My baby is 6 months...cry, cry!

Can you believe it? He's already 6 months old! I had to do a little shoot today couldn't resist. Didn't get any smiles because he's still learning to sit and took 2 spills. Well after that he was scared to sit so his arms straight out at his sides. He wasn't too much of a happy camper today. He did sit in the bathtub just fine though for about 15 minutes tonight, then took a spill as I was standing up so I could get him out. I also think he's cutting a tooth. My baby is growing up...I don't like it...cry!

Thanks for all those who ordered Pampered Chef from me! I appreciate it greatly...made out like a bandit too!
Here it is...love this one!

These are actually from yesterday...didn't touch my camera today. This is my brother, Steffen, and his girlfriend Liz. They wanted me to do a shoot for them before they parted ways for the summer. I took them downtown yesterday evening and we had a blast. It takes a lot for Steffen to smile for pictures for them not to look goofy, but I think I got a good one. They were awesome and totally did their own thing. Such a cute couple they are. I have another cool silhouete one of them kissing but I still need to edit that one...maybe tomorrow.

Busy, busy weekend here. Maybe I'll get to rest this week...LOL! Oh Amy, does #3 look like Tara W.? I was so totally going for that look in that one.

Off to get some zzzzzz's. Night.

Tea Party!

Parker went to his first real tea party today. Molly, a neighbor, turned 3 on Thursday and had a tea party birthday celebration today. I wasn't able to take him so Daddy took him and Cole. Bill said he had a blast.


I spent yesterday evening and this morning at a Me in Mommy conference with Lisa Whelchel. Some may remember her as Blair on The Facts of Life. Yep, I got to meet her. She is an AMAZING woman in many ways. If you every get a chance to go see her you should. It was an awesome experience.

This evening I'm going to take pics of Steffen and Liz...before they depart for the summer. Hopefully I'll get some good ones...totally gonna try and be www.tarawhitney.com this evening. (wink).

Coley enjoying the swing yesterday afternoon. He's still not feeling to well...poor guy. Must be something going around because some friends down the street their little girl has the same thing Coley does.

My Pampered Chef party went well I had 8 (with Sara) guests with a total of 10 people in my little itty bitty kitchen. The food was scrumptious too. Oh and if you would like to order I'm not closing my show til Monday. So there is still time...(wink)!

Cole laying in Parker's tent today. P insisted that he be in the tent. Luckily the light was coming in pretty good...normally it's really dark in his room. Cole hasn't been feeling well. He's all congested and was up several times last night because he couldn't breathe. Poor thing! I wish I could just make him better.
Tomorrow's my Pampered Chef party so if I haven't posted a pic early in the afternoon I have a feeling that one won't get posted. We'll see how tomorrow goes.

Isn't this just adorable? This is actually the box that the mirror for the bathroom came in. Parker picked it up and said "Look I'm a robot!" It was too cute and Bill captured this picture of him with it.

Finally, I finally captured some AWESOME catch lights in Cole's eyes...too bad he wasn't looking at me. Oh and I get the WORST MOMMY of the YEAR award today. We were at Hobby Lobby and I had Cole's carseat on the cart and as we were walking out it got caught on the door and the whole seat with him in it fell upside down on the ground. I about died and screames OH MY GOD and scooped him up as fast as I could and got him out of the seat. I was shaking so bad and a lady that was looking at furniture about 3 feet from me just ignored my scream and went on walking in the store. Anyway, I think the handle saved him from getting hurt really bad although he did have 2 small red marks on his head...not really bumps though. Poor thing I still feel so HORRIBLE for him. It startled him more than anything...but thank GOD he was buckled in. It just keeps replaying in my mind. Funny thing is I had him in the basket part up until I picked up 2 scrapbooks and couldn't carry them, push the cart, and hold onto Parker so I put him up where the seat is. Ummm never again will I do that. Scared the living tar out of me.
Been organizing my scrap space still. It's coming along and I think it will work so much better for me. It's amazing how much space packaging for products takes up. Geesh!
Parker wanted to sleep in his tent in his room tonight. I can't wait to see if he's still in it. He's never done that before. We'll see.
