I feel better. Anyway. Back to my crazy life. Who would have thought that being a stay at home mom would be so crazy busy! Well i guess i cant consider myself a stay at home mom, im more of a WORK at home mom. I babysit 3 little girls during the week, and yes i get paid. I feel bad charging but its not much and it REALLY helps us out as well as i know i am helping them out. Daycare is RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE and they get special individual attention from me where a daycare cant provide that. Anyway, So i have also been really busy with photography. I did a bridal session and a wedding all in one day. I just finish editing the bridal session [find it HERE]. I am really happy with it. And now i am working on editing the wedding. I cant wait to reveal it! SUPER cute. Then i am shooting a session this sunday, and another wedding next Saturday! I am loving this continuous work, dont get me wrong, its just hard to take care of 3 little girls, feed, change diapers, plan naps, feed some more, play with them, have arts and crafts, play outside, feed them some more, do dishes, sweep the floor, mop the floor, do laundry, pick up toys, try to workout, try to edit pictures, try to get some blogging in, take personal pics for blogging purposes, maybe shower, maybe eat, make dinner, clean some more and it never ends!
Trust me though im loving it. I love staying this busy. I was worrying that staying home 24/7 that i'd get bored. UM NOPE! HAHA.
Then, on a sad note. Jeff's gma passed away today. She was such a special, sweet, tender lady. Always made me feel like family from the day she met me. She was like the glue of all the extended Cox family. So sweet. So big hearted. She just wanted everyone to be happy. When Jeff went to jail she was actually the one who convinced to talk to him on the phone. She will truly be missed.
To cheer Jeff up, i made him his favorite cake :)

I am so sorry for your family's loss. She sounded like a gem! irl you need to just take a bubble bath, & take a little you time. I know... w/ what time! I should take my own advice.) I hear ya also about blogging. It's like you too small, & not important, or all's you care about are gainging #'s. I know a few big blogs that I've followed since the begining have never so much as returned one question or comment. Oh well, the whole reason I started bloging was to document my monkey, & my new love for photography. I have met some AWESOME ladies though. All just a bonus! Sorry for the novel comment my dear! LOVE. LOVE. LOVE, the work you've been doing!
aww bless u. Poor jeff i know what its like losing grandparents i've lost all 4 of mine its hard and very difficult to get over but im sure with your support he will. I love the cake what flavour is it? Even though I ask for followers on my blog i do it just coz i like it.
I just took a look at the wedding you did... they are beautiful!
I'm sorry for your loss... I pray that you all will be strengthen during this time of bereavement! I also wanted to say that your photos are amazing! You're during a great job with that as well. However, I'm glad I'm not the only one who felt that way about blogging! It sort of gets on my nerves to see that its all about contest and being a better writer than someone else, that people forget to even write about what they started blogging about in the beginning. That's why when I follow people I follow people who are real and are actually talking Life and being real about it! Great Blog:-)
I hear ya, girlfriend!! I've been skipping over a lot of blogs lately for that reason. :)
Keep up the great work with your photography. That bridal session was amazing. Gorgeous bride, gorgeous photos!!
I will be praying for Jeff and all of you during this time of grief. I pray that you are all comforted.
Have a great weekend!

You are crazy talented behind that camera lens girl! Sorry for your family's loss, hang in there girl!
seriously, wtf. I completely agree on the blogs, what ever happened to actual blogging? I find it hard to find time too, and i'm not nearly as busy as you! But there are still real bloggers out here! keep on keepin' on....
I hear you on the blogs! I agree 100%...Sometimes I feel like I am on a hamster wheel just trying to keep up with all of those big blogs. And then I remind myself, why do I have to be like them? I blog to make myself happy, and to make a few new friends, and I have definitely done just that! (And you are one of those awesome friends, along with the wonderful Miss Melanie that I found through your blog!).
So sorry about your loss.
And those bridal pictures are simply stunning! Great work! You are so talented!

I feel the same way about the blogger world. I really don't have drive lately because of bigger things going on in my home, and some days I just dont have the time or energy. Three kiddos are filling up my day, in and out of the house dropping off to school, play dates, park dates, errands, lunch then naps (THANK GOODNESS FOR NAPS) then back out again, clean house :maybe: then dinner then playtime then homework with H, then is there really time for me and the hubs? Geesh, I tell ya I feel like my head is spinning too, I'm right there with ya! Your blog and a few others I enjoy reading, so with one eye open if I can make it online, I do get on and check yours :) Keep bloggin!! :)
