Super Excited

I am soooooooooo EXCITED that MOPS started it's session today! I LOVE my MOPS group! There is nothing better then being around other heart felt, down to earth, good hearted moms! That support system is indeed a glorious thing to be apart of. There is enough struggles and drama in the world, so it is nice to know that there are other moms like me out there ;-) wink wink
I am excited to make this twice a month meeting apart of my schedule again. The Gourleys have remained busy! I am looking for part-time work, perhaps 2 days a week to just get out of the house for a bit. I would love to do something in photography again so we will see how that pans out. Once I get the fundamentals of my camera down, I will be getting very serious about an up and coming business. Let me not get to far ahead of myself just yet, the competition is STIFF out there! I am working on putting a portfolio together, this might take some time.
We have some big parties planned within the next month, two new babies on their way, Blaine's birthday, anniversary, and a couple of trips. I can't wait! Have I mentioned that Leelyn is "saying" mama and dada? Oh yes, he looks at me and says mammma, and the same when he looks at Brian, daddda. Okay so whether or not he knows what he is saying or not, our hearts melt! Love my boys!

A day to just love and play

Let me be honest here, I was up as was Brian all night, no joking- with Leelyn, our teething monster! Blaine was an awesome teether. He never cried, he just drooled. Leelyn, poor baby cries non-stop, poor mama. I just hold him close and say "Lord, you will give me the patience and strength to over-come this" LOL After a long hard night of no sleep I am delirious but fear not, I still took the kids out for some playtime where I captured some sweet shots. I love my boys...Motherhood is full of joys, love, patience, determination, strength, and passion.
Oh and my Godson is going to be a big brother to his little brother! YAY Kia!

Dirty lil' secret/confession

I am addicted to the "underground" world of photography, it is consuming me, this can't be healthy, or can it? PROJECT 365 has taken over.....

There is no stopping me now, the dust forming on my furniture proves the truth.........

Crazy town, no wait Fun Town

Today was Gourley family fun day, whoot whoot. We are running out of things to do, go figure. So we decided to venture out to a place near by called Fun Town. We have driven by it countless times, and Blaine is all about go carts (thanks to mario cart which he plays daily) Well it was hot as heck today but we made the best out of it. Yes, even I gave the go carts a run, I don't want Blaine thinking that his dad is the only "fun" parent, however he reminded me after I drove that his dad was better and faster, PFSH! He just doesn't know I was taking it easy on him!!!! I can't say that we loved this place, but for Blaine, he had a great time and that is what it's all about. If you have ever wondered what the term HOT MESS means, here ya go:<----- Hot Mess! LOL
I start photography classes this Saturday and I am so excited to A- do something for myself for a change, B- Get going and learning about this camera of mine. I am so excited, it has been a minute since I have done anything for myself, whoot whoot! lol Next purchase, photoshop Cs3 and it isn't cheap! Back to saving.......

The love and stress children bring

is a funny thing. Some days I want to pull my hair out, other days I just can't stop playing and kissing on my kiddos. Leelyn is a HANDFUL! He is most adorable and most temperamental, lol

I can't believe he is going to be six months in just a week. Gosh, that is scary. This thread is mainly for the GP's and aunts and uncles that read and still have no idea how to post comments, it's okay Grammy n' Papaw, I am just happy you can log on to read and see LOL

Here is Leelyn playing in his bouncer, and by the way, he only plays in it if I am sitting RIGHT NEXT to him....I love this first shot, I feel like I really captured his deep blue eyes. Here is to the days that I can drop Blaine off @ school, take Leelyn to the gym dc and hit the pool for a nice two hours of peace n' quiet! I DESERVE it! Blessed that I am able to be home with my kiddos, and blessed that there is such a thing as preschool, mwahahahahaha

Our Leelyn, sitting

Our Little Leelyn has mastered the art of sitting for about a week now. I can actually sit him down and walk away, come back 10-15 mins later and there he is, still sitting. YAY for Leelee!! For your viewing pleasure, check out that hair, just like his mamas, curly and brownish red, if it continues, it will be fire red by the time he is 2, lol
