5 question Friday!

This is my first time participating in 5 question friday! But I think I will try every week...  and I know I have been slacking at the vlogs lately.. but my goal this week is to Vlog :) 

So here are the questions this week...

1. Vow renewal ceremonies-yay or nay?

YES!!  Of course, Since we are having our vows renewed in may 2013..  There are several reasons.  One reason I think they are a good thing, is after so many years.. both people have changed and hopefully grown together, kids families new friends..  and you finally know what you want.. and there is less drama, no real nervousness about the whole thing.. just pure enjoyment and sharing the time with your family and friends.  :) Plus its a great reason to get everyone together, and an excuse for other families to take a vacation and enjoy time with each other also.

Question for you...??... Do you think its ok to have a honeymoon registery for vow renewals?.. since we never got to take a honeymoon the first time we got married?.

2. What sound/s annoy you the most?

Hmm.. tough.  There are lots of sounds that annoy me. I used to have tons of patience,  not so much lately.. I think the most annoying sound is Riley playing his video games next to my head when I am doing something else.. That drives ME CRAZY! and Mike too.  and he almost refuses to turn it down.. or he does a little trick.. when I yell "Turn it down".. he turns it up.. then down.. like I am not going to notice.. Duh.

3. If you had to pick, would you have only all boys, or only all girls for kids?

Oh NO  what a horrible question for me..  If I had to pick I think... I guess I would pick girls. just because I dont have one. Eventhough I know girls are harder then boys. BUT I wouldnt trade my boys for anything they are great! .. I'll have a girl someday :)

4. Do you believe in alternative medicine?

Yes, I think the brain is very powerful.. and so  if you truely believe in alternative medicine. it will work for you :) 

5. Would you take a family member's children and raise them if they needed it?

Of course!  :)  even friends kids, and I would love them like my own.

So Behind!!!

My sister Paige came to visit end of June..  I Love her SOOOOO Much!!   she is the glue of our family.  She reminds us to call each other, and to tell each other how special they are. Dani my other sister is so close.. but yet so far away!  only an hour or so.. & I miss her.. I miss being with them more often. Sisters have a special bond like no other!.  

We had fun when she came.. We went to the Vine for wings,   then Rawhide and got some really cool pictures taken. I have lots of pics to post but will just post this one for now and will update later.

We got to see my aunt D , and cousins Hannah and Jay..  and my godmother Rose ,. It was perfect,. it felt like Home..  to be around family, smile laugh and completely feel free to be 100% yourself is an amazing feeling.   Its different around some of mikes family.. I just dont feel like I can totally be me.. but I think its like that in every family.  and thats ok :) 


then we went to Missouri to see my other family.   Hot Sticky Horrible weather, but it was great to see the people I love, My grandpa is .. sorry honey.. but the most important man in my life, and I was so thankful to see him again.   The whole family got to meet our little turtle, They Adored him!  We played, mike slept..  Next time we visit it will NOT be in the summer.. I know we livel in AZ but Dry heat is SOOO much better, and less exhausting.   This is just a quick posting.. So here are a few quick pics.  :)  

My dad and Turtle..  :) 

My hubby..  Nearly melted the whole vacation. poor thing

My Pa  :) the kids had such a great time with him!

LOOK! Riley playing.. and happy!!  I dont see that allot lately

Turtle drives a Limo

My beautiful  step mom and my brother brandon :)

ok.. yeah thats a Few! We were there for 11 days, so I have hundreds! :)
I feel like these last few months have just flown by!  Riley starts school in a couple of weeks.. Im a bit nervous of how he will do,  but I know when he gets used to it, he will love it.


I'm still not on a schedule.. I feel like I am the Laziest person on the face of the earth! 

I've been.. taking pictures..   studying pictures. I have a boudiour photoshoot coming up in a couple of weeks! I am so excited and think I will do a great job! 

Mike and I are getting Re-Married in May 2013.. So I have been planning that..  (the main reason I havent posted in awhile) So much went wrong with our first wedding, and we have been thru so much, grown up, and changed.. and thru everything we are stronger, and in love.. not only with the good stuff about each other.. but all the flaws too and I am excited to do it again and share it with out kids :)   I know some people think im nuts.. But we are in the part of our life.. when people dont get together anymore..  and honesly people need a reason to visit, and take time out of their life to enjoy  themselves..So mike and I thought this would be a good reason to get everyone together.  :)

......kinda sad......

Its nearly 3 am...

the house is quiet and I have a big day tomorrow.. (or today really)

however I cant sleep, I've tried.. laid there for nearly 2 hours, then decided I should try taking my ipod outside.. maybe the stars would help me relax, and put things in perspective

I learned tonight, that me starting my little..(little) photography business hurt some people that I love  :(  I think I know why, I didnt do it to hurt anyone or take it away from anyone else, It made me think back to other conversations I've had with other people.. who also do photography or other things, and when I or my hubby mentions it, they react snide, roll their eyes and shove me off.. I know that I am not great yet, and that I have allot to learn..... 

Its not like its a new thing for me, I have several photo albums of pictures I have taken, that date back to when I was in 2nd grade.. I'm always the first one with a camera pulled out, ready to document the memories for everyone...  So when I heard that. it made me feel like I was copying people, and thats not what I meant to do.. :(

I started Crazy Daisy Pictures.. because.. Like 85% of my other jobs, I wanted to challenge myself,  I started being a waitress because I was tired of getting bad service, I started police dispatching because we got a Rude dispatcher when we called about a fire, I became a radio DJ because the one I listened to put me to sleep. & I started taking pictures of people, because I hated when I got the pictures back of myself... and I didnt want to use them....  I like "being in other peoples shoes" its challenges me, and helps me be well rounded, and that I hope to pass on to my kids.. Not to say that these pictures were bad, they were great and beautiful, But not of me,(or what I thought) It might have showed my double chin, as it does exist.. but I dont want to see that in family pictures.. and I wanted to make sure that others had that option also. & if I learn to take good pictures of others, maybe I can take good pictures of myself  :)   (it better be soon cause I aint gett'n any younger!) 

I have a Horrible memory, and to be honest, pictures are the only way that gets me to remember things. Its truely my passion, and something I have searched most of my life for.... I was just never really able to do anything more... until my sweet husband gave me the gift of Time... the time to do whatever it is that I wanted to do. be whoever it is that I want to be.. & I heard once on a movie...the first thing you think about when you wake up in the morning... That is what you are suppose to be. & I truely start the day thinking about pictures... all pictures of all things, but I love faces the most...

Most of my life I wanted to be an actress... do I still??.. Yes... someday when my kids are grown, I will do theater again,  and I want to do voiceovers as well..  I think that everyone has so many talents, but its up to them to put them to good use.  There is no point in having a Dream... if your not willing to make it come true. I have learned that. someone's not just going to come up to your door, and hand you a big bag of everything you've ever wanted...I've been waiting for Ed Mcmann for Years!

So, my dream right now is to have this little business of mine, take great pictures that people and families can have the rest of their life, memories.. that they might have forgotten otherwise... someday I hope to make money on it, or at least by christmas! :) 

as always I'll leave you with a few recent pics.. of my silly silly boys.

I think everyone should be a photographer :) There are so many amazing moments that should be photographed..... & So many Beautiful Unique faces

A little behind & something pretty :)

Since I quit my job, I seem to be Blogging Less! which is weird, So I am a little behind on things.
Riley graduated Pre-School!  I am so proud of him! He actually stood up with his friends and sung the songs. He did a great job!  & is growing up to fast!  :( 

I forgot I took this picture for Amy.. As we were flying out of Salt Lake I noticed there was a random mountain in the middle of Nowhere! With a T on it :)  So it made me think of her,  (her last name starts with a T )

Something Pretty :) for twisted fate's photo challenge
Here is a pretty picture I took in Vegas a couple of weeks ago, someday I am going to actually go to Paris and take a picture of the real one.. Someday.. Everytime I look at it.. I feel pretty.. I dont know what it does that.. But it makes me feel.. romantic and pretty, So I am getting it blown up to put on my bedroom wall :)

Turtle Hates baths!!  But I wrestled him into one the other day, and then took a few cute shots of him running around in his little robe that Aunt Tammy got him. Its so cute!  He makes me laugh, he is just the cutest thing!

Took a few pics of Riley playing outside here are my fav's

and took a few of turtle playing outside.. here are my fav's

I love this one! Look at the shadow! :) Its so cute! that hair sticking up, its priceless :) 

I have been trying random things out to make better backgrounds for my photography! But I gave in and just bought an at home photo studio! I am excited! I cant wait to try it out! :) 

Turns out... Turtle.. is a Sea Turtle!! He LOVES to Swim!  which is weird since he hates baths, But as soon as we got into the pool, he started splashing, and trying to jump and kick in the water.
Thank goodness Aunt andrea and Nana Linda got them floating things for the pool!  I wish the pictures were better but I stood pretty far away.. oh well

Together!  This is my favorite, my boys my family .. playing together..

Riley had a blast! eventhough at first he was refusing to go in the water because he wanted to sit inside and play his game instead! He didnt want me to put the sunscreen on him.. So we had a fight.. I won,, he put the sunscreen on and got in the water.. I made empty threats.. but they still seems to work at this point in his life, so.. What the heck! :)   After he got out.. he said  "you were right mommy, I did have a great time!"  I told him.. "Honey, you will soon learn that Mommy is always Right!"  :)

Turtle wearing Rileys old shoes..  he has had shoes on before, but not for long, because he didnt need them. So here are a few pictures of him with his shoes, and taking his first steps in them.. He fell Allot wearing them, but he will get used to them.

I like it how my wedding picture is in the background.. :)   its cute, I dont even have that picture of us! ..  We are getting our Vows renewed in 2 years, Im so excited! :) 

& I leave you all with one of the FIRST Pictures of Turtle..  The day we were bringing him home from the hospital.. It makes me Crack up everytime I see my little vampire baby :)   I dont think he will ever live this picture down. I cant wait to one day show it to his wife :)  and since.. one day he will be President..  I will save it for his campaign too :)
