It's Steaming in Here!



Happy Mother's Day to me! :) The only thing I really asked for, besides the white on white Publix cake (a MUST have for every occassion in my book) was the Shark Hand Steamer. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my Shark floor steamer and have been eyeing this hand held one for a few months now. My lovely husband surprised me with it yesterday and I was pretty much addicted to steaming my house all day long today. Poor little Carter was actually terrified our house was going to start on fire this morning. :) That boy cracks me up. I steamed my dining room table, counters, walls, garbage can and the list goes on. I think I may actually love this one even more than my floor steamer.

In other news, stay tuned to a post later this week of Alicia and David's wedding from this past weekend! Get ready because she looked gorgeous and the wedding was absolutely lovely! Congrats, guys!

My Little, Middle Lovlies

I LOVE photography. Absolutely LOVE. I play and shoot with my camera practically everyday. It's pretty much always attached to my hip..or eye for that matter. However, rarely do I do "photoshoots" with my kids and quite honestly it's because I don't like to. :) I LOVE, and I mean absolutely adore each ounce of their being but when it comes to taking their pictures, let's just say all cooperation flies out the door. My kids just don't listen to me or cooperate the same way everyone else's do once the camera whips out. I'm pretty sure when my beloved camera appears they shudder at the sight. Mind you, I'm not even one of those mom's who is constantly saying "smile" or "look at the camera", etc.
The other day my wonderful husband called me and asked me to come out to an awesome park where he goes to for work a few times a year. I figured it would be a great opportunity to take some new "photos" of the kids, rather than the daily "pictures" of our little field trips. This shoot only included our middle three, as our oldest was in school still and our youngest was kept in the stroller, for my sake. :)
For the most part, I'm happy with the results. Here's my three middles, oh so lovely, fun, and each absolutely unique in their own way.
