eye yeye yeye




i Can't believe what a terrible blogger i have become. Seriously it's rediculous, 2 blogs a month? I got to get better at this for sure.

Things have been crazy the last couple weeks. We had a sitter come in and look after the kids. that was great she played with them, took them out and cleaned up thier messes in the evening. There were times that I would come home and wouldn't even have known what they had for lunch because it was all cleaned up!

Also, Moira has just been reffered to surgery for her heart. It should take place in Oct/Nov. We are happy that we are finaly look at the end of her congenital heart defect. yay, one day she will actually have a normal halloween and be one of those kids who can go to summer camp.

In the last four weeks I have also really started to change my lifesyle. I don't know if it's the whole turning 30 thing, or the fact that I am becoming more vain or what but I have started making healthier choices. no, no, no, I still drink...Oh yeah(i'm not crazy!) and smoke after I have had those drinks. I have started running 3 times a week, doing stregnth training on the other days and watching what I eat. Can you believe that I used to consume almost 800 calories alone on coffee beverages a day! Ahh! No wonder I got so much done. Iwasn't able to do any cardio outside today so I opted for pilates. (which I thought was really wimpy until I had to work my butt and then I cried a little) Then I tried the carmen electra strip aerobics. Hmm I kind of felt dumb sashaying like that in my living room. Not only that, I know I didn't look like her when I was doing it. I reminded myself of that really drunk older woman that dances at the bar byherself (because no one can get near her as she will knock them over) Hopefully it will go better the next couple times around and if not then I will hang up my "stilletos" and stay with good old Richard Simmons. At least that way I can be assured that I am the hottest in the room. haha.

Cooling Off














I have been debating for awhile on whether or not to get the kids a pool. Today I bit the bullet and while they were at church Marty and I headed of to Sears to get them one. We had a great Sunday, probally one of the best in awhile. It took Marty and i 20 minutes to start filling the monstrous thing with water and then about 4 hours to fill it up. But we all had a great time, I think we spent over four hours in it today.

this is probally why I am off only a few times a month

Wow. I must say that I have had way too much wine and relaxation so far this weekend. It's funny because i barely see the words that I type as they are so blurry. Hmm would that have been the red wine or the beer that I had before that make them so wiggley. take care, I am over and out for the night.

Commandmants for a Happy Month

















Commandments For Happy Month

1. Thou shall have a large housewarming party-That was a ton of fun. We had eight people stay over that night and we went to bed when the birds were singing. That's when you know you've been to a good party. I also got 12 bucks when I returned the bottles from that party
2. Thou shall not have your husband crash up your brand new car.-This one is definately a bummer considering that it is only four months old. But hey-that's what insurance is for. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
3. Thou shall not phone your bestfriend on her 30th birthday.-This one only makes you feel like a shlep for a few weeks and not show your face on yours or her blogg because you feel like a real asshole. Sorry Tanya. Happy belated birthday!
4. Thous team should not lose the semi-final game-What's this one about? I will let you know when germany actually figures out where they went wrong. Crap!! Now I have to choose between Italy and France.
5. Thou shall quit fretting about the upcoming wedding and having nothing to wear.-I solved this one quite easily, I went to a dress maker and am having one made. Hopefully this works out. I can't help but be skeptical as the tailer did at one point call it a nightie.


That's the month in a nut shell. Wow, let's hope July is better.

About Me

My photo
I started taking pictures of my kids when I started scrapbooking. I really wanted my pages and pictures to look like the sample ones in the scrapbooking magazines. It took a lot of hard work, researching, learning and a few hundred roles of film but I got the results that I wanted. Portraiture quickly became a passionate hobby. Finally, in February 2007 I opened Madchen Studios. The studio has become the perfect outlet to feed my obbesion with perfect photographs.
