2011 was pretty fun! We did work really REALLY hard though and even though we are super thankful for all the business we had, we are a little tired. Working two jobs gets to ya after a bit. We're looking forward to more fun/travel in 2012 and are stoked about it! :)

So I didn't really blog any LAST year, probably won't blog much at all this year either. I've lost that lovin' feeling I guess....but every now and then I'll get a comment on here like from a recent one where a REALLY sweet lady was asking about Lucy and telling me how she remembers her sweet story and STILL thinks about her all these years after she was featured on Daily Puppy and Cute Overload

I don't have anything to say really...just wanted to make sure I still knew how to sign on to this blog and post something. Here is a pic from a fun time this summer and a quote that is so so true---both of these were in a cool store in Decatur!

I don't have any pretty pictures to show you...in all honesty--it's kinda nice to come here right now and just have words and not worry about what picture I will post and whether or not it's relevant...or irrelevant. I post pretty pictures elsewhere...here I just want to vent and say the things that I can't really say elsewhere. :)I hate March. March is a serious you--know--what. The funny

I was worried I wouldn't remember how to post to blogger---posting to the new MBP site is nothing like this, so it's a little weird to post here now. You know I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some Valentine's Day...best faux holiday there is. I don't even care that Hallmark invented it to make money...don't mind at all---because I BIG PUFFY HEART the colors of Valentine's Day. They just go oh-so-perfectly

Seriously. Seriously. That's just how I need to start this off. 2010 came in with a bang...first the filtration system got cold and we woke up one weekend morning without water...no biggie---warmed it up outside by piecing together some extension cords and putting the handy-dandy MonkeyBean baby warmer next to it. Worked like a charm and was thankful it was a weekend morning and not a WORKday

I don't think 2009 was too popular amongst most people...I didn't know this until recently--on facebook everyone is like "see ya 2009, hopefully 2010 will be better.." I don't have the same perspective for 2009...I actually LOVED it. Some really bad things happened to a lot of my friends, and I can see why they'd hate it...but those bad things that happened to them, led to better things

Finally got some time to take some pics of my favorite wildebeests...been good times relaxing here at the mansion---well and of course editing photos in the evenings...maybe here soon after finishing up the editing of two weddings, I might have a little break from that as well. Red Bobo is new for Christmas, Orange Bobo is an old friend...but apparently they travel in pairs and have been a big

So I'm doing a trial of Animoto, love it, obsessed with it to be quite honest, want to marry it, you get the idea. They definitely know how to make an awesome video and it was so easy to do, it's redonk. Here are my first ones! May take a moment or two for something to show up below this text if your computer is a little slow---so don't run off if nothing is down there right away. :)

As we said goodbye at our last wedding in October, we drove into this AMAZING sunset! I'm so stoked about the pictures!Last night at the Art show I got a pic of my three biggest supporters...it's amazing how much they help me out---I'm especially fond of that one on the right!

This poor, poor blog...there's pretty much no way to revive it from the dead at this point...and I don't even feel like trying really. But, Natalie so kindly asked for some sort of updating and maybe there's somebody else that looks on here for some updates too...so I'll give a little something!Life has been CRAZY busy and I'm pretty darn tired!

Couldn't find the "before" photo for the blue stool, but this another old thing we had sitting around that I've painted and fixed up for a photog prop. There's also the in-progress "old" sunroom "new" office. Started it one night right before school started back and haven't picked up a roller or brush since----guess I need to get back on that soon! :)Then the seriously Old metal egg basket.

Before and Afters make me so happy! This is what we did to an old chair that was Julie's when she was a little nugget! She has pictures of herself sitting in this chair and she was OH SO CUTE! Since she's been scanning some to make digital copies for her Mom, I will have to post some soon! This chair is going to make the cutest photo prop!

I saw a photograph once of a Boston Terrier that was really simple---just the pup on an all white background turned into a black and white picture---I fell in love with it...and recently decided that I needed some of those same sort of artistic, non-cluttered pictures of my own kids. Nikki and Casey were mostly willing subjects---hasn't happened yet with Lucy and Brinkley. These were my two

Seriously. 8 weeks...8 weeks of vacation....other than making up your own hours and/or never having to go to work, it really is the next best thing. I'm not one of those Mary Poppins types who thinks teaching is just the greatest thing ever. That might make me look badly, but I'm sorry. If I could JUST TEACH...yes it would be 90% more super duper than it is now...but it's never JUST TEACHING

We got to babysit cutie pie Alex a few nights ago...he met Brinkley because he really wanted to see the dogs...and Brinkley is pretty much the most predictable one when it comes to kids---as in the one who we KNOW will NOT eat a child. :) In fact, the worst Brinkley did was slightly frighten Alex by covering him in more friendly slobber kisses than he's ever dealt with before.

When mpix was having an 8x10 print sale, we stocked up and I did this to the fireplace the other night. DON'T freak out you brick preservers...it's just double sided sticky tabs holding them up there, nothing permanent. Obviously there's still some more prints to be bought to finish the bottom...but I love how this turned out. It totally makes us smile. :)

at work that is...isn't that where the badness usually comes from?! A little summary of the week's events are as follows:Start my week off by getting a phone call from the Queen stating that a parent has called and complained about me and the note I wrote in a child's agenda where I said that the money to purchase a picture frame from the Art show was overdue and that we didn't have the frames

Because Julie(BEAN) is quiet (mostly) when we're around others...she is the most likely to shock someone with some of the stuff she can bust out with in a conversation. I love that almost everyone we know, could at any given time be surprised or in awe by her. Ever seen her dance across the house or make random animal noises for the fun of it? We both do that sort of thing here at the mansion.

One of those conversations while right in the middle of it I think to myself, "Only a teacher would be having this conversation standing in the middle of 20 something 6 and 7 year olds."

I think the pictures are taking so long to upload because of an issue with my flickr account...because I went there today and noticed that they are acting strangely.

You know, a "thank you" is something so very easy and quick to give but people don't hand them out very often, not nearly as often as they should. It's ridiculous really. I am more often shocked (and appalled) by people's lack of gratitude more than anything else in the ways of how people act/react towards one another. It doesn't impress me how much money you make, how smart you are, where you

This crazy beast has been at the vet's office since Thursday morning to get spayed...it's been oddly quiet. It's so strange how there can still be three dogs here, but things are slower, calmer...way more silent. Lucy's body and personality encompass a lot of space. She's not that large in size--but she's constantly moving, playing, investigating or jumping up on me while I sit at the computer

HOLY SMOKES...10 days since I last blogged! Well we're alive...tired, busy, but alive! :) Actually after burning the finished copy of the yearbook onto CD to overnight to the company tomorrow, I instantly felt energized and PERKY! :) Basically since I last "saw" you guys this has been my daily schedule:6:15am--wake up7:15am--get to work (that is the job where I teach Art) ;)3:15pm--leave said

We take this small break in yearbook creation to bring you this blog post...I feel fragile. Do you ever feel fragile, really fragile? It's a term we use around here when you should tread lightly and be as sweet and caring as you possibly can because the other one is just about to break---it can mean physically (not feeling well at all) fragile or emotionally/mentally tired and fragile.There's a

If you are seeing a weird layout on my blog...try emptying your internet history and cookies and then try again. I have looked at it on three different computers and it looks fine---so maybe it was a temporary problem. It wasn't something I did, some freaky thing happening on its own and hopefully it's OK now.

Julie's Stop Animation assignment. Made from over 100 photos, every photo shows one slight motion different than the next so that when they are put together and "played" it appears that the objects are moving! Stop Animation ROCKS! It has a few quirks and we want to make a longer one next time, but I think it's cute regardless!

Shocking isn't it?! Just in case you didn't already know this, yes studies now show that people are indeed stupid. Let me give you a case study for example...About two weeks ago after school, I'm washing paintbrushes and a Kindergarten teacher brings in a parent and student. The parent is a little angry because her son got hit in my room and I didn't do anything about it. SO...I proceed to

Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg TN were fun! We loved the cabin, more pictures later.There was snow on the way up going through The Great Smoky Mountains National Park, we were surprised to see that! It was fun seeing families have snowball fights and little snowmen that people stopped to make on the various pull-outs up the mountain.The front of the cabin:The view from the porch:

We don't actually know the legit date for Lucy's birth, but when we took her to the vet, they said it was around this time, so we decided what better than to get to "choose" for her birthday to be on Valentine's Day...a sweet day, easy to remember, for a sweet baby girl! :)You gotta love Lucy!

Oh today was February 13th, but you would have never known it was not February 14th at school! Valentine's Day at school is SOOOOOO much bigger than Christmas and Halloween. There were parties everywhere, when you walked into the building you could literally SMELL the sugary baked goods. Kids were sweating sugar from their pores by the afternoon.

Walked out of my classroom door to the outside to take a few yearbook pics of second graders on the playground and found this:A girl came up to me and asked me why I was taking pictures of "naked men." I hope she didn't go home and tell her mom I was doing that...that would be interesting to explain. :) I told her they weren't naked, they were in their wrestling uniforms---didn't have the heart

One of Julie's FOUR (I know I keep saying it, but FOUR--sheesh) classes this semester is a tech class where she has to create/edit videos and things of that nature. For her first assignment, she had to create a commercial of some sort. So naturally the first idea we both had was to do a commercial for MonkeyBean Photos DOT COM! :) I like saying that like the yahoo commercials. Anywho...We "

Been a while for Lucy pictures and some good quotes. By the way, these pictures of Lucy ONLY happen when she is sleepy! You can see towards the end that she started to fall asleep.

I despise winter when there's not at least a little bit of snow to make it worth it. No pretty blanket of white surrounding everything. I don't love extreme cold or wind and the combination of low light, lack of color, and deadness of everything alters and affects my moods in negative ways. In short, winters here, because of the lack of any sort of beauty = my least fav.So, I'm swooning over

Yesterday's clouds, rain, and gloomy weather were thankfully no indication as to how great I felt yesterday and how well the day went. I have some fabulous friends that made the day really special! A few of my buddies threw me a little lunch party at work---and was even thoughtful enough to get me a pizza with no four-legged animal involved. I thought the thoughtfulness involved in that was

We went to Roo's birthday party at Pump it Up where they have super huge blow up slides and castles for kids to play on/in.
