I used to be super organized. I used to label everything.</i><br />
<br />
Then I became a parent and I learned that there just isn't always time to be those three things. There's nothing like becoming a parent to rock your organized, controlled, perfectionist world. Sometimes my perfectionism wants to come out and play but then it soon realizes that the play ground is not as accepting of her. <br />

It was quite extensive and detailed. Now having photographed so many weddings I look back at my old self and have to laugh. Being in control of each situation and knowing what the schedule was was super important to me. Now I find myself very comfortable without a schedule sometimes.. That way I don't have to deal with the let down of running "off" schedule and I'm much more spontaneous. <br />
<br />
My closet is still color coordinated and my boys drawers have labels on them (well they did before we moved and I do need to print out new ones.) So I still have order in my life. But kids have well rounded me. I think they have a way of doing that. I would think someone who is very messy and unorganized would learn that they cannot live like that either. There has to be a happy medium. <br />
<br />
And for me personally there's nothing like kids to point out your bad habits (those will be the ones they pick up one first.) God has a special way of making us better through our kids. <br />
<br />
So those sweet little angels aren't just good for early morning snuggles, wet kisses and precious smiles to light up your day. They make you a better person and for me they bring me much closer to God on a daily basis. Even if I'm not sitting down doing a devotional and devoting a chunk of time to read the bible and pray.... I talk to Him all day and He does LIFE with me!Crickethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13582897852620740030noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711597226608768289.post-79104966495109462472012-02-16T17:24:00.000-05:002012-02-16T17:24:48.574-05:00Handsome Dressing Dallas<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Dallas is very interested in how he looks. He always has his polo buttoned up with shirt tucked in and belt just right. His hair is always combed perfectly and everything nice and neat. I never have to worry about him getting dressed for school. When most boys aren't even sure if their shirt is inside out or backwards Dallas has a keen eye for fashion. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0M-SIG7CQ9GKxQUlZjS4gduecv0nm7Zms4U8cKlrWS-YYXUkwpfe-hvfznyvPentyi4ZfRa-jiTVWThwNgeyrD58wMXuTopp7ehSbLqu1dZW1neFt8nVNObWWIKeg4vkKggX2bRggLLc/s1600/perryellis.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0M-SIG7CQ9GKxQUlZjS4gduecv0nm7Zms4U8cKlrWS-YYXUkwpfe-hvfznyvPentyi4ZfRa-jiTVWThwNgeyrD58wMXuTopp7ehSbLqu1dZW1neFt8nVNObWWIKeg4vkKggX2bRggLLc/s400/perryellis.jpg" width="340" /></a>A few weeks ago he came home from church talking incessantly about another boy in his Sunday school class that was dressed so handsome that he just had to have the outfit. He asked the boy where he got it and he said I needed to go to handsomeboyclothes.com. Of course that website doesn't exist but today we went on a search online for exactly what he was looking for. I had seen a blue dress shirt and tie and bought it for him today at the store (his favorite color is blue so I thought I had hit the jack pot). But he was disappointed because the shirt wasn't black. I was then informed that he would need a black dress shirt, black tie, black pants and very nice black shoes. Never in my life did I think one of my boys would actually <i>WANT</i> to dress like this. When most mothers are bribing their children to get into something like this for a wedding or special occasion mine wants it for everyday. And everyday is exactly what he means. I asked him when he would wear something like this, to church? He replied very matter-of-factly , "Well... every day mom." I looked at him with a smile and gave him a big hug and said, "I love you so much Dallas. You are oh so special!" </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The picture below got him so excited! He said, "That's it mom!!! Have them send it to us!!" Of course it's a boys Perris Ellis suit, my boy has good taste he does. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">His wife is going to love his fashion sense. I know I do. When in doubt of an outfit I always ask Dallas and he's sure to tell me exactly what he thinks of it while Boston and Asher look at me like I have three heads. </div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I love my sweet, fashion forward Dallas!!</div>Crickethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13582897852620740030noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711597226608768289.post-29332380460999380972012-02-14T08:20:00.000-05:002012-02-14T08:20:50.174-05:00Happy Valentine's Day 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Happy Valentine's Day from my crew to yours. Today Dallas is the only one that was well enough to get to go to school and party with all the other valentine's. Boston came home from school yesterday with a fever and then started throwing up. Oh boy. I hope this isn't another illness we are all getting ready to share. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So these are the valentine's we did this year.

As I'm writing this my two littlest kiddos are sleeping away their flu symptoms while I'm nursing my cough and raspy voice (think Phoebe from Friends). As much as I hate the flu shot I am seriously thinking about getting it next year after having battled the flu TWICE this season. It's really getting old. Hummm....might be something to do with my going 100 mph without looking back all the time. Maybe this is God's way of slowing me down a bit. I have to admit I have enjoyed all the cuddling I've gotten with Asher and Sydney over the last few days. And I do appreciate how wonderful it is to be able to breath out of my nose! <br />

My sweet little princess birthday was Saturday but since she was so sick we did not do anything. We didn't want to expose anyone else. We gave her this sweet little doll baby (called the Zippity Princess made by Goldberger that teaches them how to snap, zip, button, etc) and we will just have to celebrate in a big way when she is feeling better. (And I'll do a little 2 year old photo session with her later.)<br />

Taking place at EPCOT at the Italy pavilion with beautiful weather and a super cute couple this was bound to a special wedding. The ceremony itself was very unique because the song she walked down the aisle to was written and played by the groom himself. The ceremony was intermixed with lots of personal stories and vows that were as unique as this couple was. </span><br />

The end of last year went by with with hurricane speed and in the midst I did more weddings and portrait sessions than I can count, had a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">bday</span> party for my now 7 year old, celebrated Christmas and moved our family of 6 after 9 1/2 years in our sweet little home. It was mind blowing all that went on and I'm so glad to have made it to January! It's like the storm faded and I've picked up all the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">debris</span> and life is calm (well as much calm as it can be with 4 little ones) and orderly. <br /><br />About our move....it was done after much, much, much prayer. Honestly I never thought we would move from our little ole house. As small and cramped as it was, it was home. We closed on that house the same week we found out I was pregnant with Boston. We brought 4 children home in that house. We celebrated many birthdays and holidays there. The kids moved from room to room as we added and added and added. There are dents in the walls from all the playing, artists left their drawings behind on the hallway walls and the memories flood each room. <br /><br />But it was time. <br /><br />God worked quickly and easily and it was very evident He had His hand on the whole thing. And now, even though we haven't been in our new house long at all it already feels like HOME! Home with MUCH MUCH MUCH more space. There is a place for everything and everything is in it's place. I LOVE it! I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">sooooo</span> love it. (And the 3 minutes drive to school is way better than the old 20 min one!) <br /><br />2012 is shaping up to be new and exciting!Crickethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13582897852620740030noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-711597226608768289.post-64938799364979304282011-09-06T10:08:00.002-04:002011-09-06T10:15:34.488-04:00Pumpkin Patch Mini Photo SessionsI'm so excited to announce my Pumpkin Patch Mini Sessions.

Ever since then it has been my kids favorite thing to teeth on and Sydney followed right along like her brothers. It might be messy but it sure is fun!

<br />I had the great honor of getting to do photo shoots for all the families at First Baptist Windermere. It was very fast paced and no time to really pose people and get them into the positions I would have liked or I never would have gotten threw the almost 200 couples in a few hours. But they still turned out great and I'm excited to share them with all the families.

<br />I wanted to share a game with you that we love at our house. It's called Hyper Dash. Not only is it a super fun game for the kids but they can play it by themselves or with others, it makes them active as they run around, and it helps learn colors and numbers. In the picture above I had Asher put them all close together but usually they spread them across the room and chase down the one they need to touch. We have had this game for many years and it never gets old.

<br /><div>Wow life is moving so fast for me right now that it all seems to be such a big blur at moments. People often ask me how in the world I have time to do a blog with everything else going on in my life and the answer is very simple. If I don't make time to do it I feel like life is quickly slipping threw my fingers like sand. And once the sand has fallen there is no way to remember the grains I was just holding onto. Once I have put something into writing it just feels more like it really happened and I'm not as worried I might forget it. Especially now since it feels more and more like I'm losing brain cells with each night of homework. (It's sometimes hard to believe I was once very good at Calculus and took AP classes in high school.)

<br /><div>I saw a notebook at Target that had the cover above. I had to take a picture of it because it summed up my writing in a way I had never really thought about before. "We write to taste life twice." Ahhh....it's so sweet. And here I have been running a race with school starting, new therapies and diagnosis with the kids, my photography business, starting to shoot for Disney, 4 kids (really that one alone is enough). </div>

But if I don't the tension builds in me. I can feel the stress strangling me. I worry about losing moments, forgetting the little things the kids do. And then I realize that it's been several days since I've written and recorded the amazing moments in my life. I'm so blessed with so much. </div>

<br /><div>I do hope that my crazy rambling helps you in some way. If you aren't recording your daily moments I really encourage you to do so. If it's only a few sentences each day. You will cherish them in the future. </div>

<br /><p>He somehow got some kind of serious infection in his back and had to have back surgery to get all the infection out of his back. Poor guy! And they still don't even know what he got and how he got it. He has been in so much pain we are just hoping he gets better soon!

How exciting! I drove in for the interview and was excited when they offered me the job. So today was my first day headed out to get some training on shooting at Disney. It was such a crazy day running around all morningin getting everyone dropped off before heading over! I finally ended up at Disney around 10 after dropping all the boys off and Sydney with my mother in law. I met the team out at the hotel they were shooting at and jumped in. I was a little disoriented on a Canon instead of my Nikon and realized it will take me some getting used to. It also couldn't have been a more hot day to be outside shooting. But I'm so excited about this new opportunity in my photography carrer!

Not only are the boys going back to school (Boston 3rd grade, Dallas 1st and Asher preschool) but I am going to work as a freelance Photographer for Disney's Creative Event Team.
<br />
<br />Getting pictures this morning was crazy but I was still insistent on doing it. My poor camera was all fogged up and didn't have time to deal with it so the pictures look horrible but at least I have some. (Maybe I'll fake some better ones later if I can talk the boys into it!)
<br />
<br />Here's my big 3rd grader.

<br />He wanted a Pirates of the Caribbean backpack and I couldn't find a new one so he said he wanted to use the one he used in Kindergarten. That was easy and cheap for me. But he did ask for the lunch box he has been seeing advertised on TV called so I splurged and got him that.

And I'm super excited his little friend Jack from church is in his class as well since all but 1 of the kids in his 3 year old class are in other classes. </div>

<br />Not a great pic because these were all iphone pics and this one didn't have a lot of light. But I wanted to capture them on the Jimmy Neutron ride since it will be closing soon.

I was so sad to see it end. The older the kids get the more fun things they are able to do at the beach and it's just so fun to watch them explore and enjoy the beach.
<br />
<br />We met an awesome new friend and her 3 kids and all 7 of the kids got along so well that we did most everything with them. Below is a picture of everyone except Sydney.

<br />Us adults on the other hand had a beautiful dinner at Oceanside on Flagler Ave complete with cocktails. We saw dolphins and a manatee and enjoyed some fun adult conversation. And I'm so happy to have made a new lifelong friend!

<br />
<br />
<br /><div>Lots of wind today at the beach which kept things a little on the chilly side after you were wet. But that didn't stop us from lots of fun. And the kids have met some great new friends...and a bonus is that their mom and I have hit it off. It's always fun with more friends on vacation!
<br />
<br />I had a great idea for a picture with a frame on the beach. Dallas was my only child willing to entertain mom's creative juices. And he did such a great job posing for me....at least for the 10 seconds that he did and I was able to quickly catch this shot!
<br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 800px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 532px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639958653506778834" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgc-Obyh6I6rHDSfxfBVtTQoK7uwGBazfk5ah79q9cMBSfm10P7IYmTzFuLWB_1GgnA6EP6iAqdSfDVu92h90di7jzNiN3zymKT9PTxKdxyz6llJBAnp_2M8sOWATOYwktnba1ew-EiQIeR/s800/beach4+091-2.jpg" />

Sean's idea was to take the kids for a walk to find some shells. Of course I saw an opportunity to bring my camera down to the beach.

<br />
<br />
<br /><div>My goal was to capture a shot of the kids all together. I take pictures of families all the time and find it so easy to get the kids to cooperate with me. Of course like all professional photographers know....photographing your own kids is TOTALLY different. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br /><div>So...here's the best shot I could get. The boys wanted to pretend they were lifeguards looking out. At least they weren't pushing each other off the stand! And Sydney was having too much fun to stop and look at me.

<br /><div>Asher was very busy building things with the sand, digging holes and filling them with water and running around in and out of the water. Next year he will probably be out there boogie boarding and jumping waves, but for now Mama loves watching her busy little boy running around in the sand.

She now talks everywhere. I think in a week or so she will be running to keep up with her big brothers.

<br /><div>Sydney really loves the beach and everything on it. She loves the sand and enjoys touching the water and having it splash up on her. Its such a joy to watch her excitement and giggles at all these new adventures for her. <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 532px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 800px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639041264120889490" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjInO_quckrafq2FnJzUf4q03iomIdl9_CiMg_7WYcjFIPuLP4VCPYOvdNOgrMotV0r2gE9_k11aE98ZUdxZHCgQ3-4GP4eBbOcEtWPwDEAN1DG0YXtYFHLoi__TxzT7UyI66wU_y10uLXF/s800/beachday1+068.jpg" /> Little feet in the sand has to be one of the cutest things on the beach

I didn't put her or I in our swim sutis because I wasn't thinking she would want to get wet.
