lots of pokes!

ok, before you call child protective services on me, i want to clarify that a licensed professional did this to my son. yes, he has inherited my lovely allergies to EVERYTHING! foods...not a problem! anything that grows outside...major problem! poor guy was a great sport during the testing. in fact, he brought a book to read so he was distracted from the raging itchiness. he survived and will live on allergy medicine and nose sprays, just like his momma. boo on histamine!!

back to school

pics to come...

recycling at it's best

use dresses from last year as shirts this year! oh, the joys of baby girls!

12 years

our anniversary is technically today, but we celebrated yesterday (as below). after soaking dirt out of every crevice of our bodies, we actually sat in a movie theatre!!! i think the last time we did that together was when the lord of the rings came out, ha! pathetic, i know. we also had a nice, quiet dinner where we ate VERY SLOW and enjoyed every bite of our food :) it was grand.

i think the photos pretty much sum up what this event is like!

take me out to the ball game

7th inning stretch :)

great seats, perfect weather, yummy snacks, and 4 cuties to share a fun night with!

the start of something good...

although i haven't had a lot of time to read & learn much yet, i do love photography. i've been wanting to practice with my new camera, but really just haven't had a chance to go out and do it. well, one of my best friends asked me to do her family's photos and i gladly accepted the invitation. it was so much fun and i absolutely loved every minute of it. i've already got some more shoots lined up and am so excited to be doing something i love! here are a few of my favorites from my first official photo session :)
