Long week!

I am sorry that I haven't been on here to update you all on things. This week has been a busy one. I just started with a new schedule with the babies. I found somehow to squeeze in a work out everyday. Yay for me. New schedule is:
Wake up
Milk for both babies
We all change into day clothing
Then some breakfast for Sean & I
Hanging out in the living room
Watch some Elmo
Feed Reese
Lay her down for nap
Sean & I sneak outside
Sean plays in a bucket of water
I do some beachbody insanity for about 45 mins
Then inside for lunch with the babies
Adam comes home for lunch
I head over to the store to do pictures & shipping
Sean & Reese go down for a nap
Head back home
babies wake up from their naps
Play in the living room
Read a book with them
Start dinner
Pick up the house
Eat dinner as a family
Then shower for Sean & Daddy
Reese gets a sink bath
Both get milk
Read another book
Put the babies down for the Night

Of course things get out of sequence once in a while. But overall it's working great and mommy can finally get rid of the baby weight!

Today on Oprah she had Robert, Taylor, Kristin, & Dakota all on for eclipse episode. Saw a couple new parts in the movie. Can't wait for the new Eclipse movie. I will say BREAKING DAWN was my favorite book. I was reading something the other day, Stephanie Myers said if she would add another book to the saga it would be about Reneesme. I really hope she puts another one out. I will say I've picked up reading again it's been amazing. Of course most of my reading is about Vampire and Love. LOL. What can I say I <3 Vampires! I couldn't believe some of those Twifans. Can you imagine how it would be to be in one of there shoes for a day. The Screaming!! But like Kristin said this movie made them in hollywood. It's crazy watching them mature and grow with these films. I think sometime I dwell on the romance between Edward & Bella it's amazing.

Finally, got my third photo project out today. Still need to read two more units and 3 more photo projects. UGH can't wait till it's over. So glad I went to school for photography cause there is things I don't think I would of figured out on my own. Oh for some of you that would like to know what school I'm doing it's New York Institute of Photography. www.NYIP.com

My new work out is Beachbody Insanity. I will say it's not for most. It's pretty hard core stuff, but the results are a lot quicker. Wish I wasn't so bloated though from Aunt Flow booo. I made a packed with myself that I will have to at least work out Mon-Fri and start eating more fruits and veggies. Right now I can't stand getting rid of my sweets, but if I work out and not eat as much of them then I should be in a happy middle. I've lost two pounds already. Yay. I've really come to peace with my body after having two children and realizing that it will never be the same ever, but you know what I will make it better!

Mommy's Day

Yesterday was the perfect Mommy's Day ever. It was my 1st Mommy day with two kids. I got to lay around in bed longer and had breakfast ready on the table when I finally got my butt out of bed. We packed up for another great Sunday at GaGa's. Lunch was appitizers guac dip, queso dip, bbq lil sausage, pigs in the blanket, and veggie platter yum. We jumped in the pool after that. What an amazing blue sky and the water temp of the pool was perfect! My mom got me a heart shape chocolate cookie pie. Thanks. Babies were in bed and sleeping by 7pm. I could of not asked for a better day! I am truely blessed with the most amazing family. I love my babies more then my own life! Thank you hubby for making it special in so many ways. I love you. My guilty mother's day present to myself was amazing cupcakes from simply cupcakes. Red velvet, chocolate, carrot, cookie n cream, and banana cream chocolate I will post pictures later they were so amazing!!! Now my goal for this week is to work out and lose 10lbs before July!

G & L shoot

Today we tried to get some good picture of the l & g. My stupid external flash acting funny. So I did the best I could. Here a couple shots. I think I need to purchase one of those really annoying rubber chickens to get the attention of the babies next time. They were stealing toys from each other it was cute. The boys and Reese have the same birthday so it's neat watching them all grow up together. It was funny to think that Reese was bigger than them at one time now she in between the two. Thanks again Steph for bring them out.

Here a funny shot from early of my babies. Sean only wanted to take one picture UGH! Here another funny one of Reese chewing on her foot.

Natural Light!

My new studio has amazing natural light. No flash, No umbrella, No strobes need. It's going to be great for newborn shoots. My hubby got me an oversized bean bag also to use for my photography. I made a cocoon, hammock, and hat today. Nothing to new at the Gill's, but it's been a great week! 62 more days till Key West. Can't wait to get some sunset pictures!!

Edible Playdough Hooray!

I decided to make Sean some edible playdough today. He had an absoulte blast. Of course he ate most of it, but what else do you expect from a toddler. We had cookie cutters and butter knife for making things. He got good at rolling up balls inbetween eating them also.

Edible Playdough
18oz of peanut butter
6tbsp of Honey
1 1/2 cups of Powered Milk
Mix it all together and have fun :)

Sunday Funday @ GaGa's

After my morning shoot we decided to pack up and head out to GaGa's. We had swim suits, Wii, & the min pins. We got there and all suited up. Pool was a tad cold, but we all got in. This was baby Reese 1st time in the pool. She didn't scream but you can tell she was a little shocked that it was cold at 1st. She sat on the raft and played in the water.Josh, GaGa, Adam and Jackie all had a jumping contest. Here a couple funny action shots. My mom & Adam always seem to get in water fights with each other. We had our 1st scare with Sean falling into the pool thank goodness my mom saw and my sister was right there to grab him out. Sean actually held his breath which I was so glad. I taught him when he was younger how to hold his breath. I would hold him in the pool and blow on his face then dunk him. After a great swim in the pool, we all dried up and ate some lunch. Chips, Guaccomolie, and Subs yum! Thanks mom. Bellies are full now so we all got our Wii on. Jackie & I won twice in a row. It was a great time at my mom house. Wish every Sunday was packed full of special family time like this. Can't wait for the florida keys with the family only 65 more days!

Sunday Beach Shoot

Sunday morning I had an amazing time with A & J at a beach couple shoot. There was lots of laughing and the quote from J " I'm a professional". LOL. Got some really cute shot I need to share with you!! This was shot at the Naples Pier and beach. Thanks again guys for everything.
