Aaron had his party at Laser Quest. I thought Chuck E Cheese was noisy, but I have rethought things and decided this place is crazy. Here are just a couple of his party.

I have handed off my Stephaine Myer books the other night to my Mother in order to get her hooked. I am ready to go out w/2 of my girlfriends Friday to see the movie! We made a pack to go together after we read the books. We bought tickets for the early show just trying to miss the teenage rush (like that is going to work). I can’t wait!!! Seriously I am so excited and such a vampire freak right now between that and True Blood. Since I finished with Stephenie’s books I have moved on to Charlaine Harris books. I have known who the killer for this season of True Blood for sometime now, I tried really hard to keep it from everyone that watches the show. A couple of us call each other Monday morning to discuss. I have to admit since losing the Sopranos it is nice to have something on HBO to enjoy watching again. The Sookie Stackhouse series books by Charlaine are excellent and do somewhat follow the show but I really don’t feel take away from watching it every Sunday. So for all the Twilight fans, I hope you enjoy!
Aaron played Mites on Ice the other night at the Cap Center. This such an awesome program that the Capitals do for young hockey players. I got to go down and take some action shots of the kids. It was a lot of fun. Here is a his magazine cover he is giving to his Grandparents.

I haven’t shared any of my kids lately. Every year we go out and take fall pictures. We really enjoyed last Saturday at Locust Shade Park. The weather was perfect and we even got to take “Sug” with us. He is not so little anymore. We are very proud of him, he just graduated puppy classes and is finally house broken!!! OMG I never thought the second would ever happen. He is currently learning to stay in our yard and how to use the invisible fence. So I guess he can stay. LOL
Aaron was going for the long hair like his fellow ice hockey players. He broke down and cut it yesterday. So these are before with his big hair.






Aaron wanted to take some of me, my little pro





Lauren is really playing it up for the camera



Lauren turned 4 yesterday. Her real party is on Saturday at Chuck E Cheese. Oh I love Chuck E Cheese! LOL then again I wouldn’t wish the kids any older then they are ever. Happy birthday Lauren!




Sug is finally home. We (Chris and I) have wanted a Boxer for 11 years. When I was in college we got our second baby (first we rescued a kitty). We couldn’t afford a Boxer so we got a Husky. LOL the shedding alone on Nakita “Kita” will make someone go crazy. But we love her and she is an old lady now.
My son Aaron has been on me to get a puppy. You don’t buy a puppy for a little boy so we held off. We discussed it and decided we did want an addition to the family. Aaron was wise and figured if Lauren asked Santa for a kitten he would just do it too. So we picked Sug out when he was 3 days old. I can’t believe how crazy I got over watching for the Breeder to add images of him. Oh yea I picked Sug from a Breeder and I am happy to report these are their family dogs. Second litter and only do one a year. They also had 4 kids and the puppies were around children. That was important to us.
Today he is home playing w/my parent’s 2 year old dog. OMG they are crazy. Kita is just watching them happy that my parent’s dog is leaving her alone. I love dog sitting
So here is the handsome little man

Shoes yes he likes them

Not the best of his Mom and Dad~sorry I should have picked a different one. Bad angle of Dad but I like how they have the same step.


Lauren w/his litter mates

We are actually currently on our family vacation but wanted to share a couple of our mini vacation to VA Beach to see my friend Tanya. I forgot how much I miss Tanya. Hopefully her and Greg will be coming to the River House in August. Greg was great w/the kids and had them climbing trees before we left. We had a blast at the beach w/Tanya. We stayed at Turtle Cay Resort. A very nice little place with perfect pools for the kids. I honestly didn’t want to leave. We won’t be back home till the 14th. Our cousin is getting married and I can’t wait to see the family and enjoy a wedding I don’t have to shoot.



No we don’t take thousands of pictures of Lauren. ![]()

















I am a little over a week late posting this but Lauren started camp this year w/her big brother. After the summer she will start preschool. Wow time flies. So here are Aaron and Lauren on their first day of camp. These images so remind me of the ones my Mom took of me and my Brother every year!



So I broke it out of the box last night. The kids were amused and thinking they were going to get a turn. Not the case this bad boy is mine (just like the system is but the 7 year old leaves it in his room and has made it his own) not anymore buddy!!!
So you have to go through this whole process of standing still and align your body straight. My 3 year old knocked me around the first several attempts finally I stand still for the 3 second count down and it reports back to me I have the body of a 51 year old. Sweet!! Chris was dying laughing. Of course he is going to do his when I am not at home to watch and enjoy. It also reports back what I already know about my weight and weight gain. I set my goals and me and the kids are off running together. Then we did some yoga. Not a bad little system and so far it does exactly what I want. And the kids to be able to workout w/me if they want. They all have created their own characters and we ran past them as we were keeping up w/our trainer. I hope I stay w/the plan and make my goals!! Great addition if you have one and are motivated. I want to have the body a 29 year old again
Mother’s Day rocked this year for me. I got a beautiful black pearl necklace and earrings from the kids. Aaron planted me a flower and made me 2 cards. Lauren bought me a card (next year I hope for a homemade one because those are the best)!
Chris made me breakfast in bed and drove (I know nothing big you say but I always drive so yes that is something big. But I got motion sickness from it and did the freaking out thing cuz he doesn’t pay much attention. So I remembered why I don’t let him drive but still told him thanks and that he really made my day).
We took my our Parents and my Grandparents out to dinner and really enjoyed ourselves. I wouldn’t change a thing besides sleeping in the 3 year old’s bed the night before
Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends and clients!


My Grandma doesn’t she look great?

My Grandfather is in his 80’s and I think he looks amazing

Not the best of my Mother in Law. I was competing against her point and shot

silly gooses
