a splish spashy birthday party.......

We had a birthday party for little Brendan Boo.  More people were supposed to come but I think it would have been so much more overwhelming that I am glad it turned out the way it did.  It was a nice 102 degrees!  We put the misters on and it kept it to a 90's sort of feel not too bad.  The pool was a splish splashy time.  Brendan was kind of a little grumpy with all the noise and commotion.  He had a good time though I am sure! :)  I found this teddy bear cake that I had decided was what I wanted to make for his birthday and once again I was up way too late baking (though I enjoy this challenge and it wouldnt have been quite so late if the kids would have gone to sleep earlier)  I also modified the size that the pattern I was looking at was and made it bigger.  I went to sleep at 3am and got up at 645am and then was having baggy blowout issues so I had to send Lance to get me a real frosting bag (now I have three hahaah) Bear cake 3 hours after Lance got back was done!  It was worth the time and effort , it was only sad that he had to be cut up and eaten!  All in all it was a very nice party!

unsure of whats going on!

New Photography business blog!

I am separating myself from here so my blogs aren't linked together.  Here is the link to my business blog.  It will be updated with every photo session.  I have a few lined up, and then there is always sessions with my own.  :) Follow me there if you care too keep up.  I will also link it to my facebook blog in the coming days. http://reneethephotographer.wordpress.com/

I really have to make the push forward, I just keep casting doubt upon myself and then something happens that makes me know I am doing what I am supposed to. :)  Watch me grow!!

Happy Birthday to my Brendan Boo!

I know it is the eve of but I had a moment and thought I would take it!  I took his one year birthdy photos today.  I can't believe my baby is already 1.  Last year today I had my Dr apt that told me the baby would not engage in the amount of amniotic fluid he was in and I would have to be induced.  My mom was on a plance flying in to help at this time last year and I was set up with induction check in at 2am July 9.  I was anticipating the arrival of my little guy who had yet to be named.
And then I had a new man in my life.  Brendan Landry! :)

He has been the best baby one could ask for.  A happy baby, a cuddly baby, a good sleeper.  He even teethed good! :) He has been a pure light an joy in my life.  I am grateful we were not done with 2 like I thought, because although money is tight the love is abunbdant.  We will have birthday banana pancakes and we are having a birthday party on Sunday.  :)  I will post a  party post after Sunday.  :)

Happy 4th of July!!

We had a nice day at home!  We played in the pool and then just hung out on our street and watched everyone set off their  fireworks.  We were going to go to the drive inn again but they didn't have anymore family friendly shows and Rori got everyone in trouble and so we didn't go, but the street was filled with people and fireworks.  People down te street and people behind us were setting off the big illegal ones!  So we have LOTS of BIG BOOMS as the kids call them, plus we could watch Station Casinos fireworks from the back yard. We had sparklers left over from last year.  :)  It was a nice night!

My new love!

I'll sing to the snow white tune.....
"I m dreaming... I'm dreaming.. for the one I love... to find me.. to find me... today....."
My new love and desire is the Canon  7d.   I really could do amazing things with this camera!! Maybe by tax time I will be able to afford this!  I am not going to put myself out this year!

How I dream of low noise and more megapixal!  What I wouldn't give for 8 frames per second shooting!

*SIGH*
