Happy Valentin'es Day! :)

Happy Valentine's Day Everyone! I thought about taking off the RA photography for this blog, but was too lazy this morning to reopen my Photoshop! I know I know... talk about lazy.... ! Well my kiddos slept in this morning and are just starting to stir... so I guess its more a rush then lazyness... maybe. Well enough about that, I hope you all enjoy another day the Lord has blessed you with and enjoy whoever it is you love today! Whether it be your husband, your family, or friends!

Potty

Charles I would say has finally mastered going potty! Not only that going potty by himself... for the longest time he would want me to go with him and hold his hand... literally!!! haha well... thats finally over with.. he will go by himself.. he naps in his underwear.. the only time he is still in a diaper is when he goes down at night. He might be able to hold it all night, but in the morning he wakes up quietly and plays. Not sure what time he wakes up.. but he doesn't leave his room until we open the door for him. Which is nice.. but at the same time if he has to go he would go in his underwear instead of leave his room.. probably while crying the whole time! So that we will work on soon! Sophia on the other hand is getting more interested since Charles has been going on his own.. she'll go in on her own too! Although she wont every time she has to go potty.. just once maybe twice a day. The first time she did it, hmm well I was doing something and heard her go in the bathroom, finished up what I was doing then went to get after her (usually she just makes messes out of the drawers and what not) so I go in find her clothes thrown around the bathroom floor and her diaper, i'm about to tell her to get out of the bathroom when I realize she is sitting on the toilet going potty!  Well I was super excited! She didn't want her diaper back on after that.. so I let her put underwear only to have her pee on the ground about 15 minutes later! Well lessened learned right! but still, i'm pretty excited she's finally interested! Even if it is once a day... ! :)

Although a random side note... Sophia has to be the worlds best hugger!

A New Adventure

So I just recently started an ETSY shop... It takes a lot more time then you would think to first set up your account add items to  sell, then next marketing! With out marketing you probably will never sell anything... yet time and energy to market is more then I realized.. especially with my two cute kiddos wanting my attention while I sit at the computer. Can't complain too much about that... it still doesn't get old hearing there little voices saying mommy mommy.. although Charles still throws in a Rachel every now and then. Well so I have started the shop and i'm selling my photographs. So that takes even more time on the computer to use Photoshop to make sure the pictures look exactly how I want them. I have taken photos for years! Lately mostly of the kiddos.. but still doesn't change that I like photos! Photoshop you can always add fun touches to a photo too  to hopefully help it stand out from the other million or so photos of a mountain that others are selling! Its pretty amazing how many people are so GOOD at photography! Some probably have degrees and what not for the perfect lighting... but that's ok! So if your bored and have the time and want to check out my shop... or i'll just post some of them here for you guys and let me know if its something you would pay for... or if I should give it up now! :)

These two amazing photographs taken in Sedona, AZ were actually taken by David! There two of my favorite photographs!
