New Stuff!

Lot's happening around here since the last post!

I have finally started my photography venture and I think I will go pretty far in my career, I am so glad I found something I am good at and I really love .. something I can share with others and help preserve memories of all kinds .. I have my starter camera which is a Canon Rebel Xs ( it was just released in august 2008) I am so grateful for AJ coming home that day with my "feel better" gift I love that man so much♥ ♥ I had been having the most horrible two weeks of my life when he went out and came home one day with my SLR I melted right there, He knows how much getting started on this path means to me and I am forever in his debt.♥ ♥

So I have started my website for now just another here on blog spot and did up a group on face book and once I get a little further I will invest in a real photogrpahy website but for now I can make these sites work for me! feel free to check out my new site ..

Tanner wow he has been doing so many new things .. His first thanksgiving and he had all real food he sure loved pumpkin pie and squash .. so far both my babies have loved squash the best!
Now we are having a hard time getting him to eat baby food tho, he has gotten so picky he will now only eat squash,peas,carrots and sweet potatoes but still seems to love most fruits as well he does not seem to like rice cereal so we will stick to oatmeal for now or wheat perhaps .. in the last two days he has been saying BaBa and more DaDa he also has been getting up on his hand and knees and rocking so any day my sweet little man will be crawling *sigh*
He is sitting like a pro and pulling himself all over our house still as happy as can be!♥ ♥

Madyson is still her great little self .. I call her my little momma♥ she is such a good little helper and wants to be so hands on with Tanner I figured that would wear off after the "newness" wore off but she is still so in love with her baby brother, She is all registered for kindergarten .. wow where does the time go next fall my baby girl will be going off to school *tear*♥

All is well with AJ and I, Finally got word today that his parental leave has been approved and he will be home for 10 weeks starting November 2Nd, At first I did not want him to take time off what is the sense now but now that he has it I am glad .. it will give us some bonding time as a couple and as a family♥ and we will be able to do things around the family and not work even for just these 10 weeks, So that vacation we never got this past summer is planned for November I can't wait to just get away and while away I can shop for Christmas WooHoo.

So that is our update ♥

♥♥Updates ♥♥

Been a while since the last update, we have been crazy busy and with AJ on leave the last 5 days I haven't had much time to jump online as we are always on the go.

Finally got the baby's Halloween costume although the company sent the wrong size *sigh* it will have to do I will make it work on him even tho I ordered a 6-12 months and got 18 months it's huge but I am sure I can come up with something as he looks pretty darn adorable in it.. my sweet little teddy bear!

Not much new happening I did a family photo shoot over the weekend and it went well .. I didn't want to do the pictures until I had my new DSLR but the girl was really loving what I do with just a crappy point and shoot camera and said she didn't want to wait .. they turned out really nice and the pictures were for sure loved!

Registered my baby girl for kindergarten on Wednesday, wow as if we are even getting close to that time! I seriously have no idea where the last 4.5 years have gone and once she is in school time is going to for sure go at super speed .. Tanner is now almost 7 months which is also so hard to swallow I am loving that he is still so babyish tho he still needs me more then Maddy did at this point .. he doesn't seem to want to try the sippy cup much but that is OK .. he is now sitting pretty well but has no interest in anything else other then rolling all over the house but boy does he get mad when something does not go his way .. let the little temper tantrums begin!

Still working on me .. this weekend is crack down time and I hope to be able to drop 20-30 pounds by Christmas, this is something I really want and so I hope to see at least a bit of result pretty soon .. once I drop the 20-30 I will see what I think and then keep going with some realistic goals .. I honestly have no idea how I got to this point but wow I do not like it one bit!

AJ's two month parental starts in about two weeks if it is approved .. still no word on that tho .. I kinda hope he doesn't get it I dunno what I would do with him home so much, I really don't want to get used to having that much help then have him pulled away for so long!
