Now accepting 2011/2012 weddings!

January 25, 2011

Well I have finally done it. I have decided to take up to 2 weddings per month after baby boy is born until Josh graduates and gets his teaching job. Spread the word! I probably won't want to travel too far away (Lubbock and Oklahoma preferably), but if it is close to an airport then I will think about it. 

Here is my wedding pricing! I will be taking weddings up until August of 2012 when Josh starts teaching and then I'm probably going to retire for good and start having babies like a mad woman. I want 3 or 4, but we'll see.

Basic Coverage (5 hours) $2500
Extra Hour (up to two) $500/each
Engagement $500 (30-40 images on a DVD)
Bridal $500 (30-40 images on a DVD)
Second Shooter $700
10x10 28 page album $1500
8x8 24 page parent album $1000

I won't be taking any until the end of August when Solomon will be around 2 months old, so don't ask for any June or July weddings!:)

The perfect drink

January 17, 2011

While we were in Tulum, Mexico last weekend we found this awesome juice stand where you could choose all of these different fresh fruits and the lady would make you a frozen drink. I went every day, and the last day I showed up she had already closed and when I asked her if she was, she said she, "How can I say no to a pregnant lady?" and made my smoothie for the last time. 

I have been making these smoothies once a day for the last week and I am just not tired of them yet! They average around 400 calories and I would guess have 4-5 fruit servings each! I bought everything at Wal-Mart and bought the "Great Value" brand and it cost me about $15 for everything. I have made about 10 smoothies from it so far and probably still have enough to make a few more.

- a little fresh orange juice (I would say a little more than a cup)
- a few cubes of chopped pineapple (I used the canned stuff)
- a handful of frozen strawberries
- half a handful of frozen blueberries
- a good squeeze of raw honey
- a handful of ice

"Ice chop" it all together in a blender and get a LARGE straw! Enjoy!

Looks yummy, I will definitely have to try it. Here's another smoothie recipe for you: a small can of pineapple juice (8 oz), three heaping spoonfuls of plain vanilla yogurt, a banana (or two!), a handful of frozen strawberries, and a handful of frozen peaches. Blend!!! It's very yummy and the yogurt is good for you and baby! (You can change up the type of frozen fruit, it's good with any!)

Kayleigh Evans:

Both of those recipes sound amazing! I'm ready to try them!
Here's another recipe if the color of the smoothie doesn't bother you.

Christmas with the Clarks

January 4, 2011

14237.jpg
14238.jpg
This Christmas was quite different than the ones before, it is the first time that my brother and his family haven't been able to come down to visit and we were all real sad on my side of the family. Luckily, I had my fill of nieces and nephews at the Barnard's house! We had a fun night over at Justin and Marla's with Josh's family on Christmas Day. I made more videos than normal and didn't take many photos, so these are the only ones that I have to show you!
