Happy Birthday Momma!

Most of you know, I'm a momma's girl! Always have been and always will be, my mom is my very best friend and one of my favorite people in the world. Her 60th birthday was last week, so my brother and I decided to be coniving and throw her a big party....a surprise one at that! She is always planning things and doing things for others, so we thought it was about time we did something for her........SHE HAD NO CLUE, it all went perfectly fabulously wonderful!!!



She had NO idea! She thought she was coming to karate....we didn't even tell the boys until that morning.....for obvious reasons!



We also had sort of a "Life in pictures" book made for her. She L-O-V-E-D it!

Mom has been there for evey one of my big moments, she was there and cut the cord on eahc of the boys....even the lil shocker Corbin, below.. :-)

I am so happy that I was able to give her an inkling of how much she is loved and appreciated!

More photos.....

So......my neighbor had her baby. She is adoreable and a wonderful subject to photograph....


I love the footsies!



Big sister Payte had to get in on the action :-)

Again with the feet....a special one for daddy....

Sooooo bright eyed :-)

Sweet naked baby.....gotta love it!

So I have decided.....drum roll please.....

So, I LOVE photography. I love being able to catch moments and memories that will last forever. So.......I have decided to make it a hobby and maybe even a side job! So, in the off chance that I could EVER be successful.....I am going to call my photography business/hobby "Memories by Marissa".....now just have to come up with a logo! :-)

My friends little man, the day after he was born.....I love baby tootsies!

Payte was having a good time enjoying a summer evening....

Big sissy wanted to get in on the action...

So sweet!

My journey into Photography....

Baby Em's Room all ready for her arrival!


I promised her I wouldn't post any with her face.....but she is so beautiful in this pic...I HAD too!



Pink!




One of my faves!





I really like this one too!

Whew...a lil update!

So....I made it through 3 days of the VLCD of the HCG plan. I will say that I did lose 6 lbs in 3days, which IS impressive, however, I started having chest pains and palpitations....so needless to say my cardiologist had a fit and ordered me to stop ASAP. So its back to the Weight watchers, I haven't gained back any of the 6 I have lost, but I was so hoping for that magic fix! Anyway, I have found something that interests me now, fun stuff, PHOTOGRAPHY! I have a few pics that I have worked on here and there, and a actual maternity belly session that turned out great! I am looking forward to doing more babies, families and maybe a wedding or two to get some more practice in...and hey, who knows I might have a nice little enjoyable side job! Who knows!?
