Momma said there'd be days like this, my momma said!

Well, this weekend has been........expensive!!! I have been so clumsy and just stupid!! Sunday, we our dear friends, the Capes, over and dinner started out wonderfully. I over cooked the rice and I didn't cook enough, so I made more. I put too much water in it and it had to be drained. Then, Margaret went to put my pampered chef roaster in the sink and poured soap in it.......which you don't do, it will ruin it, then I went to blow the candles out that were in the center of my new table,I couldn't reach them, so I went to pick them up and spilt the HOT wax all over my arm, my BRAND NEW shirt and my favorite skirt. I mean all down the front!!! Then on Monday, I went to mow the grass and the mower cut out on me about half way into the front, so my ever so nice neighbor came over and offered for me to finish with his mower. ( A big John Deere, really nice) I was just a mowing when I came to Tyler's baseball thingy. It is a 4x4 beam that stands vertical and has a ball you hit and practice. Well, I hit it!!! Busted the hood of the lawnmower and now have to replace it this week. Brad was aggravated at first and said, Did you not see it right there in the middle of the yard?" That's my point....what is it doing in the middle of the yard.....JUST KIDDING, I am totally at fault, but Brad is being really sweet about it, he went and talked to our neighbor for me and is going to pay for my mistake. Anyway, just wanted to share my weekend. How was yours???

Memorial Day!!

We spent Memorial day with our dear friends, Joel and Margaret and their 3 kids. They invited us to their family getaway/reunion at Amicolola Falls. We had such a great time, the weather was absolutley beautiful. We got there about 11 am and left about 7pm and then came to our house and played Dutch Blitz ( the best game ever) until about midnight! The kids played on the playground and Tyler and his friend Joel tried to see who could jump out off the swing the highest. What a fun day we spent together!!

At home!!

Here are a couple of pictures my mom just sent me from our visit home to Bainbridge. I can't believe how quickly my children are growing. It is so hard to believe Tyler will be 10 and Emma 3. God has really blessed my life inspite of me and all of my failures. The older I get the more I learn about myself, my strengths and weaknesses! If today were my last day on earth, I would die a very happy woman. "Life is not measured by days, but by moments.....cherish every precious moment you have."

Photo Shoot!!

I had a photo shoot the other day and I just wanted to share a few images. Nicole is such a beautiful girl and so natural in front of the camera! I had a blast with her and we turned it into a full day. I took over 200 pictures, and she looked amazing. I do love to take pictures. Sometimes, I really lose all confidence in myself and my ability to take pictures. I guess because I don't have a lot of equipment or time and money to invest in it, I loose sight of what I really love to do! One day, when my kids are grown, I can truly pursue my desire. Right now, though, I am enjoying being a mom and wife. I do cherish every opportunity to be able to take pictures and to create memories for people that they can cherish forever.
