I who know absolutely NO code have been working for the last three days on my new website. After all this work I can now reveal the wonder that is my simple page! Here;s the website address:
As many of you already know I have been in the process of updating my portfolio and restarting up my business. There have been some really exciting things happening along these lines. My Portfolio is looking great! I just need a few pictures. I need to up my Bridal portraits in my Portfolio and I need more maternity and New-baby portraits. In this mind I am asking all my friends that live in the area and still fit into their wedding dress (I don't so don't feel bad if not!) and are willing to dress up for a day and get some shots taken! Since this is just helping me out I'm not charging you anything, but it might be hot uncomfortable work and you're not getting paid. Hey it's an excuse to wear your dress though. If you are interested I need to know your head piece (tiara, veil, hat, none etc.) and I need to know your train length (demi, chapel, cathedral, or none) . I also need to know when you are available. I plan on doing shoots at the Will Rogers Gardens, Capitol Building, and a few other places. If you have any great ideas on a location feel free to pitch in your two cents. Along this line if you want your maternity shots done by me let me know and I'll arrange for it. I only do Location shoots at this time which means no studio shots. I like it better this way because the portraits turn out more personal. 
For the last two years I have been back and forth on a particular issue. that of Piercing my child's ears. Certain family members were all for it, while others were totally against it. It amazed me how few people didn't care one way or the other. I saw points for doing it while they were little and I saw great reasons for waiting. Trish pierced Annabelle's ears last weekend. She brought up the subject about a month ago while we were in Tulsa. It made me think about it all over again. I decided at that time the same thing I always thought- I'd love to do it, but it costs too much. So I didn't. Well I finally made up my mind, again. And this time I did something about it. My babies now have a couple extra holes each. What changed things so suddenly? I found out that Wal-mart does Ear piercing! 
Same exact way they do it everywhere else only cheaper! Woo Hoo! So I picked out some cute little 3 mm balls and got it done. We did Sophy first and she didn't even cry! They had two people so both ears were done at once. She barely jumped! I was so proud of my big girl. Lola cried a lot, but mostly because it scared her I think. She had to have hers done one ear at a time. She calmed down quickly and as soon as I put her in her car seat she was asleep! I'm now glad I had it done and that I didn't spend a fortune on it! I just wish I new about this when Sophy was little! I did it as a surprise for Jeff so I wonder how long till he notices.....
I went to get Lola's 3 month portraits done about a week ago. It takes 3 weeks to get those pictures because I went to a different studio to have them done then the one I went to for Sophy's. 
Since I can't post her three month pictures I'll post her one and two month ones instead. I forgot to post them back when I got them so I apologize for the wait. For those of you that normally get photos from me 
you'll be getting copies of these and Sophy's in the next week or two. as soon as I get around to putting them in envelopes! Enjoy the cuteness!

I got Lola's individual pictures, but I had to get some of them together in their cute 4th outfits!
I went to have Sophy's Portraits done today. I'm still really sore, but Trish came a long to help and at least it is finished. They turned out REALLY good. It was very difficult to choose which ones to get. I'm posting the ones I DIDN'T buy on here so that you can be surprised when I show you the actual pictures later. I am potty training Sophy. I know it's a lot to have going on right now, but I took that on before I got hurt so now I need to finish it! 
She is actually doing really well for a girl her age. She'll go on the potty almost every time I put her on it, but she still goes in her pants in between. If anyone has any 
WONDERFUL ideas for a two year old potty training let me know. As far as our health we are doing well. The black cloud of Bad luck still hovers over the house. Yes that's right, we had ANOTHER accident! I was washing clothes this morning as Sophy was being naughty and playing next to me. She isn't allowed in the laundry room (she likes to eat the dog food and play in the water dish) so I was telling her to go back tot he kitchen. She didn't like this and started yelling "No, Mama" and backed into the Dryer. Our dryer is a little off balance so this caused it to rock a little. No big deal right? Wrong. 
Did I forget to mention that I had been Ironing her dresses right before this. I was bending over to get some dirty laundry (a feat in itself due to my ribs) and the iron fell off the dryer and onto my neck and shoulder. Luckily it was me and NOT Sophy or Lola. My hair protected my neck so I now have a big ugly burn on my shoulder! At least I had turned it off already and it was cooling down. I had it on the cotton setting so it would have been REALLY bad if it was still on. So it's official- Jeff took all our luck with him when he left town! I just hope he brings it back with him!
My tiny little girl is Two! I can't believe it! Thank you to everyone who sent cards and called. She has had a very exciting day! We went to the Zoo with her friends for cupcakes and juice and a chance to look at the animals. It was REALLY hot so we didn't stay as long as we had planned. She got several balloons so that people could spot us, one of which was a Mickey mouse balloon. 
She LOVED it! She held it the whole way there, the whole way home, and a lot of while we were there. She just kept saying "Clubhouse. Mickey. Clubhouse." 
over and over again. She loves Mickey Mouse Clubhouse on Disney channel. I always said that I wanted to wait until both the girls could ride all the rides before I went to Disney world with them, but now I'm thinking I might have to make a trip so she can meet Mickey. I just don't think Mickey will be as special if I wait. 
Of course Disney world is EXPENSIVE so it may never happen, but I can dream....
