It's Bumma Day!

This morning I woke up to a very excited little girl climbing on my bed and oh so politely telling me, "Mom, you have to wake up! It's Bumma Day! It's time to go!" I asked her what time it was, and she said, "It's a.m. Time to go to Bumma's!"

Last week, my mom started the ever-popular "Bumma Day," where she invites all the grandkids over for the day and us mommies can get some shopping, work or other errands and stuff done without having to manage the kiddos too. I LOVE BUMMA DAY!!!

Lilly insisted on being a princess today, so she's sporting her Princess Aurora (Sleeping Beauty) dress, her Princess Aurora flip-flops, her Princess Aurora underwear and her Fancy Nancy hat. The tiara wouldn't stay on her head. She was tres chic walking out to the car this morning.Judah was less than enthused to pose for a photo with his sis.
Yay for Bumma Day! I'm off to get some work done in peace and quiet!

Thank you, Hulu

...for reminding me why I heart The Office. I am so ready for the next season!

More Green Eggs and Toothy Grins!

Miss Lilly-bean asked for green eggs the other morning, and I was happy to oblige.Mr. Jude just wanted cheerios and milk. He got his wish, too.
I heart my kids.

My new toys...

I've saved for awhile, and am FINALLY beginning to acquire the lenses I "need" to fill out my camera bag. I am so excited to test these out at Matt's cousin's wedding this weekend!
AND...my new shootsac to hold my gear on shoots and at weddings! No more traipsing back and forth to my giant gear bag or lugging around cumbersome camera bags any more!Lilly was as excited for my new lenses as I was, and she immediately put me to work taking pictures of her (and yes, we're growing out her bangs, so don't judge!):I couldn't leave Mr. Judah-buddy out of all the fun (however, he was much more interested in the food I was supposed to be feeding him at the time):

Last weekend, Matt helped his dad move to his new digs on Barren Lake, and Andy & Erica came to help out too. We don't get to see them nearly as much as we'd like, so we had a great time hanging out over the weekend. I think we might've been getting a little slap-happy, because Erica was wearing Lilly's boots (note: they are too small for Lilly) around the house. We thought she looked ridiculous, and I had to take a few pictures. We laughed so hard!

For no other reason...

...except I like it.

It's been crazy busy 'round these parts...

I haven't had much to blog about lately, since I've been working nonstop since the end of May. That's a good thing, since we like to eat, and selling photos allows us to do just that! My senior sessions have been great, and I had an awesome engagement session last week. I hope to book some more weddings soon so that I can do more e-sessions before the summer is up! I've had a session or church event scheduled for every week night so far in July, and it won't stop until at least the 23rd. I've been saving my pennies for a few photo-related items (and the wishlist just keeps on growing!), so I'm hoping to book around 15 more sessions before August 1, so I can get them before my next wedding. I know it's possible, but I'm not so sure that it will happen.

I haven't had much time to take photos of the kids lately, so here's a quick update:

On Judah...
-He now has 4 teeth, and more are sure to pop any day now
-He's beginning to walk for longer stretches (5-6 feet at a time), but he still prefers the (much faster) crawling mode of transportation
-He says "kitty cat", "woof", "boo" and "gaeeeeegh"
-I've given him about 30 haircuts in his 14 short months. Just cut another 2 inches off last week.

On Lilly...
-She is a "threenager"
-She is completely potty trained during the day (but still in diapers at night)
-She told me today that I am her favorite mommy, but only today. Ava (her "mommy" when they play "house" at school) is really her favorite most of the time. Ouch.
-She walks in 4 inch heels better than I do.
-She likes listening to worship cds, The Beatles and Coldplay. Good taste.
