Been awhile but getting a little anxious...

What better way to say... it's almost time to shoot another wedding. This cake shot is from my sister's wedding almost a year ago~ WOW! It's been that long already??? EEK, how time flies. Anyway, Saturday is the day. I'm shooting my third wedding at that point. I'm honestly excited about this one. I am a little freaked because I didn't get the lens I wanted. So I will have to either rent the one I have on hold for me, or do with what I have. I do have a sigma lens that would work, but I'm really not comfortable using that for the group shots. I'm not super impressed with the output of the lens. I wanted to go strictly canon and the lens I wanted was an L lens so maybe, just maybe I'm being a brat, but so be it! It will be mine forever if I purchase it LOL. We're waiting on a check for a printing job we did and it doesn't look promising. The latest I can order that lens is tomorrow before noon. Well, literally 9 hours and 10 minutes from now. It's not looking promising like I said.

Anyway, we went and checked out the place the day before yesterday and it is simply gorgeous there! This will be so much fun, I'm just having fun envisioning the shots I'll get. :o)

Hubby is officially out of school YAY! The girls have 5 more days now. Time is just a flying, I tell ya!!!! Fireworks is starting here in a week or so. Really, we can sell anytime, but we haven't even thought of moving our stand yet though. This should be a good year, there are about 15 less stands again this year. Let's see anything else going on??? nope, not really. I guess I'll head off to bed. Hubby has a early morning meeting to discuss a possible printing contract with photog op for me :O) I, may also be called upon to take pics for the ground breaking of the casino's new golf course too. (heard it through the grapevine anyway.) Who knows if it will come to pass. I should be rested in any case :O) Gnite!

Happy Birthday Cub3!!!

Right about now, I was headed to the hospital to have cub3. My water broke a little after 11pm and it took me awhile to get the other cubs ready and to my Grandma's house. Hubby worked about an hour and a half away from our house at that time and as slow as I was, he made it to the hospital only minutes after I did. I know he was probably driving fast as can be so that has something to do with his time, I'm sure.

It's just amazing to me how time is flying. My baby boy is 4. Happy Birthday!!!!

4 until 4...

Cub3 is only 4 days shy. That's amazing!!! Most people get sad about their babies growing up. I honestly welcome it. I am so much enjoying my cubs as interactive, independent beings. They are just so much fun to hang with, it's great! Sure, there are times I just feel the need to get away, but for the most part they are one of the most enjoyable parts of my day.

The happenings around here. Today was Cub1's all star tryouts she has made up her mind she wants to do it if they choose her. I honestly don't know how we can work it, I hope we can, but I really don't know. The time they are asking of her is just too much during this busy time of year. With fireworks coming up and her joining cheerleading, who knows how this will pan out? I shouldn't jump to conclusions yet, she hasn't even been asked yet, but it still worries me. I like to allow my cubs every opportunity available to them, I just don't know how I can make this "available." We'll see.

Baseball tournament starts today (I'm typing this at 1am and should be sleeping, but hey.) So 9am we will be at the fields cheering for our girls. Cub1 is also supposed to be marching in the parade for band. I emailed her teacher saying it was merely impossible for her to make it, and it won't count against her grade, but it still bums me out. Those would have been good pics. I don't know if I'd want her leaving the first game of the tournament though.

The first day of cheerleading practice is today too. Cub1 is already excused for her baseball tournament, but Cub2 will go. Cheerleading is her thing while Cub1's is baseball, so it only made sense. That's part of the reason it's such a big deal for her being in baseball all stars. She was the only girl out of a majorly "boy" league, that's amazing. She rocks!

Cub2 received an award that stated she was the top 5% of her class. I didn't even know they made those. She's always been given the top 10%, but never the 5%. That's simply amazing to me as well, there are only 24 children in her class. So 5% of that, she's basically the top "1" student. How cool is that??? She tested last week for a "gifted" class, she is already in that program, but this is a whole separate class. We knew she was going to try for it when her time came and since she's in 3rd now, it's her time. She will find out the results next week sometime, hopefully. That's super exciting for her and she makes me ever so proud to even think of the possibilities that she will come across in her lifetime. This will be such a headstart in her academic career :O)

Anyway, I really should jump off of here and catch some z's. That's us though!

Quick PIc...

Here's a pic of Cub2 and my littlest sister (age 12) and her dog Toby. Who knows what they are talking about, but it's gotta be something entertaining~ right? LOL

The happenings around the Cub House... Cub1 was invited to try out for All Stars in Baseball :o) She's one out of 20 in the entire league!! They will have a team of 12, so 8 will not make it. I'm so proud of her!!! She's on a boys baseball league and there is only 4 other girls in the entire league, tops. Go Cub1! She can hang with the guys, no prob.

Of course, here's where the problem lies, she joined cheerleading this year. They are real hard asses on practices and such, they basically said if you miss two practices, you're out. So she's faced with a choice. She still will try out for baseball all stars and if she doesn't make it there's no harm done, of course if she does make it, she's gotta choose. I'm thinking baseball will win out on that one, afterall she is far from a girly-girl. (cub2 in above pic is my girly-girl) Cub1 is just soooo not. I love how different they are though, it makes life interesting.
