after a day of earthquakes & tornados, I don't have much to say.....so here are some more pics from Steve & Amandas day...
On Saturday, I second shot this wedding for Charlotte at cfcpix.com. I had assisted her last summer for 3 weddings, and this summer, I'm helping her out with 2. She's super fun to shoot with! She's a fountain of info, and she puts up with my questions (and I have many). I would never have been able to shoot a wedding on my own without her valuable help.
Here are some of the shots I got from the wedding. This couple were so cute. I even cried a bit at Steve speech.
I'll post more later this week....

This weekend has flown by!! Friday night we just relaxed and watched like 5 episodes of Dexter. I know. Crazy, but what can I say - I'm offically addicted to Michael C. Hall.
Saturday Morning I got up bright and early and got ready to drive to Peterborough to Second Shoot a wedding with Charlotte Clements, from cfc pix. Long ass drive let me tell you. But soooo pretty. I've found so many places I want to do couples shoots. Tanya spent the day shoting a wedding in Bradford. Wedding Season has begun!!!!
Anywho. Almost 5 hours of driving and then 10 hours of shooting, and then I came home. Nick looked almost as tired as I felt. Nevaeh wore him into the ground with all her playing (and temper tantrums lol).
This morning we woke up, said "Happy Fathers Day" to nick, went for brekkie and headed off to our friends Becca and Jase's Boat. As you may (or may not) know, nick basically makes giant stickers for a living (wraps boats/cars/trucks/transports etc). So he had done their boat name. Which they loved...
After the boat name went on, I sat and gabbed with Bec and Nick walked a very restless Nevaeh around. She badly wanted in that water. Bec and Jase suggested a ride out on the water. Nevaeh's first boat ride.
While we waited for the guys to get the boat ready to go, Becca fed Nev strawberries, while I had a panic attack thinking she would get red all over her new dress ...I'm no fun, I know...

At first, she wasn't too impressed as we got out of the Marina. She yelled and kept trying to hop out of the boat . She wanted in the water.
and then.....as we spead up, she LOVED it....
I'm off to bed now. I have one hell of a headache. But before I do, I'd like to wish my daddy and Nick a fantastical fathers day.
xoxo
Or what felt like winter anyways.
I secretly prayed for rain all day Wednesday. I know its bad, but man, do I hate soccer in cold.
But alas, no rain. Just cold.
Poor Abby
Sooo cold....

Especially when she's the Only big sister:) while Mady and Abby were at Camp, I took the younger girls to the park, and Mimi insisted on pushing Nevaeh...
Nevaeh gets out of the stroller. I ask her to look at me and smile for a photo. She wont. Gone is my baby who used to sit and smile on comand.

Now she looks at me like this...
and then she freaking smiles for Mimi.....but not at me, just Mimi
Only because Mimi is making this face...
but then once in a while, I'll catch an honest to godness smile, when she doesn't see my coming...
My two babies. Not such babies anymore :(
So apparently I'm blogging about once per week. This sucks compared to April when I blogged almost every day. I'm going to get back to it. I promise. Not sure who I'm promising, as I'm sure not to many people read this other than my family. But whatev:)
This past couple weeks has been insane. 3 weeks ago today Tanya and I hosted our Tutu's in the Park in Meaford, and well, since then I've been in Photoshop Hell. We've also had about 5 other shoots since then as well, so the 30 some odd Tutu sessions PLUS 5 other shoots = me not going to bed until about 1am each night. Full time jobs tend to get in the way of editing.
Jobs, plus the end of Dance for the girls, and the end of Guides/Sparks as well. Oh, plus the beginning of Soccer.
Who's idea was it to have 4 kids again?
Or right, mine.
So this morning, we got up with 2 girls (Madison is at Guides Camp and Abby is at Sparks Camp), and got ready for Mimi's first soccer game of the year. Got up early, made the girls a nice breakfast, got them showered and ready. Checked the Soccer website about 10983r48 times to see if it was cancelled due to rain.
Nope. Still on.
So....off we went. It was drizzling when we first got there....
Then I say - Come close I want to see your hair, and I take this terrible photo ....with bad cropping...ah well. I'm alowed to take a snap shot or...5
always stuck her tounge out while kicking....too cute
Then just as I get her to hold still and get a hair photo - the sky opens up, and DRENCHES us, so me being the good mother I am, ignore my children totally to ensure my camera is safe inside my camera bag. Then deal with the kids. Who were soaked by then, not under the umbrella.
Priorities right?
By the time we made it home (game didn't happen - they called it due to weather) we were just soaking wet.
Needless to say this afternoon was a cuddle stay warm kinda afternoon. All 4 of us napped! was great.
Off to enjoy the rest of my rainy Saturday....

Okay - So I was JUST (I mean 20 min ago) on the phone with Tanya and hung up, and went outside to find a bird on my patio. Looking at me. I walked toward it, it flew away. I thought, hmmm. Weird.
Then, I walk down the side of my house and find 4 of the same birds. They don't move as I walk toward them. I'm not an animal person, and don't know much about birds, but I do know that typically they fly away and don't let you get near them. Wild birds that is.
So, I call Nick over..... (he was elbow deep in gardening - hence the dirt)
People may not like Nick, but animals sure do:)
