Lily

Does it seem lately that I post mostly about Lily and not really about Sean?
The truth is that Lily is at such a cute age right now and just so naturally funny that I can't help but post about her.

Sean is at a stage right now where he just wants to sit there playing computer games, watching t.v. or playing with his little boy toys.

Lily is all about twirly skirts, makeup and scooping up dead cockroaches into her glass slipper and walking around the house talking to them.

Yes friends, I have a truely unique daughter. Tender hearted I guess. She found the dead cockroach and wanted to pray for it and then (I kid you not) make desert for it.

I am petrified of them dead or alive.

I did not want to scare Lily or give her my fear so I went along with her.
Plus, I did not want her to touch it so I had to make sure she only kept it in her glass slipper.

I was finally able to convince her that the bugs mommy missed it so we gently put it outside and said goodnight. She then put her head down and slowly walked down the hall and said "I miss my friend".

I will try to find something to post about Sean soon. Oh! He did tell me tonight that the creme brulee I made for desert looked a little like throw up so he wasn't having any.

Wedding Cake Picture

I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding on Saturday. I have been doing some family photographs for other people and children for a year or so now.

I really did not start out loving photography, my sister did. We always called her the family photographer when we were younger.

I married Buddy and he loved taking pictures. He had a nice enough camera already but with everything moving digital he bought us a really nice Cannon EOS 20D SLR, some equipment and several photography books.

Anyway, I still was not too interested until I had my babies and I fell in love with it.

I am still very much an amateur of course! But, I enjoy it and am just grateful that people give me the opportunity and actually trust me enough to do it.

Bye bye car seat

Lily is officially out of the "baby" car seat and in a big girl booster seat. She is very proud. We went to Target and got the VIP - Very Important Princess seat....

Is she not the cutest little thing?

My sister's daughter, also Sean's partner in crime is so adorable. But, don't let that sweet face fool you! She emailed me this picture and it was too sweet not to share.

Happy Birthday Mom!

My sweet mother: AKA (maw-maw) had a birthday this week. Lily & I took her to lunch today to celebrate with just us girls.

We went to MY favorite place (go figure) Eastside Grille. Mom was good and stuck to her healthy eating habits as of late having a salad and some grilled chicken. I on the other hand was in no mood for healthy eating. I just had to have the Chicken fried steak, fried green tomato and mashed potatoes. Three of my favorites. I did have some turnip greens too. Soooo good! Sounds like it was my birthday huh? Lily stuck to her standard chicken nuggets. Silly girl!

Here are a few pictures of Lily and mom sharing some ice cream.

Wheat Twins, A Thins.... Whatever!

My kids are so silly!!!

Lately Lily has been humoring me with her pronounciations of wheat thins. I don't know if she is just being silly or is really having a problem saying it. She calls them tumble wheats. I correct her, but, also think it is kind of cute so I laugh. Today I caught her with the box and she looked at me and said "I was just getting me some A -twins". Confused, I asked her to tell me again what they were called and after thinking for a second she said "uummm, bumble beets".

I thought this was cute enough to share so I ran and got the camera to take her picture with the wheat thins. She was very excited about this.

Of course, you know Sean had to get in on the action so he wanted some food to take a picture with too. I offered him the wheat thin box but he would not have it. He wanted something better he said. He got a container out of the refrigerator and held it up. When he saw that it was spinach wraps he was very disappointed. You know me, I had to take the picture of his disappointment cause it was just too funny not to share.....

Laughter IS good medicine and I needed some today!

Laminin???

I stumbled upon this today after someone recommended I watch it. It is a little lengthy (about 8 minutes) but, amazing. You will touched for sure.....


Oh yeah, be sure to pause my music first or it will interfere!
