Oh my…what BIG teeth you have…

Today was an absolutely beautiful day. 
I’m feeling a little thinner these days and guess what?  It makes me want to get out and about….and shop. 
So, the boys and I headed out to run some errands and ended up at OLD NAVY for a little shopping therapy.  I felt so bad about making the...

Nutrisystem – Week 2

Well, it’s time for another weigh-in with you guys.  This week wasn’t near the loss I was hoping for, but I’m still optimistic.  I haven’t cheated AT ALL – not even a piece of Wes’ birthday cake!  Can you believe it?  I would love to be exercising more, but I can’t really control that yet...

Nikii

I met up with Nikii at the Myriad Gardens to snap a few shots for her real estate business.  The weather cooperated to an extent I suppose.  It was a gorgeous, sunny day – but, the air was really chilly.  Poor Nikii was freezing by the end of the session, but she was a trooper. ...

Jessica…all dressed up

You might remember Jessica from this post a while back.  Recently, her mom hired me to take some photos of her all dressed up in her cotillion outfit.  Afterwards, I was the photographer for the cotillion celebration itself.  It was pretty funny watching all those young kids (14-17 year olds) eat a nice sit-down dinner...

BSM – Happy Birthday baby boy!

My baby boy turned 1 year old this weekend…the 23rd to be exact.  It’s so strange to realize how fast they grow.  It seems as though he was born just a few months back, but that is not the case…
We celebrated with a small family party at my mom’s house and had a rockin’ time! ...

Monday the Bullfrog

I actually escaped from the house for a little while this past Sunday.  Ty and Josh went to town to get out for a while, which left me with Wes.  I was trying to think of something fun I could do with Wes in tow.  Then, I remembered I had a Barnes and Noble gift...

Black fingernails

What is it about black fingernails?
Apparently, I’m getting old.  I look at all the black fingernails the girls are sporting around town these days, and I think…YUCK!  Yet, everyone is doing it…even the older gals.  So, then I ask, "am I really REALLY out of style?"  I guess I am.
I don’t plan on painting...

Biting the head off…

Well, I hope you all had a really great Valentine’s Day. 
As you can see, I haven’t been to the blog in a couple of days.  I’ve been really trying to focus on this NS diet thing.  Plus, the weather here has been super cold and not so great for taking pictures.  The boys and...
