So I read on one of my good friends blogs about taking photos in weird places. Well I had an idea. The lighting in my bathroom is great mid day so I stuck my boys in my tub and took some photos, I don't think they turned out so bad.
More of our summer adventures to come!
As I write this post I have a mixture of feelings.
After a little over 6 years for working for QuicKutz I was laid off my job. QuicKutz has struggled financially for a long time and with QuicKutz being purchased it should hopefully lead to the QuicKutz Inc and the Lifestyle Crafts brands surviving.
The last few days has been hard for me. I have lost a good part of what I do in my day to day life. I will really miss the company, the people, the market, stressful times, and the travel. I wish the best for everyone still there that will still need to weather the upcoming storms with an aquistion process.
I have gained some of the very best of friends from working at QuicKutz and the things I learned there come unmatched to anything I have ever done in my life.
For now, I plan to take the boys to the summer movie every Thursday, to the pool, the park, the zoo, and practice some photography on them. So if you are board and need to get out, I probably need to as well so give me a ring and lets play!
I do plan to try to find another job oppurtunity so if you hear of anyone that needs a marketing, trade show, event type person have them give me a call.
My boys are crazy, funny, exciting, loud, kind, full of life and loving! I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world!
Logan has gotten really funny lately. The words he says with the expressions he gives makes for a fun day with him.
Sweet Carter is growing so quickly. At 7 weeks he is about 12 pounds and eating like crazy! He has a calm and kind demeanor unless he is hungry or tired.
I love these monsters and cant wait for the many fun and exhausting adventures with them.
Logan's current smile, when you ask him to smile you get this!
Right after I took this photo I asked Logan to give baby Carter another kiss, a loss of balance ended up with Carter being kicked in the head and Logan worried and sad for Carter. I went back to work when Carter was 2 weeks old. For the fact that we had a major trade show to pull off and we still had a ton to do! I am lucky enough to have a work environment where I was able to take Carter along with me.
When Carter was 5 weeks I left him and Logan to play with Dad while I was working in New York. I was a bit nervous about how everyone would fare with me being away. This is why I am so lucky. I came home to a boy who missed me, a baby that looked a good two pounds bigger, a happy husband and a clean house.
Most husbands and dads wouldn't put up with taking care of a 5 week old and a two year old. Through the week away I got texts from neighbors and friends updating me on the daily walks Trent would take with the boys, the going to church adventure and letting me know how lucky I am to have Trent as an awesome husband and dad!
I love him even more for loving my sweet boys the way he does.
Carter is one month today! It has been so fun to have him in our home. He is such a laid back easy going baby. We are so lucky to have this sweet spirit in our home. Other than the lack of sleep he is sleeping great and eating like a horse!
I am so glad that Logan loves him. Today we were eating breakfast and Logan decided to share a Chex with him. I was lucky that he just put it on his blanket instead of his mouth.
What happens when you leave your two year old alone...THIS!
I walked into my bedroom from feeding Carter downstairs to find that Logan had stripped everything off my bed, brought his own bedding into my room and managed to find a pack of gum in Trent's nightstand. He ate the entire pack, I think there were only 2 pieces that had been eaten from it before Logan got his hands on it.
Today Carter is two weeks old! It is amazing how time goes by so quickly, yet it seems like he has been part of our family for a while now.
I had one of my dear friends Heather take Carters two week photos and I am so excited about how they turned out! Heather did a great job of making the shoot really laid back and she has awesome pricing! I will be using her for our family photos once I loose about 30 pounds and Carter gets a bit bigger.
Be sure to check out her new photography business.
I love this shot! I will probably use this for my baby announcements.
