Life Happens...

Why hello.

Its been a while so let me re-introduce myself.

My name is Rachel...

I am a mom, wife, friend...creative mind "in the making"

and somewhere in there I am also a blogger.

I let it to go the wayside the last few months though because of many reasons...

Mainly because...

I have a baby and toddler (enough said)

We moved!!!

I just run out of steam at the end of the day!

I am going to get back in the swing of things because I want to start "writing" down the things we do as a family! and I want to start making fun things...I have so many ideas and I may need some help from my friends :)

Here is a peek of a little someone who likes to keep me very busy!

Until next time!

It's been a while...

It's been a while!  Hey isn't that a song...I am getting flashbacks to highschool/college.  Either way it has been a while!  I don't really get much time at night to blog or I should say I am way too tired when everyone is finally asleep and I usually end up sleeping too!  I have been reading blogs though and keeping up on the news/crafts/excitement of my internet buddies.

I hope to be posting more often...it is the new year and all :)

Random tidbit of fun....ran across this giveaway via FB...from Crave Photography.

HOLY COW!!!  Who wouldn't want  85mm 1.2!!!!

All you photo buffs might want to check it out!  

Until next time!

Dan & Katie - Wedding!

I had the pleasure of taking pictures for my cousin Dan and his wife Katie!  My fabulous friend Kacey worked with me...she has a great eye and I love working with her!

They had a fabulous day!  Really could not have asked for a better weather...

Here are just a few of the many pictures we took!

Pinterest...

Honestly why didn't someone think of this sooner?

I love pinterest!!!

The only thing I do not like is when one my phone it says...

No pins Available

Request has timed out

Annoying!!

Few faves at the moment...

Ahhhhhh!

Honestly where does the time go!!!  I swear half of the time I feel like I am doing A TON of stuff, feeding a baby, feeding a toddler, feeding myself, laundry, dishes, cleaning, finances and once I get my list done (that doesn't even include fun things like crafting :) it starts all over again.  Or the other half of the time it feels like I have done nothing even though the day flies by!!

Olive has been such a great big sister, I love seeing the little girl in her growing.  I find she is very thoughtful.  I was cleaning the bathroom the other day and she came up to me and said "thanks for cleaning the bathroom mom,"  Richard was home and I asked if he told her to say that, but he didn't!  it was pretty cute!  She saw I stubbed my toe on a bench today and then she was trying to get into the freezer.  I noticed her and asked what she was doing.  "You want the pink car??"  The pink car is am ice pack...aww she wanted to put it on my toe.  Cutest kid ever I tell ya!

Ellie, oh Ellie LOVES to smile, especially in the morning.  She wakes up in the greatest of moods!

Some days I swear she looks a lot like Olive, but others nothing like her.  I should get some pictures to put side by side and see :)

I am hoping to get back to reading blogs and posting more.  Lets just say someone has been needing extra cuddles lately.
