Working Sundays

So his morning Brandon and Danny headed to Pell City.  Brandon had a Mass to video for a priest at Our Lady of the Lake.  I am so thankful for him having a few jobs coming in, they are definitely an answer to some prayers. 
John Michael and I got up and headed to Aldridge Gardens where I had a few photo shoots.  I love working out there and today there were no snakes.  There was proof that they were there, like snake skins,but I did not see any, which was a nice break from the norm.  We did see a lot of baby turtles, they were so cute!  It was also Art in the Gardnes. and I hatesd that I could not really look around but it is not like I could have gotten anything so what is the point. 
John Michael and I came home to get some work done.  Since I am seriously behind we got the laundry caught up which was a nice plus all by itself.  Being behind is not something that I enjoy even a little bit. 
Brandon and Danny headed to the lake to see his mom and Dale, and Danny stayed with them for a little while to swim.  They stopped at Bojangles on his way home, which really made his day.  He got to swim for a few minutes and that is something that he has missed.  Hopefully we will make it up there sooner than later. 
Well everyone was home and tucked in long before the rain, it thundered and lightening here horribly but no rain.  That did not come until we were all tucked in.

Weddings

So I am again writing a day behind. Sorry about that.

Danny had a blast with Chandler, and was not too happy that I had to pick him up but he and John Michael were headed to Nana's for the night. He thought it was awesome he would not be home for 2 nights in a row. I am just glad that he had a good time, that is what matters most to me. Thank you guys so much for making Danny feel at home, he had a blast!

Brandon and I spent most of the day charging batteries and getting ready for the wedding that we were working. I was obviously the photographer and Brandon the videographer. More details in the blog, but here are a few. It was at the Boutwell, and was gorgeous. I cannot wait to get to work on the pictures. I will get one up at least tonight, but still have 2 birthday parties to get edited.

Well, we were exhausted when we got home, and now I am getting off to enjoy Saturday! I hope that everyone had a great Friday.

My Little Chef

Today was a very good day. We went to my mom's who has been in Oregon and did a few things around her house before she got home. She is home safe, sound, and exhausted. I talked to her for a little while, but told her to call me tomorrow that I was not going to call and wake her up. I am glad that she had a good time and was about to spend some time with family that we do not get to see nearly enough.

I also was able to get a lot accomplished with editing the photographs. Beach session is completed and blogged about, go check it out! Working on the wedding now. YAY for a busy growing business! I love what I do and am so thankful for all of the support that I have received.

I even made a dent in the laundry. Still have a ways to go to be done, but hopefully tomorrow I can round it all out.

Brandon and the boys like this weird concoction of food. Me, not so much, but I do make it for them. We were talking about the strangeness of it this past weekend so I decided to make it for them tonight. Danny wanted to learn how so I let him help. He is getting so big so fast.

Brandon went straight from the Network to the Ballpark to work on getting orders for this ball season. I am hoping that some more come in. Sunday is the last day for football registration and I hope that the orders come in for him. He is giving everyone through the first week of practice to order the package deal at an amazing discount!

While Brandon was there and after the boys ate we went to Amy and Terry's for a little swim time. Amy and I did some exercises while the kids played. It was a lot of fun! I hope that we can do it more. It was also just a nice way to relax at the end of the day! Thanks you guys! Danny and Sasha were hilarious with the waterproof camera and their skits!

Well, if John Michael is asleep I am headed there myself. We have a lot to do tomorrow, especially if the lake is in our future for this weekend?! Fingers crossed! I will be praying for all of you and I hope that you all have a day full of many blessings tomorrow. Who knew something as small as Danny helping with dinner could mean so much!

Cheeseburger with WHAT???

So today was a great day, well it was pretty good anyway.

We got up this morning and got ready to go to the dentist. The boys and I were all getting our teeth cleaned. It was John Michael's first trip to the dentist. Danny has some homework, he has to wiggle his lose tooth, but other than that got a great report. His 12 year molars are coming in, and since they should be in by December when we go back they are going to seal them. I think that this is great and I wish that someone would have done it to mine 20 years ago. (WOW that made me feel old) I got a good report, no problems and they will see me in 6 months for another cleaning. I have had some serious dental issues thanks to a horrible pediatric dentist. Anyway, this was great news for me. John Michael did great. He got a good report no problems, and he is also getting some molars in. He was a little scared of the vacuum at first and kept asking her not to use the straw, but when he finally let her he thought it was great. I was super proud of both my boys. They love the dentist, and the new one there, Dr. Marshall was great. Brandon had seen him and really liked him. I thought he was great too and so did the boys which is what is most important to me.

So we left and went to lunch with Brandon at the Shops of Grand River. It was the first time I went. Had it not been his lunch break I would have like to look around for a bit. I think we will go one day nest week after VBS. We will see how it all works out.

We got home and this is where it went from great to pretty good. It was time to clean the boys' rooms. After it was done they even felt better, but dang was I worn out! It better never look like that again is all I have to say. Tomorrow we have several errands to make happen and then we will head home to work in the den and the office. Brandon and I seriously need an office.

Brandon got a videography job for Friday night. It is a Mass at the Cathedral. I am super excited for him.

So the Cheeseburger. When we were at the lake for Memorial Day John Michael got a cheeseburger with peanut butter. Well that is what he wanted me to put on the burgers that Brandon grilled. I did and he ate it. Tonight we had burgers, again that Brandon grilled. Well he wanted his with cheese and Marshmallows. Again, he ate it. Strange ingredients but pretty funny too!

Well, I am off to bed. Prayers headed out for everyone!
