What a wild summer!!

The summer has gone by so fast, it seems like I have not even stopped to take a breath. We just got back from the beach with our friends Joe and Joella. Had the most fun ever, spending the days at the beach and evenings in the pool. We even got to spend Carly's eleventh birthday there. Just thought I would share some shots of her to remember how big my little girl is getting.

I worry about her all the time. Especially at night when my thoughts are running through my head. Have I done enough. I think she is amazing but will she? She is looking forward to her birthday party this year at the water park. Not my favorite place to hang out in my bating suit, but I guess anything for your kids.

This week will not get any easier. I leave for girl camp, it is my birthday, Carson's birthday and we are going to my moms. I try to throw work in there somewhere also. There is also school registration. I cannot believe it is time for all that again.

So if I have neglected any friendships, I am sorry(especially Kim who has been sick) but things will slow down and I hope I can get back to my normal life.

I also wanted to share this picture of Soren. I thought it was so beautiful and just reminded me of pure innocence. I absolutely love it!!

Always learning.

I have decided the only way to get really good at something is to practice over and over. So lots of new families have been asking me to take pictures. Just a word of mouth thing. I love that!! So I love the practice. I am learning all kinds of different ways to take pictures. I am truly starting think and this is way out there for me to acually write it down and put it out there that one day I would like to have my own photography business. There I said it!!! So here are some of the the day with the Moritz family!

My sister is coming tomorrow and we have lots of days of fun planned. I just hope I can get all my work obligations taken care of.

Carson crawled into bed with us this morning and the first thing he said to us was "Lets talk about our dreams." In his dream he was a hunter of bears and wolves. Just very cute.

My crazy life!!!

I have a hard time keeping all my ducks in a row. I hate the fact that when I have so much to do my feeding of the family suffers. I do not plan ahead and I feel like they are learning bad eating habits. I guess I will figure it out. I have just had the pleasure of two weeks with Becky Jean and like I said I had the best time. So relaxing to have her here. She just pitched in and became part of the family.

Work is getting super busy but I did have time this week to take some pictures of a friend of a friend who needed resume pictures. As always I am nervous because I have my doubts of my abilities, especially around people you don't know and you are asking to pay you. But he was very nice and I instantly liked him. Here are some of my favorite shots.

I am again nervous because I have a fun family scheduled for the beginning of next week. I am going to have to get my brain moving so I can be creative. They seem willing to do anything that I ask so I will have to share some of those.

I am still really enjoying having the kids home. Some days are better than others but they are having fun playing with all the neighborhood kids. The summer just seems to get busier every week. Maybe it will slow down when we go back to school, or maybe this is my life with 4 very busy kids.

I love Becky Jean!!

I have had the pleasure of having Becky here for almost two weeks. I love having her here and wish she could stay forever. I know she has her own life, but it sure would be nice. We talk for hours and never seem to run out of things to talk about. So we took some pictures of her beautifulness and I thought she looked fabulous if I do say so myself.

I hope everyone has a wonderful fourth of July. I hope someday to not be so busy and catch up with all my blogging friends. I was just thinking how fast the summer was going and how much I have enjoyed sharing it with family and friends.

Trying to update more!!

So I am loving the summer. The kids are really busy with scout camp, birthday parties and playing with friends. We did take time out to pick strawberries and of course I had my camera along for the ride. I have been busy with work and having family in town. My goals from last week are still in thinking about them mode. Maybe I can make them a reality. I am very excited because one of my favorite people is coming to stay with me for two weeks. Becky Jean the dancing queen. I hope she has a good time and does not get annoyed by how many times my kids will probably say her name. That is all for now. Except today in the car Jaden said "That is awesome dude." It is amazing to me how the youngest matures so much faster than the others because he has so many wonderful examples. Right now everyone is a poopoo head. I just love that one. I cannot help but laugh.

I have added some wonderful new music. I do have a favorite new artist. She is in Canada so the playlist does not have her. Her name is Amy Seely. She has some just beautiful music. It is so peaceful that I could sit and listen to it all day.
