Tonight Tim and I are going to see David Gray and Ray LaMontagne at Meadowbrook. Even though I have seen both before, I am super excited because I know how awesome they are live individually, so imagine both in the same venue at the same time! Considering it’s 4:33pm, I really should be getting in the shower and getting ready. I have been a little distracted though watching this very cool and free live broadcast of a wedding workshop by Jasmine Star and creativeLIVE. Just to put me behind a little bit more, I decided that I needed to put together a blog post. I am very guilty of squeezing in as many things as I possibly can in a short amount of time. Yes this sometimes backfires, but very often Tim is in complete shock that I manage to get done what I do, so I am going to stick with it for now. AND, I have been on roll (sorta) with blogging, I have been really trying to make sure I blog at least a couple of times a week.

This past weekend my sister Lauri and her fiance ( & my friend first Ryan came over to go for a bike ride and brought along their new puppy Izze. Half chiuaua, half pomeranian, she is super tiny and super cute. I of course had to grab my camera and do an impromptu little session. Man is she fast! It is not very easy to get a puppy to stay still long enough to frame a good shot, let alone get them in focus. We managed to get a few that I think show her supermodel-ness.

P.S. Please excuse if my spelling or grammar isn’t perfect, I’m rushing a bit

my dog park birthday

Shelley — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 04:13:32 +0000

When Tim asked me what I wanted to do for my birthday this year, my response was “I know I’m a total dork, but I’d really like to take the dogs to that dog park where they can go swimming”. We always mean to go, but everyday life kept getting in the way. What better way to celebrate my birthday than some time away with my man and my two canine babies?! Sitting home tonight, I remembered that I hadn’t taken the photos of my CF card yet. Here’s a couple of them. It’s late and I’ve been up way too long. Maybe I’ll add more tomorrow.

I did a photo shoot of William and Braylin in some clovers (weeds?). Is it alright to say that I totally Love my own photos? Cause I do, these at least, and I think I just said it. Here’s a peek:

Welcome Emery

My newest little niece was born recently. Of course I had to get some pictures of her while she is still so little and sleepy. Who knew that babies could be soo PRETTY! Just look at that face!

These two below are from the hospital. I missed her first day on earth, but this is her second. I think that big sis is happy Emery is here

Seriously, this baby could be doing mascara commercials! I want those eyelashes!

Brother Jones & Maggie Mae

I know I have been missing for quite some time now. The reasons are many and I will get into them in detail in a later post. For right now I wanted to share a quick photo from Easter day. My siblings and I, along with our significant others and many dog children, went to my moms for Easter this year. Some might call it a crazy house with six dogs running around, but I wouldn’t have it any other way! After dinner we took the dogs for a walk and I grabbed this great shot of my favorite brother and my new niece, Miss Maggie Mae.
