So the party yesterday for Boone was a huge success..Everyone showed up and actually a few that weren't going to did..Like my mom!! I was alittle nervous to have her over but everything went really well..she just had surgery about two weeks ago but was able to make it..and I really appreciated her putting in the effort..she hadn't seen Boone since he was about 4 months old so..it was long overdue. She is going to try and come over every other weekend or something. Then eventually when I feel comfortable enough we will go visit her. She is doing good so it seems and I am surprised and happy. Boone got tons of toys, I will take some pictures tomorrow..I am dead yesterday wore me out and then I came home and cleaned the house, did the laundry, went and got dinner, then like an idiot stayed up till 1 watching point break lol...then I was back up at 7 am..so right now I SHOULD be taking a nap...so I will edit some pictures tonight from manito get those up and take some ones of his toys and get some birthday pictures up!

Hope everyone had a great weekend..I love the rain but I am over it now..Bring on the SUN!

Good Morning

Well this is the first time I am up before 7 ick..but I better get use to it..my school schedule starting in April is 7:30-8:30 class then go pick up B and come home to watch a little guy the same age as B. Then class online whenever and lastly another class from 6:30-8:30....so I am going to be busy..but it will be good for me to get out of the house...I am going to miss B though I won't get to help with baths at night..hopefully I can get him to stay up a little later and I can be there for when he goes to bed..we will have to see if I can get his schedule to change.

YAY today is the first day of SPRING!!!! YES....not sure if that is suppose to me it will be warm from now on and is required to but hey it's officially spring...meaning beautiful flowers should be out soon...and you better believe I will be out capturing those pictures!

Today it is suppose to be 58 degrees which is warm for what we have had around here so I think Boone and I might go up to manito this time and play...pictures to come later

I LOVE THIS SONG! Just alittle something to get your morning going...he..he..he

Here are some edits...

Keep in mind that this is from an older camera...so I will have some fantastic pictures in a month!! But tell me what you think so far?? would you want my services..I have a certain look to my pictures..but if you think something might look good in Black and White hit me up and tell me...

I love this weather

So little man and I went to the park again today..I needed to get some exercise/sunshine. And I thought boone could burn off some energy...here are some fun pictures I took..more to come when I get done having fun with them ha...ha...ha :)
