catch up on thankful posts…

Am I slacking on being thankful?

No way!

I was without my computer for quite some time and now I am back in business.

I had been posting my thankfulness on Facebook since my iPhone could get me through not having a computer.  Thank goodness for smart phones!

That isn't why I am officially thankful today though.   I am going to post what I have been thankful for since the last time I posted...just so you know I'm not slacking.  ;)

Today, day #14.... I am thankful for my awesome friend and sister-in-law, Amy Moord. She is one of the best listeners I know and always makes time to listen to my ranting. I am extremely lucky to have her in my life! ?

Today, day #13, I am thankful for my good friend and co-worker, Cindy Pappert. It's her birthday today. She keeps me sane when work gets crazy and she always listens when life gets crazy. She is one awesome mom and wife and when I grow up, I want to be just like her. ?

 

Day #12 of thankfulness...Today I am thankful for having an awesome person to help me out with Vinny even early in the morning. — with Andrew Syndram.  We aren't the biggest morning people around here.  It is easier for me to get a sitter at home with the luxury of walking out the door without taking my son to a sitter first thing in the morning....making sure he has had enough breakfast, making sure I have everything he needs, making sure we get out the door in time for me to get to work on time, making sure he is happy enough for me to leave him at the sitter without dragging him, crying and clutching my leg - and still making it to work on time.  I can also come home and - voila...I can kick my shoes off and get right into home-type things instead of picking him up at a sitter and taking him home.  It's just easier.  Thanks to Andrew, I am able to do that.

Day #11 of thankfulness...I am more than thankful for Dell support. They got my computer back up and running today. Thanks, Dell!

Day #10 of thankfulness...I am thankful for my little brother Tyler and soon to be sister-in-law Shelly. It's his birthday today and Shelly is more than awesome to me and my kids. They will be married in June, while in itself is wonderful - but it also allows me to see long distance family again and that is an added bonus! ?  *funny thing about this one...since I was without my own computer, I was using my husband's computer...which was wrong with the time by a whole 12 hours.  So, when I was looking at the computer I thought it was the 14th of November, which was wrong, it was the 13th...so happy birthday to my brother a whole day early.  haha!

Day 9 of thankfulness...Today I am beyond thankful for the service men and women who have served our country and for their families that have endured that sacrifice as well. Thank you Jason Patrick Hicov, Jason Hammond, John Scott Jr, Shannon Stineburg, McClain Shewman, Mason Shewman, Joe Cox, Ryan Bowser, Daniel Kerr, Abbie-Hope Snyder-Bassinger, Jordan Palmer...and anyone else out there that I didn't mention...we all thank you.

Day 8 of thankfulness...I know it sounds trivial, but I am thankful that my kitchen cabinets look good in their new color - black. Thanks to Josh :)

Day #7 of thankfulness...Today I am thankful for my cousin Robert and his wife, and my best friend, Kristie. They are more like brother and sister-in-law to me. They give their everything to me unconditionally. I love them so much and I am going to miss them like crazy. One day we will live close and all will be right with the world. :)  I could go on and on about this one.  Have I said I love them??!

Day #6 of Thankfulness....Today I am thankful that my son, with whom I shared a bed last night, finally learned how to make it to the toilet before his dinner came up and out - instead of throwing up all over the bed like he has in the past. Triple thankful!

....Being on vacation makes me slack off in the technology dept., so I am catching up on my thankfulness. Days 3, 4, and 5 of thankfulness goes to Alyssa, my oldest, the one person that has changed me most for the better. Maxwell, my middle child, my other miracle baby we thought we might loose 7 days after being born. My child who is most like me. I am thankful to let them both hang out by sand and sun yesterday.

 

And now I'm caught up :)

Two day I am thankful for….

Today I am thankful for my youngest son.  He stretches me in ways I couldn't imagine.  He is my sweet and sour baby.  He is our second miracle baby in his own right.  I had to have a C section with him and good thing I did.  After the doctor delivered him, she told me that it was good that I had the C section because the umbilical cord was in a true knot - and that meant if I delivered him naturally, he would have died.

He is the perfect mix of not only my husband and I, but his older brother and sister too.  I am leaving him for a week today and it breaks my heart a little.  He gets his own song I sing to him..."sweet baby sweeeeet, sweet sweet baby sweet".

 

 

 

 

WHAT?!!!

Our family wouldn't be complete without The Baby Yo.

30 days of Thankfulness

My friends have inspired me to do the 30 days of Thankfulness, posting each day something I am thankful for.

I love this idea because it is so easy to be negative, especially in these hard times we are living in.  It's refreshing to see the positive side of people's lives.

It's not hard to come up with 30 things I am thankful for.

As a matter of fact, I will start this 30 days with saying:

I am thankful for my husband, Josh.

 

I could fill the whole 30 days with reasons why I am thankful for him.

I am happy to say we will be celebrating our 13th wedding anniversary next month.

We have been through a lot together.  I've known him since I was 15 years old.

That fact alone is very comforting to me.

He has been an ever-changing, yet constant person in my life.

He accepts me for who I am.  Even when I don't.

He is the best father to our children.

Again, I could fill the 30 days with reasons why I am thankful for Josh or I could write pages today, but I will keep it short and sweet because the word thankful doesn't begin to describe how I feel for him.

 

I am overwhelmingly thankful.

Senior Portraits | Fort Wayne Photographer

I can't get enough of senior portraits!  I love everything about them.  I was in those shoes such a long time ago - it doesn't just seem that way, it was a long time ago.  I still remember the anticipation of being done with high school and being able to move on to better things.  I didn't know, before graduation, what was ahead for me.  I guess not many of us know.  I love hearing what the plans an aspirations the seniors have.  And I wish them the best.  Lord knows it isn't easy being that age.

Taelar is an absolute delight.

 

She has so much going for her.

She's smart,

funny,

and a hard worker.

She also has a great family, which really helps.

 

Not to mention....she is super beautiful.

 

 

She has an awesome attitude too.  You can tell a lot about a person from how they treat their mother.  No joke.

 

In a few short weeks it will be Taelar's 18th birthday and in June she will have the world at her feet.

I wish all the best for you, Taelar.  Remember the teachers in school are right, you can be anything you want to be and do anything you want to do.  Best of luck to you!

Family Love | Fort Wayne Photographer

I love how cute this family is.

 

I loved their shirt idea.

 

 

Their family bond was obvious right away.  I love that.

And some people were said to have been in an ornery mood that day....

 

 

The more of that the better.....

that's just my opinion.  :)

 

This sweetheart is loved like crazy.

 

 

 

...how could you not?  Cupcake :)

 

 

Take time to love your family everyday.

 

Time goes by too fast not to.

4 boys + 4 girls = so cute

I've been meaning to give an update on my cuties for some time now.

They decided to pose for me today.

 

We call this big boy - L Twin.  He has a twin (female) that has a mark on the back of her neck that looks like a J...he has the same mark that looks like an L.  L Twin.

 

 

We call this boy, Tank.  Our vet's assistant actually suggested the name as we were trying to keep them separate when they were getting their shots.  I like it.

 

This poor cutie doesn't have a name...I think the less we connect with them, the easier it will be to let them go.  :)

I think he has cute ankle socks on.  :)

 

 

This guy was our first born.  He was the largest for awhile, but not anymore.  He has a white collar around his neck.

 

And the four girls.....

 

Here's Blondie, on the right - obviously.  Isn't she pretty?  She was the only one that was this color.

 

 

Remember L Twin?  This is J Twin.  If you put them side to side, it looks like they have a smiley face across their necks.

 

 

The one in front is Runtee.  She is the Runt, though she is catching up in weight.

 

 

Last, but not least is White Sox. I couldn't get her to hold very still though....so sorry for the blur.  :)  I think I took 15 pictures of her and this one was the best I got!

 

They are all sweet as ever and paper trained - bonus!!

I just hope the weather stays nice so they can run outside as much as they want.

Happy 8 week birthday!

Family fun | Family portrait session Fort Wayne

I love photographing fun loving families.  In the past two weeks I have had the pleasure of getting together with many fun families.

This family is no different.  I can't get over their collective cuteness.  I had a good time and I hope they did too.

 

 

 

 

"Rejoice with your family in the beautiful land of life!"  - Albert Einstein

I miss you already

We had to put our oldest dog, Mattie to sleep on Monday.

I hate it.

She was an English Mastiff and eight years old.  Which is pretty old for a dog of her size. {I tell myself this to make me sleep better at night}

So, yesterday afternoon she had one last romp in the yard.  It was a beautiful day and she seemed glad to be outside.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

{one of the things I hate most of all - my kids in pain}

 

 

and I do believe that is a smile

 

 

 

 

Good bye, sweet Meat.  Words can't describe how much you will be missed.

 

 

Only time will make it better.

my babies – kids & puppies

I can hardly believe we have had our puppies for 5 weeks now.

I wasn't sure what to expect at all before we had them.  Some people said that breeding dogs isn't even worth it because it is so time consuming and hard.

Don't get me wrong, it is time consuming during parts of my day.

I clean poop more than I would like to,

But the reward of just having them around is great.

We have some of them going to family - and that makes it even more rewarding.  I love knowing that we will see them after they are grown - even if only in pictures.

My kids love it too...

My daughter with Blondie.  If I let her keep one, this would be the one.

{I was just happy to get a picture of my daughter without a fight}

 

My youngest refers to the puppies as "the babies".  Another reason I am glad some of the babies are going to family.

 

 

 

 

 

This is a daily scene at our house.

love.

Since we have had such beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful weather the puppies have been hanging outside more.  {which cuts down on the poop cleaning - hooray}

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hopefully you have enjoyed this weekend and the beautiful weather as much as we all have.  :)
