Sweet baby

Little red cheeks...

This one is my favorite! I love that little smile!!

I love baby feet!!

These shots are from one of my MANY "photography sessions" the little man has had to endure...and many more to come! Summertime heat prevents us from going outside too much! With this TEXAS heat, it doesn't take anytime for his little cheeks to start turning red. Tanner LOVES the outdoors so I am ready for it to cool off. I took him outside a few days ago during the evening. I played with my camera and these are a few shots that I took.

He will turn 5 months next week! I can't believe how fast time has gone by. He is really growing into his own personality and I am loving it! He is a little stinker and I can already tell he is going to get into EVERYTHING! He wants anything that is in your hands. He is fascinated by phones especially. I guess he likes that they light up or somthing. He loves his walker and can really get around these days. The other day I had all my Scentsy testers out on the floor smelling them. I had them in neat little piles of ones that I love, I like, and I dont really care for. I ran into the kitchen for something and came back in the livingroom. Tanner had walked his little self right into the middle of all my nice piles. Those testers were EVERYWHERE!! I had to laugh...I'm imagining things yet to come!

He is starting to roll. He can roll from his back to his tummy. We haven't yet managed to get all the way from our tummy to our back. He is trying but can't figure out what to do with his arms. He is still not a big fan of tummy time but he is getting better! Before we know it he will be crawling all over the place!!!

Crazy...

Okay gang...so I have officially gone crazy!!! I mean, what was I thinking starting two in home businesses in one week, when school is about to start, not to mention that I will be teaching a new grade level, and on top of all that I am a NEW mom!!! (what a sentence :) ) So what are my new businesses you ask??? Well, first, I decided to join Mary Kay as an Independent Beauty Consultant. I signed up not really knowing what I wanted to do with it. Tommy's cousin, Amber, had a facial party and I went so that I could be a Ginny pig. I had a lot of fun and really enjoyed myself and the product. Then his other cousin Jackie, who drives the famous Pink Cadillac, gave her spill on what a great company Mary Kay is....which it truly is...and I was sold! So I ordered my little starter kit and a few more products and I am set to sell!

So the very NEXT day after signing up for Mary Kay, my friend Johanna called and was talking to me about these candle things that her sister had and then she saw them in Canton. SO I got online and checked Scentsy out and it was all over!!! I had seen them before at a booth at a county fair but was too busy to check them out. So I looked at the website and decided to find out more. You see...you have to sign up under someone else. Well, since I didn't know anyone that sold Scentsy that was a problem. So I called a lady out of Waller and wasn't really impressed. I wanted to find someone who I could talk to about it and get the information that I needed. I ended up randomly choosing a girl from Katy and called her. So I talked to her about 45 minutes and decided that I really wanted to sign up under her! She was very nice we had a lot in common, and she was very helpful. Now remember, the day before I signed up for Mary Kay...spent the money and everything. So hummm...how do I ask my husband about this?? If you know Tommy, that part was pretty easy. "So hun, I found these really AWESOME candle thingys that I want to sell...what do you think?" Of course, you know me, I couldn't stop at that...I had to talk about them to him, show him what they looked like, express my excitement over and over :) His response, "Go for it! You can use the stuff yourself if it doesn't work out." Maybe he said that just to shut me up...hehehe. No really, he is such a sweetie!! So all day today I have been working on my Scentsy stuff...in between diaper changes, feedings, changing clothes... I know you are dying to see the Scentsy stuff yourself...so without further suspense (I don't know how to spell the other word that is supposed to go here....adue??) here it is: www.scentsy.com/samanthapaben .

So I am your one stop shop...WONDERFUL Mineral make up??? I got it. Fun body washes, perfumes??? I got it. Wrinkle creams that work??? I got it. The famous Satin Hands?? I got it. CUTE candle warmers to make your house smell good?? I got it. Car scents?? I got it. Room sprays?? I got it. As you can see, I've got more than you could ask for :) So next holiday or birthday, you just LET ME KNOW!!!

Everyone may need to prepare for me to get shipped to the nuthouse!! But hey, I need some excitement and newness in my life...ummm the newness I might have overdone!!! :)
