention to my kids for about 2 hours LOL I know that my Grandma had a great birthday and I hope she will come to my house for her party again next year too...hint hint...I know you are reading this Granma!! HAHA

I am taking so many pictures! I look at my calender on my website now and there are so many booked dates! I am photographing a wedding as a second photographer on the 25th. I am the most excited about that one...AND my amazing and generous hubby told me that I could buy a Speedlite! (flash) Not just any Speedlite...but the Speedlite 580EX II    AHHHHHH! I look at the doorstep everyday to see if ti has arrived.  Also, this coming Monday I am taking PDHS Volleyball pictures. (Scott is the coach-go figure) Desert Photo Lab will be doing the team pictures and I will be outside doing all of the individual and buddy shots. I'm excited because I will get to really use my editing skills to remove blemishes ECT on these poor teenagers haha So fun. I can fix anything. (OK a little bragging never hurt anyone right?)

The babies are great. Ava still never sleeps and she is teething but in the best mood. Yesterday she pooped 5 times, two of those time there was nothing I could do about it so I just stripped her down and in the shower we went. I'm sure you've all had those things happen with your babies as well! Aden is too cool. He is trying to say baseball or basketball (we don't know which) and it coms out like this.....  beeski bowl    I am so crazy about this funny boy. He says "encore!" too. Last night was "kids eat free" at La Casita and every Wednesday they have the guitarist there and Aden LOVES him! We always get  special song played for us at our table and Aden is in heaven. 

OK enough rambling. Have a great rest of the week everyone!

Standing

Big Girl

I'm not sure if I have blogged about this in my past posts (and I don't have time to go read through them right now) but Ava is crawling--like--really crawling and has been for a few weeks now. A week after she started crawling, she started pulling up onto things. She stands up holding onto the couch, the ottoman, the bathtub, chairs, she will crawl to you and stand up holding onto your leg! It happened so fast...all of a sudden, she was standing in her crib, bouncing up and down while she held onto the side! I was shocked!!!!!!! Any way, I am so impressed with my little squirt :)

Aden's birthday post 2

I'm finally getting around to finishing up the posts about Aden's birthday so here we go...

Aden got a tricycle for his birthday! He is still working on learning how to ride it :)

Cuddling with Mommy in his jammies...he was really sick on his birthday :(

During his party...so many people...so many presents...he has tired eyes!

He HATED the candle on his cake. It was so cute-he was trying to get out of his high chair while we were singing to him!

I still can't believe that my buddy is two years old! It has gone by so very fast. He is like a little person now, not a baby anymore. I am so thankful that God loved me enough to give me Aden, he has been the greatest joy in my life (Ava, too, but this post all about Aden! LOL) I can't wait to watch him grow and learn during this next year. I love my biggest boy BATS
