My blog needs some love! I’ve been away from my computer quite a bit lately.  The OS on my poor old Dell took a dump.  But I had a backup computer already loaded so I just had to transfer my data drive and my burner and all my applications… and the whole sh-bang… not so fun but could have been a lot worse.  Although I think I am realizing that I didn’t backup my Photoshop actions and Lightroom presets!!!!! AAAAHHH!!!! I know I must have them somewhere! Lesson Learned!  Adobe puts them in such a funky place it’s easy to forget to back them up!

 I’ve also been busy assisting on weddings and shooting weddings of my own and now I can finally sit down and sink my teeth into the editing processes.  I’ve also been busy meeting new mommies taking part in the Prego Mommy Model search. I have met some really beautiful women just glowing with mommy-hood. I can’t wait to start showing off some of the results.  I’m excited about what we will be doing!

Our affiliate [Channel Islands PPA] just had our quarterly print competition last night. We had some great judges which turned into a Simon, Paula, Randy match which made us all laugh! It was a great comp night.  My entries in the children’s category scored only an above average but I learned a few things too so it was worth the humiliation .

Here’s my little cutie.  He’s helping dad wash his Mercury Monterey.  He felt so important.  This weekend my little baby (not such a baby now) fell on his face off his little ride-on car.  You know how it feels when you have something brand new and you hate to have it scratched or messed up… like a new car or something? Well… that’s sort of how I feel because he chipped his front tooth!! It’s just a little chip and he got right back up to play again! But still, kind of sad.  His front baby tooth will never be the same.  I have to say though that at this age I LOVE that I have this special mommy power over him whenever he hurts himself.  If he gets any scrape at all he says “mommy kiss it” and it’s all over like it never happened.  I will be sad when my special mommy power will stop working. I love that a little kiss really makes it all better.

Comming soon!! Gabo and Gooch and the Rock-a-billy wedding of the year! WooHoo!

…dirty laundy I mean.  I was entertained by a blog post from dear Jodi of Jodified Photography and Design  She decided to air her dirty laundry and what the heck we all have some.  So let’s hear it busy moms! What’s your dirty laundry? I will share just a few and try to be brave.

1. Let me start by saying my son was a planned pregnancy and I wanted a baby very much… I did not enjoy breast feeding.  I had pain at least 6 weeks and I was doing it all correctly.  It got better and I was fine with it and nursed for 12 months.

2. I did not fall in love with my son till he was at least 6 weeks old.

3. I felt like I was hit by a truck after delivery and did not feel even a little bit better for weeks.

3 1/2  I hate the doctors for making me wake my son every 3-4 hours to nurse.  Dangit I needed the sleep more than he need the milk okay?! 

4. I absolutly hate epesiotomies.

5. Dispite what my pediatrician says I let my son drink juice all day because that’s what he likes.

6. I have let my son stay strapped in his car seat while he’s asleep while I run in store really quick.  I always make sure I can see him through a large store window and it’s never on a hot day okay?!

7. I look at my son all the time and get a little sad because I know he will grow up and never be that cute again.

8. oops.. I have one more confession.  I bought my son a CD of Steve Songs.  He’s on PBS and I think he’s really cute.  And I sing a long to the songs even when my son is not in the car.

Okay girls it’s your turn.  Let’s hear some comments below
