Daisy Daze {epic photo dump}

I love this dress. Tana doesn't have any other green clothing so I wasn't aware of how adorable she looked in that color! It's my new favorite and it makes me want to run out and buy all the green things I see. Oh and we had to put a pillow behind her because it was really windy and she kept getting almost blown over haha

All these photos were taken in front of my Grandma's house. The idea was to get her daisies in the shots but they were too tall so only one actually ended up in any of them haha. We did give her one to play with though and got some photos before she ate it

I know these are all pretty overexposed, and I hate that! I need to learn how to use my camera in manual setting again because I've pretty much forgotten how to since my high school photography class. Plus I never learned on a digital camera anyways, I learned on my Minolta Maxxum 70 (love that camera, by the way, I need to buy some film for it!)

I love those little clips pictured above. I bought a pack hoping they'd stay in her hair because none of the other kind do. Her hair is really fine just like Johns and it bums me out! Hopefully they'll stay once it gets a little longer (and I can finally get a little ponytail in there, too!)

As you can see, she started getting grumpy and tired towards the end of our little photo shoot. This was the last photo we took and it's definitely one of my favorites. I really love when she gets all sleepy and starts rubbing her eyes, it's beyond cute!! And I'm loving having impromptu photo sessions with her, too. It's so fun.

Update & Photo Dump

I've been in a funk lately and haven't felt much like blogging I guess. I'm still looking for a job and it's total bullshit in this town. Nowhere is hiring and the places that are either think I'm too qualified, or under qualified. So far I've had zero luck and it's really really starting to stress me out! We just can't survive on John's salary alone for much longer. Oh and Kaetana has been sick, too, which doesn't exactly help in the whole 'having spare time' department. I'm basically here to dump a bunch of photos on you and leave, but I'll be back tomorrow with a new feature I'm starting (and will actually keep up with past a few weeks, I promise!)
Here are some photos from the past couple weeks :)

John's Birthday

Saturday was a great day. It was John's 21st birthday, and although our plans of going to Phoenix to go to Castles & Coasters were ruined (it SNOWED the night before and all day Saturday) we made the best of it. John and his best friend Sonny went out at midnight and got really, ridiculously drunk so they were sick and unhappy all day but John sucked it up and we went out to eat and saw Arthur - which was awesome, btw. Kaetana spent the day and night over at my grandma's being watched by my mom. It was really strange being away from her but a welcome break regardless. We went out to the bars that night, and neither of us spent any money on drinks! Awesome. Also, Bria got to go into all the bars with us which was cool because she's only 18. Her mom is a bartender down at The Birdcage, though, so she pulled some strings. Anyways, that was our day. Here are some photos from the night. Please excuse the terribleness of them, because frankly I got too drunk to remember how to properly use my camera indoors in the dark without flash (and kept forgetting to use the flash anyways.) Oops!

Bria and Sonny

Birthday Boy!

Photo Dump

The weather here has turned crappy, so Tana and I have been chilin' inside for the most part, which equals not so many interesting things to write about lately. Plus the price of gas has gone up SO MUCH over the last month or so, it's killing my soul. I filled up the car yesterday and it was $3.55 a gallon. Today it's $3.60. Someone please explain to me how it went up .5 in one day, because I truly don't understand the logic in that. Ugh.
Anyways, because it's been kind of a dull moment, I thought I'd post some photos from my phone! Those are kind of the default "I have nothing good to say" posts, right? :) These were taken over the past week or two.

Rainbow Birthday Cake

John's 21st birthday is this Saturday, and I wanted to make him a cake because I don't think birthdays feel right without cake! The only problem is, we've got our day planned full - we're going to be going to Castles & Coasters in Phoenix in the morning/afternoon, then in the evening we'll be back in Prescott hitting up Whiskey Row so he and his friend (who turned 21 yesterday) can go bar hopping and get all kinds of trashed. My mom even agreed to watch the baby overnight (eek!) so I can go, too! It's going to be awesome.
Anyways! Because of that, I decided yesterday that I'd just make his cake then. So, I did. It turned out amazing!! I didn't get any photos of the actual baking process, because I was at my grandma's and forgot my camera :( But I got some of the finished project. It tasted great, too! Take a look:

Kaetana wanted some!!

My Grandpa (he's holding Kaetana in that photo up there) ended up giving her a taste of frosting - against my wishes, I might add! - and she liked it a lot. She was freaking out trying to get at the cake the entire time we were eating it. Oh, and the whole thing is GONE already. A bunch of piggies in my family, I swear. ♥
