This is where you will find me in all my random-ness... it is mostly photos and ramblings about my life, but I will sprinkle some client stuff in here & there. So grab a cup of coffee and stay awhile! And leave me a comment to let me know you were here... thanks for stopping by!
xoxo, Jess
Please follow me on twitter and @reply me so that I know who you are! :)

Wow, I’ve been “away” for far too long! It feels like forever since I’ve posted. Life has been so crazy busy, with school and work and the kids, I just can’t keep up on anything else.
So much has happened these past couple of months, I don’t know where to even start. So I’ll just go forward from here.
Miss K lost her first tooth a little over a month ago. Yep, she is growing up on me. She is losing her baby fat and her face is losing that “toddler” look… makes me so sad.
I finally got around to taking her out for a little bit yesterday, to take some shots of the toothless grin for posterity before that new tooth comes all the way in (it’s started already).
She is too sweet.



Sass!




Sorry for the photo overload, I just couldn’t narrow them down any more than this…

It’s official: my little girl is growing up.
She has her very first “wiggly” tooth!
I can’t believe it. *sigh*
I finally got my hands on some of that super-cool barnwood floor paper,
so I grabbed the girl and snapped a few shots of her on it before that tooth comes out.
For posterity, and all that.
And also ’cause I think she is uber-cute in her v-day jammies.

Thought I’d post a photo of one of my other kids for a change. You know, just to prove that they DO actually exist.
Devin is going to be the next Tony Hawk when he grows up.

Since this week’s potd theme is “simple pleasures”, and also since my blog got “eaten” and I had to start all over
this week, I thought I’d dig some of my faves out of the archives {aka my photobucket account} and repost them.
I’m sure you have seen most {if not all} of these before… sorry about the repeat! {and sorry some of these are wonky
sizes, I’m too lazy to resize them again today, haha}
These just make me happy to look at. I really need to print some of them.
{particularly the ones of my girl}
Kaitlyn in her “girly fort” we made together…

Baby piggies…

A twister! A twister!

bleeding hearts…

{check out the bottoms of his shoes}

Love…

Twas the night before Christmas…

How’s that for a random selection? I’ll stop there though… the furthur I dig, the more faves I keep finding!
I’m kind of jumping around here, time-wise. I hope you’ll bear with me, haha.
My dad bought the boys these GORGEOUS handmade 410 shotguns while he was deployed to Turkey after 9/11.
He keeps them locked up in the gun safe at his house, and we bring them out from time to time while we
are up there visiting. I love that my dad does things like this with my boys {not necessarily the gun part,
I don’t actually care much for guns, but the togetherness part}. It’s stuff like this that they will always remember.
The little things, like shooting Pepsi cans into obliteration with their Papaw Bob.


Kaitlyn, however, apparently shares my feelings about guns. And loud noises at all, for that matter.

Wow, I have a LOT of catching up to do! I may never get everything posted that I want to post.
I never realized how big a part of me my blog and website were, until they were GONE.
Since I have to start all over, I may as well start with some new{ish} pics of my nephews, Avery and Max.
Avery got a cool new haircut, and Max had his 4-month birthday, so we snapped a few shots to commemorate the moment…
Max is actually FIVE months old now! *eek* He is growing up WAY too fast. Both of them are.



All I can really do with Max right now, pose-wise, is the tummy thing. But he is THISCLOSE to sitting up on his own,
and I have TONS of ideas for that stage! I can’t wait!
Sidenote: Today is my AMAAAAZING hubby’s birthday- I won’t say how old, haha. We had a great day, just hanging out. I love you, Jason!
I’ve missed you guys! I’m so glad to be back!
xoxo,
