booty-licious

Check out that booty!

baby booty + jeggings = YUMMY!

new office pics

It was time for some fresh stuff for the walls, etc.

This is just a start.  And I need more guy models!

This is part of the reason for my blog neglecting.  Man, what I would do to be able to freeze time for awhile while I catch up on everything!

I love doing studio stuff.  I love the control.

I love the clean backdrop.  The simplicity.  The crispness.

I don't love the hours of editing.  Two big thumbs down to that!

My 40th

I turned 40 back in September.

It's a big one.  And definitely one I won't ever forget, that's for dang sure!

Here's what happened.....

I went on a girl's trip with my 2 best friends, Rebecca & Michelle, to LA for the weekend.  The plan was to go to Magic Mountain on my birthday. 

 We bought our tickets online the day before.  We drive 45 minutes up to Magic Mountain to find that it was not going to open that day!

Whaaat?!!!

Here we are at the Magic Mountain gates.  Bummin'.

So then we decide to hit Knotts Berry Farm instead.

There was hardly anyone there.

It. was. AWESOME.

We rode roller coaster after roller coaster.

And I loooove roller coasters!

We rode this one I think 7 times.

There was no line, so we stayed on & kept riding it til we were sick.

Literally.

Not me, but Bek & Michelle were throwing up in the bushes on the way out.

I don't think I've ever laughed so hard.

It was the BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!!!

until....

We were leaving Knott's and all three of us were looking at our cell phones trying to figure out how to get back to our hotel room, when we slammed into a stopped car.

I'm pretty sure I broke my nose. It swelled like a motha. I could see it without having to look in a mirror.

And 2 nice black eyes. More like purple.

And my leg had hit the middle console thing.

Look at it!...

I had no idea something could swell so grotesquely like that!

But luckily it was just fine.  I could totally walk on it.

In fact, the next day, after we had a rental car all squared away, we hit the beach, and the shopping district in downtown LA before we headed home.

And then I spent the next couple of weeks imagining that people probably thought I was a domestic abuse victim.

Like I said, definitely a birthday to remember.  :)

Someone's been sleeping in my bed....

....and she likes to snuggle & make binkie sucking noises all night.

This phase needs to be over soon.  I can't sleep!

My how she's grown

Our little peanut......

....is now a big, huge peanut....

....who was not too happy about being put in a bucket.

 

When you have a tree-full of lemons....

.....you just have to make lemonade.

And when you want to make some money without having to do extra jobs....

....you have a lemonade stand!

I love how they brought a garbage can out.

And business was pretty good!

I read somewhere lately a list of things every kid should do at least once during their childhood, and 'have a lemonade stand' was one of them.  So Max and Zane can check that one off their list.

Now Gus, he has some sort of stand going in our front yard at least twice a week.

And it's not just lemonade.

He & Jasper will scrounge up all sorts of things to sell.

They tried to sell me my own necklaces the other day.

And there's always lots of great signage.

These guys kill me.

Stop by sometime.  You just might score a really good deal on something I may not know is missing until it's long gone!  :)

Caroline, where are your toes?
