Blogging and more...

I have decided that I'm never really sure of what to write about when I log on here. It seems I log on with the intentions of "going to blog about something"~I just never quite make it to that point!! I pop around to different blogs and I guess check them out just to see what others are blogging about...I've come to the conclusion that a person could blog about darn near ANYTHING and EVERYTHING and it would be alright. Whew! And I was worried that I might sound stupid! :) ANYWAY...now that I got that out of the way. What I had intended to write on here was several different things...then I wondered if I should blog about them separately~who knows? Who cares? Does anyone keep track of that? Not I. So...on the 23rd we had an appointment to get our pictures taken. I was SO excited!!! It was going to be our 1st "Family Photo"!! It didn't seem to be a big deal to the boys or to Shon...but it was to me! I wanted it to be "just so"~Darik didn't get that at all, he didn't understand why he couldn't wear what he wore every day and just "be normal". So, I went to Lincoln, dragging them with me (they complained the entire time) looked around~I wanted a vest for me, with a turtleneck, then Casey decided he would like to wear a vest too. Darik was having NO PART of a vest! So, he chose a long sleeved shirt. Which was fine, as did Shon. This was all on Saturday the 22nd. Yeah, I know...I like to do things on short notice. Got home and wouldn't you know it-Darik refused to try his shirt on at the store and decided to put it on at home (to prove it really would fit) and it did NOT!!! I was furious. I had to go back. I knew that I should have got the other one...however he swore up and down that "it would fit". *sigh* After the clothing fiasco, the rest of the evening went smoothly, the boys had gotten their hair trimmed that morning so...all was good. Sunday the 23rd, the day of the pictures-I had to work a few hrs in the morning-but the pictures weren't until 2pm, so I figured that would be alright. I worked from 9-11:30 and then sped home, changed fixed my hair, make-up, got the kids and hubby going and hopped in the car. Off to Nebraska City to meet up with the photographer. We were meeting Kathy True at Arbor Lodge...that's where we decided to get our photos taken at. It was about 50 degrees out. Not too bad, could've been worse! (Shon and Darik later decided that they sure wished they would've gotten vests!!) LOL! We met up with Kathy and she started snapping pictures. I never told the boys how many pictures she would take. They thought it was going to be "A" picture..."1" :) Boy were they surprised. I bet she took around 80-90 pictures. It was great!! We have never had pictures taken like that before. I loved the background for it-Arbor Lodge in the fall is beautiful!!! All in all...it was fabulous!!
