Happy Birthday Cassy!

My big sister turns the big 30!!!!! today. I am sad that she is in Kuwait and we can't celebrate together. Sex in the City opens today and I think that would have made a great celebration. O-well. we will party like rock stars when she comes for a visit.

I had a great time when I went out there and I can't believe she is 30. It was only yesterday we were fighting like cats and dogs on road trips and I really knew how to bug the hell out of her!

Heres hoping this year is your BEST so far. Love you tons.

Makeshift Camping

We are planing a "real" camping trip next weekend with C and L and mentioned it to Conan. Well, that has sparked a new interest and yesterday the kids asked me if I would take them camping. Here is what I came up with

1. small pop up school house tent thing he has had for several years.
2. His lime green chairs from IKEA.
3. 4 marshmallows stuck on a stick.

this produced some serious giggles and about 45 min of play. YEAH !!!

Gallery Wrapped Canvases

I offer canvases to my clients as a product they can purchase. I did one for a sweet family not to long ago and was really happy with the way it turned out. I think I am going to order some for myself of the kids. I have a blank wall that could use some cute little faces.

Medieval Times

Happy would totally be an understatement. Conan was so excited that he couldn't even eat his dinner. He sat with his eyes wide open on the edge of his seat the whole time. I really had a blast watching him shake with excitement!!! Thanks L for the tickets and Happy Birthday Corey, we absolutely enjoyed ourselves.

From the moment I met you...

...have filled my life with more love than I ever thought possible. Thanks little dude.

I was going through all my digital pictures trying to organize and somewhere along the way through more tears than I care to admit, i finally succeeded in arranging them in some fashion. Just wanted to share a few of my favorites of the little man.

*Note: these were taken pre-nice digital camera.....man o man.

Mother's Day and other happenings

I feel like I haven't posted in a while. I had a good Mother's Day. We ate at Rock Fish for lunch and the kids got me some new sun glasses! ( I had left mine at the park during a session last weekend and I have desperately missed them) After nap, we all went to see Iron Man. It was good and we had a fun time.

Saturday we went to CW kid's birthday and it was quite the PARTY! Conan wore himself out in the bounce house and left on a sugar high after consuming the cutest (largest) cupcake ever.

Opening my card from the kids.

Me with my cool shades.

Showing our power!

This would be Conan in the batman suit we borrowed. Yes he likes it, yes he wears it all the time, no I do not let him out of the house in it!

Coloring some Mother's Day cards. He actually took his time and stayed inside the lines. I was totally impressed. I have been working with him on this since he could sit up. MAJOR progress people.

Birthday Party

Loving the backyard now!

I picked this out for Mother's Day this year. It has been so nice having a place to set our bums when we go outside. Conan is getting a kick out of eating outside and the weather has been fairly decent. WOOT! Now

I am off to plan a BBQ!

Fire Station #3!

So today we entered the wonderful world of super heroes all in a class of their own! It was really neat to see the firefighters interact with the kiddos and they were so patient to put up with the not-so-patient kids. Conan wasn't sure what to do first, check out the uniforms, the truck or the workout machines they had. LOL. I thoroughly enjoyed myself as much as Conan. They have such an important job and I hope Conan sees them as super heroes! Here are a few pictures from the day!

I have no idea why the last post is so large you feel like I am screaming at you. The movie was good, but-geez!

Wednesday Movie Review

JUMPER

This movie was actually really good! It had a fairly decent story line and the characters played their roles nicely. The only negative thing I can think of was there was not enough story at the beginning. They could have really given the viewer much more background at the start that would have been helpful.

Go see it, or rent it, whatever.
