Blog Material

March 15, 2010

Rick hasn’t made much fun of my blog time lately, probably because I haven’t spent much time blogging lately.
But the other night he screwed up and defended himself by saying he figured I needed material for my blog. How generous of him, eh?
Friday night I asked Rick to grab a cake (so we could try to do Carson’s cake smash pictures) and some ice cream. When he asked what kind, I said “oh, I don’t know, something oreo-ish or cookie-dough-ish…thanks!”.
Rick came home with this:

How many of you remember that I can’t eat peanuts (or peanut butter) right …

BFF

March 13, 2010

Yeah, today that doesn’t stand for “best friends forever”. And it doesn’t stand for “back button focusing” (a cool photography thing I just learned how to use). ETA: The shortcut for back button focusing is BBF, not BFF. Damn, my post isn’t as clever now.
Today it stands for Big Fat Fail. Because I tried to do some cake smash pictures for Carson’s upcoming birthday, but my sweet baby was so not interested in the cake.

OK, we’ll try again…

The cord from the lights was more interesting than the cake, apparently.
You KNOW Mallory was more than happy to pick up …

The Michael Jordans of Ballet

March 13, 2010

Normally dance class is held back in a secret room, and the parents aren’t allowed to watch. Mostly I think because we are a HUGE distraction to the girls and they won’t focus on the teachers. But once in a while, they let us watch, and Thursday was one of those days.
How cute are these little girls, with their tongues sticking out in some serious concentration? You can see “Cafrine” (Catherine) and Alli in the first three pictures.
The girls are gearing up for their June recital. I can’t wait.

Mallory’s Faces

March 10, 2010

Um, yeah.
These don’t need any introduction. Just enjoy the goofball that is my daughter.
SUPER happy face
Sad face
Angry face

For-evah

March 9, 2010

I feel like it’s been forever since I’ve been here, but I’ve been busy being a fancy wedding photographer and all so my little blog got neglected (post a comment if you want access to the wedding pictures!). But, just because I haven’t been oversharing here doesn’t mean I haven’t been recording funny stuff to share with you. So, here are the gems from the past couple of weeks.

All three of my sister’s kids were sick with strep throat a few weeks ago. Mallory kept telling me that Lauren has “stripe throat”.

STB: “you’re my favorite girl”
MCB: …

Carson’s Tubes

March 9, 2010

Poor poor second kid.
I am writing this post a year after it happened because the second kid always gets the shaft. When Mallory got tubes in March 2008, I had like four posts about it. Carson? Not so much. He’s lucky I even have these pictures from my iPhone.
So – Carson had been getting lots of ear infections, blah, blah, so they said he could get tubes, yada yada.
Carson got tubes. I wore a wrinkled white shirt. He didn’t freak out when he came out of the anesthesia. He’s a rock star.

Better late than never (with this post), I guess.

More Beauty School Dropout

March 4, 2010

I got to watch about 2 hours of the Olympics a couple of weeks ago by letting Mallory play with my hair.
I’ll admit that I actually put this ponytail in (just because Mallory can’t do ponytails yet), but this ponytail was placed right where she instructed me to.
Luckily she was OK with me redoing my hair before we left the house later that day.
PS – I can’t believe I am posting this picture of me with no makeup on. Blech.

Miscellaneous

It’s fixed! It’s fixed! My blogging problem is fixed!

March 4, 2010

HOORAY! Thank you, Bluehost, for finally realizing the issue was on your end, so I can go back to easily publishing pictures again (last night’s post was done without my blog-publishing software – which is a pain).
Of course now I am in full photographer mode, as I am shooting my first wedding on Saturday (OMG I’m going to throw up) and re-doing some shots for the local volleyball club next week, so all of my free time will be spent looking at pictures. And Carson is getting tubes on Tuesday. And someone is coming to look at our house today …

My Silly Boy

March 3, 2010

Yes, I should be cleaning my house right now but I have to share these pictures of my silly sweet boy from tonight. Tank was having fun making a ginormous mess with his dinner.
