Funny things kids say

I haven't blogged in a while and need to write down some funny things Kaeley has been saying. When Kaeley is trying to be funny or make someone laugh she will say "Im teasing her up" It's so funny to hear her say it. If she wants something she will say "mom come listen to my ear". And she will bearly whisper. Usually she wants a cookie or a piece of candy. It's so cute the little things that they come up with. Im excited for Thanksgiving, I am having it at my house again. I enjoy making the turkey etc. I cant believe Christmas is just a around the corner. I wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas. Thank you also for your love and supporting me while I start my photography. It means the world to me. Shawna

Will things ever slow down

Hello,

As you can tell, I have been so busy lately I havent had time to blog. The first week in Sept we went to Adventure Land with our friends and stayed in their new camper. We had a great time. This was Kaeleys first time at Adventure Land and she loved it. She went on every ride she could. Actually she could go on alot if she went with a adult. Jamie and I love all the rides, I guess she gets it from us. That afternoon she out of the blue got very sick, with a high fever, and shortness of breath. Then she started vomitted so the next day and ride home was interesting to say the least. Jamie and I are in our best friends wedding this weekend. So we have been busy with bridal showers and decorating etc. It should be fun.

Kaeley is loving school. She is growing like a weed. Here a few new pictures I have taken.

Busy Times

Things have been crazy at our household. We have had alot going on. Last weekend we went to Adventure land with some friends from church and stayed in their camper. We had a great time. Kaeley ended up sick, which wasnt fun, but she is better now. It didn't stop her from experiecing Adventure Land. It was her first time ever at a admusement park. She loved it and rode on everything she could. She had her arms in the air on about every ride. So we will have to make this a yearly thing now.

This weekend I threw a bridal shower for a friend of mine. Jamie and I are in the wedding Oct 4th. Anyways beside that, things are good just very busy. I have been trying to figure out and play with my new photo software, here are few pictures I have played around with.

A weekend Full of Birthdays

Well things have been busy this past week. Getting into the groove of preschool now. Kaeleys loves going and has so much fun. On Sat we had 2 birthdays to go to. My niece Gracie turned 3 this year. She is into dress up and received about 15 new dress up outfits. She is ALL GIRL. She just got her ears pierced and loves to dress up 24-7 and wears the outfits all day long. I attached some pictures of her birthday. She had a fairy outfit with wings etc. To cute. Then it was our pastors and associate pastors birthdays. We had a surprise party for them in Mt. Pleasant. There were tons of people and we had all made signs with one side saying stuff about our pastor who was turning 50 and the other side was for our other pastor who was turning 40. Their family tricked them into driving by where we are were, we looked like a bunch of protesters. It was great they were so surprised and we had a great time of fellowship.

A day at the park with friends

The girls had a blast getting each other wet.

Best of Friends

Today

we spent some time at the park with some friends. Megan, Addy, and Sammy. Megan is one of my best friends, we meet while pregnant and became good friends. Our girls were born 3 weeks apart. She is a awesome person and Im so blessed to have her in my life. Kaeley and Addy are best buds. Here are some pictures I took of our day.

Ist Day of 4 year old preschool

Boy the time sure flys. I cant believe the summer is coming to a end. Where did it go? Kaeley started her first day of 4 year old preschool. She loves it, and was so excited to go this year, last year was a different story. This year she goes to school on Mon, Wed, Fri. Since Im off on Tue's I dont get to take her or pick her up and this really bothered me, I felt so left out, so I rescheduled my dressing changes that I do on Wed to work around her school schedule so I take a early lunch and go get her. I just love to hear those words "mommy", and come running with open arms. This year should be fun for her, she already knows her teachers and most of the kids.

The sweetest husband in the world

I have to tell you all, I have some good news. In case you dont know me to well, I have always dreamed of being a photographer. Anyways, Jamie my husband always tells me to follow my dreams, but somewhere in the mix I doubt myself etc. I have being looking for some photo software to do editing etc, Jamie called all over and got a bunch of infomation. There is one software that is awesome, it does all kinds of things, but it is a hard program to learn and it is very detailed. Anyways they say it is the best out there and professionals use it. I got home on Wed and there was a bag on the table with a sweet note from him saying that he had a gift from him and me. That he knew how passionate I am about taking pictures and have such a drive to learn more and do something with it. He got me that software which is expensive 650.00 and a reference book to go along with it. He also said he would get me lighting and backdrops and the things I need. He could of never done this, but he happened to get a extra commission check from a sale that him and his dad got, and he spent it on me. He is so excited and so supportive. I will upload pictures I take etc and I would love your comments. My goal is to get everything I need and learn this program and start taking pictures on the side. I need to come up with a name. I feel like God has blessed me with this opportunity and I need to run with it. First off its a dream of mine, and second the money that Jamie got was unexpected and enough to get some of things I need, and I feel such a joy and happiness that I haven't felt in a long time, it has taken the stress of getting pregnant away, I feel like I have a new focus and God will take care of the rest concerning another baby etc. Also we want to send Kaeley to the Christian school but with the expenses we don't know for sure if we could, but I feel like it could happen now, if I can start doing this on the side. Wish me luck and give me your opinions please.

Girl night event

This month it was my event. We hung out and ate alot. Then we did dance revolution. It was funny. Here are some pictures. After we danced our hearts out we went outside on the patio and had a fire and watched Hairspray. It was a fun and relaxing night.

Fun at the park

Kaeley and I went to the park to hang out.. We went down on the trails and watched the fountain. Kaeley was thirsty so as you can see she got her dress all wet and had to take it off and go in her underwear. She had some much fun running around just in her underwear, if it was up to her she would be naked all the time. You can tell she was a summer baby. She hates socks and winter cloths, I dread this battle when it get cold out.

I love taking Pictures.

This is at Carpo Park
