Dread Adventure

So I've always been interested in dreadlocks, but have been way to chicken to actually go for it. Until recently. A few months ago I took several hours backcombing my hair into locks. I (so i thought) was ready for the commitment. 3 Days Later I brushed out all my hard work.

To be honest I was uncomfortable and unsure. After quite a bit of thought, I have once again decided that now is the time. I haven't had any help putting my dreads in this time, so far but I'm sure I can convince Chris to help me out with the ones in the back (like he did last time)

I'm leaving my bangs out, just because I like the way it looks.

Today I ended up punching myself in the eye while backcombing. The comb slipped out as I was trying really hard to make them very tight. 

It sure did hurt but I'm over it now. And I'm excited for my journey ahead. I will try to keep updating my progress of how they are coming along.

So June 26 I left my house about 3pm to head to a wedding. Knowing my Sadie Baby could have her kittens anytime I set up a box with some towels juuuuustt incase. 

Chris called me when he got home from work that night and called me to tell me she had 5 kitties. 

Little, tiny, baby anythings are cute. But these kittens..... heart melting!

Sadly one day we came home to the runt of the litter had not made it. It was sooo sad. We still don't know why :(

All the other kitties are doing just fine. They are getting curious and are starting to explore things and play with each other. its so stinkin' cute!

They do spend most of the day sleeping still. Oh and eating of course.

or just being adorable

 and, of course, attacking mom

They all have different personalities and you can see that already. I LOVE that about cats! I know that they are going to be good kitties in their forever homes!!

So Family and Photography have completely consumed my life. I give major props to those of you who know how to balance things so well. I just can hardly find time to blog. It really bumms me out, cause I really have this blog for more of a journal to document things I my life that I love. BUt Blogging TAKES TIME!! I'm going to try to make it a point to update once a week. Just document things with my kids better and make memories last longer.  

 SOOOOO that being said, it finally RAINED!!! And A good rain too!! This has been one of the worst droughts in Texas history. And it was so delightful to be able to go play in the rain.

Jocelyn was taking a nap, so Josiah got to play in the rain for about an hour(before he got cold and wanted to come inside) He is so funny to watch. He had an obsession with running and rocks. It was pretty difficult to keep up with him, but I'm really pleased with the photos I was able to capture. Best Quote of the Day: "Mama you hear that? You hear the sky?" referring to the thunder <3

you can check out all the photos here
