we had a lot of rain last week.
he doesn't look like this anymore…he's bald again.
i am so happy it's campfire season again!
they are inseparable.
we bought a new memory game (again) and annie is really good.
and i was very distracted.
annie bites the lids….
talby lined these up in the jar in rainbow order.
then she got mad when they got messed up…she is an organizer.
we took scott to see an all star game.
he asked me for pen and paper to get this guy's autograph. i didn't have any but i had my camera.
it took scott about five minutes to work up the nerve to ask him for a photo with him.
it was so cute.
craig…who is this guy?
planted in pots.
two boys angry about getting haircuts….
a scene at dinner time taken by talby….
new behavior reward system we are working on…i am pretending i am a teacher. :)
maybe i will have a pizza party when it's full.
ha.
all the pillows are gone from the shop.
they always go so fast.
thank you for that.
the tees i have in the shop are long sleeve.
I know that it's spring and i should have short sleeve….but i didn't want to buy more tees before i sold
the ones i already had.
so that is why.
i haven't lost my mind.
AND
today i finished my photography schedule.
and i put it on my photography blog.
there is a button up top on the left to link to it and it looks like this:
i sent an email to everyone who asked to be on the spring schedule last night.
if you didn't get it…check your spam.
and of course it's possible that i missed someone.
if so…just click the button and find a date that would work for your family.
thanks!
once the dates are full…that's it.
i can't do more than what is there.
there is just no time.
so once they are gone…there will be no more added.
ps…..my workout today was awesome.
i feel like a power house now that i am a "runner". ha ha ha.
i ran and ran and ran.
no more 6 minutes for me.
bring on the 35!
Lou - todays my birthday!!!!!!
anna. - Your cut is SO cute. Uber chic.
Dianne Avery - I’m so happy to see that I’m not the only one who’s daughter kick her butt at the memory game.
Vera - Oh no, I missed pillows! I’ve been stalking you to snag one for that nursery that was inspired by your guest/play/reading room. I love your random pictures!
Katie - I have a big fluffy dog (love the name Waffle BTW) and we shave her in the summer but were getting concerned when her hair began getting matted close to her skin. It turns out that if you shave them too much their hair doesn’t grow back correctly (or something like that). I just wanted to share.
regina - I am curious of your reward system w/the marbles. I am using stickers and my daughter is getting tired of stickers.
Love the hair by the way:)
julia - Dear Santa’s Little Helper,
I love all your pictures. I need to go around places in my world and take some pictures of things that make me happy. That’s what it seems like you do.
Your dog Waffle looks like he has loads of personality. Does he have a brother/sister/cousin in need of a good home?
tara - running is a DRUG. but a good one. you’re awesome.
~Tara
Kacey - Yay on the running! You’re an inspiration.
I love peeking in on your happy and colorful life.
Heather @ Cookie Mondays - Oh my- I started the marble jar yesterday too! How funny! It’s really just for stubborn Chloe’s back-talk. I’m thinking more marbles will be coming OUT than going in for a while. And I did do it when I was a teacher also 🙂
a-m - I love looking at your photographs, they really brighten my day – thanks!
I hit the Gym again today (after four months away and lots of Christmas and Easter chocolate!), I only managed 10 minutes ‘running’ (more like trotting!) on the treadmill (I did do other things, just not much running!). Now you’ve said you’re aiming to do 35 minutes, I’m going to try and get there too. Admittedly, I’ve never ‘run’ for that long in my life ever, so it may take a while!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Kelly Harper - o.k.. girl… stumbled onto your blog and inspired by your beautiful work. Your house, photos, sewing… you are SO talented! Just saw that you are from Wichita. I don’t know why but your name sounds so familiar to me? i, too, grew up in Wichita… went to McCollom Elem. school and then 1 year at hmmm… is it bad, that i totally CANNOT remember the name of the junior high! Moved to Seattle when i was in the 7th grade… didn’t know if you had also grown up in Wichita and we may have been schoolmates…
Totally not meaning for this to sound “stalkerish”!

Barb - Your haircut is so stinkin’ cute! You’ll have to show us Waffle’s new ‘do, too. 😉
Mother Runner - I love you!
…and the boy’s name is Michael. hahahahahaahaha
Jennifer - Will you be selling more pillows soon? My 18 yr. old debated about staying home from school so she could buy one and I debated about staying home from work – Our conscious got the better of us….They are so pretty and we would love to buy one. I know you have a crazy schedule but please make more soon!!!! Have a great week!
kristine - you look GREAT! and i love that you cut their hair! so awesome!
Laura Phelps - that’s my haircut!
and I am growing it out.
but…I kept it for over a year, and loved loved loved it!!!
I think turning 40 has me thinking I need a new do….
easier than losing weight.
rock that new hair sister! You are beautiful.
and more pillows, please….I want Nick to buy me one for mothers day…..
Lisa - Your hair is so cute. All the photos are awesome, but I just kept thinking, “Dang. Such great hair.” Happy Monday.
sarah j - i think the trick to running is alternating between walking and running! make a promise to yourself that you’ll run for a certain amount of time, then allow yourself a little break…and then repeat. you’ll find you can go way father than you thought, simply because mentally you are not running for 35 minutes–you’re running for 4 or 5. little segments.
who knew running was really all mental?
you can DO IT!
Melanie - Nice pictures!
And good for you on the jogging. It hurts my knees. Must be my age….42! LOL!
Bec - I just got done taking a class all about behavior and it’s function and the usefulness of token (reward) systems so if you ever have any questions, let me know! 😉 Or I can lend you the book from my class haha.
chasity - yay for random photos!
love the one with annie and her bff….aren’t they adorable?!
and talby must be a kindred spirit~ love the way she thinks
🙂

I missed the pillows too, I even rolled out of bed at 6am PDT to logon with my iPhone. Guess this west coast girl should have been up earlier. There’s always next time.
Jessica - One Shiny Star - I’m sad I missed the pillows, I guess I’ll have to be quicker next time. 🙁
Angela - Were ya’ll making S’mores with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups? That sounds sooooo yummy. I think I need to go start a campfire right now and try that.:)
