This image above is pretty much all I have seen since Tuesday morning. My crazy, never sits still, always on the go, 2 1/2 year old has been debilitated by a nasty virus. He has had a high temp, runny nose, sore throat, all the good stuff! :( It breaks my heart to see him like this. He just whimpers and doesn't know what to do with himself.

I really do. I so want to be a good blogger....I miss it. Writing used to be such a creative outlet for me so why am I not on here more often? An overactive 2 year old? Could be. More like lack of inspiration...I have been delving into the photography realm more lately. Recently I took some engagement pictures for a great couple from my church and I had a blast.

I love the book "A Purpose Driven Life" and I really enjoy Rick Warren. We did this five years ago, but it was right before I started attending this church so we just missed it.

This week is best face photo and I immediately thought of a picture that I took of my 2 year old son Connor last week. He was all bundled up and ready to go outside and play when I snapped this.

I know everyone was waiting with bated breath and losing sleep wondering where I have been...o.k. maybe not...considering it's only really family that ever reads this (if even) HA! Anyway, on top of this being 119 days since I have last blogged, it is also my 100th post.

I immediately thought of this past weekend because I went to the NHRA drag races here in Indianpolis for the first time. My dad goes every year and I have never been, but was able to go this year. Those cars are amazing! They go at least 300mph!!! I was very excited to take some shots at the race, Jenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786416577944262945noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410333115866605215.post-84271174028292687442009-09-04T16:04:00.005-04:002009-09-04T16:17:54.955-04:00Da' Bears!Oh how I looooooove football season!!! My husband is the biggest sports nut I know...seriously, like he is crazy about stats and stuff and can tell you who won the world series or super bowl in like 1956. Some call it geeky...I call it smart. Ha! So needless to say, Jake is happy when football rolls around, because I love to watch it and we root for the same team...the Chicago Bears!!!!!

Basketball trumps football though lately, even though we are constantly telling him to say, "Go Bears!" We will be doing his 2nd bday theme in basketball because honestly, I have never seen a kid so hung up on something. He shoots the ball all day long! He loves it!

I love to take pictures, it's pretty much all I do, and I love any excuse to take more!

I know this has gone around several time and most people have probably heard it, but I really think it such an awesome read and it is something I think is soooo true. There are people in our lives that say to us that "we go to church, so we know what is right". Well, sure, of course we know what is right. We strive to do what is right and follow God's will daily. Does that always happen? No. Jenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786416577944262945noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410333115866605215.post-48128394898811714192009-07-15T20:42:00.004-04:002009-07-15T21:03:30.672-04:00Kids CommonsJake has been able to take several Friday's off this summer because of some extra time he had to burn so one Friday we decided to head up to Kids Commons. It is a children's museum in Columbus about 20 min from where we live. I had heard that it would be perfect for Connor because it was geared a little more to younger kids.

We live right across from a elementary school that is pretty big and they have about three different playgrounds so we are able to go over there when school is out and play. Connor loves it there and it is so close and convenient for us. We love summer...Connor wants to do nothing other than be outside all. the.

When I say my family, I mean my dad and I. :) And by race, I mean the Indianapolis 500. My mom is not a fan of the race by any means, but I have become a fan because of my dad. I actually got my dad tickets about 6 or 7 years ago to his first race, when we lived in Illinois. He was always a fan, but Jenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786416577944262945noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410333115866605215.post-31350891712392964222009-05-13T13:47:00.002-04:002009-05-13T13:53:57.656-04:00Wordless Wednesday"Let there be more joy and laughter in your living"~Eileen CaddyJenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786416577944262945noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-410333115866605215.post-52914048548243450182009-05-10T23:06:00.002-04:002009-05-13T13:55:41.303-04:00Happy Mother's DayI am getting around to my Mother's Day post a little late, seeing as there is only 40 min left to the day. I had a fantastic Mother's day...it started with breakfast in bed by my wonderful husband, followed by a wonderful church service, a loooooooooong nap, and then over to my parent's house.

(Spears, that is)So, yeah, I like Britney Spears...she is and always has been a guilty pleasure of mine.(I get a LOT of flack for this) I have loved her since "Hit Me Baby One More Time". Now, I know that she doesn't have the best voice, or even remotely close to it, but the girl can bust a move and I love that.

Jake came out of the bathroom and took off his wet shirt and threw it in the laundry and was holding Connor and all of a sudden I just thought they looked so cute that I made them stop for an impromptu mini photo shoot with mommy.

The night could not have been more perfect...it was supposed to rain, but luckily it held off. Jake was thrilled to see his name on the big scoreboard, he really got a kick out of it, so that made me happy! on Sunday, we took a drive to a state park in Jenihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00786416577944262945noreply@blogger.com0
