Jessica Rabbit Setup

I cant share these amazing images that Danielle shot yesterday on my business page until Feb but I thought Id go ahead and throw them up here :) I chose to do a Jessica Rabbit theme for my Valentine's Day contribution to Party Style Magazine. I absolutely adore Jessica. I love the more sultry characters as opposed to the girl next door cartoons. She epitomizes...well....hotness lol! Its her personality that I really like to though. Jessica is very confident and just kind of knows herself. Shes fiercely loyal and has a very dry affect and sense of humor. She fancies the funny guy as a romantic partner not the price charming type. Shes unorthodox and I love that. I love the color scheme of this shoot and I dont think there is such a thing as too much sparkle or two many curves. This might be my new favorite theme!  :)

2014!

 Just checking in over here! Just realized I havent done a post this year :) Ive had a good reason...we have ALL been completely under the weather. I had a very hard time kicking a sinus infection, bronchitis, and the the worst tummy virus ever! Ugh. That virus swept through our entire house with the exception of Logan and we are holding on for dear life that it doesnt take him down to. I do know that it could be worse. So many people are VERY ill from the flu this year. Until today Kal-El was the only member of our home that had protection. We have literally swapped viruses since October. Its been pretty miserable. Because of that Logan and I were just now (as in literally today) able to get our flu vaccinations. I hated it so bad that it took us this long to get them but it was unavoidable due to our previous illnesses! Chris still hasnt got his and is on the fence. For average healthy children, with no known allergies or major risk factors im about as pro vaccinate as one can possibly be. I put off the research til my children were a little older. Im relieved about the conclusion Ive come to bc they have had shots all along. I encourage everyone to at least do their research in a very through fashion.
Which kind of leads me to my next announcement. After weighing the pros and cons I've decided to pull both boys from school. They only go one day a week and to put it rather bluntly...we pay absolute hell the other 6 days of the week due to the sicknesses they acquire there. I have also learned that this "immune system workout" is really only beneficial to Kal-El ..not Logan who is only 2. Even Kal-El is to the point where this is not a workout any longer....we are just completely run down at this point. I refuse to expose my child to illness if it doenst benefit him when I have the privilege and honor of being able to stay home with them. Doenst feel right...bc its not right. We are also a one income family and my husband has had to miss more work then he would like because we are also getting ill. Seriously rough two months over here! The award for biggest baby in the house, without a doubt, goes to Chris Borquez LOL! We honestly have had some great laughs in spite of everything this week. If you cant laugh, life can swallow you up sometimes. I love my little family and all of our quirks. Here are some random pictures from this week. I didnt photo document puke and other bodily functions. I'm sure no one minds though! I hope after this last bout 2014 will be a much healthier for all of us! :)

Bye 2013!

 Its old news that I don't really get into the whole New Years Resolution thing and think its a very odd holiday if you can even call it that. Seems crazy to wait for January if something needs urgently changed in the present. I dont have anything urgent to address but I do have a few goals. They mainly involve being more organized. I need to prepare waaaay further in advance for holidays. I'm pretty successful in doing this on the business end for Capes & Crowns but I need to do better on the personal stand point. For example, I hATE that I didn't do Christmas cards for the boys this year. Family pictures are definitely another goal for the coming year. We dont have any recent professional ones of the 4 of us. Luckily, I have an awesome photographer thats a friend. I also had another photographer from my modeling days contact me so I may even have some edgy ones done of us if we can decide on a date we could take a weekend in Nashville :)
 Like any year there were ups and downs that came along with 2013. Certainly, more ups and I'm so greatful for that. We bought our home in Florence this year, my company was published in more than one national magazine, Chris remains undefeated in his MMA hobby, and the boys get more amazing by the day. most recently, Logan is really blossoming, I feel like hes on the verge on sentences. He has even started saying "here you go". Music to my ears!  Kal-El fascinates me and makes me laugh daily :)
    Just wanted to do a this quick post to have a closing point for this year. I always turn my blogs into a book at the end of the year for my babies. We had a relaxing New years eve. We are waiting on Chris to return from Memphis. We ordered pizza, watched movies, and just relaxed. Can't wait to see what the coming year has in store for us. I know that we have our Oregon trip in March and I really look forward to that! :)

                                 I'll let the next three pictures be the indication as to whether or not we made it to midnight! :)
