{cami & I...versus the kids}

 Cami and I had quite the exciting little day yesterday! We went babysitting at Andy and Terica's house (who, by the way, is having a GIRRLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!). And oh boy, was it a mess! A joyful mess, but a mess, nonetheless (Hmm, i'm getting to be quite the poet, eh?). Whenever Cami and I got there the kids were already eating their "dinner." RICE KRISPIES:) (snap, crackle, POP). I kept asking Jadeyn what her dinner was and she was like, "This is my dinner! Rice Krispies!" Terica told us before she left that the kids were allowed to have popcorn, but they had to eat it in the kitchen. Yeah, popcorn + hyperactive children + carpet = mess. But, you should've seen Cami's face when the popcorn fell out of the bag! I thought she really was going to cry hahahaha. I was laughing so hard that I couldn't really yell at the kids, so Cami just vacuumed it up afterwards. Paxton loved it! He even dove for some of the missing popcorn pieces that were hiding under the couch:)  And then devoured them. Cortland rolled around in it, Jadeyn shoved fists of popcorn into her mouth....remind me why we needed the vacuum?:) Jadeyn kept trying to give Cami a wedgie! It was so funny! She would come up to me and whisper in my ear, "I'm going to give Cami a wedgie now!" Me, being the devil I am, smiled, patted her head, and gave her the okay. I have to say, the show was hilarious, folks. Cami, sprawled onto the ground, holding onto her pants for dear life. And I laughed while watching Jadeyn sit on Cami's face, or pull her pants down....poor Cami....it was a good show for me, though, must say! Thanks for the entertainment, Cam:) Paxton and Cortland were fighting over this little race car, and Cortland, being older and obviously bigger, stole the car and ran off. Paxton came over, clung to my leg, and wouldn't let go. And then he says, "If you get my car back, I'll always love you!" I was like, "You don't already?" And he said, "Well, I'll love you more if you get my car back because Cortland's poop." Alrighty then. Let's get the kid his car back, I decide. Cortland reluctantly handed the car back and agreed that he could take turns with Paxton. Then, little Maddox came and stole the car, and the whole process started itself over again. Ohhhh, boy. I just let them fight at it. I have to say, Paxton is stronger than he looks. Maybe future football player? Wrestler? Hmmmmm.

Oh yeah, the kids went to a birthday party and got a whole bunch of candy. It's a good thing Andy's a dentist.
But doesn't Paxton look so cute?!

Oh, Cortland:)

Jadeyn, eating her "dinner."

Cortland's sucker from Ella's birthday party:) I asked him, "Aww, Cortland, you went to Ella's birthday party?"

his response: "Yeah, but she is not my girlfriend!"

Me: Paxton, smile!

Paxton: CHEESE!

what a goofball:)

I think this is my favorite picture. Look at how distressed Paxton is over his stolen race car.

^ notice the toe sticking out of his footie pajamas:) 

Doesn't his face just say, "My life is so hard as a baby?"

He wanted a picture in glass. :) haha

Our popcorn fiasco! Look at all the delicious popcorn....don't worry, the kids didn't let it go to waste;)

Doesn't it look like she's gonna cry?! 

Nawww, she's fine;) Just a little sad is all.

I mean, that's her "Terica's-going-to-kill-me" face.

EAT IT:) Like I said, they didn't let it go to waste.

You ain't so fly, Paxton. 

OM NOM NOM.

And I'm going to leave you dear bloggers with a picture of poor Cami after Jadeyn tried to pull down her pants! So funny! Haha:)

Catchya on the flip side:)

{jennifer breann dizes}

otherwise known as my sister. no, really, folks. she's my half sister! pretty young whippersnapper, ain't she? well, last week she asked me if we could go to the park so she could take some pictures, because, truth be told, she needed a new profile picture for facebook. no, actually it was more important than that. see, my sister is only 20 but she was in a really bad marriage for about four months and the only recent pictures of herself were with her and her ex husband. so she wanted to me to take some new recent of her. they turned out pretty nice, i think. and we got to hike through the woods, and climb things, and laugh. what could be more fun? i think jennifer is the strongest woman i know, and i look up to her so much. thank you, jennifer, for letting you're little sister take pictures of you.

this shot would've been so much better if my thumb hadn't be in the way:( ha ha but i was laughing way too hard and didn't notice.

she didn't even know the last one was being taken. jenn, you seriously are the strongest woman i know. i love you bunches of oats, and just remember....

the show goes on ;)

so, this is my photography blog! i'm so excited to get it started, you guys:) but, i figure if i'm going to start a blog, you guys need to know a little bit about me, so here's just a few tidbits of what i like.

so i love: obviously my camera. i love taking pictures. but it's not the taking pictures part that mesmorizes me, it's the memories that last from it. as a little girl, my mom took me to get my pictures taken all the time, and if she hadn't, i probably would have no clue of what i even looked like when i was younger. the whole reason i'm starting this blog in the first place is so my talent can progress and can be shown to people all over. and if they like it, then i can gladly take pictures for them:) hopefully, this can become a hobby of mine when i'm older and i have my own lil' ankle biters (beware, future kids: you're going to suffer from Photographer Mom Disease, which means, you're picture. taken. 24. 7.), they can remember themselves when they younger and innocent and reckless and carefree. hmmm, i'm a bit sarcastic, but don't take it personally, mkay? hmm, what else do i like? i like running, freckles, redheads, reading, spanish, antique stores, yummy food, belly laughs, the ocean, The Beatles, shoes, family, friends, music, art, swirly dresses, dimples, vintage. as this blog progresses, you will see and learn more of me. i should be getting an actual photographer camera by my birthday (coming up this may). so, it shouldn't be long until the action really starts. but until then, enjoy the ride with me!

Catchya on the flip side:)
