Weekly update

Once again, not a lot of exciting stuff in our household. Last week I went out with the girls to the Royals Girls Night Out. It was a blast! There were 22 of us and we managed to make it through the 150 degree temperature (ha ha)! Really, it was great to see some of my friends I haven't seen in awhile and also I got to meet some new friends! It was awesome! Although next year we are going to make some signs so we can get on the big screen!

My cousins from El Paso, TX are in town - We went shopping yesterday and it was so great to spend some time with them.

This week I have a lot of editing to do - and Bobby has off duty the next few days. He is officially on his days off....but once again - finds other jobs to work so we can be Gazelle Intense (you Dave Ramsey people know what I'm talking about)!!!!!!

We got our house painted this past week as well. We are ALMOST done with the repairs needed from the tornado that hit us back in May. We have one more broken window to replace (it's a special order - that's why it's taking so long).

Ty has been great lately (I shouldn't say that too loudly)! We are trying to find him new shoes for Fall Ball since he quickly outgrew his last ones. We have been to the pool a few times and he plays with his toys while I work on pictures. I am so lucky he is so good while I work - otherwise I would be in big trouble!! I took him to the doctor last week for his 3 year check-up. He is in the 95th % for height and weight. No surprise there! Doc said he looked great and we don't have any more shots til next year.

Hope everyone has a great week! P.S. - Andee - your pics are next....I promise! :)

I love these kids!!!

Tub Time!

Isn't this the cutest little girl ever??!! She had sooooo much personality...I just love her! I think mommy & grandma were worn out by the end of the session - she was definitely a girl on the move!!! Her pictures couldn't have turned out any more perfect!

Rock Stars!

A beautiful family!

Our original plan was to do an outdoor session - but it rained! So we moved indoors and got some awesome stuff! The kids were a riot and mom & dad are so down to earth! It was awesome getting to work with them!

Gotta love Dave Ramsey!

Just wanted to be a dork for a second and tell everyone that if you haven't heard of Dave Ramsey.....you should get to know him! He is a financial expert and has a radio program which airs M-Friday 11:00am til 2:00pm on 710am radio (here in Kansas City). He also has a WONDERFUL book call the Total Money Makeover. Bobby and I have followed his program and we have paid off 2 debts and plan to have our car paid off hopefully by the end of this year (with only ONE other debt remaining to pay off - YEAH!!!). We should be debt free (except for the house) by next summer/fall! What a great feeling!!!! It REALLY works! He also has a website www.daveramsey.com if you want to read more about him. For my police friends....the department is getting ready to do another Financial Peace University. I HIGHLY recommend it! Please check your Daily Informant for details! I promise it will change your life!

Updates from the family

mommy and I!Here I am after I received my trophy!
My bud!
These faces could be famous someday - stay tuned!
A team of rock stars! Go Dodgers!

Ok....so not a whole lot going on with us. We got our deck fixed yesterday (from the tornado damage) and it looks great! We now have to get our house painted and a broken window fixed. Bobby has been working a TON of off-duty lately. Thank goodness that it's the All Star break this week so he isn't working Royals games at all. He did/does have a couple other gigs....but that's about it.

I am working away on pictures. I've had some great sessions lately and I'm loving it! I will be doing the Liberty Fall Festival again this year (at the end of September). So I will be reminding everyone several times about it so you can all come and visit me!!!!

Ty is doing great! Although, I must admit that turning 3 has had it's "trying" moments. Age 2 was waaaaay easier than 3! We've had a lot of "time outs" lately....but hopefully it will teach him the right way to act (especially since Pre-School is just around the corner).

Ty will be playing Fall Ball with his team, the Dodgers. Bobby was asked to help coach his team next year and he is excited about it- and I was also asked to be Team Mom! I'm not sure what that means....but hopefully I will do a good job at whatever I need to do! We just had our end of season t-ball banquet last weekend, complete with a HUGE moon walk and catered BBQ! It was amazing!!!! Our sponsors are fabulous and really love the kids so much. Ty was so excited to get his very FIRST trophy!

There's just something about the belly button....

Kids are so funny when they discover their belly buttons! This little angel was so much fun! It was hilarious watching her get totally soaked from the fountain!

Ahhh....I just love this image!

Tea Party with Teddy Bear

Hmmm....Ty's Prom Date?

Happy Birthday!

Another fun birthday session! Miss Avery is so beautiful! I think she definitly has a sweet tooth!!! Mommy and Grandma were such a blast too! Loved meeting you girls!
