After the rain.......

We finally saw the sun.. well for about a day at least, so while the dude was at a friend's house, the diva and I made the most of that day and went and shot these for a friend. I told her the diva liked.. no loved horses and to suprise us and this ADORABLE little set is what she came up with. The diva could not have been more excited to put on her cowgirl duds, hat and boots and to get to take her beloved Snowflake was a bonus .. here are a few peeks from the shoot ....


I know I have said before the diva has a thing with horses.. it seems.. over time, this thing has manifested into a full blown love affair! We did not know these horses... me being the scardy cat hesitant one, was not sure how to approach them (well I "knew" I just was not sure what they would do). The diva on the other hand, walked right up to the fence, watched the horses.. called out softly "it is ok little boy, c'mere", and over they came. She waited till they came close...

and then began to pet them as if she had known them all her her 3 years of life! They seemed to like it also :)

'course then we get too friendly....

But again, I cannot tell you how adorable this set is, Gillian is a fantastic designer and we were so honored to be able to work with her!

But all good things come to and end and apparently this does too, the diva was all too done with the jeans and was ready to get her "boots a walkin' " and get on to lunch..

Hope everyone has a fantastic week, we "should" be busy here, but all that will be depending on the rain Gods and if they care to shower us again this week. The weather men could probably not show up for work and just replay last weeks forcasts if what they say is true, and if it is true, well we may just invest in a boat or a jet ski to take to and from work/school :)

Rainy Days and Mondays Always get me down...

Rain, rain...that is ALL it has done here since Friday morning. And when I mean "all it has done"
I mean ALL it has done... non-stop. Now don't get me wrong, I like a little rain, love to hear it on the roof, LOVE to listen to it when I am going to bed.. or have nothing to do...

But, I do have some things to do... I mean c'mon.. no one can do nothing for 4 days straight!! Or I guess they can.. as we have.. I am not a big "get out in the rain and get soaked" fan so we stayed at home to "weather" out the storm (which is winning by the way..)

So I am kind of down, it is raining.. and it is Monday.. so that song by the Carpenter's popped into my head this morning (yes I know.. to admit I actually know that song is embarrassing). And I tried to think of a way to get out of the "four day rain funk" I was in. So the diva decided she wanted to go outside and play so there we went as 4 days inside does NOT make a happy diva!!


And funny enough.. my mood brightened :)


Cause there is nothing that makes me smile more then the diva in her rain boots and horsey rain coat...


Splashing in puddles...



Trying to get me wet as I got close to take these...


As if it were every day that you got to go outside in your pj's (since your rain coat is big enough to cover them), and boots and splash till you are soaked...


and run in puddles..



and splash some more.....

making me laugh the whole time :)

We have been busy. I hate to say, I figured with school starting I would have more time to blog but the reverse has happened, which stinks.. as I love to blog and read blogs.. so I am going to TRY to be better about coming and posting. But don't hold me to it people.. I am human ya know!

But to recap.. we started baseball again.. and we changed our names. We are know the Longhorns- yes that is right, just like the University of Texas Longhorns (well actually, to be honest, I think we are better as our uniforms are WAYYY cooler then theirs are.. and the dude's catcher's mask is wayy cooler too)

Not at ALL psyched about white baseball pants though... so if anyone out there has a sure-fire way to get those dirt stains out.. post here and I might actually send you a prize (yes I am that desperate..lol)

The diva started a tot-dance class this week too.. not sure what to make of it except she looks C*U*T*E!!!

She is just liking being able to jump and hop (which probably means she needs to be in gymnastics) but since she looks so darn cute I may just leave her in this one for a while.

She will start horse riding lessons again probably in October which she is very excited about.

She got a new horsie room which is pretty much now done so stay tuned for some pics of that :)

But for now lets all just dance and sing together "rain, rain, go away.. come again another day.."
