This summer has been a very busy Summer thus far (at least for this busy momma). Whew! I promise, promise to post pics and real catch up posts soon. For now, I am working full time, doing my photography what feels like full time and planning a weekend get-away to Galveston and then a 6 days girls trip for me, the girls and my mom to.....(wait for it).....(wait for it).....San Diego, California. WAHOO...the girls and I are super excited about this one.<br />
<br />
Traveling out of state (Texas) is a big event for our family and not only are we traveling out of state but this time we are flying. Yep.....the girls can't wait to fly since they have never flown (that they can remember anyway). My mom travels a lot for work and is always calling me from her road trip telling me how beautiful the place was and how she wished we were there to see it. So....this time she tells me that she is planning a trip to California and I jumped on the waggon. It was a hard choice and decision because we are trying to save money for out Disney World Trip next Summer but between her work paying for the hotel and rental car and us pulling together some flight points, and me putting myself on a strict budget while there....we are making it work. YAHOO...a girls trip to Cali in early August....here we come. :o)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494265813204005373.post-25185378258974931622011-06-09T12:02:00.000-07:002011-06-09T12:02:48.367-07:00Hayden's 1st BirthdayHayden had a mini party in her daycare class on Thursday.

I can't believe it...I just can't. Looking back...I can remember the shock of finding out that we were pregnant with her, then before having her wondering how our life would be after we have her, and now....a year later.....I can't imagine life without her. I seriously can't. I don't even remember what life was like before her. She has been such a wonderful blessing to this family. We all adore and love Miss Hayden. <br />
<br />
Here are a few photos that I got of her for her 1st birthday. Since we have done so many cutesy parties....we have decided to make this one a bit different. She will be having a punk princes 1st birthday party...girly skull and cross bones and hot pink and black.</div><div align="center"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41826280@N06/5781576502/" title="246938_1700668805106_1489517092_31336090_3964745_n by shelleykutina, on Flickr"><img alt="246938_1700668805106_1489517092_31336090_3964745_n" height="427" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2676/5781576502_823ab7149c_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div align="center">-</div><div align="center"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41826280@N06/5781576704/" title="250712_1700782167940_1489517092_31336220_845449_n by shelleykutina, on Flickr"><img alt="250712_1700782167940_1489517092_31336220_845449_n" height="427" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3156/5781576704_79584d0177_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div></div><div align="center">-</div><div align="center"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41826280@N06/5781027307/" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" title="229143_1700685205516_1489517092_31336093_5358701_n by shelleykutina, on Flickr"></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/41826280@N06/5781027511/" title="248007_1712603023454_1489517092_31351099_458392_n by shelleykutina, on Flickr"><img alt="248007_1712603023454_1489517092_31351099_458392_n" height="640" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/5781027511_dfeb004427_z.jpg" width="427" /></a> </div>-<br />

She attends two meetings a week where they cover eating healthy, living healthy, the importance of exercise, maintaining a healthy, smoke and drug free life style, self confidence, self esteem building, empower girls to be leaders in our community, raising money for cancer research, all of that on top of various exercises and running 1-2 miles each meeting. <br />
<br />
Their slogan "<strong><em>I am one young voice, but I can change the world</em></strong>" is an important message that she is learning. She finished this season with a 2 mile "Tulip Trot" at Market Street in The Woodlands. She did an amazing job running almost the entire thing. We held signs and cheered her on as she passed us about 5 times along the way. We could not be more proud of her for being part of this wonderful organization and completing the race. <br />

She is very excited to be starting kindergarten in August and asks us every day if today is they day she starts "big school".

I wish I could freeze time and enjoy it a little bit longer just as it is. <br />
Current changes, good ones, bad ones and just changes.<br />
Skyler just finished 3rd grade<br />
Madison will soon start kindergarten<br />
Hayden is almost one<br />
This will be my last, "first birthday" that I will ever have<br />
Schuyler is about to start a new position within the same company<br />
My mom and Walt are getting closer and closer to retiring and will soon start traveling in their new camper<br />
My sweet mom has been having some health issues<br />
My blessing from heaven, mamaw is 88 now<br />
Mamaw had a heart attack yesterday<br />
The thought of losing my mamaw, which will happen some day, scares and saddens me to no end.<br />
Skyler (my oldest) is almost 9<br />
In August I will be dropping in hours getting off at 3:00<br />
Hayden is getting closer and closer to walking every day<br />
I am 32 (gasp)<br />
My mother-n-law and I have gotten a lot closer in the past year or so<br />
My photography keeps me busy<br />
My children and husband keep me busy<br />
Our house is not always clean<br />
Our laundry is rarely done and put away<br />
I see family members struggle financially<br />
I see family members struggle with happiness<br />
I see family members struggle with health<br />
I find myself miss my dad and wonder what kind of of relationship we would have today had he not passed when I was 16 years old.<br />
I find myself loving my husband more and more on a daily basis....no matter how cleche' that may sound, it is 100% true.<br />
We are planning a Disney Trip for next summer and realizing how expensive said trip is going to be makes me panic a little....but am super excited because I know that I have 3 beautiful daughters who will not only LOVE IT, they totally deserve it. :o)<br />
Schuyler and I have finally completed our wills after 7 years in the making.<br />
<br />
Like I said....changes....some good, some bad some...just changes.

She got me 2 beautiful dresses, a pair of to die for 4 inch satin champaign colored shoes, matching clutch purse, and some awesome dangle earrings. As with most moms...my money normally goes to new things for the girls then I normally wear just something in my closet, so this was a very sweet and special treat that she provided me. Thank you so very much Lynn. I can't wait until Michael and Katy's wedding. :o)<br />
These are the shoes.... LOVE<br />

This was posted on Facebook along with this photo by Erica. (hannah's mom)<br />
There's an unspoken language, almost resembling a dance, that best friends have. It's not choreographed, just effortless fallen into by two people who love one another and are so in sync. I have been fortunate to find this in a dozen or so amazing women (I can't tag you all so I am choosing not to tag anyone, but you know who you are) and it warms my heart to see it happen for Hannah. Over the past 24 hours I have watched her and Skyler complete each others sentences, giggle over things I have no clue about, share drinks without thought and much more. Thank God for best girl friends! <3<br />

I just got the word back that my request to go to semi-part time at work was approved. It won't technically be part time but I will be getting off at 3:00 each day. This will greatly help our family. I will be there to get Skyler and Madison from school and will be able to get home and do homework and start dinner much earlier than normal. Also, now with sports we seem to be always on the go in the evenings so getting home work and dinner out of the way before practices or games with be a HUGE HELP! I can't tell you how happy I am that Schuyler and I finally feel comfortable enough to do this. I will be sacrificing a little income BUT with Madison starting school and not having daycare costs for her....it really helps. As a mom....I know this will only be a good thing for me and the girls. I will be there for them more when I am so used to relying on mamaw or friends or neighbors to help after school. OMG.....I am so happy and at peace with this decision. Thanks for my wonderful husband for helping to make this happen and supporting me in making this decision. He's my love and my strength.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494265813204005373.post-1184997511491468712011-05-05T12:41:00.000-07:002011-05-24T12:51:36.202-07:00My little sales girlI am not sure if being a sales girl is something to "strive for" but if anyone has a natural ability to sale it is Skyler. She just has it in her bones some how and trust me....she doesn't get that from me. Just the thought of doing fundraisers a a kid made me cry. But then again....I was very shy.<br />
<br />
Every fund raiser that Skyler is given she excels at. She begs me to let her go around the neighborhood selling. Oh and she HAS to start the day that she is given it because "if I wait other kids will go to my normal houses and they will buy from them and not me" UGH...really?! She is crazy BUT she has a lot to show for her hard work. I actually envy her and the fact that even in the face of rejection she says "thank you" and is off sprinting to the next house without even missing a beat. Takes a special person to take rejection so well. :o) Every year with the school fund raiser she gets to do something fun because she is always one of the top sellers.<br />
<br />
These are a few rewards that she has gotten for being one of the top sellers<br />
Kindergarten was a pizza party<br />
First Grade was a a pizza and moonwalk party<br />
Second Grade a limo Ride to Double Dave's pizza<br />
Third Grade (this year) a Hummer limo ride to Cici's Pizza (photo below)<br />

Such a lucky girl to get to ride in a limo twice before her 9th birthday. HA....I have never ridden in a limo....sat in many of them but never ridden. Lucky girl who works hard for these special rewards. I am soooo proud of her.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494265813204005373.post-26304762007098940192011-05-05T12:37:00.000-07:002011-05-24T12:38:41.936-07:00We are a boating family :o)This is us on our boat minus Hayden who was spending the day with mamaw.<br />

We have just signed Madison up for Kindergarten and she will be starting in August. Love this girl....just wish she would stop growing up. :o)<br />
<br />
Madison is super spirited and constantly tests the limits BUT she is so sweet and very smart. I know that she will do great in kindergarten and blow them all away. I am so proud of how much she has learned in her private pre-school program and how much she has learned. <br />

Alone time and we were able to actually talk and not be interrupted with children. aaaaaaaah....peace. We went to PF Chang's...hello yummm. Then we were thinking about going to a local pub to hang out and have a few drinks BUT since we got a lot of visiting time in during dinner and since we are pretty adventurous and spontaneous people we decided to go play gold. YEP...the two of us bowled the night away. It was so much fun....Just the two of us. :o)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3494265813204005373.post-88688879633676321582011-04-30T12:30:00.000-07:002011-05-24T14:39:42.684-07:00Park BumsDaddy was working on the boat so us girls packed up and went to a local pretty big park. We took our bikes, snacks and drinks and made a good half day out of it. It was nice for just me and the girls to get out and play on our own. Madison loved spinning me on this thing that...well....not anything that I am used to seeing on a playground from when I was a kid....that can only be described as a torture devise from playground hell. :o) She spun and and spun me until I was laughing and crying and about to throw up all at the same time. I was begging her to stop. AWWW...I love that girl and her spunk for life. :o)<br />

The girls loved seeing a little bit of downtown while we waited for our car from valet. Here is one of my favorite photos ever, I snapped it as Schuyler and the girls were going by on the train. He is such a good daddy!!!!<br />

While everyone was getting fancy'd up and heading to church and relatives houses....we packed up with mamaw and papaw and headed to the beach. The beach was covered in seaweed (welcome to Galveston) and the wind was crazy insane...but we had a great little get away. Might even opt for a non traditional Easter for now on. I don't know...we will see. :o)<br />

Rush soccer is a little more advanced than the league she was in before and and a lot more aggressive. She really has learned a lot this seasson and starting to show some good improvement We look forward to many more Rush Soccer seasons with out little soccer player. :o)<br />
