ONE MORE FOR SKY!

This is from a previous sitting with Sky and Keaton. This is the pic I talked about where I sprayed her hair down with water and scrunched it...love!!

RODEO YALL!

I think we are the only ones in MS that haven't taken our kids to the rodeo, so we took them Monday night! Josh Turner was the entertainment, and I really like him. He was so sweet to talk about his wife and that he owed his success to the Lord!! All of the rodeo was great. The kids LOVED it..we will be going every year now.

It was Valentines too, so that was even better. A lot of you have wondered how it's been working with hubs on Tuesdays and Thursdays while the kids are in school...I have to say it's really going good!! I have enjoyed being with Chad a little too(normally our conversations are at night when the kids go to bed).:)) Sorry about my little bliggity blog being neglected, not a lotta free time lately, ha!

We had what they call the cheap seats, because it's all they had left, so we were a little too far to get any good pics. I grabbed my camera with the lense that was on there:(



i could kick myself for not taking a pic of us before we went in, our kids looked so cute in there rodeo attire.

EASELY AMUSED...THE OWL!

We were so excited when Amanda asked us to paint with them at Easely Amused. I've gone before, but my kids haven't. The instructor stands at the front and starts out with white paint and shows you step by step how to do it...I guess you could say this was more of a mom and daughter class. It was a little harder and she wanted my help...surprisingly, because normally she wants to do it on her own. I'll take pictures soon of some we have done here that she has done completely be herself that I just love!!

SNEAK PEEK FOR DEE!

I had fun today with these beautiful children!! Sky is a natural...hardly wears a stitch of makeup and looks beautiful! I had to get on stools to photograph her because it seems like she is a ft taller than me, ha. Maybe it's because I'm sooo short.

Keeton was as sweet as he was cute. He seemed like the type that would know how to do jump in the air and do that little high kick thing, and what do you know?! HE DID! I love that pic!

I love all their pics..at the very end I asked Sky could I spray down her hair with her grandmas water bottle and make it wet and kinda scrunch it for a grunge look. I can't wait to show you one of those too. She was game for ANYTHING!


all i can say about this one is wow!

go keeton!!

i want this scarf...and her eyes!

so cute and sweet

Cheri, your whole family was just a delight to be around...including Michael's girlfriend! I hope to be taking there wedding pictures one day:)

My post might not be as often. I'm going to be working for my hubs on Tues and Thurs while the kids are in school. I'm actually looking forward to it and having to get myself dressed for a change. Normally I stay in my lounge pants most days(all day)! At least two days I will get dressed:)

PRAYING FOR YOU CHERI!

Today I had the honor of photographing Sweet Cheri's family! Let me tell you why it was so special:

Cheri had been going to the doctor for several sinus infections and kept getting sick. She had a scan done and they found she has a rare form of cancer. I believe she was diagnosed on Dec 17th and went to MD Anderson several wks ago and her cancer had quadrupled in size. They are very hopeful that they can shrink it with chemo over a six months time and then try to remove the tumor at that time.

She has the sweetest spirit and the best attitude towards life! I text her while she was at MD Anderson and told her I wanted to do something special for her and she was thrilled!

Cheri you and your family are in my prayers everyday and we love you!!

Here is a link to her caring bridge.....http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/cheriwickens. Please join me in praying for her!

The Whole Crew

ok jenny you are on!

So, after Jenny's post yesterday and her words of encouragement I restarted myfitnesspal.com. Honestly, it really is the easiest and best thing out there! It doesn't cost a penny and you can download it to your phone...on the hero, go to market and type my fitness pal.

It will record what exercises you do and subtract that from your calories, and honestly it knows every restaurant and every food item! I put it on my phone and when I saw that you could have friends that could hold you accountable I thought this is exactly what I need!!!!! So Jenny thank you sweet friend!

I've put on some lbs and I have got to get them off so I can feel good again...I got up and did my elliptical and jammed to Austins praise music on his ipod. Good thing the neighbors can't hear outside of my house lol!! I was very proud of myself. I wanted to stop sooooo bad after 14 min's on that thing, but I pushed on and did the entire 25 min's of interval training and I can honestly say I FEEL GOOD!!!

My user name is apradr on myfitnesspal.com and would love to have you join me!!!
