YUMMMMMMMMM...
STRAWBERRIES!!!!!!
So we went to Bures Berry Patch yesterday, great day for it too, we went in the morning when the sun was still hiding behind some clouds and it was just the right temp and no glaring sun burning our backs! The kids had a blast and can you believe that when we were getting out instructions on how to pick we were TOLD to either put the berry in the bucket or your mouth!!!! Really he should not have told my kids that. Kaleb was the biggest eater, check out the shot below with berry juice running all over, he was covered in sweet juicy strawberry goodness. Then there was Carter who behaved and held out longer than I expected. We made it just less than an hour and ended up with 7 and 1/2 lbs of strawberries, anyone need some???? After cleaning half the flat last night I just don't know what I am going to do with the rest.
I do totally suggest checking this berry patch out if your in the neighborhood, fabulous people and fabulous place.

Summer so far....
Wow can you really believe that we are coming to the end of June already, it seems as if summer has barely begun and you hit that 4th of July mark and it's all down hill from there.
We are having a wonderful summer though, we've been to archery shoots with Daddy, out to the beach - which I have to say was better than I thought it would be, got this fabulous beach chair and I barely have to touch the sand!!!! LOVE IT!!!! Carter really liked the beach too, something about being able to splash a little then dig in the sand really kept him content. And let me tell you it is getting harder each day to keep that little guy happy. He is just too busy all the time. And of course we have had a couple bonfires at Grandpa's so far, smores, need I say more...
Then the biggest news of the summer, Linds got her very own four wheeler! That's K and Carter hanging on it in the last picture. It's really cute and really little, Linds likes it so far and by the time she out grows it Carter will be set to take off on his own. We've been riding a couple times so far and it really is a blast. Jeff joined a "Gun" club, they have 600+ acres and tons of ATV trails, and since most of the members only gun hunt they are not worried about the land getting messed up by all the riding around. We now have a place to ride where Daddy can really have fun and not worry about the deer! Silly life I know!

My Superstar!!!
Well we made it through our dance Recital, not even massive floods could stop this show, although the rain sure tried it's darn'dest. All the girls were wonderful, Linds is part of a great group of little ladies this year and I really hope they are all together again next year. They played so well behind the sceens and I don't recall anyone getting in trouble or any yelling. It made for a wonderful weekend.

So we've had a million and one things happening lately, schools winding down, the weather is finally getting warmer (now if the rain would stop...), Jeff's had some time to play with us. All kinds of good things...
But I just had to give a HUGE shout out to myself and a HUGE thanks to my father. I JUST BOOKED MY FIRST WEDDING SHOOT!!!!! Ok so weddings were not really the thing that I want to do, but the gal is planning a very simple day and was even thinking of not doing photos at all. Didn't want to spend the $$$. I am giving them a super deal, cuz well I am so not at the level of wedding photographer, but it will be fun for me and heck I may meet some people who want portrait sittings. I am really excited and needed/wanted to share with anyone out there!!! And I got my business cards today! Gotta get them in the hands of my promoting pals and get the bookings rolling... I am hoping to do a few seniors over the summer, we'll see how that goes.
