You Might Be A Redneck...

If your mom captures you with BillyBob Buckteeth in and no shirt on...



Teeheehee... we were Skype-ing with my mom and Jeremiah dug out these nasty looking pair of teeth to show her. It was hilarious and this image still cracks me up remembering it!

Oh, and yes, this image is part of the stuff-I-never-posted series. Although... my mom said I did post the last set and I had to laugh at myself for being so scatterbrained about it! I lost my mind and I think my sanity followed (haha Deanna!)!!! So, yeah... if I have posted this before, just enjoy it again. :)

Yes, Folks, I Am A Professional...

Please do not steal or copy my amazingly-perfect-every-time shots. I know you are all just dying to shoot like me with every shot so perfectly clear and in crispy sharp focus... Here is an example of how I am consistently awesome with every shot:


Aren't they such a lovely couple?

Or was this a family shoot?

Or that one guy's dog?

lol Go me.

Dear Daddy...

Apparently, you need to cram in more "boy" time. Especially with Joshua as he likes to play in Mommy's makeup. Mommy is getting tired of cleaning up eyeliner all over the bathroom and all over Joshua's face...


He's starting to look like Gene Simmons from KISS...

Actually, this is a mild version of what Joshua usually does. I was just a little less frustrated enough this time to remember to get the camera out to document these moments for his future wife.

And just a few random snaps of the boys wrestling. Joshua is counting how long Jeremiah's been down...

And taking a moment to admire Jeremiah's hair...

And this one is for Jess who seems to think my house is always so neat and tidy...

I wish! Ugh to clutter!

{Mommy Moment}
As sad as this is it still made me laugh: Joshua was especially unruly one day and that evening he didn't let up as I buckled him into his car seat next to Jeremiah. I said teasingly, "Joshua, what am I going to do with you? Do you not like me and want to go live with someone else?" To which Jeremiah quickly jumped in without skipping a beat and said to him with a hug and kiss, "Goodbye, Joshua. We'll miss you."

Stuff I Never Posted...

I'm thinking I should just start a series of posts like this. I have so many unposted images that are dying to get a chance to strut their stuff here but alas... life is calling. And, really, that is ok sometimes too!

These are from JUNE. I'm not kidding. At least I'm still in the same year, right? We took Jeremiah to the park to do a little fishing and we did just that. A LITTLE fishing. Mostly just goofing off and enjoying each other's company. You know, the good stuff.

My mom got lots of Joshua time while Daddy and Jeremiah fished...

Tossing bread bits to the ducks...



The little fisherman...

The little cutie...

We ended up at the water park and Jeremiah had to play with the water gun as the sun was setting...




Joshua was content to play in the puddles...

Fun in the golden light...

Katie: Class of 2010

I can't believe you are really a Senior!!! Time sure does fly...

Just a quickie sneak peek from tonight's session for my sweet Miss Katie!

Mmmm... I love this lens... But it might just be that Katie is just too fabulous and it wouldn't matter what lens I used!


Rock it, girl!


Gorgeous-ness


Katie, you are so beautiful! I am so honored to capture this exciting time in your life. You are an amazing young lady and I am blessed to know you. (And you're a pretty great babysitter too!)

Hmm...

Just posting some random pics that I never posted. These are so old! I am not even sure how old Joshua is in this pic but it was probably around 7 or 8 months? He struck a funny pose while sleeping...

Must be heredity since someone else has the same issue...


Or else we are just really boring around here. That's probably it.

Evil Kneivel strikes again. I heard a crash and Jeremiah yelled Joshua knocked over his pirate ship. He has a big Playmobile pirate ship in his room. No big deal, just brothers fighting... I came in and found a ship on the floor but it was not the one from Jeremiah's toy collection. It was the model ship that was on the very top shelf of a 6 foot bookcase! I jerked my head up to find the little stuntman perched up on top of the shelf reaching for a piggy bank. Apparently, he climbed up to the top bunk and then climbed another foot higher and crossed a 7 inch gap between the two pieces of furniture to end up there. Enough wobbling of the shelf knocked over the ship but THANK YOU GOD the shelf nor Joshua came toppling down with it. I am more serious than ever about making the kid a straight jacket. Or maybe a plastic bubble...

I {Heart} My Family...

The uber fabulous Jessica Bell took some pics of our little clan and I was so thrilled to get some printed to put up around the house.


As many pics as I take around here it was nice to be included in some of them...


And *GASP* one of hubby and I...


And now my boys can remember that I was a real person in their lives and what I looked like...

Joshua likes this one... :)
