Im back!

I have been gone for awhile I know!  Life around here is a little hectic right now.  As we all know school started back, which means I am in full swing of babysitting.  I have two extra kids all day everyday, one is 13 months and the other is 16 months.  I also have another little boy that comes Tuesday and Thursday until noon and he is 22 months!  Did I mention that I have a two year old running around????  Lets just say my house is always a mess with toys, we have lots of screaming going on, and lots of time outs around here!!

My photography business is kinda crazy as well.  I didn't really think it would take off like this but it sure is keeping me busy.  It is a little overwhelming at times because I am with the kids all day and then either have a photoshoot in the evening or have to work on pictures.  I am a little overwhelmed at times and very sleepy!!! 

Bailey is growing up to be something else!  She talks ALL the time!  She talks back too!  Thats really great!  Some Bailey sayings:

She walked into the kitchen this weekend and looked at Jason and said "I wanna go shopping"  I taught her well!

She asks all the time "What chu doing?"
We were walking downstairs and looked at a pile of laundry and I asked her "will you do laundry for me?"  She replied with "I do laundry when I'm older"
Everytime you ask her if shes sleepy, or mad, or anything she replies..."NO I'm happy"

She has really gotten into playing with our phones.  It was a fight all day and evening for her to play games and watch videos on our phones.  So we decided to get her an IPOD touch!    She loves the thing.  She calls it her phone.  She knows how to go in and out of different games and play some of them better than me.  She can go into youtube and watch different videos.  The kid really amazes me with the things she can do on there.  It definatly was worth the money! 

Nothing but cute kids!

Well things are so busy around here.  We are putting the finishing touches on Bailey's room and I can't wait to share with you.  I am completely booked for the month of August for photoshoots.  I am doing two sometimes three photoshoots a week!!! Yahh!!  Here are some of the pictures I have done.  There are more on facebook on if you are interested in checking them out....click here!!  Everyone has such cute kids!!!

Busy, Busy home from the beach!!

We are back from the beach and we still haven't stopped!  Jason has had baseball games, we have been unpacking (never ending with the amount of stuff we pack), and lots of cleaning.  I am going to start babysitting another little girl this school year.  I met her parents and her for the first time today and I have busy busy cleaning my house really good.  I obviously had to clean because they were stopping by, but also I did some deep cleaning to get ready for the kiddies this year.  We shampooed carpets and furniture and my mother forced me into organizing closets.  This may sound like a normal thing, but we actually went grocery shopping!!!!!  We have not shopped in so long we couldn't even remember the last big grocery shopping trip we made.  We haven't been here that much so we just eat random things here, go to my moms, or just eat out!

Last, but not least, I have been booking photo sessions!!!!!  I ran a special just so I could get the word out about my new business and try and attract more customers!!  I would love for this business to take off because I really do enjoy taking pictures!  So far I have 7 booked for the month of August!!!  Thought I would leave you with just a few of the 490 pictures I took at beach and Phillie's game.   I didn't even upload these pictures until about 2 days ago because I was so overwhelmed with the amount I took and everything going on. 

These are just a few we snapped while waiting on everyone to get there.  My sister-in-law and her friend!

My other sister-in-law and her boyfriend.

The whole beach crew!

All the kids and grandkids!

Gam and her kids.

More to come soon!  I have a photoshoot tonight so lots to work on!!

We are bored...KINDA

Hi I am here.  I keep saying that but I really am not here!  Heres the low down on whats going on.  As you know we went to VA  a few weeks ago (I still have so many pics to post sorry).  A week after we got home Jason left for China...hes still there...and comes home Friday.  We have not stopped since he left.  We have gone to the pool at my parents almost every day. We have gone shopping or visited friends every evening.  For some reason I get really bored at home this time with him gone so we go places, lots of places.  We have spent probably too much money...but we are BORED and Bailey wanted to eat out a lot and buy lots of things! (haha thats for Jason if he reads this).  Anyways, Jason is home for three days and then leaves again for four days.  Are you still with me???  Then the day after he gets home again we leave for a whole week.  We are going to visit his Aunts and cousins for a family reunion for 2 days, then to the beach for 5 days, then to visit his Uncle and go to a Phillies game. 

So the point to the story is Jason is gone A LOT right now.  In about a month he will be in our house for about 9 or 10 whole days.  We are bored without him here.  When he went out of town before I was babysitting and always busy during the day.  Then in the evenings I was tired and we would do low key things. 

One more thing, Jason and my sister have talked me into trying to do photography professionally.  I really love taking pictures and have just taught myself what I know.  I have so much more to learn.  Well, I have my first paying customer next week.  To say I am nervous is an understatement.   Hopefully everything will go smoothly!! If you aren't friends with me on facebook here is a link to Kristi B Photography.  Check it out and "like" it!!

Almost done with vacay....

Hey do you all remember me???  I am back from the beach!  We had a great time!  I have lots and lots of pictures to share!

Did I tell you all that Jason got me Photoshop Elements for an early birthday present!   I am trying my best to learn all I can about.  If you have any tips, tricks, or good websites to help me learn please share!!

I am working on a little something and can't wait to share with you! I am not sure where it will take me or how well I will do, but I am really excited about! 

Don't you wish you knew!  I will let you know soon!  I am busy resting from my vacation (haha) and going through all my pictures!  Hopefully I will get more up tomorrow!!!

She's a beauty!

Here are all of my other favorites!!

So now that school is over I no longer have Jackson anymore.  I will miss him so much, but also very excited to give all of my attention to this little beauty!  We have lots of trips planned and I can't wait!  We are going to the beach at least twice and I am working on trying to get there for a third trip, we are going to a Phillies game, I am trying to make it to Cincinatti to visit a friend and the zoo!  Its going to be a great summer!

Bailey...the new photographer!

Not  much going on around The Brouse House.  We went to Jackson birthday party this weekend.  I have pictures of it but have not uploaded them yet.  I will share this week.  We did have another photoshoot with Jackson so his mommy could have lots of pictures to document that cute little face at one year!  This time we ventured somewhere different.  The only way I could do it was because my sister had a doctor appointment and I made her stop by for a few minutes before work to chase one of the kids while I took pictures of the other one.  Bailey would rather check a new place out than stay still for a picture.  So I didn't get many of her, her outfit was so cute and she just wouldn't stay still.  So heres more of Jackson and some of Bailey.

"Seriously guys just let me run!!"

She was saying..."Key" ...."Key"  She really wanted in the building.

Here she is saying "Hold" because I was making her sit there

She is always giving kiss!

When we got home she got her baby and kept propping her against different pillows and saying "cheese" and clicking her tounge like she was taking pictures.  She then saw my camera and pointed to it and watned me to take a picture of her baby.  This is the great shot of her photoshoot.  She then insisted she had to see to see the screen to view her picture afterwards.  She has been doing photoshoots for days now! 

Guess who....

TURNS ONE THIS FRIDAY????
