These two little ones make my - heart - happy.

They make the tough times more than bearable, and the good times complete bliss!

I look at them with a thankful heart every day.

When my house is upside down... and very noisy... I wouldn't change it for the world.

Created by my Heavenly Father from a love like no other....

they are my little miracle blessings.

I know....

I know, I know... it's been a LONG LONG time! But... I'm barely staying afloat with work and family (not to mention friends, church, etc. kinda stuff), so the blog has just not been a priority! I have TONS and TONS of pictures of clients and my own two little ones over the last two months, but I just haven't found the time to get here and post them! Lots are on Facebook if you're on there, so you an check them out there! In the meantime... I'll leave you with these two sweet little loveable baby boys sending some love... they are my world!!

Here you go, Michele! :)

A YUMMY Recipe!

Now that the "get togethers" are rolling in this time of year, I have recipes on the mind!! Here's one that I brought to Jared's Granny's birthday party this past Saturday and like always was a hit! Don't think about the ingredients... just make it and try it... you won't regret it! Seriously... many of you can't think about what's in it!!! You just have to mix it and try it!

Corn Salad

2 cans whole kernel sweet yellow corn, DRAINED
1/2 yellow(sweet) onion chopped
1 green bell pepper chopped
1 small bag of Real Bacon Bacon bits
2 cups shredded cheese
1 cup mayonaise
1 container of fresh grape tomatoes, chopped
1 bag chilli cheese corn chips

Trust me... try it...

Here's what to do!

Drain the corn and pour into mixing bowl. Add the onion, bellpepper, bacon, cheese, mayo and tomatoe and mix well. Keep chilled til ready to serve. Right before serving stir in the corn chips (If you're making way in advance, add the bacon and tomato last minute too). ENJOY.... then go back for seconds... I did! :)

Special Young Lady!

Meet Scarlet! I first met her when she sat in my classroom as a SEVENTH grader... not really loving math, but doing a fantastic job for me! I had the privilege of teaching her again when she was in 9th grade as well! I just love this young lady, and she reminds me so much of myself (maybe that's why I love her)... she'll do anything for you, but she'll tell you like it is in a heartbeat! :) It's now been five years since Scarlet sat in my classroom as I feisty little seventh grader, and she has grown into such a gorgeous young lady! Congratulations, Scarlet! And, best wishes toward a successful, ridiculously happy life ahead!! :)

Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off to work I go!

Well... this week has started my "official" week back at work... although I can't say I ever stopped! I've been placing orders since I was put on bed rest until now, and have been doing sessions (sporadically) since Reid was 2 1/2ish weeks old! BUT... it's official! I have REAL sessions back on the books from now til December! SO... who better than to kick off my week back than with my first official client, Miss Reese! You've seen her all over my blog and website! I started taking her pictures when she was an itty bitty new baby!

Here is a peek at her 3 year pics (we won't get caught up on the fact that she's 3 1/2 now, but I was on bed rest at her birthday... then I had Reid... then her Mommy went and had her a baby brother)! :)

Thanks Reese for always being SO precious for me!

P.S. What better to add to the mix of going back to work... a 4 year old with the stomach bug! It's been a long 24 hours, and we're hoping he's on the mend and that the "buck stops there"!!
