Really nothing exciting happened today. Another "same-o, same-o" day at work. Come home to my boys and goofed around and took Cooper to the park for a little while. Both of my boys are in the bed resting peaceful and I am up playing on the computer. My body tells me to go to sleep but my mind tells me to keep going.
The girls at my work are having me a "weddingPampered Chef" party Friday afternoon. We all really kinda sorta forgot about it until the host called today...oops!! So I've been sending email invites for those who would like to place orders.
We are going to attempt to travel to Aunt Shana's Saturday. We didn't make it down this past weekend, Cooper decided he was going to start running a fever Saturday evening and into Sunday. So we are going to go down and see what kind of "junk" she has for her yard sale:) It will probably be like our yard sales...lots of good junk:)
I need to get started updating my photography flier and update my prices and so on. Cooper's birthday is coming up and I've been toying with different ideas. I really need to decide on some invitations. I usually make them, but...sometimes it's easier to buy them:) I will probably make them. I still have wedding thank you cards to made and mailed out.

Lovely Monday
Where to start...it's Monday...evening and we are getting ready for bed. Cooper is watching Super Slueths. Gotta love My Friends Tigger and Pooh :) I'm on the verge of getting rid of our dogs. When one comes into heat so does the other. We have spent hundreds of dollars on dog containment facilities, nice way to put dog pens, and have watched these hundreds of dollars go down the drain. Katie, our prized yellow lab can destroy a chain link dog pen in just a matter of minutes during this time to get out and go find the nearest stray dog. I put her up Friday night in her crate with Roscoe, they have food, water, get out for walks, and so on and she destroys everything. I took them for a walk this morning, feed them, and put them in their bed so I could take a shower, 20 minutes later after I'm showered and dressed I go outside and the whole front of the dog crate is gone. We are at our witts end. We have bought 2 chain link dog pens, put tops on them, spent $400.00 on an in-ground pet fence cranked on high and everything available in our area and it's all ruined.
Our goals were to raised our registered labs and it has been nothing but a flop. We have a nice fenced in yard, but do you think that is enough, no they apparently need more. Getting them fixed has been an option, but it doesn't help keeping them put up.
Anyway, enough venting about the dogs. My child tells me he is tired and ready for bed.
Have a wonderful evening!!!

Today's trivia question:
What type of flower am I????
Please post your answers as a comment. Answer to be revealed Monday April 26th.
Skip Day!! Shh...Don't tell anyone:)
I woke up this morning and decided today would be a good day to stay home. Now I know I was just on a weeks long vacation right after the wedding, but it is just a much needed day off. I mean come on, it's 9:30 and I have taken Cooper school (which I do feel badly taking him when I'm home), but I have the whole yard mowed, laundry going, and as soon as I finish this I'm starting on the dishes. I figured I would get the yard mowed before it starts raining. I think the weather forecast has rain in it for the next week 0r something.
Jeremy will spend most of his weekend turkey hunting and Saturday is Papa Edward's birthday and then Braydon's birthday party is also Saturday. Sunday I think Coop, Grandma Beth, and myself are making a road trip to go see Aunt Shana. Maybe if it's not raining we can get her some new pictures for her photography gallery:)
We have been looking a new vehicles alot the last little bit. Jeremy is torn between getting himself a new truck or getting me a new SUV. I found a Tahoe that I would love to have at the local Chevy dealer, it's a 2007 black, but it is $35,000.00...a little more than we had planned to spend. Now if we could get them to come out of the $30,000.00 mark then I think it could be a possibility.
Well, the laundry and dishes are calling me:) Have a wonderful day!!!

Our Weekend
We had a busy weekend. Most of Saturday I spent cleaning before we ventered to Holts Summit, where we spent the night at the new Barnes' Residence. We had a nice dinner and breakfast, a real good visit, then we all ventured to the St. Louis Zoo. The kids had fun, Cooper was really excited as he was able to see the "elfefants". Then a few short hours later it was back to I-44 and on our way home.
I'm excited, Shana and I may have our first wedding to photograph in July. We are still waiting for confirmation.
It's a busy week ahead. We just recently found out at work that our hours will be changing the end of May. I'm not real excited about it either. There have been so many things coming up and changing at work that I'm getting feeling it's time for me to have a change. Options are limited in Rolla. If it were up to Shana and Brandy we would move to either Springfield or Jefferson City. I just don't see my husband wondering too far from Phelps County though. It would be a nice change, and a big adjustment. But we will manage and get through, we usually do:)
I've been planning (in my head) Cooper's birthday party coming up in June. It's so hard to think that my little baby is already turning 3. Which, according to him, he is already 3. Once Carter turned 3, Cooper turned 3:) He is truely my little blessing.

I'm already procrastinating/Blog Trivia
I'm already procrastinating wiht my blog. And to my fellow bloggers I'm sorry for this, I know you just hate it:) Well, I'm thinking of adding a weekly trivia question to my blog. Those who are the first to guess right will get a prize:) I'm toying the idea of using pictures as the prizes. Something like the first person guess right will get 5 free 4x6 photos from Jennifer's Fotos and then if this person continues to guess correctly the prize will work itself up. So I may add like a free 8x10 or 5x7's or something along those lines. My plan is to use pictures that I've taken and you have guess what it is. I've been taking alot of "nature" photos. So good luck!!!!!

What I blog about:
Honestly, I post everything on Facebook or once in great while on myspace. I am going to do my very best to post at least once a week. Don't hold me to it, but I will do my best:)
I have been reading Shana's blog and found something very interesting, she is also an inspiring photographer like myself. I did already know that but she has some very interesting information on her blog about her photography dreams. We both more or less started "photography" after Cooper and Carter were born. We both had digital cameras and have just slowly been upgrading and learning new things on the computer and new photo software. She uses Photoshop alot and I use mostly Picasa. I'm learning Photoshop...it's a work in progress:) It's funny because here we are both getting interested in photography more and more and the more we do the more our children hate it. Cooper sees my camera and runs the other way or covers his face and yells at me not to take his picture.
Photography studios are so expensive. We have not had actual pictures taken since Cooper was 1 (aside from the wedding). Each we would go get them done you spend $200.00 before you know it and that is just on the proofs. I would love to be able to offer an inexpensive photography experience for people. I have made my own little price sheet for the few sessions I have done. Photographty takes a lot of time if you want to do it right. My main problem is, I have a full time job and trying to do photography on the side takes alot. But like Shana said "I've got to start somewhere". The more practice her and I get, the more likely each of us would have an opportunity to do something great:) Wishful thinking.
I must "blogoff" and get my child ready for bed. His father has already beat us there.
Goodnight!!

About Me:
I am the proud mother an adorable little boy, Cooper Samuel. I am married to the love of life, Jeremy. I was born and raised in Phelps County Missouri. I went to school in Newburg where I graduated in 2002 with my very best friend, Shana May (www.cartersmomma.blogspot.com). Jeremy and I have been together just over 12 1/2 years. We became boyfriend and girlfriend August 8, 1997 (Jeremy's 16th B-day). Our son was born June 24, 2007 (the day before my birthday). Jeremy and I just recently were married, March 27, 2010 in Newburg. Cooper is the absolute joy in both mine and Jeremy's lives, he keeps us going:) My hopes are to have at least one more child, a girl, who we will name Shelby Elaine. I have had this name picked out, well, really before I was pregnant with Cooper. I work in Rolla at the Central Missouri Urology Clinic. I am the director of medical records. I graduated from RTI/RTC Medial Office Technology program May 2003...a short, very informative course.
I love being with my family and friends. We are a very outdoorthy (if that is even a word) family. Jeremy has rubbed hunting off on me:) I've always been into fishing. We have horses and dogs whom we love playing with. My family has a small privately owened campground in Jerome in the Gasconade River. My grandparents bought the property and had it open to the public for many years. When my grandparents passed away this was left to my mom and little brother. They graciously left their home and land to me in Doolittle. This where Jeremy, Cooper, and I currently live.
