28 of Amanda :-)

Ok here we go, I seriously can't believe it's almost midnight! I thought it was only like 10 or so!! I have to admit I love staying up late and working. It almost seems like my mind works better late at night rather than during the day and honestly if Chantry didn't literally HATE me staying up late I'd do it almost every night but being the conservative little wife that I am I don't, at least not too often. ;-)

So here's my 28......
Water! I know I know it's hard to believe but in October I started weight watchers and now I seriously crave bottled water! I very rarely by a diet Pepsi (or other soda) when I go to town and I NEVER buy it for the house! So I have basically switched a three case per every two week diet Pepsi habit into a four case water obsession!!!! And I am sooooo okay with that!!! :-)

Aaaaa, SKIP IT!

So I had an epiphany, I actually have those often so no big deal but this one will affect my blog stalkers (not to be confused with the regular stalkers that are just busy bodies and annoying) I LOVE my blog stalkers!  So here's the deal, with baseball-softball-track season coming up I have come to the realization that it is NOT ever going to slow down!  Honestly I'm ok with that because I know one day my kids will be grown and I'll be wishing like tinkerbell that I had a ballgame or practice to go to but as my kids do get older they get more active and do their thing instead of just what's easy for mom and dad or what the older ones are doing.  With all this being said I've decided to only blog some sessions, not all. :(  I HATE to cut back but I have to realize when I've been licked and admit defeat, being humble is a good thing right? RIGHT!  I refuse to let it take me longer than two weeks to get sessions done and discs in the mail for my clients and I have the HARDEST time turning people away for sessions even when I'm really booked, not that I mind that though because there's nothing better than a photo shoot! I told Chantry just a week or two ago how much I hated getting up early on Saturday mornings but there was nothing better (outside of date nights and family outings) than a photo session!  Naturally I'm not willing to not be at ball practice or games or track meets, that my little friends is not an option! Bottom line I think less pressure in the blogging area will help, at least in my mind it will. ;o) And if it doesn't or if I get to felling like an overachiever I can always blog more. hehe  Now that we got that out of the way let's chat.....


Spring is in the air and I am loving it! This could quite possibly be my very favorite time of year, well spring and summer....oh and fall (football season baby)......oh and I just love the winter and Christmas! Aaaahhh, let's be real I love every season and with each season the changes.  Which, btw, reminds me, I am now a blonde, you know for spring and summer. ;o)  I have been getting some looks with the new do, not all good looks but looks so whatever.  So this year Gracie is playing softball, Gabe is playing machine pitch and Kaleb and Luke are playing together on a midget team, Then we have Holden, Kaleb and Luke all doing track.  I considered taking up a hobby with all the spare time I'll have but decided maybe I'd just sleep instead.  Which reminds me, the time change, well let me just say I love love love the evenings and the extra daylight but do you have any idea as to how stinkin' dark it is at 5:30am?  I mean seriously it's pretty much bedtime dark, I'm sure I'll get used to it and if not maybe I'll switch my treadmill one on one time to evening and redo my whole schedule...whoa! wait....I better put a little more thought into that idea I'm pretty sure that's just the applesauce talking (which is a new addiction for me, that and squash! thankfully they both are 0 ww points)  Well I believe I'm gonna call it a night at this desk since my favorite is looking at me and when I say looking I mean staring at me profusely from the living room while I'm wearing my headphones and can barely hear him but I'm pretty sure he just said I have the same smile as I did 15 years ago, problem is we've been together for 18....mhmmmm ;o) 

Here's a few of some recent work.....
