PHOTO SHOOT

This is the camera Scott got me for my birthday. I haven't had a lot of time to play with it since my birthday and it has been so hot. I haven't wanted to get outside. Today was going to be so nice, I got Coco all gussied up and took her around town. My idea was to do a sort of Trash the dress series. I got the idea from a wedding blog. There is a photographer in New York that takes the bride out after the wedding into places that would be out of place for a wedding dress. Sometimes they actually ruin the dress by getting it wet and dirty.

So I found Coco a fancy dress at a resale shop for 8 bucks. I didn't want to buy anything expensive for her to play in. I added a denim jacket and cowboy boots. The dress is a really pale pink so it doesn't show up that well in the photos. I thought she was adorable and she had fun playing Mama's model.

This is one of my favorites taken down town in front of a old abandoned building.

I love this one too.

We went to the park. The picnic table was her catwalk and boy did she work it.

I took my card into Bedfords and did some editing and did some in black and white. They are going to turn out beautiful. Amazing what a good camera will do for you. Bedfords machine was down, so I don't get them until Monday :(

Scott also bought me photography classes for September. Can't wait to go to those and learn more. Mother got me Adobe Photo Shop, I need to get that loaded, but I will need a class on that too!

Hope ya'll are enjoying your Saturday. It has been raining since noon here, but I am not complaining, we need it.

Blessings,

It's Almost Time

For Coco to go back to school. In 7 days we will be back to early bedtimes, homework, etc.

Coco is not ready. She is in no hurry to go back. I know she will change her mind once she gets back in the swing of things. She will love being with her friends everyday.

My favorite thing is shopping for school supplies. I love brand new crayons, pencils and all those notebooks!

We will be going shopping for some clothes and shoes this weekend.

Coco informed me that she wants sneakers instead of Nike shoes.

What is the difference, I ask? She will show me when we go shopping, she said.

Do you know the difference?

Stay tuned for the reveal next week. Who knows what we will come home with!

Of course I will have photos of it.

On to other things. I have been up this morning since 5am. I went to bed at 7pm last night after being up until 3am the night before. On my last post I requested prayer and I just couldn't sleep on Tuesday night. My mind just wouldn't shut down.

So i have been up ready blogs and now it is 6:23am. Time to go get ready for work.

Hope everyone has a great day.

I don't have anything to talk about today. I think the heat is sucking my brain dry!

Relief is on the way.

Thursday it is supposed to be in the 80's!

Girls we just might have to get our boots out! Wouldn't that be fantastic!

I for one am ready for my fall/winter boots! I am tired of sandals. Did I spell sandals correctly??? Anyways, ya'll know what I mean.

I have a prayer request. I don't want to get it into all the details here but I have a situation with a person in my church and I just don't know what to do about it. I want to resign from everything I am involved with in our church and become a pew sitter and wouldn't satan just love that. I am not going to let him win but, I am wrestling with my flesh and having a really hard time letting God have control. Because I know he knows about all of this and knows much more about the situation than even I do. I know He is in control but I/we are not letting him do his thing.

So ya'll please pray that I can give this to God and that he will show me his will and guide me to do what will bring him the glory.

Thank you. I feel better just typing that out!

I started out just gonna make a quick post about the weather b/c my mind was on that other thing and God took it a whole different direction! Isn't he awesome. See I told you He knows!!!!

Praise be to him!

Hi my name is coco. I bet youv'e herd of me.Here's my mom.

Isn't that the cutest thing ever!

It is obviously time to get back to school and spelling.

Not much going here at the Cocomama house!

It is too HOT to do anything! I walked out of the house this morning to go to church and the air just felt thick. Good ole Arkansas humidity!

We will get out later for church this evening and I think it will be time for a dip in the pool when we get home.

Have you had a lazy weekend too?

Where did my day go?

I had so many plans for today.

Well it didn't work out so well.

The morning started off slow. A couple loads of laundry. A couple blogs read!

That is where the problem lies! Blogging sucked me in and I sat here at the computer for a couple of hours.

Then I put my new Sugarland cd in and turned it up really loud and started cleaning my kitchen and rearranging. I have so many veggies I had to find a place for them.

I worked in there for 2 hours. Then I made lunch. Very fancy, hotdogs and raviolis!

I shouldn't have sat down because after eating I got really lazy and decided I would take a little nap. 3 hours later Coco peeks into my room and I am shocked they let me sleep that long.

So my day was shot. Nothing got done except the kitchen and it already needs cleaning again.

Since I will be up to the wee hours of the morning I guess I could go start something!

Do I want to ?

No

I don't feel like tv either and I have spent enough time with blogs today.

I am going to go wonder around and see what I can get into!

Problem fixed

Plus she has a cool blog so go check her out.

Thanks Betsy

TGIF

Yea it's finally Friday.

We have nothing planned for the weekend.

That is such a glorious statement.

I hope to use the time to get some crafting done. I have several projects that I need to start/finish.

Like Coco's chandelier that I bought at OOPS weeks ago.

Also want to have a garage sale but I haven't gotten anything ready. I am optimistic that I can get ready for one this next weekend.

I am a real pack rat. I will be one of those Grandmas that has a collection of bread ties. Hey, i don't save the bread sacks, yet.

Its gonna be HOT around here to. They are calling for 101 on Monday. That just makes me want to stay inside.

Who knows what we will do. The world at our fingertips.

Oh I just heard from the MAN. We have nothing to eat. No bread and Coco ate all the raviolis. I guess we are going grocery shopping! Maybe I can get him to go!

Gotta go before the queen comes home from swimming with Nana and Papa.

Have a relaxing weekend!
