Obama is cheating on Michelle

with Desmina (or so she thinks)
she is on her play phone. I tell her to go potty.
"I'm talking to my boyfriend."
"Go potty."
"Well fine, hold the phone. Here talk to him."
"What's his name?"
"Obama."

She still has her tiny crush.

Watch out for gas prices

my PA for the week


Crazy, huh! I would have never thought to check. I pay everything with credit card too!

Friends Along the Way

To help ease the drive to Texas, Fred agreed to meet up with all my online friends. We had a wonderful time! First day we met the Heathen moms and two other moms from my birth group.






So many mamas! I wished that we had more time to hang out! Zack is such a sweet boy. He can totally woo you with those eyes! Cathy is just as dynamic in real life as she is on PO. Shelly is really sweet and totally cool! I know it sounds weird, but her voice is like honey. It was very nice to hear her talk. She has a really cute son too! Heather is so funny and outgoing. She made me feel at ease. It was so easy talking to her. Well it was easy talking to everyone. Stacy was so sweet too! You can tell that she is very family oriented. She is so creative and business oriented! I
The following day, we met up with another mom from my birth group. M just adores the little girl and always talks about her.





Can you blame her? She is freaking adorable!!!!! Brandy was so sweet to drive all the way out to meet us! I really enjoyed talking to her. She has such strength that radiates throughout her.
For the third day, we met up with another fellow heathen. She made us lunch! Yummy!



We met Liz, Reece and Juliana. Julianna is such a petite little sweetie. She is very smart. Bodhi had a great time chasing her around while Mina and Reece played. Reece is very outgoing and active. It was cute hearing him play with words. Very witty. And Liz was very fun to talk to. She is a great cook!
Meeting all my PO friends really helped me ease into moving back to Texas. I'm still adjusting. I'm still overwhelmed by the heat and the lack of scenery. I am trying not to fall into depression. Fred isn't here right now and so it's hard to take care of the kids. I can barely control my emotions how can I handle when I have sprouts of anger?
I hope that once Fred is here for good, I'll feel better and not so stressed all the time. This is indeed the most stressed I have been.

Christmas in July?









No, it's just Santa's Village, the funnest place on Earth. More fun than Disney Land and not as evil.

Photo Challenge Day 6

Posted late again. I was exhausted last night. Bodhi is part rooster and Desmina is part owl.

It's a great snapshot of Bodhi.

I wanted to try to catch all the different colors of Mina. I underexposed it, but this is the best picture of the bunch.

This full sun is hard!

Photo Challenge Day 5



Is the white overblown? I didn't really have time to pose him. He is a quick little fellow.

I probably should have cropped out the grass.

My batteries died last night so I didn't get to upload this one from yesterday.

Photo Challenge Day 4

Trying to capture catchlights.

I did not know that you can look at your histogram outside of RAW.

Thoughts from a toddler

Yesterday we played guitar hero. Of course M could hear us jamming. Why should she go to sleep when there is much fun to be had in the "libing" room.
"Mommy, I'm not tired. I'm untired."

Photo Challenge Day 3


I am trying how to learn to read the histogram. I still can't find my manual either to see which way to adjust it for my lights and shadows.

Please excuse the gritiness of the photos. I have to find a program to be able to change over RAW.

She got rhythm

Look who had her first dance class!



How can I not get videos?

I was teary eyed watching my little girl dance.

Yes, that's my daughter! Head of the class..well at least she got rhythm..she got rhyme!

Photo Challenge Day 1

I decided to attempt a photo challenge for the month of May. I am trying to work on my exposure. Anyone want to do the challenge with me?

Today the kids played with chalk




Feel free to critique and comment; I want to learn.

Love is

cuddling up with your friends

They may have their fights, but they do get along sometimes. And when you do, make sure you snap a picture to remember it by!

Happy Love Thursday!
