Texas…….

May 31, 2008

See the headline my dear SIL. Tell your friend come have a looksy
A little note first….TODAY is the LAST DAY OF SCHOOL!!!!!!! YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…..so when my boys get home today we’re going rollerblading to kick off summer vacation. We have camping trips planned & lots of traveling. Between June 9 & September 13th we will be in Colorado 3 times, Nevada & a secret place. Can’t tell ya about the secret place till it passes…WHICH won’t be till September, BUT I’m WAY excited about it ;-) I’m excited about all that’s in store…it’ll be some BUSY BUSY times, BUT oh sooo fun!!!!!

So I haven’t blogged much about our trip to Texas back in April. I’ve had a TON of wedding clients I’ve had to get all their stuff in order first. I have to finish up an engagement session…which is posted below & MORE of their pics to come in my next post!!!!!

For now here is one pic of a session I did for my sister-in-laws (SIL) friend. I know you’ve been PATIENTLY waiting to see at least ONE pic from that day :-) I promise after this engagement session I’ll start editing your session. WAHOO!!! hahaha!

We went to Galveston Island State Park to take these. The sun was way bright…very windy & um…he had NOTHING to do with me!! hahaha….He was way more interested in eating the seashells & seaweed ;-) Well whatever keeps ya occupied I say…hahaha! A little dirt never hurt anyone right
What a cutie he is……

Let me know what ya think

Until next time……………

Misty: Phew.. you're making me tired just reading about your schedule! I'm very proud and excited for you. Your "secret" place is safe with me! I can't wait either! This little boy is too cute! You've got to post more for us ;-)

Ashley McKnight: Aw! What a cute lil guy, love the beach pics. You are so busy Alisha, how do you keep up??! Its the years of experience... something I lack. Lol. I think I still have a mini-book that I forgot to grabfrom you with my package- or I might be going crazy. Thanks for the advice on photography, you are sweet! You really wouldnt mind if I asked you a question or two? I feel so dumb... Oh and I dunno if you heard that Jacque had her baby girl; they named her Daisy :) 8 lbs 12 oz...

Busy bee…….

May 20, 2008

Soo I think we went straight from winter to summer!!!! Somehow Mother Nature missed us on the Spring season :-) It has been so blasted HOT!!! Guess that’s better than snow!!!! I am so sick of snow & being cold. I am just soo excited to be warm & not have to bundle up anymore..haha!

Yesterday I actually didn’t have a session booked so I took the time to enjoy the nice warm weather & plant some flowers. I am SOO not a floral girl & going outside doing yard work…UM..so NOT my cup of tea BUT I had to give myself a break from the computer. I sit here day in & day out & boy I was in DESPERATE need of a break.

I am having some e-mail issues. So if you have e-mailed me & I haven’t answered you PLEASE call me or e-mail me again. I ALWAYS return my e-mails & I have had a couple people say they e-mailed me & I didn’t receive any e-mails!! Oh the joys of cyberspace. Things get lost! So just always know…I always get right back with you so if I haven’t CALL ME
Here are a few snap shots of the flowers I planted :-) As much as I really don’t enjoy planting flowers…they sure do make a place look warm & inviting!!!!

Well I have to get back to my family life for now. I just wanted to say HI & to let you all know about the e-mail issue

Hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

Until next time……………

Misty: I know you are sooo proud of yourself!! I know how hard it is for you to drag yourself away from that office!! These flowers look gorgeous :-) Hope you enjoyed your day off.. I know those don't happen very often. Luv ya!!
