I'm back.....

Yay!  I'm back at school subbing already in the 1st full week of school.  I want to get as much days in as I can before this baby pops out.  It's only a half-day assignment, so that's a good way to ease back into it.  Plus, the kids are just taking quizzes.  Tough!!!  Haha

Then there is a photographers meeting at the paper today. And it's off to another football game tonight.  Ugh....

❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

sneak attack plop

Whatever. I know I said no more plops. But this was the only camera I had at the wedding last night.  So here are some random plops:

Carey & the Mantis, There's a bump shot in there working on pictures

Outfit changes for the wedding & reception

Caden in a football jersey! Touchdown!

Another haircut for the little man, Indians' Game

Fairport Harbor

LT pool

New car, Nick Robinson!!!, CFFD, goodnight!

Don't forget, these pictures and MUCH MUCH more are posted on instagram!

Up-do!

My sister is REALLY good at doing hair.  From cutting, to styling, so coloring to up-dos.  She can do it all.  Here is the latest up-do I had done for yesterday's event.

Senior pix

I took Sam's senior pictures, they will be up on my professional site soon.  But here is one from when I was just tweaking my settings.  I thought it was kinda cool.

Riley's 4th Birthday Party

Baby Owen.








He LOVED painting!  No shocker there.



"Here Daddy, wanna paint?"




We painted his hands to make handprints.



I love how Jimmy is concentrating so hard on it.  Hehe

p.s. I'm pregnant. Not fat.



Riley blowing out her candles



She said, "wow!" When she opened her gift from Caden.  They were all talking about how my wrapping left glitter all over everyone.  hehe.



Jimmy hanging with the birthday girl and Jeremy wearing Caden's apron.  It fit!

It's Been Rainy...

It's been raining and I have had volleyball all week.  Perfect time to get organized.


We put Nature Stone in our laundry room.  It feels so nice on my feet. :)  Not to mention that it looks a hell of a lot better than the gross brown floor with the old glue all over it.








Just feels cleaner!



I spent a day putting all of this stuff back on the IKEA shelf.  I even managed to get 2 open shelves.  Time to shop! Ha  Just kidding.

Here I am 24 weeks pregnant about to tackle the long forgotten office....




Well.  It doesn't look totally clutter free.  BUT there is a huge improvement.  Stuff you can't even see.  You couldn't walk in the room before.  Now ya can.  There is even space to pay the bills.  Woohoo!

I also put up some more of Jimmy's awards that were just lying on the ground.




The Office Depot box will be gone soon.  The giraffe photo boxes & karaoke machine will be gone when the built-in is done.  The fabric in the blue tub is for my T-shirt quilt that will NEVER get done.  Haha.  So tedious.  No time for that crap.

Eh.  Good start.

Let's go to the Beach!

Impromtu beach visit.







23.5 weeks prego in these.

cool

My what-would-have-been high school made the news:

Allen Eagles, Fight Fight Fight

Car Explosion

The movie, Toy's House, is being filmed in our town.  Since I work for our local paper, I get VIP privileges to doing stuff.  I got to stand in a good spot to take pictures of a car they exploded for the movie.  And better yet, my family also got to stand by me as well to check it out.



Boom goes the dynamite.












It was pretty cool to watch.  But 13 seconds of fun didn't quite add up to the hour of standing in the scorching sun....... without water......being 6 months pregnant.

I did however get my picture taken with an actor from one of my favorite shows!!! It's on my instagram account.

Jimmy and I also talked to the producer, maybe i'll be starring in one of his next movies.  HAHA!!!

randified....

Wanna see the most random pictures ever?



So as you can see, I'm running out of room in my dime jar.  So I bought a new BIG jar to hold them.  I'm debating on if I should put new dimes in the old jar until it gets full again and them dump it, but that took me about 9 years to fill up.  Haha.  I think I should just find something else to put in that little jar.  Plus the new jar can fit my quarters from my Grandma S. So that is cool, too.




Dragon Fruit.

Looks so pretty on the outside.  Looks like a white kiwi fruit on the inside.  Tastes like NOTHING.  I mean absolutely NO FLAVOR.  boring.



You've been officially randified*.













*Ran•di•fied:  | ran dē fīed |
adjective

officially recognized as looking at something random

At the Lake House

Me & my guys...and baby #2, whichever it may be.  Haha

I look sooooo good in blurry pictures.  I should make sure they are all like that!




Michael posing




Jimmy posing



Caden looking at his Daddy, wondering what the heck he is doing

instagram

let's be honest, I haven't kept up with my instagram photos on my blog.  So if you want to see them follow me on instagram: dallascc4 or Kristi Lynn.

Christmas in July

We celebrated Christmas in July!  I made little santa hat brownies, melting snowmen sugar cookies, mistletoe, and had out red cherries, and we strung up our lights








Caden & Papa playing with rocks & Daisy!



A mistletoe kiss before bed.

Let's go to the Zoo!

Hearing like the kangaroos



Pretty bird.  pretty bird.
















He looks sad...



My  little monkey!





turtle. turtle.



Gee, must be nice to just sit back and relax.  Enjoying all of the people watching.  The wagon was great for the zoo.  We saw some people with the same one and also heard some people say, "gee! That's a really expensive wagon."  Only the best for our little man!

He did throw out a book that is now long gone.  So I guess we have to keep a super close eye on him or not let him take anything next time.  He also kept taking everything out of the diaper bag.
