Birthday overload
July is the month of birthdays in our family. First me, then my mom and then Little T. As it turns out, she had 3 parties, not really intentionally, but it was a lot of fun! My mom threw her a party during our big family get together while we were in Louisiana. It was so cool to see all the cousins together again, they’ve grown so much! My mom and step-dad have 12 grandchildren, two live in Oregon so 10 were at the party. Of those 10, Ty is the oldest, so you can imagine it gets a little, uhm, crazy!! I do have some group shots of all of them together, but haven’t even opened them yet. Prepare […]
I’ve been a bad blogger…
here lately. Not normally like me, I love blogging and relish the 10-15 minutes a day it takes. It’s my time, just for me, and I love having it. But, me time hasn’t been abundant. Jase was out of town for a few days while his dad had surgery. My father-in-law is doing good, so good, they let him go home already. We are so thankful and pray the biopsy comes back clear. Then as soon as Jase got home from Corpus, we had to gear up for Taryn’s 3rd birthday party the next day. We’re in birthday party overload. Somehow it happened that our little 3 year old ended up having 3 parties. Not intentionally, it just kind of […]
we love you grandpa
Jason is leaving tonight to go down to Corpus Christi and spend a few days with his parents. His dad is undergoing surgery tomorrow to have one of his kidneys removed. About a month ago they discovered a tumor on one of his kidneys. They won’t know if its cancerous until its removed, but we are praying for a smooth surgery, quick recovery and clean bill of health. We’ll be sending up lots of prayers for you, we love you.
mmmmmmm, pears
Ever had one of those days where every.single.thing was a struggle? Today was one of those. Just a frustrating day, kids running a-muck, too many things on my plate. But it’s now 9:37 pm and all I hear is the sweet sound of kiddos tucked into their beds, sweet joy!! Come on ya’ll….I’m not the only one right?? Thankfully, Ty’s arm is much better today! And Emily, "y’all" comes from Louisiana too 😉 I’ve been saying "y’all" and "fixin to" for a good 20 years now! My little dude. Mmmmmmmm, pears are good. Eating with the little dude is a full body experience, check out the pears between the toes! (pardon the wacky color – used my speedlight and chandelier […]
10 on Tuesday
1. Tyler, oh Tyler. Yesterday while riding home from his buddy Kayleigh’s house, he misjudged (again) our driveway while going too fast on his bike. The damage was two fold, thankfully Ty is fine as far as we know, he goes in to have his arm x-rayed later today. It’s so hard to know what is a serious injury with this child. He has hypochondriac tendencies. Seriously y’all, the child once iced a mosquito bite. I’m not makin’ that up either! Every little thing is major. If you ask him on a scale of 1 to 10 how much something hurts, it’s always a 9, always. After talking with the nurse yesterday, we decided the x-ray could wait until today […]
Trash the Dress, Austin Style
Finally getting a few spare moments to catch up and share a little. I thought I’d post the link to the slideshow for the Trash the Dress session I did. I can’t tell y’all how much fun it was!! There were a total of 5 models and 3 assistants. A big, huge, thank you to everyone who participated. Oh, and while we had permission to be on site, the fountain wasn’t specified, so we did that last, just in case we got booted out. The security guard came and stood next to me while I worked when the girls jumped in and I told MC that 1) she should take a photo of me if I got hauled off in […]
