This Past Week……………

February 28, 2009

Has involved, kleenexes, hacking, lost of voice, sleeping (I mean lots of it too), drinking hot tea with honey, Nyquil, Zicam up my nose & the most wonderful, loving family a girl could ask for. 

Yes….I have been sick, BUT I’ve still had to live life as much as possible.  Both boys are in karate plus the youngest in scouts, I had an engagement session on Wednesday in SLC & my oldest had parent/teacher conferences yesterday.  For only the necessities have I risen out of bed to tackle on the world & do the duties I’ve HAD to do!  For the rest of the time I have tried to rest & get well.  What am I to my family & clients when I’m sick….NOTHING!  So I have to take care of ME first when I’m sickly. 

My house this week has been a wreck…..that really makes me not want to crawl out of bed…I just want to pull the blankets over my head & wish for a cleaning fairy to come along :-)

This morning I awoke to my hubby had cleaned the kitchen.  He is so awesome to help around the house cleaning & get the boys in line to clean too.  It’s SOOOO nice.  Makes me wake up to a new day of happiness!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok….sorry for the novel…sometimes I tend to just write & write……

Here is a little cutie that mom is dying to see her little man.  I had soooo much fun at their home.  He was a GOER!!!!!!!  I’m NOT kidding when I say  you had to be fast on the shutter for this little guy.  He was a hoot!!!!  Mom & dad were the nicest people ever.  What great parents they are.  I really enjoyed my time there.  THANK YOU for having me in your home.

For the photographers out there that blog stalk……these were all shot with D200, manual mode, Nikkor 24-70mm f2.8 lens, ISO 400.  ALL natural light…no flashes…I NEVER shoot with flash unless it’s a reception. 

So enjoy this handsome little fella………..
