Yip that’s right! I said it…h-e-double hockey stick…AKA where the hell have I been?
Living life that is where!
My new agenda…live. laugh. love..which has always been something I try to live by…but recently I have been actually {doing} it!
With the passing of my brother that cut his life short by like oh…70 years or so and then another tragic death in the family shortly after his…I am working less and playing harder. because we truly do not know when our time here will come to an end.
Don’t get me wrong, I am still snapping away and capturing moments for clients, I am just learning to choose what needs to be done right now and what can wait for later. So thus the blog has been lacking to say the least. Soooo this means lots and lots to catch up on.
So sit back relax and here. we. gooooooooooooooooooooo
With Em starting school again I will have alot more time on my hands. Lately we have frequent flier miles from Fiesta Texas, Sea World, the park, uncle bob’s pool, the swings, and the everything between.
She is not only starting school but the BIG school. The girl has been in preschool for what seems like FOREVER! Now she gets to go to an actual elementary. She could not be more excited!!! I still can’t believe it. My baby is growing up.

While on the subject of miss EM….
Proud to say that her first spoken word might of been {dada}, BUT her first {written} word was M-O-M!! Super excited about claiming that one. Yippers I was inside watching the food network oh how rachel ray became rachel ray and in comes Em saying momma come look what I did!!!!
To my great surprise our deck was adorn with M-O-M…..I haven’t worked with writing yet…we can read(some) and spell and letter sounds and such but not the writing….she came up with this one on her own…Did I mention the girl is 3 and writing! Crazy!!!
And the girl is swimming! Yay after she decided to make a mad dash into uncle bob’s pool and I made a mad dash after here, fully clothed, while uncle bob was still on his float holding his beverage of choice, I decided it was time to teach her how to swim for real this time. And she did it!!! We are floaty free!!!

I also figured since our villa in Bahrain has a pool, she needed to learn.
In-case you missed that…our villa in {Bahrain}…Yes we are MOVING TO BAHRAIN!!! Whaooo whooo…you never know what life will bring you…It turns out that they decided to let ALL family members return to Bahrain…so we are on a fast track there. Just waiting on orders to come down and off we go…
Sooooo this means if you would like me to photograph you, your baby, your senior, your dog, your whatever, email me ASAP!! I am accepting very limited new commissions.

I headed to see George Lopez with the ever fabulous Deb with DB Images Photography. Friends are great and especially ones that just {get} you. We were talking one day a few months ago before everything changed forever and I was scattered brain as usual. There was a commercial about his comedy show and I just said something about that would be funny. Nothing else and just continued on with the conversation.
Shortly after Scotty’s death, I get an email that says… you can use a laugh. Save the date we are headed to see George Lopez. I mean how awesome is that…She took care of it..Told me when and where and off we went!
It was so freakin funny!! And even better it was LIVE on HBO..I wonder if we were on TV, we sure did look cute…I mean how could you not with the AWESOME tan lines I have from my old lady one piece swimsuit with criss cross apple sauce in the back!
