Not much to say..

Ive been in a grumpy mood for the last few days.. so trying not to say too much, for fear of snapping at someone ;)

Ive been applying for jobs like crazy the last few days.. and as much as my parents are hoping we move to NH.. all of the jobs I applied to are an hour away and a few are in different states..

Tim has his "TAP" workshop this week.. Transition Assistance Program... yada yada.. Thursday they are having Employers meet them.. so that is a good thing right?? LOL. Well, we shall see.

I really dont want to stay in Tampa, but secretly am hoping that he does get a good Federal Job out of this.. that would be ideal.

The thing about moving to NH is its So SMALL the job market is TINY comparatively speaking.

Other than that.. Ive been packing some stuff, organizing some more, getting ready to list some stuff on Ebay.. which Ive never done.. but Tim does it all the time.. it is crazy what some people will buy;) One Mans Trash.. lol.

Kids are good.
Wyatt wrote his first and last name today.. along with most of the numbers 1-20. he loves to write all the time now;)
Little Sis- well, she is 2. and I have to keep reminding myself of that... I feel bad for her.. I tell the kids to clean up, and SHE does most of the work, and so they wont get into trouble she will pick up after Wyatt.. WELL, I stopped that today. Totally not fair..
DH's answer to this, was "Well, she has to get used to it, she will be picking up after her own husband one day" *sigh, men... he was totally joking.. but still.
Jakers- this kid is a riot! He has a new game.. he chases Tims Leg/tattoo.. he will run up to it.. swat at it and turn and waddle as fast as he can in hopes of Tim chasing him.. it is adorable!
He has dont leave my sight Mama thing going on right now... Love it, but frustrating at times too.
Thats it around here... have a great night!

Not Much Longer..

and we will be moving!! Tim is going to find out today if he will get his permissive TDY for househunting.. and I really am praying that he does.. That extra income would be really beneficial for the following months..

What else is new? Wyatt can officially write his name ;) Totally cool! He really is so proud... he comes home from Pre K everyday asking if he can do his "homework"

Natalie- she is so into "pretending" these days! Love having tea parties with her.. she is a riot! I love watching her gather all her "friends" and place them where she wants.. then she has to find them a plate, and a snack.. its adorable!

Jakers had some kindof attack of some red spots this weekend.. thought it may be Chicken pox.. but I do believe it was hives.. as to what he is allergic too.. I have it narrowed down.. but am not for certain.. and Im not about to feed him what I think it is to see.. so.. He looks much better now.. and even tho the 'rash' didnt seem to bother him.. he looked horrible :( which in turn made me feel horrible for him ;( On a positive note! he is cheery! Hes into making funky sounds now.. and frequently laughs at himself.. CUTE!!

Tim got his CDL ( class B) but he didnt have to do anything for it.. Which is funny, because I guess that would mean I could have one too.. since I learned and drove all the big clunkers when I was in the AF.. It is funny to think that I learned how to drive a Standard on a 5 ton... and almost backed into the Senior's Van ( that wouldnt of been good)

Tims gotten a few responses to job applications.. and is filling them out daily now.. the sucky thing about wanting to be a cop, is its a process.. and usually begins with a test,then an interview.. background ck.. yada, yada, so its not like he just applies and gets hired.. sucky when we really need to be There for all of that.

Other than that.. there is the big anniversary crop going on over at Scrapaddict
Fun stuff! This is my last week of scrapping full boar.. so Im trying to make the most of it.. and just because Ive never done this before.. Im putting up a "sneek peek" Love this Gin X Paper!
Thats all folks! Have a Splendid Day!!

All about the Hat...



Omgoodness, she really is a little "princess" we went to the mall last night.. something we rarely do.. Natalie was in HOG Heaven when we went into Girls Sections of the few stores we went to.. She was really wanting Every single shoe they had..until she noticed the tights.. this girl would wear Tights everyday of the week if I would let her ;) she saw this hat and HAD to have it.. and yes, I let her ;)

she was so funny.. she woke up this morning and asked if we could go back to the Mall today..

so she asked me to take a picture this morning.. for GRANDPA.. who can say no to that?

Waffles...

Yep. Jacobs "first" word, other than Mama,Dada,Wy Wy, Na Na, Baba and Baby.. LOL.. He is so cute.. the kids had Waffles for lunch (per Natalies request) so I was asking Jakers if he wanted some waffles and he said "waffle" LOL.. and then everytime I said the word after that he would laugh.. gosh, I cant believe he is growing up so fast.

He is so funny. If you ask him for a kiss.. he looks at you and then tries to slobber your face off.. but he does give kisses ;) I have a few pics. I will post them later.

Not too much going on around here this weekend.. Wyatt has a little cold.. I think we are all getting it a bit.. *sigh.. Im hoping to scrap a bit.

More Wedding stuff..

Little bout the wedding.. So what started out as a crazy day, end up great.. TIm and I had to race to the Camera store to buy a new lens for my camera.. note to self.. dont always trust auctions on Ebay.. *sigh..23 days later, I still have not gotten the lens that I had won and purchased.. Lesson Learned.. All in all..that Was a good thing.. because it was So DARK in the Church and the gloomy rain didnt help the light situation at all.. so the lens that I got.. is designed for Low Light situations..ugh. still frustrating tho..
So Tim was driving all of 10 mph on the Freeway.. we had a horrid rainstorm.. and couldnt see 5 ft in front of us.. yeah. not too fun. Made it early still, not by much..
anyways, the bride and groom were very blaise about the whole picture process.. they really couldve cared less about me taking pics.. lol.. but they did pose a bit for me.. most of the ceremony shots came out way too dark..and I was expecting they would. But the Bride and Groom.. didnt want to go redo them after the ceremony.. so we just to some mock shots outside.. which is ok too..
Overall, I got some decent stuff.. not the best, but not horrible either.. and yes, I Learned TONS on what to do next time..
by the time we got to their house for the reception the rain had stopped;)
Anyways, they havent seen these yet.. Rebel is coming to pick them up on Friday.. and I still have 2 CF cards to sort thru.. Im hoping they will be pleased..





Update and some wedding pics...

not too much new going on around here..Im starting to pack up some stuff.. yeah, I dont have to.. but there are certain things that I like to pack myself..if they get broken, then at least I can be mad at myself.. LOL.

So I shot my first wedding this past Friday.. Boy, Did I learn ALOT of what not to do.. lol. it was a very casual wedding.. thank goodness. Overall tho, I had a really fun time... and for future reference.. the next one I do.. I wont be the only shooter;)

Here are a few pics..
