Last weekend My friends and I went to a wedding shower for one of our friends. It was just a small shower with a few of her sister in laws because she is already married and we didn't get a chance to throw her one before the wedding. We all dressed her up in her toilet paper wedding dress and of course Kennley was right in the action eating it as fast as we could put it on her. Then on Saturday morning....Way to early for a saturday.....we all went and played basketball. It was so much fun, but man it has been so long scince I have played. Our friend Tiffany is getting her personal training certificate in a couple months so she has had us on a couple days a week work out routine, which has been awesome. She literally kicks my butt every time. So That was the reason for the basketball....to switch it up a little! Can't wait for this Saturday, football with all the hubbys!

FALSE ALARM....

So, I just thought I would post this because now we are all laughing about what happened at our house tonight. I had just got done makeing dinner, chicken noodle soup, and we all sat down to eat and watch TV. All of a sudden all of the smoke alarms in our house went off. We all looked at eachother and I looked over at the stove to see if anything was burning. Nothing. We walked down the hall and could smell smoke, so I ran to my phone and called 911. The thought that ran through my head was what do I grab? Everything we have is in this house! I ran outside with Kennley to check for flames on the roof or comeing from the attic while I was on the phone to dispatch. At that time Brent and my brother were checking the entire house for smoke. A few minutes later here come the ENTIRE Syracuse city fire and police departement......no lie, there were 4 fire trucks. We were then told to get out of the house! I seriously was paniced! All the firemen were all geared up and drug the firehose in the house to check for flames. At that time a neighbor came and took me and Kennley over to his house to get out of the cold. I swear I was there forever! They had turned off the power and the gas to the house and checked every square inch of it and found NOTHING! Well, they did find a small gas leak in the basement near the water heater but no smoke and no flames. I was so releived to hear they found nothing, but on the other hand it still makes me nervous. Why did the smoke alarms go off and why did we smell smoke down the hall near the attic? The fire departement said it could have been an outlet that blew and sent smoke up the wall, or it could have been an electrical wire that blew a fuse and the smoke from that set the alarms off. So, at the time it was very scary and very intense, and I am so thankful that nothing serious happened!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, my BaTHs!

So, Bath time has turned into a nightly ritual at our house. It seems to help Kennley sleep better if she has a bath before bed, and if she sleeps better, WE sleep better. And the best part of it, is she ABSOLUTLEY LOVES it. She is going to be a little fish this summer. The funniest thing to watch is when the faucet is running, she will stick her face in the running water and then just laugh. What a fun age! Man how would it be to be 10 months again! I am enjoying every minute of my baby growing up, but WOW, where does the time go?

Photo Shoot.....

I did a photo shoot for some good friends of mine this last weekend, and they were such good sports cause it was so cold out! Here are just a few of my favorites(for now I will post some pics on my blog until I get one set-up specifically for my shoots) Hope you enjoy, and feel free to send some feedback my way!

Kennley month 9....

WOW, Kennley is 9 month's already.....I can't believe it! She has grown up so much just in the last month. I have to say month 8 was a big one for her. She said Dada and Mama within a couple days of eachother and always repeats it when she see's Brent and I, she started crawling and is all over the place, and got her two top teeth which made four total, and today she broke another tooth on her bottom which will total 5.....she is going to have all her teeth by the time she is one if she keeps breaking them, haha. I absolutly love this age. Kennley is the happiest baby I have ever seen.....with smiles from the minute she wakes up till the minute she goes to bed. She loves to explore more than ever, and man is she a talker.....there is never a quite moment when she is in the room!

Just A Preview.....

I have decided to start my own photography business. I absolutly love takeing pictures, and have such a big passion for it. I am so excited to get things up and running, but for now I have decided to post just a few of the pics I have taken recently, until I can get my own webstite going. Enjoy!
