Back to Work

Since the tornadoes things have been crazy to say the very least and I have been behind in so many aspects of life. I am working on changing that fact about myself.
Today I had two photo shoots and they were so much fun. It was great to get back to work which lets me know that we are basically on track to normal or at least our new normal. My sessions were great stay tuned to the blog on www.monicaannephotography.com for more on them both.
Brandon had the boys for most of the day and they cleaned up which definitely made my day! I love coming home to a clean house, or at least cleaner than it was when I left. Starting tomorrow I am cleaning up and out. With the move coming up I do not want to take anything that we do not need or will not work at the new house. I figure starting now will make it much easier this summer.
We had homemade tacos tonight and they were so yummy!
Well, I have to go to bed. I wanted to be there by 10, but you know 11:30 is not that far off. Good night!

Tacos

So today was a crazy Friday. I do not feel like I will ever catch up from being without power for a few days.

I decided to make tacos for dinner tonight. I have been wanting them, and the boys are always happy when that is what's for dinner. They could not wait to help me finish them up, which made me even happier. I love it when we are able to work together to accomplish something.

Nick came over for a little while tonigt with Kiersten and Elliott. The boys were pumped to have company. I was embarrassed for anyone to see my house. Oh well, at least Nick knows what I have been up against.

I started working on the kitchen. While I did not get much done, I did get a ox of goodies for my friend Amy. I hope to have it completely ready tomorrow. We shall see. At least by the end of the weekend!

A Great Day to Be on The Beach

This morning it was a litle overcast, so Brandon decided to make a pretty big breakfast. It ended up being perfect because by the time we were done eating the sun was coming out.

We spent the day on the beach, which in my opinion is all you should do while on the beach! I honestly do not think I would ever get tired of waking up each morning to the beach. One day it will happen. But for now I am making the most out of our vacation. The boys had a blast catching minnows with nets, I was surprised that they were really doing it!

I came up start cooking dinner for everone. This is not just 5 people, this means 26 people. Tacos was what I chose to cook, it is easy and usually everyone enjoys it. So I did. I made regulr taco meat with hamburger meat, chicken (Fajita style), chicken and steak strips (Fajita style without the veggies), Southwestern corn, salsa, rotel (2 kinds), beans, and then a variety of other toppings, salsa, sour cream, guacamoli (sp?), and the list goes on. My mom made banana pudding and Aunt Rita made peach cobbler for desert. It was all so yummy, and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I have to say it is the way to go since there were almost no leftovers!!! I have to say I definitely think that along with everything else even food is better at th beach!

Well, after that we enjoyed a beautiful pink sunset on the bay. And then some time reading on the beach. I finished my third book and started my fourth. I am now working on James Patterson books. Love him!

Well, I did not blog last night because I was pretty tired and it seemed like a lot of work to get the computer out. It is out now so expect another post tonight!
