Staycation day 3 & 4

Days 3 and 4 of my staycation have been pretty good. Not much going on honestly. NOT! So much has been going on. Let's start with yesterday. I watched Josh start on our upstairs hallway. We are painting and remodeling so I can finally hang some beautiful images. I will have to post before and after once we are finished! So after that the kids and I went to my  moms and jumped in the pool and walked through her backyard. I love her yard! I am thinking come fall I will use the following items for the kids pictures.

Love this!
I can see Brody sitting here with his army jacket.

So later in the evening I ventured out and met up with my photographer friend Sarah Gaylor and we photographed her clients who are getting married next month. Such a fun night at the fair. For now I will share a few fair pictures and one shot of the beautiful couple.
         
  

Now onto today.....well things could have gone a little better in the morning. My backup computer got attacked by a virus! So I am now without it for a few days. After I dealt with this it was time to play. The kids, their friends and I went to the "bunny fountains." It was a blast watching them play and giggle. Once we soaked in some sun I decided that we all needed sno cones! There is a great little sno cone hut here in town and they have soooo many flavors. We have been going several times a week. Here is a picture of Emma with her bestfriends Zach and Maddy. Really wish the light was better because this would have been an adorable image but I still think all the kiddos are cute.


Finally to end this evening I went to dinner with some fabulous friends who always make me laugh. Came home and finished painting baseboard. I am looking forward to the next few days and to get back to work!

Staycation Day 1 and 2

I have waited all summer to have time off and just to get things done. You know the things you put off during the winter and the things that you procrasinate doing? Not to mention I have not had any quality time with the kids and it was about time we had some fun! So day one of staycation was spent at the fair. They were geeked up to go and that's all they had been talking about up until yesterday. It was family day and crowded. We had planned to just spend a couple hours there and ended up staying 5 hours. The atmosphere sucked us in! The kids rode on the rides, we ate all kinds of food, played games and checked out the animals. It was an overall great trip except that I took the wrong lens with me! Noted for next time.
