Easter 2013

Easter..(I'm still doing catchup)

I did the egg dye using koolaid.  It turned out quite well!!

All the plastic eggs Tristan would dump the goodies inside his basket and toss the egg!!

 He is a charmer!!

Big T Catchup

So a couple of months ago Big T broke 36 eggs ( yep 36!!) on my living room carpet!!  It was midnight and I wish I did snatch some photos with the egg shells, but I immediately had Big T start picking it up!!  I did get some photos the next morning, but they don't give you the full effect.

Big T and I made some GAK!!

Big T has a knack for making messes, but I'm pretty sure we signed up for this when we meshed Coach's and I's DNA together!

Apparently it snowed!!

16 weeks

Friday the 22nd I was officially 16 weeks!!
I have Finally gotten over the all day nausea and have noticed I have more energy!! Yay!!!
Although I still have random morning "hailing the throne" moments.

 FYI There is a reason why I'm the photographer and not the model.  You'd think they would be better, but I've been forgetting to take the growing photos and I wanted it at least close to 16 weeks. So my lovely husband took them before we rushed out the door today.

New Business

So It has been kinda crazy at our house the last couple weeks!!
 Coach was laid off from his job about a month ago and all the applications being sent out weren't getting the desired results.  It is super tough to find a part time job that can work around a crazy school schedule and a National Guard schedule.
Coach lays laminate wood flooring and tried to get some business from that, but most of the builders had their own guys they use.  They still took down our contact info if something came up which was nice, but we need a job that produces an income to support our family sooner than later.
A good friend of our suggested we start our own window washing business.  Which was something we once talked about, but at the time we had a job, so it wasn't taken any further.

Our good friend was an answer to our prayers and gave us the push that we needed!! 

 So we have officially started our own business all licensed and insured!!
M&M Window Washing
We already have a couple of clients and a business!!  And then today was Coach's first official going out and trying to drum up some work.  We may have got some clients from that, too!!

I personally think it is super scary to go door to door, and even Coach admitted to being nervous when he was doing it, but we have to try!  I'm personally scared about starting and doing a business all together, but again we are sort-of out of options and we need to be able to house and feed our growing family while Coach finishes up his college.

I did get my design juices flowing and created his business cards and magnets. I made fliers and even  made some t-shirts!!  It a simple design but exactly what Coach had envisioned and what i think looked best! :-)

Life is Full

This last year was a good year.  I felt like I was more myself, that I let myself be more of what I truly am!  I was able to accomplish some of my goals this last year and just doing that feels amazing!!
I grew some bigger cojones and officially got my photography business out there!!  I'm excited about it and I'm grateful for a husband that helped pull me out of that scared corner I sometimes drifted to, ( well still do I guess :-) ).
I am still getting all the kinks and some of the finer details worked out on by website/blog for my photo site..but here is the link for all you that read this blog to check it out...

Big T's imagination grew tenfold last year.  It was so much fun to see him play and listen to him.  He also loves his country songs..Rodeo and Should Have Been A Cowboy are the top 2.  We get those sung to us at least every day.  He is a bundle of energy.  I read about other friend's boys at his age and they are building things and seem to be more up on their fine motor skills than my kiddo.  But I'm coming to grips with the fact he is more of a destructive boy than a building boy.

I also had the opportunity of getting to work with my husband, and though we have worked together before it has been either me helping him on floors, more his thing, and him helping me with my photography, more my thing.  Never has it been on something we both love and enjoy.  Coaching together really was awesome, my friend was right, I loved it! ( She thought I would.)

Last year was busy, but it felt full!! I'm super excited for this year!  I've got all my organizing techniques Pinned and feel ready to take on the New Year.  I have a lot of goals set out, but I'm just excited to better my self and feel less chaotic while trying to accomplish them.  Still expecting a busy year, but hoping to have a better hold on it! I'm grateful I get to continue on my journey with my Handsome Family!!!
