I can't believe that it has been almost a year since I last wrote a post. I also can't believe how fast that flew by and also how this blog was such an incredible part of my life for so long and the truth is that I have only barely even thought of it in a year. I do like to look back at the past posts and read them, somtimes it feels a little surreal, like did I really write that. It doesn't sound like my current inner dialog.<br />
<br />
I think one of the reasons that I haven't posted is because I have quite taking so many pictures of my kids. As a matter of fact I hardly ever take photos of them anymore. That sounds a little harsh and sad but it's true. Maybe I need to take more pictures of them, I could do it from my iphone. Anyway just checking in after so long. I hopefully can get back into the groove, although pinterest takes an awful lot of time !!!<br />
<br />
This is my most recent instagram. It's titled "I feel like someone is watching me"<br />

My kids are growing so fast and I so want to keep every little thing tucked away.<br />
<br />
Dylan, she is such a girly girl, who would have ever thought I would have that. She sits down on the couch across from me and this is the conversation that ensues :<br />
<br />
Dylan : "Mom do you know that boy Reed in my class?"<br />
Mom : "No I don't think so"<br />
Dylan : "Well every time I get near him her turns bright red."<br />
Mom : " Do you know why?"<br />
Dylan : " NO"<br />
Dylan : " Mom I LOVE Reed"<br />
Then an entire conversation about if I ever loved anyone at that age and yada yada yada.<br />
Then she says the most insightful thing ever....<br />
Mom :"What does Reed say when you talk to him?"<br />
Dylan : "Oh he doesn't talk to me at all."<br />
Mom : "Well why don't you ask him why he won't talk to you?"<br />
Dylan :"I know why he won't talk to me mom. He won't talk to me because he LOVES me"<br />
<br />
She's 8.5 .<br />
<br />

So then we take Ryan to a birthday party. It's 5th&6th graders, 2 boys decided to have a dance party. Anyway when we picked Ryan up it was evident that he had danced himself all sweaty. We asked him about the party and he said : " Well at first I was a little embarrassed to dance but then my body just took over and once I started I just couldn't ever stop" I love this child.....<br />

This was our 1st attempt at a Christmas photo, didn't go so well. I actually tried 2 more times to get one that I liked of all 3 kids but it just wasn't happening. I take my Christmas cards very seriously and so i needed at least one good photo. I love this one but it wasn't working for me. </div>

I did actually put this one on the inside of the cards though, it warms my heart.<br />
That's a lot of teeth !!!<br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-large;">Mac & Lucy </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucy is the brown on the left and Mac is the black speckled on the right.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are litter mates and about 15 weeks old now.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They are my babies and I think they are now the apple of my eye, I say phew to the kids where are the puppies. Just kidding, maybe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The kids love them as well, I'm kind of shocked at how much they kids do like them. Today I caught Tyler outside with both of them in the corner and he was having a full blown conversation with them. He's just like his brother, they both are in that category of "a boy and his dog". Now Dylan loves them because she can carry them around kind of like babies, I mean she is in HEAVEN !!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh one other thing, I am in no way a pet photographer. This was kind of a logistical nightmare but no one got hurt!!!!</div>

It was a great eye opener to the different types of people that I know and have in my life. You can really tell in a picture who is like what and how everyone works together. I'm gonna share a few of my favorites from the gazillion sessions I did.<br />
<br />
Looking back I'm amazed at how different each session looks. The setting was somewhat limited but I think this first one is my all time favorite.<br />

It's true, their is an angel among us. Sucha n interesting costume choice, I have no idea where it came from or how she arrived at it but I think it was such a great success. We ended up making the wings ourselves and the dress was only slightly altered angel costume we got for $7. Felt great to put this together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Now I can reassure you that Marvin the Martian and the angel got along just fine this night. The ray gun stayed holstered most of the evening, truly everyone was so into the candy that no one even knew there were others around.<br />
<br />

<br />
I know that we must watch way too much cartoon network for him to even know who Marvin the Martian is, but he did and that was what he wanted. He did end up telling me that no one at school knew who it was, I reassured him that all the important people, the ones giving out candy, would know who he was and be delighted. They were.<br />

This is the first time I have ever done Holiday mini sessions, and it might be the last. There was a huge learning curve this year and I'm pretty sure I'm not finished yet. Anyway this by far is not the best picture for a card but I truly love it. One of the best looking little boys I know. As for the neg;act of the blog, well life has gotten in the way. I'm not ready to call it quits but I am ready to slow down and if that means backing off here then that's what I'll do. So much more to come soon. </div>

I keep thinking someday I'm gonna do that and then I realize that time has passed like 20 years ago. So sad. So I'm living vicariously and think in my next life........<br />

So one of the things that I think is so fascinating is how all these girls are totally GIRLS kind of doing a boy sport. It's like their all tomboys, maybe like they all had brothers, kind of like me. Yet at the same time I think they have this natural girliness. Anyway enjoy and maybe I'll come back again soon, I'm struggling with the blog just now but I think I'll get back into it, when I find a direction.stacihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16214181601506496735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986919327914563314.post-17472093678894160832011-09-11T09:25:00.000-05:002011-09-11T09:25:21.768-05:00Scavenger Hunt SundayHere are the prompts for todays <a href="http://www.ashleysisk.com/2011/09/scavenger-hunt-sunday_11.html">Scavenger Hunt Sunday.</a> Head on over to Ashley's blog, Ramblings and Photos to check out the other great entries!!!

We were invited to Addy's 3rd ballerina/dance party the other day and Dylan went all out! I mean tutu and all. I love this uninhibited way about her. She was so proud and I thought she looked so beautiful. She's growing so fast. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

It's a very complicated schedule the 1st few weeks as everyone gets adjusted. It was with mixed feelings, mostly sad, that I sent the boys off, one to 5th grade and the other to PreK4. I have enjoyed them this summer although there have been times I felt like jumping out of my skin!!! Actually almost every day but the feeling seemed to pass quickly, most days. Anyway Dylan doesn't start until Wednesday and then I will have 3 glorious days to lunch and catch up with the ladies.<br />
<br />

They were all decked out and sporting a coolness factor that jumped right by me. I like them a little dorky myself, keeps them humble and close to mama.<br />

5th grade, I'm not sure where the time has gone. Crack, that's my heart breaking.<br />
<br />
Ryan was so thrilled really to see his friends again, these are friends I didn't know he had. I love this child, everytime I tell him how much I'm going to miss him he gets real quiet and introspective. I kow he doesn't like to see me hurt, so sensitive.<br />

Then I sae this picture and told him I was going to marry this dude when he grows up and he just laughs that little Ryan sweet laugh. My boy.<br />

Tyler seemed like a little boy trying to be a big boy. He asked me if I would walk him to his class and I said sure. Then about 10 minutes later told me there was no need and I said "woe nelly I already had my heart set on walking you to class, it's a done deal the 1st week of school, no fussing about it. ". He accepted no problem. See that shy boy standing outside his classroom, this is as close as I got, I wasn't sure I could handle it. This is my baby.<br />
<br />
He later told me "wow mom that was a long day!!!" yes it was little man, I'm so very proud of you!stacihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16214181601506496735noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986919327914563314.post-43073467757064096752011-08-25T20:19:00.000-05:002011-08-25T20:19:28.894-05:00Day 2 : Hot Springs to St. LouisThis day was long but the payoff at the end was so worth it. Who knew 1) that the St.Louis arch is a national park 2) that you can ride a very scary podlike thing all the way to the top, have a brief look around, and then ride the same pod back down. It's hard being a mom sometimes, you have to act all brave and confident when the reality is you keep your hands in your pockets so on one can see the sweat dripping off them. It was that nerve racking for me and Ryan was right along for the freakout with me so I really had to lock my knees so they wouldn't shake.<br />

He looks scarred, I was too but I had the camera so there isn't any evidence.<br />

Once we got under way it became the norm, 8 hours in a car with 3 kids and the husband , how sad for them or me I'm not sure. Just kidding I loved the whole experience and forgot how much I love to just explore. The first place we stopped was Hot Springs Arkansas. We visited to bath houses, really I thought there were hot springs that you can swim in oooops sorry kids. Turns out that the bath houses are one of our national parks!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Lots of the stuff looked like old torture contraptions. I just kept trying to imagine all these men and women using the tubs and, well really it felt like being in an old insane assylum. Cool but very creepy.

That day we got in the car for a trip to St Louis to see the arch, I'll post that day soon.stacihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16214181601506496735noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-986919327914563314.post-76509390153651629682011-08-19T21:22:00.000-05:002011-08-19T21:22:49.334-05:00Two at Mortal MusesSo I've been very busy with back to school stuff, just kidding my brain is just so unorganized that I have yet to actually sit down and get my trip pictures together. All I can say is that it was such a great trip, 3001 miles in a car with 3 kids and a husband, what more could a girl ask for. It was heaven every moment of every day and I will for sure do it again next summer. No it's true I will. Maybe a little better planning so next time when we get to St.Louis the largest convention of the year won't take every last hotel room so weary travelers and crazy parents won't have such a hard time finding a room. Anyway I'm linking up at <a href="http://mortalmuses.blogspot.com/">Mortal Muses </a>with my interpretation of "two" this week. From somewhere in the midwest I think :<div><br />
