Busy, Busy Boy

Isaac has been getting busier and busier as I'm attempting to work on 2 of the weddings I have planned for June 2013.  I've made the brides their binders but am always thinking of pages to add...the only road block...my 9 1/2 month old who likes to check out the laptop every time I sit down to work.  I guess I'll get those pages done eventually.  Most the added pages I have thought about are ones that aren't necessary at this stage of the planning.  I'm also always looking online and on Pinterest for what others have included in their wedding planning binders.  Once I feel that mine is complete, I'll put them out there for purchase. 

Before I can do that I'll have to purchase a new printer, mine is starting to get a little worn-down.  Gotta love those circles, selling binders to pay for a printer but need a printer to sell the binders.  It is all about timing and managing money.  Once the binders are up for sell, those who choose to purchase one can have it personalized it they'd like.  This means that if you want certain things to be taken off pages (depending on what it is due to formatting) I can make that happen, or if you'd like information on something that isn't included in the binder, I can make that happen as well.

The little Mister is ruling the house and gets into everything.  Luckily, we have a great daycare he attends once a week.  Unfortunately that day is usually one that I spend researching or cleaning...occasionally I attempt to catch up on some zzz's.  Isaac is crawling like a mad man and is starting to pull himself up on furniture to walk along it.  This just means that he burns lots of calories and has to get up during the night in order to eat enough to make up these burned calories.

Last weekend we got the little Mister all bundled up to go outside, thinking it would wear him about a bit and we could work on whatever we needed to while he was napping.

He wasted no time at all getting into the flowerbeds in order to talk to the neighbor.  Luckily he likes being outside, but unfortunately now that winter is setting in there are days that it is just too cold to take him outside to play.



I figured I would rake some leaves since he was playing in the yard, and yes he had a ball he was playing with.  It didn't take long for Isaac to decide he liked playing in mama's pile of leaves better.  He then proceeded to empty the bag of leaves so he could play in them.  Luckily once I tied up the bag he decided that he liked the sound a it distracted him long enough for me to finish bagging up the few piles of leaves I had.

Guess I'll have to buckle down during his short naps, or stay up a little later to get things finished with the little going everywhere.  I'm always open to ideas for binder pages or ways to help the little one sleep better!

Growing Boy

While I was out of town, Isaac had some more firsts.  He had been threatening to start crawling and he perfected his crawl while I was on the beach. He also has gotten better at using furniture to get himself standing. He is getting sooo big!
He is a wild man. Eli was gone last week so I had a week alone with the little turkey. Trying to work on a wedding for June 2013 while the little turkey is running around and trying to use the computer is a little tougher than you would think.  Once Eli got home, I thought it'd be easier but the little guy is everywhere.
Here are videos of the turkey perfecting his crawl, standing, and sticking his tongue out. Not sure what that is all about but when I got back I noticed it and it seems like he just can't keep it in his mouth anymore.

Hopefully he doesn't start walking soon. I'm sure it'll take a while, but other think he'll be walking by the holidays. 

Guess I'll have to figure out some more work solutions when he does. 

A little update on the biz...so far I am planning 2 weddings for June 2013, one in Baker and one in Helena. I am also offering advice on a family wedding in Washington that is next June as well. If others have events that they'll need help with next June, better book soon cause it is filling up fast!

I'm still offering $10 off for the month of October for all consultations, no matter when the event is.

I'm Back!!

I got back from beautiful Hawaii with some beautiful ladies! I was able to see lots and had tons of fun. 


We went to the Dole Planation and found some tiny pineapples.  Did you know that pineapples don't continue to rippen after you pick them?

We sunbathed with a monk seal at North Shore before we went snorkling.  They are very territorial and he was giving his warning to others on the beach who were getting too close.  His warning was sticking his tongue out and buzzing it them.

We saw 5 turtles sunbathing at Turtle Beach, and a few days later saw some playing in the water at Haleiwa.

We went for a hike up Mariner's Ridge.

On top of the ridge after the 1.5 mile hike.

We got to watch the sunset at the beach, so beautiful!!

 

We visited the Arizona Memorial at Pearl Harbor.

We event went to a Luau and had some great food and great entertainment.

 

Hawaii was lots and lots of fun.  I am so glad I had the opportunity to go and stay with friends.  I'm so thankful for my husband who held down the fort while I was gone.  It isn't easy taking care of an 8 month old who is learning to crawl and starting to pull himself up onto whatever he can. 

 

Next post will about how the little man changed up what's coming up next with the business, but now he is awake and trying to terrorize the laptop! The Little Turkey.
