About Me

My photo
I’m a stay at home mother of two beautiful children, Zoey and Zane. I spend most of my days wiping butts and cleaning up…but what can I say I love every minute of it. I love the time I get to spend each day with my children thanks to God and my wonderful husband. This blog is about our daily happenings at the Blakley Ranch. Hope you enjoy!

Seven Months...

I try to take pictures of Zane each month and document his progress. Well, this month Zane is seven months old. This “photo shoot” proved to be a little more difficult as baby boy would not look at the camera. He was too busy eating grass and dirt…hopefully it has some nutrients because he consumed his fair share while I attempted to pry it from his hands. Then the dogs came over to see what was going on and they would not stay out of the pictures…not to mention the fact that Zane could not keep his eyes off of them…which meant his eyes were not directed towards me or the camera. Anyway, this is the best I could do in the photo department.


However, I got one picture I really wanted…do you see what I do?


That’s right…two teeth…one is just breaking the skin! Zane is not crawling yet but he is getting up on his knees. He is able to scoot himself across the floor on his belly…usually in an attempt to get what Zoey has. Zane is still not crazy about baby cereal or food…I think most of it ends up on me…he has learned how to spit and usually does it with a mouth full of food. Zane is holding his own bottle and is still loving bath time. I love these moments!

Contest...

I entered Zoey into the Fresh or Familiar Face contest with Huntsville photographer Jennifer Knapp. Out of 67 entries Zoey is one of the twelve finalist; however, she has some tough competition.


The winner will be determined by votes made by readers like you on Jennifer’s blog, http://www.authentic-images.com/blog/. So please place your vote for Zoey…she is finalist #5. The winner will receive a complimentary session conceptualized by Jennifer herself and a full session album. I would love to win this…but I need YOUR vote!!!

By the way Sara Nash will win a prize too…as I used her as the referral for Jennifer’s site…I found Jennifer’s site through Sara’s blog.

Check out the rest of Jennifer’s great work at http://www.authentic-images.com/.

Thanks everyone for your help!!!

My Summer To-Do List...

I’ve been brainstorming and daydreaming about endeavors that I want to accomplish this summer, and I decided to make a summer to-do list…I figured what better place to voice my undertakings than to my blogger friends.

1. Take Zoey to Sea World
2. Exercise at least five days a week (don’t laugh…ok, it’s funny…but please try to refrain yourself from hysterics)
3. Swim
4. Go on more dates with my handsome hubby
5. Make more time for myself (taking a bath by myself would feel like an accomplishment)
6. Go to the zoo
7. Drink more water
8. Win the lottery (I did say I was daydreaming)
9. Scrapbook
10. Go to the beach

ok, now it's your turn….make a blog post with your summer goals and leave the link to it in my comments area!
