Ghetto Sledding

I have lived in North Dakota for 3 years and have just now gotten around to sledding. Because we are fabulous and do not own a sled we made use of the top of Kaylee's toy box. Hey, it's on the floor, not being used all the time anyway, why not? First time I went sledding I went down the back porch stairs and Joseph took an instax photo of it to add to my goal book. I'll share those pics later (this means I'm too lazy to scan them right now) :) For now you get to see our little adventure in pics!!

Kaylee getting all suited up :)

Obviously she hates the cold, oh that look!!

Hayden and Joseph using the toy box lid to go down a snow hill... Hayden loved it!!

Kaylee's turn....

She did NOT love it...

Kaylee and Aunt "mana"

The boys stayed out for hours while the girls went in and got warm!

P.S look what I found and of course stocked up on....MMMMMM

My First Gig

I was honored to be asked to do a photo session with my friend Val and her lil bean Phoenix. Let's be honest, I was nervous, I am still getting to know my camera and wanted Val to absolutely LOVE the pictures. Everything went perfect!!! I took around 300+ photos and 244 were perfect. Here are some of my favorites.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'll share some of the photo shoot I did with my sister soon :)

P.S It's chicken fajita night. Happy Friday!

7 Years Ago Today...

I was blessed with this amazing little baby boy, who isn't so little anymore :( Today my Hayden turned 7. So like any other parent I let him skip school and took him to Space Aliens. We ate lots of food, some of us had too much chocolate milk *cough* Kaylee *cough*, played lots of arcade games, ran through the rain, then came home to presents, cupcakes, and games!!

Can we say yum? This is the fantastical desert they brought to him after the ridiculous amount of milkshake and pizza he consumed. It was bigger than his head.. Ice cream, brownies, candy, sprinkles, and much more!

Some cute instax photos I snapped (Kaylee had WAY too much chocolate milk and was pretty much in a daze)

Kaylee's *I'm about to do something that's going to get me in a lot of trouble face*.

This is where her chocolate rush came in....

Lots of arcade games played and tickets won :)

Lots of fun prezzies

We played some Trouble... and I lost *pouts*... (and not on purpose. Yes folks, it's shameful but I even compete with my kids...) j/k.. no really...

I love you Hayden so much more than I could ever put into words. These past 7 years have gone by too quickly and I wish I could freeze time so you'll stop growing so fast. You have grown into such a handsome, caring, hilarious, free-spirited little man. You will always be my baby boy :)

Happy Birthday Bear!

Love Forever,

Mama

Our Anniversary VIA Skype

Me and Joseph celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary via Skype this year. It was actually a 2 day celebration because of the massive time difference between us. First day of the celebration he surprised me with the most thoughtful gift ever.

Here's a little back-story. I went to Janel's back in March and fell in love with a painting at her house. SO GORGEOUS. Janel was looking to sell it recently and I casually mentioned it to Joseph. I was going to buy it with any money I made from shop updates. Little did I know he messaged Janel and had this little plan worked out and bought the painting from under me :P Him, Janel and my Mom came up with this little scheme to get it to me without me knowing. Lots of trickery was involved!!!

When the postman delivered it to me I was like what is this??? Then I saw this note on the back of the box from Janel :)





Needless to say it was a great surprise!!! I had my own little trick up my sleeve as well!!! I presented (on a piece of paper) that we were going to take a little trip to North Carolina to see his friends and family later this year when he got back from deployment!!!

Now on to Day 2, it didn't quite go as planned, there was a small hitch in the present department. But, I was surprised with flowers and chocolates :)





Day 3 (yes.. I'm aware I said it was 2 days, it was extended..again), the present I had custom made arrived!! YAY!!! I had commissioned Elsie to make this gorgeous piece for us to hang in the bedroom. We love it sooo much. From the AC DC shirt to the NC State hat...to the panda hat and red hair with black undertones, it matched us perfectly!!! It's HUGE too!!! IN LOVE!!! I'll post pictures when they are all hung up in the bedroom :)





All in all, it was a great anniversary. I can't wait until next year when we will actually be able to spend it together.



I love you so much Joseph!! You are my heart, my soul, my everything. I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together. You and Me together, we can do anything. I miss you terribly and can't wait until the day I'm in your arms again. I love you times a million!

xoxo,
Lindsay
