Water Guns

Today was a pretty laid back day. We did some work around the house, and I had to go to the Post Office, but other than that not much. I have not felt good and I needed a down day.

I am taking some meds and about to go to bed, now that the boys are finally asleep. Again, even later than last night. I do not know what to do. Still seeking advice so if you have some that would be awesome. We are planning on getting them up at 6 in the morning and one way or another I do not plan on letting them stop going.

I cooked dinner and had it ready when Brandon got home from work. Then he headed to the ballpark. He is going to video the football games for Clay Recreation Youth Football if there are enough orders. If so it would be a great blessing, if not it means that an even better blessing is waiting. I have faith that it will work out the way that it should. He bid a job for Clay Chalkville High School and it would have been amazing, but we have not heard so I am going to assume that they decided not to go the professional video route.

The boys played outside a good bit this afternoon. Water guns and bikes were the main features for today. We will see what tomorrow brings.

I am doing a quick maternity shoot in Trussville and I am very excited about that. My cousin Amanda is having a baby girl, and we are having her baby shower Sunday and for something I want to do for her I need a maternity picture. I hope that she is as excited as I am. Stay tuned for pictures and more details in the blog that features MonicaAnne Photography and all that I am doing.

Well, I am off to bed. Know that you are all in my prayers.

Home and Back to Work

Well, we had to come home early this morning. Brandon had to go to Clay Rec for the youth football sign ups, and I had (still have) so many pictures to work on. Not to mention school work.

I do feel like I made progress today, but in some areas I fell backwards too! I am going to bust it in all areas this week to see what I can accomplish! I have so much I need to do.

Danny's invitations are almost done, I have a stack of DVDs going out for photography clients. I ordered the cutest thing for Amanda's baby shower. She will be able to use it at the hospital, and at her house after Alexa gets here. I hope that she likes it. I know I love it, and would have loved one for the boys. They are a little old now. Anyway. As soon as it is completed I will let you all know. Probably with Pictures!

Anyway. I have so much to do but with all the bill paying and invitation addressing that has been taking place I figured this was a great time to use my address book for my picture. Plus I was in overdrive and well, it seemed like the best thing to take a picture of as it is controlling my life right now.

We did not do much else today. John Michael was sick, his hernia was giving him issues. It was a busy but not really fun Sunday. I do not like it when my babies are sick. I am sure all of you mom's out there know what i mean. Even as they get older, I feel helpless.

Well, I am off. Know that prayers will be said!

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!

Meetings and Friends

So today started late. I slept much later than I wanted or needed to but I guess my body had different plans. Oh well, it was still a productive day so I have no complaints.

Brandon had to go to Clay Recreation to be there for football registration. He will be video taping all of the football games, as long as enough people purchase the discs. I really hope that they do. I will go one Saturday with him to get some photographs, but this will be his fall baby. The boys had to go with him today, because I had to meet with a couple about a wedding. He said that the boys were great and as always Danny got a kick out of helping. There were no orders today, but several fliers went home. Come on everyone, it is a great deal! Praying that more orders will start to come in. Also praying that more people sign up, right now I think registration is pretty low.

The couple that I met with today was amazing. They are so sweet and are going to be stunning to photograph. I am looking forward to August 5th when I am able to be a part of their very special day. TC and Danielle I know that you two will be very happy! They are very easy going, which is always nice.

After Brandon and I got home from our business for the day everyone changed and we headed to Amy and Terry's for dinner and swimming. It was great spending time with them and Terri. The kids all had a blast. Between the pool, hot dogs, and the Wii I am not sure what they enjoyed the best. After dinner the moms all got into the pool and it was a lot of fun! Thanks again for having us over.

Well, everyone is home and it was not long at all and the boys (all three of them) were passed out. I love it when they play themselves to bed. Tomorrow is going to be busy, laundry, cleaning errands and a photo session are just a glimpse into what it will bring.

So I am going to join everyone else in dreamland. I am pretty beat. I am so thankful for good friends and a growing business, all of which were the highlights of the weekend. Praying for everyone!

Sunday Swords

Well against our better judgement we let the boys buy swords when we left the beach. They had to use their own money and it was known that if they screw up with them then they are ours. These things will be the death of me. I did not think that they would buy them but they did.

I woke up sick this morning. Well, not really sick, but with serious sinus issues. Oh beach....how I miss thee! The thing is at the beach with the salt air and salt water I can breath so much better.

Brandon was going to the football registration with Clay, so that he could get preorders for the DVDs of the games. He arrived and there was nobody there. He called several people and hung around for an hour. No returned calls and nobody ever showed up. I wonder if they will have a football team. Surely they will not do registration this weekend it is a holiday weekend after all. We will see what happens, but without the sales he cannot go video. That is a lot of money and time on his behalf. Trussville is done with registration I think, and other than online Clay has not even started. The thing about their online registration is it is a joke. Just a paypal link. Really?! Not sure who is doing the web page but it is definitely not someone who knows what they are doing. A lot of flash too, which means not Mac friendly.

Brandon came home and we went and did some basic running around. We had to get the garage door opener from Chris, thank you again for feeding Charlie Brown and making sure our plants had water. We also had to go to the store, we had nothing in the house. Plus we knew that the diets were starting which meant we needed some things so we did not blow it on day one.

Well, I ended up a day behind, and I am hoping tonight I can get back on schedule!
