My Faves

I've been taking Little Guy's professional pictures for only two and a half months. Before that I haven't been into photography for years. So here are my all time favorite pictures of my little son.













Hope you like them as much as I do. Okay, Little Guy is finally down for a nap and he wore me out so much that I am joining him in napping.

Also we'll be driving to California tomorrow evening so I won't post until Monday or Tuesday and then we are flying to Canada for the week.

Burgers & homes

It's been a busy weekend. Not as busy as the next two weekends will be, but I still found myself running around with no time. We went to look at a house in Everett and yesterday decided that we will put an offer on the house tomorrow.



It's in the Historic district. We like it. The inside is nice and it's big. We'll have room for a studio for me and also room for our other business we do together. The house it old so it has a lot of charm. My brain has already started to work and make it very cute inside and out.

On Sunday Little Guy got dedicated to the Lord. I got to dress him up in the outfit we wore to his Aunts wedding in Slovakia. I only put on the pant under a onsie. He didn't even have any shoes on, it was a hot day.



After the service we got invited by Becky and her husband Dave over to their house. They have a very nice house that they live in and she know how to decorate her house.



We got to eat my favorite food (well one of them) Bugers! They were very yummy. If I had a big tummy I would have eaten two.



My husband had fun talking to her two beautiful boys. She has a very beautiful family. Very are fun, respectful, clean & amazing people of God. I could go on forever about how great this family is and how blessed we were they invited us.





After their house Little Guy and I crash on the bed. We were both very tired. Our nap was great!



After our nap our little family went on a nice summer evening walk. Little Guy enjoyed lounging in his stroller. He had his feet up on his tray the whole time.





Tommorrow we give our offer...

Saturday's Photo Session

Saturday was my first offical photo session for Annetta-B Photography. I took so many pictures that after I edited all the ones I like there are 77 awesome pictures in all. The package that they paid for only has 35 edited pictures. They are going to have a tough time picking on 35 that they want to keep. I know I would have an even tougher time. There is a peek at some of the pictures. Let me know what you think and leave me a comment.

I love me some country style

My mom and I have decided that once a week we will go antique shopping, but we only have $20. Today was our first day and it was fun! We went to the Country Village in Bothell. It was a very cute place with many adorable little shops. Next week we have serval places to pick from. I sometimes wish that little town still looked like this.









They even have chickens and rooster there! Off Topic- I'm thinking about having some of our own chicken in our yard when we move to our own house and not a rental. I think Little Guy will like it.



The even had a Metro rooster. Love his do!



Mommy and Little Guy had a great time.







He totally riped that flower to peices!



My mom also got to be my model as I went picture crazy.







In the end she said enough is enough. I can't help it, the camera is my friend.
The $20 was well spend at my new favorite little shop. This place has so many cute things! I got a wall hanging for my desk.



I also got my mom to take a couple of pictures with me and my son. Those was rare.





And before I end this blog I have a picture just for my mom in Slovakia. She doesn't get to see Little Guy in person so this picture is just for her!

It's been 4 years...

My heart breaks, but I'll start from the beginning of my day.

I bought a desk for my photography business. Now I have my own space that's not the kitchen table to edit my pictures and post my blogs. I just love my desk, it's just my style.



Something loving from yesterday are the flowers that my Hubby bought me. It was an interesting evening since Little Guy decided he only needed TWO naps when he gets four. The flowers made the evening not seem so bad. They are just so beautiful.



I let Little Guy watch his favorite cartoon on YouTube that plays to classical music. It's the only "TV" I let him watch. We actually don't even own a tv so something that stimulates his mind is the only thing I let him watch. It was great because I had time to get ready.



Tomorrow is the 4th anniversary of my brothers family murders. While he was serving the country in Iraq their next door neighbor murdered my 2 nephews, sister-in-law and her sister on July 17th. It's something so painful that I have no words to put down besides the facts. They were an amazing family. I loved those boys with all that was in me. They were ripped right out of our lives. If you want to know more details search Justin Milkin or Andrew Milkin, those were my nephews names.



My brother decided to rebuild his burnt down house that Olga bought him as a surprise. We went there today to drop off some flowers in their memory.



This is his rebuild house. I'm sure if you google the story you'll see pictures of the burnt down house, yes he burnt it all down too (insert bad word)!



Olga picked a house that had a nice view and a little lake for the boys to play in.



While we were there Danny (my youngest brother) was so happy and excited to see Little Guy that he spend the whole time just with him. He wouldn't let no one else hold Little Guy. He is his 3rd, but 1st nephew.





Little Guy got royal treatment while everyone fought over who was to feed him. My mom won in the end.



When we got home Daddy was waiting for his turn to play with Little Guy. There were lots of laughs and joyful screams as Daddy tossed Little Guy into the air and played airplane. Warms my heart!



I'm still loosing a lot of weight so I got to treat myself to a yummy calorie bomb!



And then I got stuck eating soup... sigh.



Tomorrow I have a photo shoot and needed to carve a watermelon again. So we ended up with bowls of watermelon. Luckily I was able to take some to a business meeting we went to day.



Today's post is long and heartbreaking, but tomorrow I'll be editing pictures from the photo session I have in the morning. I'm saying night because I will need all the sleep I can get.
