What do Weddings and Baseball have in Common?

Monica, Danny and John Michael is the correct answer!

This morning started early and with little arguing from the boys about having to get up. Only because John Michael was so excited about Q and U finally getting married. Danny was excited about checking out to go to see the wedding.

I stayed the day with John Michael and the 4K classes to take pictures and help everyone get ready for the big day. They were some very excited boys and girls! They have worked so hard and today it was all going to pay off.

The wedding was perfect! The boys and girls did great and I will be adding a Q and U wedding to my photography portfolio, which in itself is unique! I am very excited about getting to work on these pictures! They are so cute! The girls looked beautiful, the boys handsome! I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of the day for John Michael and for the teachers who have worked so hard. Stay tuned for a lot of pictures people, they are coming!

After the wedding we came home and started on homework and getting ready for baseball. Both boys played, one at 6 the other at 7:3o.

John Michael's game was at 6 and since Brandon had to work late I was the coach and I have to admit it was a lot of fun. For 6 innings we were 1 and 1, we went into one OT inning, the 7th and ended up losing 2-3, but the boys did great! I was so proud of them all!

Danny's game was at 7:30 and they all did great too. They did lose though, which broke Danny's heart he wanted to be undefeated, but I assured him that was something that was easier said that done. He was a good sport and said that they would just have to play better next time, which is Saturday!

All this said I am just now getting to bed and I am pooped to say the very least. Tomorrow morning I have a product shots photo shoot, then to get Danny, and then a prom photo shoot. I am very excited. I love the fact that my career has become something that I truly love doing!

Before I go to sleep I will say a prayer for all of my friends and family. You are all amazing people and I hope that you know that. So many times as I have learned we are so busy with everything that we do not enjoy anything. This is something I am not doing anymore. I am truly going to love life and everyday that I am blessed with. I am loving living life and I hope that you are too!

The Wedding has Been Announced!

So to say that today started off rocky would be an understatement. We were on our way to school when Danny said he did not feel good grabbed a bag and decided to get sick. Needless to say I called the school and turned around heading to John Michael's school.

We got to John Michael's school and I told him to put on his shoes to which he responds "they are in Daddy's truck." Guess what we turned around went home got the shoes and headed back. Fortunately we were really early because of not taking Danny. The down side is gas is 3.45 a gallon and I wasted a lot today.

I took him to school, and delivered Morgan Makenzie's Baptism photo CD and video DVDs to her momma! It is always great to see them in the mornings.

Danny was much better by lunchtime, if it did not take me 30 minutes to get him to school he definitely would have been checked in. It is all good though. I did not get much done on the house, but I did finish the Christmas 2008 scrapbook. Still so many more to do though. I will get there.

We went to get John Michael from school and he had a great day. He told me all about being the one who goes down the isle at the wedding ringing the bell. I asked him who was getting married (of course this is information that I already have) and he said "Miss Q and Mister U." He was so excited that his best friend Sam is going to hold U and that his current girlfriend (this changes more often than I care to admit) Shanna is holding Q. He is so excited and I have to admit I am getting there too.

John Michael had practice tonight and since Brandon had to work late (normal for Thursday) Coach Tim took charge. It was a great practice and the boys had a blast.

We had to stop by Walgreens so I could pick up some pictures that I had printed. These are from when Danny was in 4K. I have started working on this book and actually have it done except the pictures. Anyway. As I was working on this and going through Danny's old work, John Michael was getting a kick out of the work that was the same. Well, we came across a picture of a bear and a matching page that Danny had done and it was the same page in John Michael's folder from today. They thought that this was great and I have to admit I got a kick out of it too. It is so amazing how different they are, yet how similar. In fact I was putting the class picture in the book and asked John Michael to see if he knew the teacher...he said "that's my Mrs. Hays" then I asked him if I could find Danny. He looked and looked and then said "no, but I think I found me, or a kid that looks like me." I asked him which one and he pointed to Danny. When I told him he just laughed and said that it was silly.

Well, I am not long for bed. Before I go to bed tonight I am praying for all of my friends and family. New and old I love you all. Please pray for baby Jemma tonight as she had a stint put in her head today, I am waiting news from her mom. Thank you all!
