Entries in My Life (20)

Can't seem to find my groove today..

I am sure it has something to do with the fact that all the contents of my former office are now residing in my living room.  Piles of product and magazines, books and well, just STUFF.. All over my house.  See, I had intentions of painting my office the perfect shade of blue. (Aqua blue!) I tore it completely apart after we got back from Jackson, have the room all taped off and ready to paint then I took a little tumble down my hill in the back and I just haven't been able to get to it yet!! The mess is really messing with my mojo..   I am hoping to get it painted tomorrow, so I can re-claim my life ;)

Thank you to everyone for your comments on my new logo design! :) I really appreciated the feedback. I have decided on a final design. (For now anyway!) I may end up changing it as I go on, but this one should stick for a little while :) And I *think*  I am ready to debut my Photo website.  (Little Nervous!)  It's still very much a work in progress..  BUT..

 You can take a peek here :)

And just a word here. I am still looking to book  2 or 3 more  sessions at my portfolio builder rate (Un-heard of rate of $50!) If you are interested in scheduling a session please contact me! :)

A note on our caterpillars. They have all hatched? metamorphosed? into butterflies. We kept them around a bit so we could observe them and the girls released them today :)

All in all it was a good experience, the girls really loved their little critters, we'll probably do it again next summer. 

I had a great photo session last night with the fabulous Jodi of Fancy Pants Designs. We did a few family photos but mostly some singles of her cute little kiddos. I will get those posted tomorrow :) Or, you can take a peak at a few by looking at my latest gallery on my photo site :)  NIGHT!

Up and coming Scrapper :)

So, I want to introduce you to an up and coming scrapbooker. She is VERY talented, and loves to scrap :)

This page was made by my 8-year-old, using ScrapBlog's online page builder.Brenna is IN LOVE with ScrapBlog. (Have you tried this yet??) I gave her a crash course on how to use the software and within 5 minutes she was off making her own pages. If you haven't tried this yet, you really should!! It's perfect for beginners and 8-year-olds with a passion for digi ;)

Check out some of Brenna's Pages!! She LOVES getting comments.. :)

Also, I need some help deciding on a logo design for my new photo website (coming soon!)

I think I have decided on using Little Dreamer Studio. (98% sure) I've got two logos.. Let me know what you think!! They are both completely different from each other, and honestly, I just can't decide on which one to use!!  I am only photographing children.. I may dabble a tiny bit into families and seniors, but that is all :)  So, with that said.. Which one do you like??

It is still very much in the planning phase.. I may still toss these and completely start over,  I just can't decide what my look should be!!  All CC is greatly appreciated :)

Took A Little Spill Today..

I was setting up the slip and slide for the girls today. Being the first day of Summer we wanted to celebrate a little by playing in the water and having some fun. I couldn't get the placement right on our little hill. We wanted to have a slide that the girls could just sit down and slide on because they didn't like running and diving.  We have a nice hill in the backyard, We used it for sledding in the winter :)  Well, as I was trying to move the slide, I slipped. (*Note to self: Do not move Slip and Slide while water is stil runing) I landed flat on my back and as I went down I heard a nice little *POP*. Great. I totally jacked up my ankle. I can't put any pressure on it at all.  You should have seen me trying to crawl back up my hill. (Apprently I am not a very gracefull hopper. )   So that was fun :) I am icing it and praying that I can walk on it this weekend..  I've got people to see, things to do ;)

I did have to laugh out loud though when I checked my email this afternoon. Lorynn (my four year old) has comendeared my laptop. Her favorite thing to play on it is is Photo Booth.  A.K.A> Funny Pictures..  I guess Brenna showed her how to email them, because this was what I found in my inbox::

Not sure what's funnier, the fact that she copied her dad, myself and Brenna on the email, or the pictures themselves ;) 

Hopefully these emails were also not inadvertently sent to anyone else..

Feeling Refreshed :)

So we are back from a very gorgeous trip to Jackson Hole. It was magnificent! And I am feeling completely refreshed. So much so, that the first thing I did when I got home was to tear my office apart :) From the day  we moved in, I have wanted to paint my office the perfect shade of blue. Since it will be a YEAR soon! I figured, it's now or never. Currently, my computer and the former contents of my office all reside in my dinning room. Yep, it's a mess. But I am so excited to re-do my office space :) (photos soon to follow)

So, Jackson. Wow..

And I thought MY mountains were beautiful.

 One of my favorite shots :) 
We really did have a great time. Just hung out, did some hiking, a little boat trip across Jenny Lake to hike to Inspiration Point, of course some photography, and lots of swimming. We went out on an early morning float trip down the Snake River, and that was pretty cool. Lorynn wanted more 'rapids' though. That girl is fearless..
 
Thank you all for your kind thoughts on Lorynn getting her first set of specs. I think I am over the shock of it now.. Will tackle that job later this week ;)

A Little Blue Today..

Damn. Turns out my husband and I have passed our bad eye genes on to child #2.

Apparently she has pretty bad astigmatism in both eyes. She will need glasses.  It kind of makes me sad. Both my babies in glasses at such a young age.  I have been putting off her exam because I didn't want to admit she needed them. Aren't I a good parent? Denial is not just a river.  Frrrruump.
Yep. now I am feeling blue.

Kind of over shadows the fact that I am supposed to be packing for our family vacation. Also over shadows my happy photos I snapped yesterday with my new lens.

My new lens is so pretty.

Still feel like crying though.

Will try to keep it together for the youngans.

UG.

And in other news. Sweetie is the first caterpillar to start forming her chrysalis.  She was the fatest juciest caterpillar of all :)

And yes, they will all be joining us on our vacation. Should be interesting :)
