Picture Day

My amazing, talented cousin Jes came to town from California to visit. She as sweet enough to come over to take some pictures of my little ones as well as my two great nieces. It was quite an eventful day. Hundreds of photos, blankets, sheets, poops and pees later we are left with priceless photos. For now here are a few pictures. I have tons more to share. Enjoy! Lily was just nine days old and Alex was a week shy of 3 years old.

Mommas Group

So ever since Alex was born I have been in search of a Moms Group I could join. I haven't had allot of luck finding one I like. One group was full of older Moms with older children, another group got together to go drinking at night ( not my thing), another one was WAY to big and the last one well the leader was flaky and never would return my calls. I also found that many of them charged you to be part of their group. I finally gave up.

Well yesterday while in the shower of all places I thought why search for a group when you could start your own. I know enough Moms to form a group. So here I am brainstorming ideas and seeing if anyone out there would be interested in forming a group. There wouldn't be a charge to join. I don't need to be paid to send out e-mails. I probably wouldn't be ableto make it to every meeting but I would be happy to be in charge of organizing when/where we would meet. So here are my thoughts.

Plan on meeting once a week perhaps switching the day/time so example the 1,3 Tuesday of the month we would meet in the morning, the 2,4 Thursday we could do afternoons. I only suggest this in hopes to accommodate as many Moms as possible. If meeting the same day/time each week would work for the majority we could do that too. You would be welcome to come to all or some of them. No commitment required. Each week we could do a simple play date at a local park, pool or one of our houses. We could have a snack or even meet over a potluck lunch.

Once a month we could plan a field trip out to the zoo, a bounce house, thanksgiving point, Gardner village, boondocks, wheeler farm, the movies etc. something that would cost us money would be more of an all day event.

We could also plan on once a month meeting in the evening Moms only for dinner, a movie, dancing, scrapbooking, stamping, pedicures, anything to get out for the evening.

If you and/or other moms you know would be interested in getting together let me know by posting a comment or sending me an e-mail. Give me your ideas/suggestions and what would work best for you.

If you are anything like me you need some adult interaction once in a while.

I'm leaving you with a few photos from Alex's photo shoot. I got the CD back yesterday so I am having fun deciding what to do with all of them. Here are two cute shots for now. Have a great memorial weekend!

Cutest Baby Pics

I know every mother thinks their baby is the cutest well I am no exception. I finally got my pictures back from the baby day expo. They are stinkin cute!! I still haven't heard who the winners are but I plan on looking into that tomorrow. Do you want to see my cute baby? Well leave me a comment or send me an e-mail and I would love to share the link and our password with you. Who reads my blog anyway.... old friends, schoolmates, family, friends, former SAMie demos, total strangers? I would love to know. According to my Map there are people who read my blog daily and I can only guess who you are because you never comment. You don't have to be a blogger to comment in case you didn't know. All you have to do is click on the comment button below my posting, hit anonymous and type your message and sign your name of course. It's very simple actually!! Just curious who is out there. Hope to show off these cute pictures and get your opinion on which ones I need. Have a great weekend!
