One of these Days...

One day maybe I'll wake up to the sun shining through the trees...

And the creek running through the backyard...

I love where we live, but one of these days, maybe this will become our reality.

Breagan is turning 3

Yep, you read it correctly, my baby girl will be turning 3 two weeks from today. I can't believe that she's getting so big! (blah, blah, blah, all that stuff that mom's say about how wonderful their child is, which is ENTIRELY true of my own!) but let's get real here, you just wanna see pictures of my sassy little girl! :) So here they are!

 It's a chore, to say the least, to get this child to smile, or even look in the general direction of myself or my camera, so catching a moment like this is MONUMENTAL. Kuddos to not only me, but to my assistants who are in the background doing who only knows what just to get this kid to do ANYTHING. 

Have I recently mentioned my LOVE AFFAIR with Lightroom? Well if I haven't, this picture should say IT ALL. Pretty sure that this one is going to be made into an 11x14 and going somewhere in my house.

So precious.... 

And then the 'sass' comes out. You may not know, but she gets the attitude/sass bit from her father....

Well that is all for now as far as pictures go. We've had a rough week behind us and are looking at another rough week ahead. Next Tuesday Breag goes in and gets tubes in her ears AND her tonsils out. It's going to be horrible to begin with, I'm fully aware, but we are hoping that it will help her in the long run. The ENT told us that she had 'fluid buildup in BOTH or her ears' and 'HUGE tonsils'. We are just praying for the best. 

Playing catch up

Wow, 2 months of no blogging? Guess the obsession with pinterest, facebook, and just trying to get through life has gotten in the way. Well here are a few things that have been happening since then:

Christmas was a blast! Breag got a Barbie jeep and she loves it! (If it's not moving) Yep, that's right, she likes to sit in it to play and watch tv but you has a complete come apart if you take it outside and try to get her to drive it....Maybe by summer she'll be used to it. And yes, it is still taking up a large chunk of my kitchen as we speak. 

Speaking of Christmas, we got a new computer and Chandler bought me 'Lightroom' for my birthday. Yes, I am having a BLAST with it! Here are a few things that I've done with it:

 Just a few pictures of Breagan and Mia from last year. They got new outfits from Grandma & Grandpa and we decided to take a few pictures of them. They turned out kinda dark, but with Lightroom, Viola! New photos!

 Of course, my model got roped into yet another photo shoot during a crazy snow storm. 

I've been taking a photography class from Clark Knight and it's challenging me to step out of my box, so I decided to take some still life photos that we could put up when we redecorate. (Yes, another project that's been in the works...) 

This is just a very brief overview, but we haven't been doing anything that interesting. Just wanted to get something up on my blog so that it didn't say that I hadn't posted for 2 months!
