Country Girl

My country girl....

Spring fever is in the air. Today was BEAUTIFUL outside!!! Imagine my surprise when I looked outside and found my daughter covered in mud.....YES, MUD!

Lots of changes..

...well it's been a couple of hectic weeks.

I finally got a diagnosis on what was going on with me, since I have been feeling horrible for several months. Long story short I have been taking care of everyone else and not paying attention to my own needs...so now I have to make some life changes. Diabetes has established a residence in my body, but I am hopeful that exercise and eating habit changes will get me back to a point that I won't have to take medication anymore...among a few other things I found out..that changes will help.

Anyway..I updated my my computer and camera...., but it's been TOO COLD to experment with my new toys yet. DARN IT!

Girl Scouts are in full COOKIE Swing..so for the next four Saturdays I have 4 hour shifts to get rid of the cookies taking up part of my living room. I miss my favorites...but I can do this!

Good bye old me.....

Bunk bed?

So we cleaned out the office, and moved things around...and moved one of the shelves to the boys room. I figured it would be good for them to have some storage in there since they didn't really have much. As you can see, Jadan couldn't stand for the shelves to be empty and decided to make the bottom one a bed. He's a funny little guy...Thank heavens he hasn't insisted on sleeping there but that one night.

Voila!

Well I played with the settings and found a reset button...LOL....it worked, how lucky is that?

Yeah it's a bit late..but I have decided to make a resolution this year. *BREATHE*

* Slow down and enjoy my children, and journal more.

* Not worry about who is or isn't reading.

* Document everyday happenings.

* Remember that life is too short to forget the little things that make me smile.

* Smile more.

* Live Freely, Laugh more, and Love endlessly.

HERE GOES:

The winter weather is in full swing and the kids have been out of school for 5 straight days. They are finally back in school today, and I was pleased to get that confirmation in a phone call from the school yesterday. Breezy was happy to go back to school...I overheard her telling her brother : I am glad we are going back so you will get out from under my butt.... ANTICS...

I grabbed the camera the other day and snagged updated pictures of them...they are growing up so quickly and changing just as fast. I found some school Proofs yesterday and was just blown away. So these are the before pictures of the boys...will get some more when I get their hair cut...LOL.

I also had highlights put back in my hair last week. So, of course, Brezzy once again having to be like momma had to have them too. She is so proud...here are a few of a little mini session I took of her. I so love my daughter, she makes me so proud of her..I can't wait to see what God has in store for her. She can be my little spitfire...but most of the time she's the smile on my face, and I feel truly blessed to be her momma.

Christmas Programs - 2009

Today was the 5th grade Christmas Program. The following video is of my son Samuel, the Breakdancer....dancing his part of Reindeer Moves for Ms. Nolan's class performance.

Well....

....looks like somehow I have flubbed the blog up, don't know how to get all my links and such on the side of the page again. Tried moving them and no luck.

Looks like in the last year I have only updated this blog twice, since I am doing photography and facebook now. Take a peek over on face book or my photography blog to keep up with me. I may start a new blog and close this one down since I can't figure out where I went wrong..........

I have been busy, settling the house, getting my photography going, and it seems to all of a sudden become a HIT. I am so enjoying meeting people, receiving email from those that love my work, and phone calls from people wondering when I can work them in my schedule. LIFE is good, God is good....and I shall survive!

Summer Break

I find myself lagging behind once again on my blog. I focus so much on spending time with the kids since they are all out for summer break, and on photography stuff, that time slips away, and there just aren't enough hours in the day to keep everything up to date.



I have this site, my photography blog, and constantly stay online with Facebook (no..no..no kidlets mommy isn't addicted...I just leave my computer signed on all the time.) So if you want to catch up to date info...I will jot notes here...but feel free to click on my links on this page and visit my photography blog...don't forget to bookmark it for next time!!



Lets see where did I stop last time?

Since my last notes, all the children passed to the next grade, with wonderful grades on their report cards. Iam so proud of them. They have gone to the Pink Palace Museum, and are currently going to Vacation Bible School. Me, I have been sick off and on for a month and went last week to the Dr...a round of antibiotics has followed me...and I am feeling somewhat better.

I have a meeting this week for my next photography shoot....a wedding in September.

I have some wonderful shots on the blog as well of the June 12th storm that passed through here(Quito - Millington, TN) ....

Thanks for taking a peek....more to come soon...as I start to feel better and get out more.
