These photos are LOOOONG over due.  I have been meaning to take Harper out just the two of us and get some but it just never happened……..that is until last week.  I loaded him up and went where every little boy wants to be, a huge hay field with plenty of running room and lots of places for dinosaurs to roam about.  He LOVED it.  He took those dinos everywhere and ran around just as happy as could be.

For now Harper is a mamma’s boy, but I have a feeling once the red headed fox gets back home that will all change.  Last week while getting him ready for bed we had this conversation:

Harper: Mamma, I miss daddy.

Me: I miss him too baby.

Harper: Mamma, daddy at work.

Me: Yes baby daddy’s at work.

Harper: Daddy’s at work fighting the Hulk.

Me: Daddy’s fighting the Hulk huh?

Harper: No mamma Daddy IS the Hulk, Daddy is a Superhero.

Now how am I supposed to compete with a Superhero?

I’m pretty sure I have a photo of the red headed fox making this same face….

This is one of my favorites, haha!

At first I was going to throw this one out because I didn’t like that the face wasn’t in full focus, but then I looked at it a little longer and I just love the face he’s making. It’s classic Harper and anyone who really knows him knows that this is all him. Love it!

Here are a few from a mini session I did with Kaylee last week.  My hands are full with this one, she had been asking me to take some photos of her to send to her daddy so that’s what we did.  She picked out her outfit and everything. 

Enjoy!

My mission next week is to get some of Harper.  Wish me luck! haha!

Much Love,

It’s Fix It Friday again over at I Heart Faces! Here’s my quick edits

My Edits

All were done is Photoshop CS and using MCP Actions.  Head on over to I Heart Faces to check out all the other great edits!!

Much Love,

10 things I NEED to do, today preferably:

1. Homework
2. Finish my OPM (one project a month).  I’m pretty excited with the way it’s turning out — photos to come once it’s done!
3. Edit photos
4. Go swimming (more of a want than a need)
5. Finish up some laundry
6. Put said laundry up (that’s the part I hate)
7. Return emails
8. Finish Monthly Wrap Up scrapbook pages for May and June.
9. Check my mail
10. Get a package ready to mail off for the red headed fox

I will leave you with a little peak of a mini session with my sweet baby girl.  More to come of her soon……

Much Love,

The Sweets

• Moving.  I am so happy to be onto this next chapter of our lives.
• Family.  I love having everyone right here all around me.
• My Brodie, Sammie.  I love that little punk more than he will ever know.
• They found the red headed fox’s lost mail!!

The Sours

• Moving.  Although I’m happy to be here, I’m going to miss my family back in South East Texas.
• Not being able to spend Father’s day with the red headed fox or with my dad.
• The Post Office here.  I’m not going to go into details but lets just say a good bit of my mail has been LOST.  Hmmm, first the red headed fox’s mail was lost and now this…..
• Back Spasms = no fun

Much Love,

When I think about my life I always tend to think of it in chapters (I’m pretty sure I’m not alone in this either).  Another chapter of my life has been closed and I am now moving on to the next, this one will be shorter than most but it’s still a chapter.  The little monsters ones and I have relocated to Central Texas for the next 4 months.  Why only 4 months?  In 4 months the red headed fox will be home.  In 4 months our family will be complete again.  In 4 months my babies will be able to kiss and hug their daddy goodnight after he reads them bedtime stories.  In 4 months I will have the love of my life back in my arms and I will feel like I can breathe.  In 4 short months this 3rd deployment will be over and all will feel right again.  What happens after he comes home is another question you may be asking, well we will be headed to Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas.  I admit I wasn’t thrilled at first but it was the only option they gave us that didn’t result in another deployment within a year or so and frankly I don’t want to go through this again so quickly, so El Paso here we come!

I will leave you with a photo of our little deuce, he thinks he’s a superhero when he wears his goggles.  I heart him!

Much Love,

I promise!  Updates are coming soon. 

The Sweets

• Getting almost ALL of my house packed up and put in storage.
• Spending good quality time with my family.
• My sweet sister Samantha for sending me some awesome Chi tea all the way from Alaska.  Sure you can buy Chi here but it is not even close to being the same as this stuff!  Love you Samantha!!

The Sours

• The people in charge of mail in Iraq.  Somehow my husbands MITT team’s mail has been lost.  I wouldn’t be upset if it was just one package that they lost of the red headed fox’s but it’s six.  Including his father’s day gift.  Talk about being bummed.

Now I will leave you with a couple photos from this weekend.  Remember what I was saying about the crazy faces, here’s a few more for ya. 

Much Love,

Is what I need to do.  But with a new round of classes about to start, a couple of beach vacations, moving (yes I said moving, full post on that soon), a handful of sessions and visiting family all coming up very soon it’s hard to wrap my head around how fast this summer is about to go.  So if things get a little slow around here be patient with me.    It’ll pick back up soon I promise.

I’ll leave you with one of my new favorites of Kaylee and I.  This is what we like to do in our spare time, make faces at the camera.  I have tons of these photos

Much Love,
