That's right ladies and gents, Life Happens will be performing in the circus! If you happen to be in the Austin area on Saturday, October 20th, you can see her LIVE for one performance only!!!!! ***thundering applause**** So when I came home about 20 min ago, there was a message on my answering machine from J-Bird (of trapeze-experience.com) and he reminded me that there will be a performance show on Saturday (5:30 pm at the Crossings, if you are in town) and then...... ......he...

So I am in charge of a money making scheme...ahem... fundraiser ...for the unit. We will use the money for Christmas care packages, welcome home baskets for the single soldiers, and the welcome home banners, party etc. So here is my delemia. I don't want to pull out my tree yet. (even though HW thinks I do) So I can't just take a patriotic Christmas picture and i had to digitally make something. What do you think? Too simple? Too fake? Help me out here please! I am not a pro at th...

but how hot can I be when my ride is tricked out with 2 carseats in back? Actually this joe was just to 1)fulfill HW's request for something new...and 2) to announce that I am back in trapeze!!! Woo Hoo! I have to take it easy...I have school and work and work and the other work and being a mom to worry about and the incredible $$$$ that it would cost, but I can treat myself once a month. But since I snagged a nifty gig today and made a cool $100...I'm headed down this weekend!...

Imagine if you will..... A sad, dejected look on a normally cheerful face. Big blue eyes blinking away tears. Heartbreaking music filling the background. Are you feeling sympathetic? (If not, go look at some puppies and come back) I received sad news today. I will no longer be able to trade massages for trapeze lessons. One of the instructors is now dating a physical therapist who lives closer....and I can't afford fly time without trading. *insert sad face here* I hav...

Random Facts about HW on his birthday. He is 13878 days old today. He is 9 years older than his wife. I gave him a black eye once. He has no tattoos, no piercings, doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs.... He can lock a grown man up at parade rest and make him cry....he just doesn't do it very often. He has a GTO so his cool points are so high that driving a minivan isn't an issue. He wants a flame job on the van. He reads voaraciously. He still plays with LEGOs and w...

I'm sure you have all heard of the rhyme...."step on a crack, you'll break your ______'s back" Well, my 5 year old decided to teach my 2 year old. They took it very seriously and jumped over EVERY CRACK on the way to school. 9 blocks of cracks. It's a good thing we left a little early this morning! Last night, I was awakened by my daughter at 1 am. "Mommy, I have to pee." We took a trip to the bathroom and after tucking her back into bed, I drifted back to sleep...... only to...

I've shot a few weddings now and I've done family pictures and children in bluebonnets, but this is my first paid studio shot of kids. I have her 5 brothers and sister to shoot later this week and then....drum roll please....a "formal" family group shot. (Can you say stress?) I know the mom won't like this one, but I thought it was adorable....it's from the "warm-up" shots I took to get her relaxed before we did the posed shots that her mom wanted.

So I saw a challenge posted on Flickr to submit a picture to a "stupid human tricks" group. I wanted to post something really fun and cool, but I forgot to take the picture immediately after I worked out and by the time I got around to taking the picture, my muscles were too cold to do much (plus I was at muscle failure so I couldn't hold a trick long enough to get really good shots in) ...but one day, after I teach a yoga class, I think I will REALLY stretch out and do some contortion-esqe ...

This is just a list to get you started....anybody else have another brilliant solution? 1. If you are choking on an ice cube simply pour a cup of boiling water down your throat. Presto! The blockage will instantly remove itself. 2. Avoid cutting yourself slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold while you chop. 3. Avoid arguments with the Mrs. about lifting the toilet seat by using the sink. 4. For high blood pressure sufferers: simply cut yourself and bleed for a few...
