Where Do I start...I have started a photography business with the help of ITS (the boys Karate School). They offered for me to take their pictures for advertising and stuff for barter and they would put my name on all photos and advertise in their studio for me. So I have a lot going on there. I have projects coming out my ears at the moment. I will be shooting their School Portraits the first week in August So I am flipping out about the quality and stuff.
This venture though is going to kill us financially if I don't start to make some money ( I will be getting paid for the portraits). We had to get a new tower for our PC cuz the laptop was not even trying to run my Software. It is all good now though. All I need to get by August 4th is a flash, a green screen, some lights, a new battery, maybe the grip, a new flash card and that should be it for now. LOL I am laughing but totally serious.

So as for the rest of my life. This kids are out of school for the summer. Need I say more. No really I can't wait for them to get back to school so I can get some work done.
Ava has reached terrible 3s... She is defiant, crabby and sneaky. She also has Daddy and the boys wrapped around her tiny finger. Which leaves me to be the mean one and not put up w/ the bull. On the flip side though she is at a fun innocent age where she can say everything but not understand everything she says and I don't want her to get older. She has a great vocabulary too that includes but is not limited to weeinor, who-ha, Singing the big butts song by Sr. Mix a lot.. yeah I am proud *rolling eyes* thanks Boys!! She will belt out that song at the most inappropriate times too like when we are at ITS or the quiet doctors office and is so proud of her self while the boys are a giggling their asses off and I am trying to shhhh her though the whole thing. FUN TIMES
Keegan is my 8 year old going on 13. He woke up w/ an attitude this morning and is not talking to anyone unless it is w/ a you are all the stupidest people on the planet tone. This tone will soon get him put back to bed or made to do chores.. which I have little time to do So I think I will make him do some things I need to get done. On the other hand he is very helpful and sweet when he wants to be and OH So smart. He is so different because what most kids want to do when they grow up is not anything like what he wants to so. He said he wants to be a scary mask maker or After we got done watching National Treasure, you would have thought he would want to go on a Treasure Hunt but instead he said he would want to build booby traps.. What kind of kid says that.. He has a very artistic mind and I really hope he utilizes it instead of sitting in a cubical. I want him to be happy and I don't think office work will make him happy.
He was Diagnosed back in April w/ JRA ( Juvenal rheumatoid arthritis). Only in his knees so far. He is on Medication and seems fine w/ it, well this is the second medication he has been on. The first gave him an allergic reaction. Other than that he is fine. Keegan is up for his purple belt too.
The boys are in Matt rats (which is a mini MMA class) they are basically teaching my boys to tacitly fight. They are also in x-treme team which is doing really cool kicks and flipps. Both boys excel in both classes. they are both strong and quick and very focused!! The best part is the whole thing teaches them a lot of responsibility for themselves and respect for others.
Shane is a remarkable kid too. ANYTHING he puts his mind to do he WILL accomplish. He wants to play a certain song on the piano he will sit there and figure it out until he knows it. He has learned, since school has been out, how to flip onto a skateboard, this zoingo boingo thing (I'll post pictures of that), how to ride his bike no handed, and how to Zoingo boingo onto the trampoline and off again. Not to mention all the video games he has mastered including expert on Guitar Hero. Oh and then there is the guitar.. he is slowly learning to play that too. Hehe It is SO much fun to watch this kid. He is so loving, well to me anyway. He is also having listening problems which has more to do w/ my lack of consistency lately and not following though. But I recently instilled a routine that has helped us all. the house is cleaner and the kids are behaving a lot better now that they know what is expected of them.
Then there is My wonderful husband. he is very high Cholesterol So we are going though a whole life style change to make sure he dose not suffer the same fate as both his parents. I want to grow old w/ him and I am going to do everything in my power to make sure that happens. But unfortunately it is in his hands for the most since I on see his about 4 hours a day at the most.
I know there is lots more going on w/ us. Like my mom is now completely in her new place and settled. Mike is retired. Jason got his own apartment in Ann Arbor. we are help him move this weekend. Stephen and Little Mike both got calls for GM. So my whole family is in a huge change right now but it is all for the better and well deserved!!! We spent the 4th up at their house and it was like a cottage vacation. Very surreal.
This is old and saved as a draft..but I am going to post it anyhow..unfinished...
