A girly girl....

So....


this weekend will be interesting...


i have my photographer friend traci meeting


up with us to do some photo's of the kids..


and maybe...

just maybe....

some of the family.

{i hope she can photoshop this huge zit off my forehead}


Grrrrrrr.

Let me tell you right now that the husband...

does

not

like

being

told

what

to

wear.

Nope....he does not.

So, when i casually mentioned that for the sweet valentines shot

that i have in my crazy messed up artistic mind of mine.....

has to do with being in the snow....

near {this} barn.....

while wearing a certain outfit....

he pretty much told me....

you can"t tell me what to wear!

Ahem.....

so i hung up on him.

yup....i did.....

sheesh....

men are so difficult when it comes to

what we

"have in mind"

and.....

did i just not spend 8 whole days by myself..

while he roamed the city of hong kong?

Okay...

i feel a bit better now that i vented.

Anyhoo....i popped into that little place called

Anthro today...just to peek around...

and found that darling feather clip that i stuck

in my hair.

I think though....that i'll stick it in lola's hair for

the shoot....

if she let's me get her hair cut tomorrow...

and if she will take off the kimono that

bryan brought back for her from china.

yup.....

her teacher had to call me and ask if everything

was ok.......

cuz lola's had on that kimono dress all week....

yes...

all week long.

i lied and said our washer was broken...

seriously.....

like i can help it that she wears the same thing all week.

{maybe i'll take a photo for you....only if you beg me though}












Oh...and in case any of you are wondering how this week has been going...

you know...

with my workouts and all....

i'm happy to report that i'm down a quarter of a pound.

happy dance!

xo

p.s. winner of the cupcakes are:Raining pearls, Amy {lemon cottage}, and The little red shop.


and the sponsor giveaway is: Rebekah {world of rays}

I want to twirl in that divine ruffle skirt underneath that glorious ceiling! Oh how I LOVE Valentine's Day!

Mary said...

Can't wait to see the photos! And yeah...after 8 days alone with 3 kids...you should be able to pick out everything - down do the boxers. Or briefs. Whatever. And to Julie and Amy - I know you are going to read this...so remember your favorite girl when you get those cupcakes! (meaning me) I do live close to both of you afterall. I'm JEALOUS! ~mary~

super cute clip! Love the new banner too!

Chez Zizi said...

Yea, I have a husband who doesn't like to be told what to wear either. But mine also asks what I think of things (in clothes) and then does not take my advice or asks me 10 more times.
Congrats on the weight loss - any loss is a great loss (when it comes to weight).

traci said...

I can't wait til Saturday. I just know you have everything planned out. You have such vision. xo!!

Annie said...

I'm lucky that mine let's me pick out what he wears. However, he HATES family pictures! He really does not like to get them done - so that's our battle - I usually win though :)

Julie Harward said...

Glad he's home safe...men can be like that I guess..my guy, he couldn't care less, he'll wear anything I ask him to wear. Good luck with the photo shoot, sound very pretty! Come say hi :D

Preppy Mama said...

I feel your pain, mine refuses to wear what I pick out for him...I gave up years ago.
Can't wait to see your photos!! Love that feather clip!!

Amy@TheLemonCottage said...

Cupcakes! Oh my... I can't believe it. YES! And would you believe--- I JUST posted about an hour ago about how I cannot cut a stupid birthday cake. I can't... it's totally beyond me. I've banned cakes from the house and we are strictly a cupcake home now.

Can't wait to see the pictures of your family.

Thanks!

~Amy

Blondie's Journal said...

He will not let me tell him what to wear, but he will ask me over and over if what he has on looks okay...

Nancy said...

I love cupcakes, so excited :) I also love you... Can't wait to see the photo shoot and I think Mr. B will be wearing exactly what you want him to be wearing ;)

Thanks again
xoxo
Nancy

PS. We need to see Lola's kimono!

Anonymous said...

photos, not photo's
Sorry, but that bugs me!

The Flying Bee said...

Can't wait to see the pictures and what you made your hubby wear.

Yes...we need to see Lola's kimono.

xo,
Adrienne

DustyLu said...

so funny! please take pictures! lulu

Wendy said...

Hooray for you and your 1/4 lb. weigh loss. Way to go!! ;-)

Good luck on the whole photo-outfit-incooperative-husband thing. And I'm right there with ya on the kids wanting to wear the same thing everyday for a week. Sigh. They're kids after all.

xoxo

Jo said...

Feel your pain ~ I've given up on family photos. I just hope to get a few shots of my family now and then and call it good.

Hey, when you find something you like, run with it! If they'd let me, I'd wear my jammers to school everyday. :)

Simply Me Art said...

Well, Im completely Jealous, I have always wanted Traci to photo my Crazy family. I may just have to venture your way one of these days soon. Can't wait to see what you all are planning...She is one Talented Photographer. xo Jamie

The Little Red Shop said...

Cool beans (vanilla)! Thank you, Kasey! Those pictures are just lovely! I'm looking forward to seeing what fabulous things you do with your photo shoot!

: )

Julie M.

ps Hi Mary! Thank you for letting me know about my sweet win! If you want a bite of cupcake you'll have to trek on out to Washington State...I'm Midwestern by parentage...but Northwestern by birth. I think my dad's cousin Kenny still lives in your town...but I don't know if he has any cupcakes. : )

Chablis said...

I'm begging. Please take pics of Lola in her komono!

I can't wait to see how the pictures turn out, the barn backdrop sounds divine!

Lori said...

How exciting ~ pictures! Really though, family pictures are wonderful and you will all look smashing ~ I am sure. And...we do need to see the Kimono ~ yup ~ a little beg here from me.

LuLu said...

I'm begging! Pretty please with a cupcake on top show us pictures. Can't wait to see the outfits you picked out.... they are going to be sooooooo good, I ventured to anthro today too took a break from painting and am wearing my new lounge pants.... sweet!
xo,
LuLu

Leah C said...

Why can't our husbands & kids cooperate when it comes to family photos? Good luck this weekend...you're gonna need it:)

the wild raspberry said...

what a great collage.

Stephanie Hughes said...

You made me laugh out loud with this post. I had to read every line. I can remember how difficult family photos were (maybe because I have three sons). Hope your photoshoot goes well. Steph

Teresa said...

Hi Kasey!
I just had to pop over and say "thank you!"
Thank you for the wonderful time of giggles and ooooohing and aaaawing that my sister and I did while we were enjoying your blog together 2600 miles apart!
Melly lives in Alabama...
I live in Seattle...well Bainbridge Island!
Both with our laptops in laps...we scrolled down from post to post...from outfit to outfit...from girlfriend parties...through holidays!
We adore your children!
Love you little girl boots!
Laughed our heads off at your post on the hard bodies at the gym.
Melly kept saying how REAL you are! She kept talking on and on about the slipcovers you were buying at IKEA and how she needed to contact you to see how you liked them because she was going to get some for their beach house. I finally got to the IKEA cart and was like whoooooa! She is buying some slipcovers!
So...thank you Kasey!
We had such a fascinating time...
and you didn't even know you were with us!
XXOOXX

Teresa said...

Oh!
Grabbing your lovely button now!
And following also!
XXOOXX

Amanda said...

I haven't popped into Anthro in SO long because I know it will be seriously dangerous for my wallet. No self control in that place, WHATSOEVER.

Love your feather clip and hope the pictures go well! Can't wait to see how everyone cooperates and coordinates! :)

Tracy ~Seeking Refinement~ said...

so fun, can't wait to see the shoot.

and I so would have hung-up on my hubby too ... especially if he gave me attitude after I was SOLO with the kid, *stuck* at home. (she said as her husband is off frolicking with his bff fly fishing this weekend)

LOVE the new header - and that you got those shoes in there!!

xoxo

Brenna LaPray said...

The clip is so cute! I look forward to seeing some great family pics. That's right...family. That means you to Bryan and I hope you give your wife and early V-day gift and wear whatever she chooses! C'mon you know you're a good looking guy no matter what you wear!!!

Laura said...

wait, hold on...you mean it is NOT OK to wear the same thing every day?
shit.
I better go change.

Anonymous said...

you crack me up! looking forward to seeing the wonderful pictures!

Gail said...

A little coaxing & some sweet, smoothe talk should do the trick. ;) Surely he can't say no then. Maybe cook him his favorite meal?

FEDERICA said...

Looking forward to see your new photos!
Happy weekend,
Federica.

Martha said...

Yes...that seems similar to when I ask someone in this house to wear something certain for pictures...our conversations are pretty similar...you all will look beautiful in your photos! Hopefully we can have a sneak peak or see that beautiful Lola in her kimono, right?

Anonymous said...

hehe, I work from home, often wear the same thing every day ~ just wish it was a beautiful kimono!

paula said...

men, sheesh. I hope you have the best time at the shoot. when kellen got home from a trip to Mexico awhile back he bought the kids soccer uniforms, lets just say they didn't come of for quite awhile.

Unknown said...

Thanks for the morning smile!

Scott and Rebekah said...

So excited about winning the sponsor giveaway!! I love the pictures on your blog and your way of sharing your life!! Congrats on losing a 1/4 pound!! Thanks!

Jacqueline @ HOME said...

I love Lola. She sounds like me when I was a child, many centuries ago. !!!! XXXX

Lili said...

Just popped over from reading Mimi Charmante's blog and found myself hopelessly lost in yours. You ladies are amazing! --Lili

Zita - Mlle Magpie said...

Listen, Kasey, every quarter pound helps. Congrats and keep going. p.s. good luck with the photo shoot - I'm sure it will be fab, well, 'cause you're organizing the whole thing.

Laura said...

My husband (who has absolutely no style) tells me " I am not your dress up doll!" Grrrr.

Samantha2818 said...

I'm really lucky - my husband has no interest in clothes so I get to choose everything he wears. He still manages to look like a tramp though!
Love your blog and have given you a Kreativ Blogger award x

red ticking said...

just found your blog... it is amazing... i love shopping for my boyfriend... he is pretty good on his own but a little nudge here and there always helps... for all of us! have a great weekend... x pam

Jboo said...

Have fun with the photo shoot! Can't wait to see the results. I try to help Hub with his clothes, but he doesn't really appreciate it, so i have decided to keep quiet! Have a great weekend!

LOVE the pink photos Kasey, all so pretty :)

Good luck with the photos and well done on the weight loss :) xo

debra said...

I don't know why but sometimes men get offended when we try to tell them what to wear but you know with your sense of style what will look good and the over all look you're going for on the pictures. You just needed to vent. Love your hair accessory also.
