Yes Sir!!! And guess what?? I decided to scrap someone else other then MY child!! Wow... I have been wanting to scrap some pictures of my nephews for a while and since Afton has not forwarded any pictures to me to date I will just use the pictures that I have. You have seen these pictures before but now they are scrapped.. I have a lot of digital pages to get printed off and I plan on getting to my Project 365 pretty soon too. So it looks like I need to pick up a special shift just to get my pages printed off haha. Anyways... I am tired as you can see from my rambling. So here they are.. I am thinking cute enough to get framed and put on the walls of their bedrooms!! Afton SEND ME PICTURES and you might get a whole scrapbook one day!!! Anyways thanks for looking...

MY 100th Post!!!

Ok... so the first project that I tried did not go very well BUT BUT BUT I am going to try a new one called Project 365!!! This consist taking a picture everyday (yes Everyday)... And then scraping them each week... I am going to digitally scrap these cause it will be easy and then I plan on printing them off at Shutterfly (little expensive $54), Snapfish, or another solution that I can find that is a little cheaper!! I might just print them off monthly to spread the cost over the year! I will have to see!!! I figure this is a great time to start this things are settling down here with Jaemen not be an infant and all. Actually not sure why I just said that!! He is walking and all over the place. haha but he is learning soo much these days. Anyways.... I will be posting here a lot if I can keep up with this. I am looking into a site to hold all the pictures and to feature them here on the blog.. it might be flickr or something like that I havent quite found what I am looking for yet. Oh and it isnt always going to be of jaemen yes it might be of random things in our lives to document it. (so that means yes dad maybe of FOOD) And like todays I am documenting Sherrow and I's very quite New years eve. We spent it together, Jaemen was knocked out by 10 and we played cards and Dominoes.

So wish me luck with this journey and yes some might be thinking that I am crazy but hey I am going to try...

Oh and I had the twins on New years Eve day and have some pictures to show.. My little boy is just the sweetest thing SOMETIMES... when he isnt yanking out the twins pacifers and he doesnt do it nicely... he does love giving kisses though..

Ok we wont let them do it for to much longer I know they are boys but it is soo cute right now!! and when they are at each others throats later I will show them these!!!

Ok Lets see how I do.... Oh and if the going gets tough I will be happy with 5 out of 7!!! But that can only happen when back in school which starts on Monday yuck!! LAST hard Semester YES!!! Since I did past all classes and GOT ALL B'S!! yeah!!

Update...

Soo I have been told that I am slacking on the whole picture thing!!! Sorry :( I will get on top of that but I am pretty sure I am just slacking on the posting thing I do have pictures of him just not putting them on here! Can you believe he is going to be 9 months in 5 days??? My baby is growing so fast!!! He got to do his first of many trick or treating!!! I know it is a little early but his grandma has many chances to do trick or treating and this one was not the time to do it since the temperature was 90 degrees and the kids were all sweating or not even wearing their costumes. Jaemen got his first sucker and was very content the rest of the time....

and sucked on that with the wrapper on for quite some time... We also took the twins around but they were among the children that could not wear their costumes because they were to hot!!!

We were almost done with the little loops that we were going around and all of sudden I say trick or treat and look down to see this... (all the excitment he couldnt hold on any longer)

I hope that helps with the picture withdrawl!! hehe... My birthday is on Friday. WOW!! I will be 23 that is crazy I am getting old. I am also going back to school on wednesday and this is going to be a very hard semester not a lot of classes but a large load of labs!!! That is what takes forever!! Not to much esle is going on in this household. We are still getting the house together and getting comfy but it is just about there. Tomorrow I am finally getting my picture frames up and then I will be happy!!

I have also gotten some scrapping done which I am proud of...

`This one isnt quite finished I need a white marker to write all of his milestones but you get the picture...This is a card for my grandparents 60th anniversary!!!

Thanks for looking!!!

I know, I Know...

I have been neglecting this blog but not to much is going on around here it is pretty much the same thing everyday. Work, sleep, play with baby... work, sleep, spend time with baby... I have though chopped all of my hair off as you can see in the picture of me and Jaemen messing around with the camera!! I love to see what kind of face Jaemen gives the camera when it goes off!! Next big news is Jaemen has finally cut his next tooth!! It has been what like 4 months since he got his first two teeth... This time it is only one top tooth! I am soo happy for him though they are so so swollen up there but of course we have had a little bit more fussier baby along with him waking up day and determined to crawl. He doesnt quite have it yet but the boy just wants to dive head first to the floor and then screams casue he has hit his head!! Oh and if he doesnt do that he screams after like 2 mintues because he doesnt either get what he dove for or he just cant stand his belly!! ( not to interupt my whole blog but Miss USA just fell on stage going for miss Universe dont think that is going to happen now) Anyways... I am pretty sure that is all that has happened this week! Have finally picked what pictures are going to go in the picture frames my most wonderful aunt Joyce got me!! For right now they will go on the two walls surrounding the TV which is the main focal point of the room it is what you see when you walk in... I love it!!
I am finally going to have my photography up on my own walls!! Well at least two of them right now I need one more just have two many pictures to pick from but I am pretty sure I know which one...


Those are the two for sure and this one might be the third one.... I think this is him soo much right now... I want to do all of his newborn pics but just dont have ones that are working out !!! it is either that or one of his feet!! Help... I just want them to be cohesive not just random pictures... so what do you think???



I still do owe you guys a sneak peak at some of the sessions I had two weeks ago.. So here you go!! I will first start with my nephews...

Then here is the shoot of my cousins baby's baptism pics and pictures of my goddaughter his sister!!

Well I think that is about all for right now!! I swear that I will post more and I will post the frames up on the walls (so you can see aunt joyce)!!!

5 Months!!

Yes!! Our little one is 5 months old. Only one month from 6 months WoW!!! He is now liking his tummy a lot more which you will see in his 5 month pictures that I should get done here in the next day or two!! Started today but he bumped his little head and was through with all of that!! He is eating a full 8 oz bottle every 3 hours about!! Reaching for everything and almost holding his bottle. Smiles at everyone and is following our voices extremely well, including answering to his name well also. He is almost sitting by himself, he just gets to excited and throws himself backwards (what happened today). He isnt to bad side to side just a little help needed there. And he is officially in 6-9 month clothing at least his pants. Even though when we get our beautiful weather back he can still have the 3-6 month shorts and shirts because they don't depend on length. But we definetly need new pjs. I want to get him these oh so cute ones, but really I want all stripped ones and they have to be light for the summer. ooHHH i want these too!! On to ebay for Karidan!! Oh and he has two bottom teeth!! Can't forget those they are soo cute!!

Anyways... I finally got Afton's Birth Announcements done, like I knew I would once I got done with school. They turned out real good, can't wait to see how they look on paper. I did some for Kristen but she hasn't SENT one back yet!! BRAT!! Sorry... But yeah I am going to get those out to everyone that didnt get to come to a shower in the next week so be looking for those!! Here is what the front looks like...

I still have to finish up there pictures here soon. I also have to get over them and see them real soon. I wish Jaemen could meet them but we are going to wait on that we don't need germs getting switched between them. Maybe a little on Mothers Day they can meet!! Not much else to share I will get his 5 month pictures posted here real soon!!! They are going to be BRIGHT heheh!! Something to look forward to!!

Karidan and Jaemen!!

p.s I dont know if you guys that read this threw email can get the links that I post. But when I say I want something or the word is underlined it is a link to what I am talking about!! You might have to visit the actual blog to get the links!!

Long over Due Pictures....

Here are some pictures I finally got edited tonight. Not all of them but it was a good start. I took these like almost two weeks ago and have been so busy I havent gotten to them. I was thinking about them tonight and hoping that they get better soon and wish I could go see them. But I dont want to bring the sickies home with JJ all ready sick!! He has a doctor appt tomorrow by the way so wish us luck with that!! Anyways... Here are my favorites so far. Oh and I had to put my copyright on them so that no one possibly looking at this could print pictures off these are my good pictures. (since you can print them off from that Google Picsa) Regular Candids of Jaemen and anyone esle wont have that so you can print them off but not my good pictures. And if you do want them (family members or aftons friends) she will be putting in a large order later when they get a little larger and we can get a few more and you can tell me or her and I will order them at that point. Let me know what pictures you want and what size and I can get it for you!! I will get back to you with prices for everything. I almost have my website up with all prices and everything!! Done talking now I have to get to bed. Eight o clock class!!!

Time Flies!!!

Wow where has the last 4 months gone? I am pretty sure they went with all the sleep I have lost hehe... But I love it!!! Yes Jaemen today is 4 months old. I cant even believe it but like I said I am loving it!! We are finally getting adjusted I think. It is getting easier to get him out the door and be on time somewhere (unless he wants to sleep for 3 hours for his nap and we need him up in 2 hehe). We have come to find out that we dont think he likes green beans but loves sweet potatoes!! I am going to try one more time tonight for him to get the green beans down! We have squash and then peas to try also so we have to move on hehe!!
<<~~~ This is Jaemen on Easter with his first try at Mashed potatoes!! I dont know if he liked them or not I think he did though!! All I have left is a picture of the family on Easter. Jaemen was looking pretty cute and I am upset I didnt get any pictures but I have to do his 4 month/Spring pictures here real soon they are going to be soo cute I hope!! I have a surprize prop for him!! So I have been pretty busy this week. I had to go and get fitted for one of my best girlfriends wedding. Her wedding dress was sooo beautiful!! The wedding isnt for another year but her and I have been through a lot. We met through ex boyfriends and that is the only good thing that came out of that boyfriend. Sarah I love you and I cant wait for the day!! I got great pictures of her little one that is just starting to walk. I havent been able to get pictures of little Bella since she has been a week old. Shame on me!! So her is a picture of her dress and the little one.

And then today I got over to my sisters house to get the twins first pictures. They really werent that cooperative!! They are still just sooo small and they wanted to poke their brother in the eye or kick him!! So no pictures together but soon I am going back this week I hope to do some more and figure out a different way to but them together!!! I have a lot of favorites but here are my most favorites and hopefully I didnt get them mixed up!

Isnt this the most adorable thing

All of these are David above!! ^^ Dylan wasnt very cooperative so we will have to try again he is below though

MMMmmmmmMMMmmm GOOD...

He LOVE IT!!! I knew he would too... Everyone kept telling me that it takes forever for babies to adapt to food but NOPE not my boy! He got that first bite in there, swirled his little tongue around and then started going to town on it!! He ended up eatling like a half jar of Sweet Potatoes and some cereal, I was like whoa!! I am going to have a fat baby on my hands soon!! hehehe... he fell right to sleep after that and we will see if that holds him over for longer then a bottle. Oh I also gave him like 4 oz of a bottle and then he stopped so he was good and full!! I was upset though because I left my camera at Sherrows moms house and so you know that I had to use my STUPID camera. And that made me for sure put it on ebay tomorrow when I get my other camera to take pictures of it!! Just a short post though tonight since it is like 1130!! But I do have a lot of pictures though... I have some from tonight and some of my Nephews!!!

My Nephews.... Look at how small they are!!! I swear I will get better pictures of them. That NICU is horrible lighting and they are so sensitive!!
