Not sure how much of this can go on.....

And when I say that I'm obviously talking about my steady stream of blog posts.  I'm not sure how much more I can come up with in the writing area and I'm not real sure how much more my blog-stalkers can handle reading!  I wish I could remember all the stories I hear on a daily basis to give my readers a little more laughter in the day but it seems like the older my kids get the more it all just seems so....well what's the word.....so normal.  The things my kids say used to catch me some what off guard and I'd laugh about for days and re-tell the story 14 hundred times but now I guess I'm just getting a little too comfy in the randomness.  That's gonna need to change!  I mean how many people have sons that get in the dryer and start singing, while searching for pj's and how many have daughters who think the boy's baseball number is his age and say they're still "searching for a husband"  Yeah not too many, although all kids say some pretty crazy things!  I know I like hearing stories so if I'd slow down enough to actually listen to mine and take it in a bit more maybe I could share them better.  Especially since I've tried terribly bad to keep "the Mr's" name in the clear.  If he wasn't such a private guy and if he could see the humor in how men are and how women are, I mean seriously folks men and women for real without a doubt  live in separate worlds, at least in their minds they do.  Yes we have a lot in common, for instance me and Chantry both love country music, George Strait, Don Williams, absolutely love it!!! BUT 99% of the time if I turn the radio up to sing along, Chantry's in the mood for some peace and quiet and when he starts jamming it just gives me a headache. I could go on but then I'd be talking about him again and I'm really trying not to!

So let's carry on.  I'm guessing that the "super moon" thingy mc bobber caused a bit of a baby boom, at least for this photog it did! So here are some of the little peanuts that came to see me, and btw if you are expecting and due in July or early August you might want to give me a shout because I have an amazing deal/giveaway I'll be doing. ;)


So we did these and then a week or so later.......

Kennedy is here!!!  Awwwww love him!!!!


And then Blakely came to see me. :)

And then Breanna who loved to stretch!!! lol


And then Mr. Tatum came to see me! :)  He's a little big Packer's fan. hehe

Alright! Blogging while at football camp, how's that for PRODUCTIVE!!! Yea baby! And only 18 more of these and we can all move on to something more interesting! WooHoo! This day is just overflowing with excitement! Lol

My 34 ~Taco Mayo~

Yes seriously. Here's the deal Taco Mayo has always been a favorite of mine. I love Mexican food and prefer a "sit down" place over fast food anyway BUT with five kids just getting to NOT cook works for me. My favorites were taco salad or a chicken burrito supreme. Those have been my favs ever since I can remember. That is until Taco Mayo thought making changes would be a good idea. WORST IDEA EVER!!! So now it's a "create your own" eatery and my newest rant! Here's the deal, those favs of mine, I ate them THERE because I liked the way THEY made them. If I KNEW how to make them and what to put on them then I would do it at home!!! Bottom line; I don't want to "create" my own, I want to order which picture looks the yummiest and then I want YOU to create it!!! All this means that I am now a Taco Bell fan. :-)

33 of Amanda :)

Well I tried staying up to edit but my focus is spent for this day so I finished up the session I was working on and decided it might be a good idea to wrap it up for the night. I thought maybe I could hold my focus long enough to get a quick post in and I thought the quickest post and one that would require the least amount of effort would be one of my pieces. Should be easy enough and since I'm on 33 and need to be at 52 (5 months ago) I reallllly need to step it up!

My 33 ~cupcakes~
I love love LOVE cupcakes!!! HOWEVER I'm very picky about them. Like first of all I like chocolate, not that I don't like vanilla or other kinds but I figure if I'm gonna splurge its gonna be on chocolate. Next my cupcake MUST have whipped icing! Seriously it MUST! And the last detail about my cupcakes is that I only eat the tops....yep the icing part and about an inch of the cake. Sounds dumb but it seriously makes for the perfect mix! :-)

Yep, not happening....

So Jessica sent me a picture earlier and it was of my blog header, my MESSED UP blog header.  I was at football camp and even though I knew it would be a pain to fix I didn't put too much thought into it and just figured I'd take care of it when I got home.  WELL, I've been home for a little more than an hour and let me say, not only is fixing it going to be a pain but I'll basically have to redo my whole slideshow! UGH! So yeah that's not happening, at least not today.  My mind is too set on achieving my summer goals. :o)

Soooo, that means I gotta post post POST!!!  I had intended on posting again last night but as I cozied up in bed with my ipad it didn't take long before I was snoozing, which was probably why I was so awake at 6:30 this morning! lol

Here's some of my recent work of some youngins' lol haha I like that word!  And these "youngins" are no different than all kids in the toddler-ish age, some love pictures and some hate 'em but either way they are fast little whipper snappers! hahaha my vocabulary is soooo rockin' today!




This is Collins and she's my buddy!  I just love the way she says, "Manda" in her little voice!  She just had a birthday and turned the big 2! As you can see the camera LOVES her!!!



This is Audrey and Shia.  Audrey is quite the smiley, you just have to catch her on the run.  And she was having a blast playing on the steps!  And Shia is still too young to run around but I've got a feeling by this time next year Audrey will be posing and he will be running! lol



This is Carter, he just turned 1.  He didn't love the whole cake thing but that's ok, I'm sure in time he's gonna love getting all dirty!  He was so funny scooting in a complete circle while sitting, I just loved his personality.  I got an e-mail from mom with his proof picks and she said he had been a bit under the weather so everyone say a little prayer for this sweetie.  He's doing better now but it never hurts to say a prayer nor can you have too many prayers said for ya. :)



And last but not least, this is Lilly.  She is so adorable and I just love the tongue sticking out at me!  I've got a feeling that in another year she's gonna be a poser too, I think most girls are.  We're just cool like that! ;)
