Sunday is my Friday, when I got home from work we laid in the sun for a little bit and later in the evening we went to Muckleshoot and got some fireworks for the fourth of july. and of course when we got home they had to light some off in Jackson's words. 

new pool! and funky tan on my back...

Monday we got up in the morning and picked up Ruby, went to the gym and then we came home and hung out and played outside in the pool and with water balloons. 

Today, Tuesday we actually slept in until 8, then went to the gym and then took Allie to her first dentist appointment, she did really well! After the dentist we had our fourth of July mini session. When we got home from that I was inspired to do my own with the kids. They didn't really cooperate, I will probably try again another day because I really like the back drop I used.

the only smile i got from her

totally over taking pictures. but still kind of cute. bow from little poppy co 

set it up in our backyard. not too shabby.

yes Mom, I will smile for you but it won't be the best. 

On Monday I took some pictures of Aliie that I fell in love with. Our new items from JuneandJanuary came, which I love came so I had to put them on her and take some pictures! I also had to put them on her because she decided to get into the pool with her clothes on. lol. Also I had put the hose in the pool before we left so the water would heat up while we were at the gym and I forgot to turn it off...we were gone for almost 3 hours. opps, my bad...but it's gets worse when my husband got home I told him I don't know why there isn't very much water in the pool, he said did you put the plug in it...haha. total fail.

Allie high five

We had a long day on Monday, with really no nap. While were in the shower she was sitting in the tub dosing off...it was so funny, this is when we got out. So sweet. 

Also I ordered a swim suit from Kortni Jeane and I can't wait to get it, no more maternity suit and one piece that doesn't fit my boobs in it very well. let's just hope it fits because there is no returns or exchanges. I show it to you all when I get it!

Summer Bucket List

Wednesday is the official first day of Summer and we are defiantly ready for it. I have lots I want to do with the kids this summer.

• Farmers market
• Pick berries
• Camping 
• Wild Waves with the boys
• Walk Redondo
• Spray Park
• Picnic
• Drive In movie if I can find one near us
• Snoqualmie Falls
• Downtown Seattle

I've decided that I want to become a professional photographer. A couple of my friends recently started their own business doing it and I said to myself if they can why can't I? It won't happen right away because I need a new laptop to edit pictures on before I can start my business, so until then I'm going to practice taking pictures, learning how to use my camera in manual better and taking classes online. Taking pictures has always been a passion for me and when I got my DSLR I loved it even more. You see so many Moms making a living doing what they are passionate about now a days and I wanted to be one of them. I hope that in a few years I'll have enough clients I can quit my full time job and do photography only. I'm really excited for this next journey. 

I'll share with you some of my pictures lately. Keep in mind they are in auto and have not been edited. If anyone in the Tacoma/Auburn/Seattle area is interested in getting pictures taken that won't be edited I would love the practice, for free of course. 

June and January

I'm obsessed with June and January. They have the cutest clothes for little girls. When I found out I was pregnant with a little girl I was so excited to get their headbands and blankets for my baby and once I had her they came out with even better outfits! I've gotten Allie the leotard, the peplum tank, the swing dress, the twirl skirt, the bloomer, some knee highs, a swimsuit and the play dress anchor and the stripped blush cardigan. Yea we've bought A LOT. But I love it because it lasts for the whole year. They have the best tights you can add with most of this and the cardigans. Here's some pictures from the last couple of months. I highly recommend you get some of their clothes. They have stuff for boys too, but I prefer the girls stuff, for the boys I shop at Target and Old Navy.
