Baby, it's cold outside!

FINALLY an update!

Mr. Man baking with his Great Grandma. I love the hand pics (can you tell...I took a dozen of them)

I think more people should make use of this.....

Grammar girl

Just think.....

if she tried to touch this door without gloves now her fingers would freeze off...

Until I get more pics

here is a song that's been stuck in my head

I really don't have any words to describe this....

Just one of these a day and your soul will be mine!!!!

Well I am feeling a tad better. Ever since I met my new love (Puff's with Vicks) life is beautiful again. Now if I could just get my three year old to stop talking for 5 whole minutes I may escape Monday sanely.

Too sick to update

Hopefully soon I will be feeling better..... :)

An open letter to Michael Buble

Dear hottest man alive,
How could you let this happen?! If you wanted a little secret somethin somethin on the side why didn't you call me?! I'd keep it a secret. Well sorta. I'd have to tell Stacey..oh and Kaci...oh and probably my mom too but I would NEVER tell a nasty tabloid and I would never sell pictures of you...EVER. Sure I've had a couple kids but come on who hasn't?! If anything, it makes me more qualified for "sneaky love slave" status than some skankwad who needs to eat a sandwich. Call me
Much Love,
your almost baby mama

Ornament exchange dilemma

In two weeks I will be attending a cookie swap/ornament exchange. Every year I order my ornament through St. Jude. This year my ornament is so pretty that I don't want to give it away. Yeah I know that's really crappy of me.



Yes I know this picture doesn't do the ornament justice...I'm just sayin...:)

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

I am in desperate need of a good....

Christmas card picture.

Look out...she's a killer

SHE EXISTS!

At 6 she already hates me....I'm either doing something really really wrong or something really really right.

Photo tips for moms

I am trying something new. I hope I don't offend anyone with this (it isn't at all my intent)I am going to start giving out some tips. There have been so many times when people will ask me to look at their pics and give them my opinion. And so many times their pictures could have been so much better had they done something differently.

Tip #1: BABIES
When photographing a baby, especially a newborn, try to use as much natural light as possible. The flash (or misused studio lights) have a way of just killing all those soft baby features you want to remember.
Get close ups of those cute butt cheeks or tiny fingers and toes. It's also fun to get a shot of mommy or daddy's hands holding baby's hands, feet, head, butt, etc. Down the road it's very cool to see the size difference change.
If you are using a regular point and shoot camera try out the macro setting (little flower) to zoom in on those precious little parts

Happy Birthday Mz. Drama!

Let's celebrate this day with embarrassing pictures of your brother.

A boy and his trucks

Have you seen anything more sneaky in your life?

Confessions of a slacker blogger

ok I am a terrible blogger. It's all the usual excuses...no time, sick kids, homework. etc.
So here are a couple of pics from the past few days

I absolutely love her hands.




This is just hilarious to me. "I WANT CANDY!"

One of the best things about being a parent is...

Halloween. My kids are 95% unaware of the amount of candy they receive. So the majority gets stolen by me. YES I know candy is bad, if you recall correctly, during their baking sessions I was sick 4 out of 9 months (on average)so this makes up for lost eating time. In other words, THEY OWE ME.
These were taken during the downtown trick or treating event.....



He looks thrilled doesn't he?





Tomorrow I will post about "BOOKER" and Miz Drama is home so I will share some of her as well.

Good luck getting this one out of your head

I promise to get pics posted tomorrow. We've had a pretty busy weekend.

It's my anniversary today

and this about sums it up
