VBS Day 3

Today was the 3rd day of VBS at St. Francis. Again the boys had a blast. John Michael had the come aparts when it was time to leave because he had made Danny a picture and did not get to finish it. Once he was assured he was going to get to do it when we got home he was okay. Danny got his flying saucer that he made, and John Michael made a Darth Sixth Grader puppet. I loved all of the drawings that they did. These boys make my day everyday for so many reasons, but when they are excited about God and being Catholic my heart does kick it up a beat.

When we got home I had to work on editing. I am determined to be done with the pictures I have taken before Saturday. I know I can, I know I can, I know I can. If I say it enough I will believe it. I went and got some DVD labels so that I could complete the DVDs I have done. Now to get them all to their respectful owners. It will happen. I want to go on vacation and know that I am caught up. Well, except for everything done between Saturday and well the next Saturday! I am very excited though and I cannot wait.

Anyway, this afternoon I had a session in Calera for the 5 year old All Star team. They were a fun bunch of boys. There were some issues with their sign, but I was sure Photoshop would be my friend. Since they needed a quick turn around, well, Photoshop was not in aggreance with me tonight. It was fun though, and VERY hot. Brandon had to work late so I had the boys with me. They matched the dirt on the field when we left. Needless to say scrubbing the tub before we leave is going to be a lot of fun. I am trying to wait till Friday, but after their baths and showers I am not sure that will be possible. The baseball team was fun though and I hope that they like the pictures.

Well, I am off to bed. Before I go to bed know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. Also, please say a prayer for my sister Brittany. She is having her tonsils out in the morning. She is 16 and a little nervous, more about after surgery than before. Thanks everyone.

VBS Day 1

Today was the first day of Vacation Bible School at St. Francis. Danny was so excited he was up at 6:30. When I told him it was okay to go back to sleep I did not mean for all of us to go back to sleep but we did. Needless to say Brandon was late, so he had to work late. We were not late but a little more rushed than what I was hoping for.

The boys had a great time. Danny was glad to see some friends from school and John Michael said that he met a lot of new friends. He also mentioned that he really liked the girls.

John Michael made a Clay alien, which was really cute and a rocket. Danny got a pencil and played some games. They both had fun which made me happy.

While they were there I went to try to get a few things for the beach. I am trying to figure out what we will do our pictures in, I want something different. So far no luck. I will keep trying though. Stay tuned and please feel free to share all ideas with me, I am open to suggestions.

When Brandon got home we went to get beach chairs. We have used just the bag chairs for several years and I really wanted a beach chair! I am glad to report that we each have one. I wanted to stay in mine until I was actually in the sand, but there is a lot to do this week.

Well, I am off to bed. A little later than I wanted, but that is life. I will remember you all in my prayers tonight!

All About the Van

So today was a day that was all about the van. Getting ready for vacation means several things including an oil change, tire rotation, washing, even vent visors.

The boys are still working on the den as I am still working in the office. I did get pictures done of several of my props, which is nice because I was able to tell what I have as well as organize them some. I also have several picture frames that I will be giving away with session and I was able to get them gone through. Well some of them.

I have to figure out what we are going to do for our family beach picture, I am so excited. I want something fun and different this year.

I have also been working hard on finding the alphabet in hidden places for photography. We will see what I came up with today.

Anyway, Brandon went and did the videography for a Mass at the Cathedral tonight so hopefully that with the wedding I have coming up we will actually have a little spending money this year. We shall see.

Well, I am off to bed.I will remember you all in my prayers. I hope that everyone has a wonderful weekend. Also to Sybil, I hope that today was a great day! Happy Birthday and we love you!

BTW....8 days until the beach !!!
