Guns 'N Hoses 2010

On Saturday, my hunky firefighter husband participated in the Guns 'N Hoses flag football battle to help fund the cops and firefighter memorial at Westside Park. Anytime I get to brag about being married to a hunky fireman, I jump on it. Do you remember going through high school, having all the popular (and slightly hookerish)girls make fun of you for not dating and sleeping with everything that moved? Only to grow up, marry a dimpled cutie who became a hot firefighter so that you could go to your 10-year high school reunion and tell them you married the #1 fantasy of all women and they can all stick that in their slut-pipe and smoke it!! No? Just me? Huh....I thought every girl had that dream....

Anywho, my grandparents joined us. Give them a chance for to spend time with their great-grand babies and watch their favorite grandson in-law play something, they take it!
Grandma had to show off how burnt grandpa was from his fishing trip that morning.

Take note of their amazing sunglasses. They always get those infomercial glasses that look huge because they cover their regular glasses. I love those crazy old people!

Russ warming up

The Color Guard. That is one of Russ's fellow firefighters back behind them playing the bag pipes. He is in a full on Scottish kilt. The girls were disturbed that their was a man wearing a dress there. I tried to culture them in the ways of their heritage (they are after all, like 1/8 Scottish:), but they couldn't get past the dude wearing a dress.

The Team

A little photo of the action.......

Yes...that is our one firefighter chick..right in the middle of the action. Apparently she was playing with a broken finger. I think I saw a stinkin' cop guy run over her head after one play. Literally...ran OVER her head. Like with his cleats. She is one tough cookie. Not that all the other guys weren't tough, I saw a bunch of them take some pretty nasty hits (in flag football mind you!), I just had to give a shout-out to all the tough chicks out there!

We ended up losing by 3 points....freakin' cops. :) All in all, not a bad way to raise some money for a memorial honoring those who risk their lives for us every day.

New Photography Blog

I decided that I needed a separate site for all my picture stuff. Some people come here just for that, some people come for my winning personality and witty comments. I don't charge enough to have a fancy, paid for photography site, and at this point, I don't need one. I just wanted somewhere to share my pics, share a comment about my awesome clients, and maybe post a price sheet.

Without further adu....I give you my official SITE....enjoy!

And leave comments...I love comments and constructive criticism. If I don't like them...I'll just delete them:)

Camping

We decided to try our hand at camping last weekend. Mid-October, first time ever in all our 12 years together camping, and the weather decided to give us a wonderful Indian Summer. It was 90 degrees. Which meant our tent was a sauna. Think cult-in-the-desert, sweat-lodge kind of sauna. Regardless, we had fun and will be doing it again sometime. Sometime when it's NOT supposed to be so hot.

We took the girls pony-riding one of the days, which was a hit. Maebree refused to smile the whole time she was on the horse, but would not stop talking about it when we got back! Mostly...it was about the pony that almost bit her finger.


Faith was mad cause she wanted to do full-on trail riding. Maybe next time!

We had a favorite horse there, and ironically, it's name was "Favorite":) She was quite a hit with the kids! They discovered that she would eat anything, including grass.

We have more pics, but I didn't bring my nice camera, so they aren't the greatest in the world:) Plus, we were so busy beating the heat, I didn't think to pull it out! Maybe next time!

Sleeping Beauty

Peaceful moments are few and far between in my house. This was a peaceful 10 minutes.....


Notice the chocolate-stained mouth....funny thing is...we didn't have chocolate that day.

Faith's new look

I am SO behind in blogging it's not even funny. Tis the busy season! I have so much to catch up on...some of which I don't necessarily want to remember (i.e. going crazy trying to sell the stupid house!) and some I do (celebrating 12 years of marriage to the most awesome, handsome, dimpled firefighter the world has ever known:).

Poor Faithy got her mama's eyesight...which ain't good. She got glasses a couple weeks ago...and with the exception of looking like the unibomber in this getup (she was helping me on a very cold and windy photoshoot), I think she looks way stinkin' cute. Way cuter than I looked in my first coke-bottle pink and blue glasses. Wow....gotta love the 80's.
