My Exciting News!

I've got another photo shoot lined up!

This is my happy face.............

One of the guys Sam knows from work called (Cause he had one of my rad business cards!) and scheduled a photo shoot for his two young girls for the 23rd of this month. They will be getting their hair done and wearing their pretty Easter dresses for this shoot. I'm excited!.....though nervous. But I'm always nervous. I hope I do well. I'll be bringing a little bench from Anthony's room to hopefully use as a prop and I'm hoping they might have some things in mind for props too. I wish I had cute umbrellas or nice handled wicker Easter baskets to bring and use. Pray for warm weather and sunshine!!! And smiles. haha

So there you have it. My exciting news. Professional photo shoot number two coming up! :)

Sick Cuddles For Mama

My kiddos are sick. :( Anthony had a rough day Friday and is over the worst, but still isn't completely back up to speed. He's got a bit of a couch and seems a tad grumpy. And Molly.....oh boy. That poor little gal! She seemed all bright and chipper yesterday morning, but come lunch time she was looking ill and fell asleep in her chair at the table before finishing her mac and cheese, lol.

I gave her some tylenol to bring down her fever and the poor thing tossed and turned on the couch feeling all yucky trying to take a nap. You know when you just feel so much like crap and nothing makes you feel better and you're just writhing around in your misery? Yeah, that was Mols. At one point she woke up startled, looked over at me, stretched her little arms out and clamored over the couch to get to me. Sweet baby. We snuggled for an hour. By the time her Papa came home she was feeling a bit better, but her fever returned later that night and she fell asleep on my lap at 8. I made Sam take a few photos because Molly's never been a huge cuddle bug.....so I cherish these moments. 

This morning she came running to my bed and was pointing at her nose. Instead of gallons of snot dripping down her face, her nose is all stuffed up and she's getting pissed because she can't breathe. lol  She's coughing now too. At least the fever is gone, I hope it stays that way. Though I don't mind the cuddles. :) Thinking we might have to skip the library tomorrow. Boo.

Tattoo/Friend's Homecoming Weekend

The kids come home TOMORROW!!!! If I'm slacking a bit in posts this coming week, that's why. I'm SO FREAKEN STOKED!! My mom and sister are driving the kiddos home and will be staying with us till Sunday. I'm looking forward to the visit from my mom and sister, but even more excited to finally have my babies home with me. I can't wait to see them and wrap my arms around them and smother them with kisses! It's been hard having them gone from me for so long.....though I have enjoyed the 'me' time.

Suppose ya'll want to see my new tattoo? ;)

Sammy and I left the house Friday morning and got to our old tattoo shop in Bellingham, WA round abouts 3. We had some time to kill so we went in a few shops and grabbed a bite to eat. When we got to Old School Tattoo, I handed Lee, my tattoo artist, a photo of what I wanted and he drew it up and made it bigger. We started at 4 and finished at 9:30. That is a loooooong time!!! It was so incredibly painful....like, worst pain of my life. I sweat through all my clothes and had to change into shorts, haha. I don't cry.....I just sweat! The last hour or so was the worst. My little body was just DONE and I couldn't control my whole body shaking. But you know, it was worth it! I'm really impressed with my tattoo artist's work and absolutely love it....it turned out far better than I had hoped. Sam got work done on his sleeve and his turned out great too.

After our tattoos we headed straight for Wendy's to get me something to eat and then headed to our friend's place for the night and crashed. Saturday was spent hitting up a few stores and driving around our old town taking in the sights. Made me sad. :( By 5 it was time to get our party on! Our good friend has been out on the boat for 7 months and recently made it back home to his wife and kids. It was awesome that our tattoos were scheduled the same weekend as his homecoming party. I gorged myself on homemade onion bread with onion dip, pasta salad, chips, and chicken wings. Then washed it all down with one (or a few) of my new favorite drink.....blueberry vodka mixed with whipped vodka. MMMMmmmm!! Tasty. It was nice to chit chat with a few gals (one of them being pregnant.....so you know I had much to say to her, haha) while Sam and the other guys had a good time tending the bonfire. It was a good night. 

 

Sunday we hit the road for home. We took the ferry and I enjoyed a delicious pretzel with cheese. :) As a special treat I was able to do a little shopping at a mall. We got home at abouts 7 and relaxed the night away.

Great couple of days!
