Lolli, Lolli, Lolli....

So the girls cousin Miss "K" came to town for the weekend to play. Yay for me... cuz I had a new model to work with. And there was no way that she was gonna turn me down when I handed her a huge lollipop. The girls could not wait for their photoshoot when I pulled these out. They had soo much fun and so did I. Aren't they just the cutest together?!?


She's so silly! I really wished that she lived closer. My girls just have a blast when they get together...





And poor Jack was asleep during this shoot. Maybe we'll have to do a private shoot with just him and a lolli on another day...

A few of My favorite Things....

So... My bloggin' Friend Megan tagged my a while back to list a few of my favorite things. Megan, I'm sorry that this took me forever to get to, but hey - I'm actually doing it!!!
I really had a hard time coming up with stuff/products that I just couldn't live without, but I finally thought of 2 things that I use on a daily basis...

The first one Victoria's Secret Lip Plumper.

now for those of you that know me personally know that this is a product that I really don't need. I already have big lips. Big enough that I was even teased as a kid. Now... I'm just proud of them. :) But the other magicall thing about This lip plumper is that it makes your lipstick last for-ev-er! All day almost. So for that ... I love it and don't go a day without it.

The second thing that I can't make it through a day without is
Diet Vanilla Pepsi.

I'm currently trying to wean myself off of the stuff.. but I tell ya... i just love it. One can a day isn't so bad is it? :)

So... I'll probably think of somemore stuff later, but for now that's all I've got. And... I'm supposed to tag 2 more people so...Anna and Julie - You're it

A little sunshine....

My girls wanted some pics taken with the cherry blossoms. I figured the only way to do it was either stick them in the tree or lay down flat an look up. Well... we tried both ways and while I was on my back.... I caught me some sunshine.... :)



...and Haley is actually in the tree for this one... and she's TICKED at me for making her stay there while I took the pic. She really wasn't that high up, but she was scared and wanted down.. I know... Mean Mommy!

In search of Green!

After seeing ANNA'S, then AMY'S, then HAYLEE'S Green Field Pics, I HAD to find one of my own. And yes... it's not the best time of the year to try (not to mention that I live in the desert). Anyway... I went on a hunt a found one in the making. I might not of done quite as good... but it's nice to know that there's green out there in my little desert of a town! :)



This is actually the first field we went to.. I told you I live in the desert!


A Favorite! can't get enough eyelash pics!







I wish this one wasn't so soft.. but I still kinda like it

Do I post too many pics?

Love it or Hate it...

...cuz there's probably nothing in between. Heck, I haven't even decided yet on this one. This is my oldest and I saw the look on her face and the wind blowing her hair and I told her to freeze so that I could try to capture it. There's something fun and moody that I definately love about it. Then... it needed something else, so I decided to mess around with textures. I don't even remember what I did with this one, but it was fun playing with something new. So tell me... do you Love it or Hate it?

A Photo Shoot in My CAR...

...cuz where else are you gonna shoot, right?!? My oldest had soccer practice today and I brought my camera along cuz...well, you know. Anyway, the wind picked up and it was freezing so Me and the 2 youngest climbed into the car to wait. We had a whole hour to waste so what else was I to do?!? Can you tell that she's thrilled with me? I think I even got some decent backlit ones out of the bunch. What d'ya think!






and I wasn't gonna include this one cuz it's a bit soft, but.... All week I've had people telling me over and over how much little miss "b" looks JUST LIKE ME! I just don't see it. I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and lets face it... I'm just not that cute. But today, when I opened this pic to edit... I saw it. I saw a glimpse of me in her ( and no - I don't always have a blank look on my face) It's actually that I think that she looks like my oldest brother in this one. Yup, Christian, I'm talking about you!

From the Weekend....

I've been feeling a bit unmotivated with this whole camera thing. I really am looking for some new inspiration.... maybe some better weather would help too. Anyway.. I'm not completely satisfied with these pics, but I got my camera out of the bag and did what i could... Maybe this week will be better...







..sorry... I hope I don't sound too grumpy! :)
