John and Tina Plus Three: A Picture Session at The Cathedral of Madeline

A Picture Session at The Cathedral of Madeline

Yesterday we went to The Cathedral of Madeline so Olivia could get her picture taken in her First Communion Dress. She will be making her First Communion in May, but we needed to get the pictures taken early so that I can make invitations and announcements. She looked so beautiful I can't wait to see the pictures, I hope they turn out. It was a fun experience. I have been wanting to take some photography classes for sometime now, and helping the photographer was so much fun. I want to start taking classes now so that in the future I can have my own photography business. I found a couple of courses you can take online to get certified. I did some research and found that most the photographers in our area have no schooling or just did an online course. I guess it's not rocket science but I thought you had to have a degree to take pictures, but I guess not. John said I could look into it. I can't wait! I'll let you know what I find out. I would love to take pictures for a living. I would also love to take better pictures of my kids. As far as I'm concerned it's a win win situation. I really wanted to take pictures of The Cathedral because it is absolutely gorgeous, but I forgot my camera. I haven't been there for years so we made sure to walk around the entire building. The stained glass is amazing. Since I didn't get any pictures of The Cathedral or Olivia in her dress, I'll at least post the pictures of the flowers I ordered for Olivia to hold in some of the pictures.

Olivia is going to be gorgeous! I love watching them when they make their 1st holy communions in their little wedding dresses!

All my kids were baptized as babies!
And so far here is what they have all done: Sammie (my 17-year old) made everything up to her confirmation, Sabey (my 13-year old) made her first holy communion (she still needs to make her confirmation). As for Destiny (6-years old)she was just baptized as a baby, she's still little, so I guess she has a couple years or less.

Also update me what you find out about your photography class, you have my email and if not it's Tiffaniarchibeque@yahoo.com or Tiffani.archibeque@zionsbank.com

Take care and watch your cute kids and your cute dog, dang dog snatcher crazy people out there!

Liv-The Drama Queen

Liv is really smart. She loves going to school and hanging out with her friends. She is really excited about learning to play the Recorder this year. She is a huge "Smarty Pants" and has a come-back to everything I say. She helps me out a ton with the two little ones, who both admire everything about her. She tells really, really, really long stories (sometimes I have to remind myself to be patient.) She acts every detail out and changes her voice for the different characters in her story. She has a talent for getting anyone around her all hyped and rawled up. The house is usually quiet until Liv arrives. She is such a "Drama Queen." She spends most of her time making the two little ones re-enact a movie that they just watched. I think she is going to be a Movie Director or a Teacher when she grows up.

DayDay aka Prince Charming

Damon is a real sweetheart. We call him DayDay for short. He is a very sensitive guy and is tuned into everyone's feelings. He tries very hard not to hurt anyone and really wants everyone around him to be happy. He loves to cuddle and gives the best "Bear Hugs." He's already embrassed to hold my hand or kiss me in public. He doesn't love going to school but is really good at it and tested above grade level. He is a "home-body," crowds and a lot of noise over-whelm him. He loves wearing soft clothes and would stay in his jammies all day if I let him. He can memorize a movie after watching it just once. He quotes lines from movies and even uses them in the right context. He is always making us laugh and is quite "The Charmer."

The King & Queen

I have been a stay-at-home Mom for almost 10 years. I love being a wife and a mom. I am very blessed to be able to stay at home. I really, really, really love my life and my home! The kids are amazing and being able to watch them grow is so much fun. They change everyday. I love making crafts and cards. Photography is a hobby that I am still learning and I spend a lot of my time reading and learning new techniques as well as learning Photoshop. I should say that I spend most of the time trying to figure out my damn camera!!!

John is a brillant man. He is self-employed and has many talents. Taking out the trash is not one of them, but I love him anyway. John enjoys watching sports and plays football whenever he gets a chance. He is an amazing dancer and is always the center of attention at a party. His son is his protege.

Chloe-Puppy Royalty

Chloe is the puppy Santa Claus brought for the kids this past Christmas. She is an Imperial Shih-Tzu. She was abandoned by her mother and then was raised by a Persian Cat. When she first came home she even meowed. Now days she spends most of her days "cat napping" and sitting on the back of the couch looking out the window. She is very playful and hates to be left alone. Her hobbies include hanging out the window of a moving vehicle and playing with her boyfriend-Mugsy. She is spoiled beyond belief and acts like "Royalty."
