NO such luck!

i didnt get the job.

ugh!

which sucks but .....
things happen for a reason!

my monkey!

Long time no post.

I have been busy.

I have an interview tomorrow with School Portrait Group.

to be a school portrait photographer.

yay!!! hopefully good news. we will see.

i came home today after a crappy crappy crappy night at work.

my little boy was in the floor in the kitchen playing. my husband was making cake.

will had some of his food out of his cabinet. ( his level. i let him choose what to eat.)

he was playing with the jars.

we started playing together rolling them to each other... (as good as a 8 month old can)

then i introduced him to the corner lazy susan cabinet. he was facinated that it went round and round. he saw a shiney metal bowl and grabbed it when the lazy susan came to a complete stop.

and we played with that.... the rest of the time. we had fun. a good end to the night. plus the chocolate cake was also a plus. (thanks hunny!)

i took a picture of our time together...

i think he is the cutest baby boy i have ever seen. but im biased!

my time with him really made me feel better. he was getting really tired and soon was asleep.

i should really get to bed. interview is at 9:30 am.

night all!

New News!

Well, to update you all... I got my camera for mothers day! WHAT A FANTASTIC PRESENT! I LOVE MY HUSBAND SO MUCH!!! I had my first photoshoot 2 days after receiving it! :-)

Those are from Sunday!

I think I could become good at this.

Im going to call my photography business lauraleet Photography...

its my first and middle name together and my last initial.

it sounded good to me since i apparently cant come up with anything else!

another update since my last post ... my parents did end of giving me thier car. Very nice. We sold our toyota! YAY... no more car payment.

We are going to north carolina in july for a weekend vay-kay.

Im very excited about this.

I will take lots of pics. :-)

thats all for now... :-)

A few things....

As known, I had bought a Nikon SLR D40 camera. I took it back. However, I am not begging my husband to let me get it again. Phillip and Charin both have awesome cameras now. Im thinking "Why on earth did i take mine back, Im retarded!" So he said we would talk about it. I cried. I want it back. I have some of the best pictures of Will... and I took them with that camera!

Will as teeth now. Ok two bottom ones. They have broke the gums and are clearly visible.
Isnt that scary? Hes almost 5 months old. As of April 12th he will be....

Know how you can blow air between your lips and they vibrate? Makes a "motorboat" sound?
Will has been doing it all day. He will take a deep breath, get his cheeks full of air (they expand to large bubbles.. its very cute) and blows his hardest! Its sooooo adorable! He is the cutest ever! He laugh at him because he's just amazing us everyday with adorable stuff.... hes so funny!
Makes me sooooo excited to see all the other cute and new stuff he is going to be doing soon. But! At the same time makes me so very sad.... hes growing so fast. Time is flying by... Its hard to take a moment just to savor....

Went to Springfield this past weekend. Tianna and I had a blast. Got up early... HA. We were pooped by the second store. Had to get a starbucks pic-me-up!
Shopped forever! Had dinner with a great friend of mine.... Had a blast doing that.
Had the hardest time driving home it was sooooo foggy!
Definatly want to do it again soon.... minus the fog!

I missed my boy... He was sleeping when I got home from my trip.... I guess he heard me talking because he woke up and started crying... I came in the bedroom and he was laying on our bed. He saw me and got the biggest smile on his face! Melted my heart! I love being a mommy!

I bought him tons of stuff. I got him some outfits and shoes. My favorite find was his Baby AIRWALKS, from Payless. They are so cute. Blue with green, white and black plaid stripes. SOOOOOO CUTE! Still a little big. But he will get there someday!

My parents got settled on thier house today. The insurance FINALLY totalled it! They are tearing it down 7:15 am in the morning! We are supposed to go watch it. I think Im going to cry! I grew up in that house. Seriously! I dont know if I even want to think about it! Its not like they moved where you can drive by and be like "Look Will, thats where mommy grew up..."
No! The whole house is coming down. It will be like it never exsisted! Im so very sad now!

Im not expecting to get something out of the settlement of the house. But, I think my parents may pay off our car, or give us theirs. Although thiers is a standard. Hmmm.. not sure I actully want a standard but .... it might be ok. I am pretty good a driving a stick! Or they may not do anything. Which is their right, by all means. Its their hard earned money that went into that house.
But either way I would be grateful for anything. I know they always take good care of us. They are amazing parents in that aspect. Always there when we need them. Im just glad it got taken care of and maybe now my mom and dad can rest and relax!

So we have plans to move to the Little Rock area. So to change the subject. We want to move to MAUMELLE. Which is a good area! The apartments we are wanting arent outrageous at all in price. They are no more than 650 a month and 250 deposit. That would be a 2 bedroom 1 or 2 bath. The apartments are called Riverpointe. It has a workout center/gym. Free tanning. 2 pools and has a play area for kids. All the apartments are NICE. I mean ..... modern nice. NEW!! Stainless appliances avalible in certain apartments. Modern... I like modern! I cant wait to see if they are like they say and show online, in person! We are hoping to go look in a few weeks. Randy said that he found a job that he thinks would be good. Which is with the postal service. Which means great benifits. We have discussed when we get down there and he gets settled in and his insurance kicks in for us. Trying to have another baby. Of course its going to be a mess trying to convince a doctor that I am going to need fertiltiy pills. Thats how I got Will. Maybe if I bring all my medical work. Oh and dont worry when we go down there... I wont be working. IT will be nice! Spending all my day at home with my son! :-) Being a housewife in a complete apartment. No constuction anywhere.... just perfectness!

IM READY!!!
BRING IT!


Ok well... its getting late and Im supposed to get up early to go see the house being torn down!
So I better be getting on to bed.

GOOD NIGHT!!!

Saturday and Sunday FUN!!

Wow. Aparently I have been busy. I havent posted anything in nearly a month.
We began to give Will baby food.
Like:

Bananas
Pears
Sweet Potatoes
Rice Cereal

HATES:
Sweet Peas.

I dont like them either so I dont exactly blame him. :-S

I have a date tomorrow. Rekindling some friendships. My good friends Summer and Nicole from HS. Ahh.. the good old days. When we were soooo dramatic about the littlest stuff. I think we are big girls now though... :-)
We all 3 have kids ... and are married. How CRAZY is that!?
We are supposed to go to chilis to have dinner and a few drinks. Should be good fun

Nothing more to report...

Peace OUT!!

CrazyNESS!!

I took the camera back. I felt so bad for spending 600 dollars on a camera. But now.... I freakin' wish I hadent... I miss it. I want to take pics of my boy... but my camera sucks! Besides... the camera took amazing pictures.

Ok well... other than that, life has been hecktic.

Tornado hit gassville. My parents had to move. Im out a baby sitter for the moment due to it. I am hoping to get back to normal soon but it wont be until everything gets finished with the property that their house is on. So it could be another month. Booo!

But its been a blessing. My parents live in MH now so.... its been nice to see them more. They live so close now.

I also took back that baby high flyer toy for Will and got a bumbo.

See how cute he is.....he likes his hands.....

I cant believe how adorable my little boy is!!!

I love him sooooo much! Hes a bundle of fun!!

My little Will-Man!!!!
