Had to get my favorite truck in there. I like this one the best.

Got this from mom & dad in an email today. I think it's adorable. On vacation this week and the weather has been just great! NOT! I even have a fire going today , It's cold in here - gonna snuggle with my dogs and watch a movie. That's good vacation!
Brittney - If I ever buy a new car I will come see you! My wipers quit on the way from shopping today. ITS TIME.

That's for sure! Bart's friend Bob makes-builds-crafts (not sure of the proper terms) and he came over yesterday with 2 of them for pictures. I handed him a camera, he knew what he wanted pretty much , but I did take these two. This is same guitar front and back. Isn't it beautiful?

Okay here is one of "mine".  She didn't take a bad picture. But here's how my day started on Saturday so I was worried. I packed everything in my van and left to get April a half- hour early so I could stop at Kmart and get some extra batteries for our flashes. But 1st I stopped at the car wash and when I pulled up I realized I couldn't wash my car because my drivers side window was down an inch and won't go up. So I back out - right into a telephone box and knock it to the ground , the covers flew off, wires hanging out, great. The guy from the car wash comes over and I said "what do I do?" He runs into the office , checks the phones, says their okay so we spend 10 minutes putting the thing together. While we're doing this I say I backed out cuz my window won't go up and he says I'll help you with that and he does and gets it to go up. (WTH Bart). So he says are you paying cash or credit card , I'll put it in the machine for you. I hand him my bank card, he sticks it in and it gets STUCK! 10 more minutes and he finally gets a pliers and yanks it out in 2 pieces. Give him another CC - I'm brave - and now I'm sitting in the car wash and the 1st swoop of water sprays in the window! It's not sealed - I had cleaned my car out - nothing to stop it from coming in - blue soap - wax, the whole Deluxe car wash. I'm laughing , calling April , telling her she better find a luckier assistant. So I leave there - try to stop at a yellow light - get stopped halfway in the intersection - so just go with 50 cars looking at me. Cop on the other side (but he was busy) So now I don't have time to go to Kmart so stop at the Kum&Go - stupid name- trip on the curb - scrape half the polish on my big toe - but I didn't fall! I get behind some girl buying $40 worth of lottery tickets -one at a time. Arrgggghhhh! But that was the end of the bad luck, if you don't count the air conditioning no longer works in my van. I don't think I should be a wedding photographer at all. Sometimes I don't think I should leave my house.

A beautiful bride from yesterdays wedding. It was a long day - the bride and groom were great though! The groom liked to do the kissing shots. EDIT:  Thanks Brittney for your nice comment but I can't take credit for this shot! It's Aprils. I haven't edited mine yet.

I finally got around to watching the season finale of The Hills. Does anyone else watch this show besides me?? Don't ask me what I like about it - ITS FOR KIDS - but I do and I'm glad to see Audrina be snotty to Lo in this clip! I know- I'm weird!

our supersmart and cute grandson! Caleb is 2!

My Grandpa and Grandma. A picture my cousin Linda let me use for my book. Isn't it funny! My Mom says she doesn't remember Grandpa ever laughing so big. Something was up!

 Rick gifted Bart with some mushrooms. Not a fan so he gets them all to himself. He made me take a pic, and as you can see I'm no food photographer. That brown one is interesting though . And NO, Rick won't tell you his "hunting" grounds, cuz then he'd have to kill ya.

This might take awhile to load but it's SOOO worth it!

Is it any wonder I don't get any housework done?!  We were trying to get Taylor to do a pout, and she said she didn't have one. Kyle was cracking her up.  He was like "OMG - you do too!"

to me! 

We made Kyle do the same poses as some of the pics I took of him 9 ? years ago. He was always the best model. He's grown up a little!

Had a fun afternoon with Taylor & Kyle. Here are a few I promised Kay ( the I Love Mom ones) and here are two of my faves. I haven't even looked at all of them yet. I only took 600 or so. Seriously! Plus the cuties together.

....and you wouldn't know it from the weather. This is Festus with Mimi (Dales wife)

It's hard work being a kid! I wish I could sleep like this now. (anywhere, anytime) Looks like I was posing tho.
