Me!  Me, me, me!!!  When you search for colorado springs wedding photographers…WE ARE ON THE FIRST PAGE!!!  In the #5 spot!  I am so happy–thanks if you clicked on our link!

I have spent so much time on our googleability in the last couple of months and found out a week or two ago that there was a fundamental flaw with our site that was killing me.  Got that fixed, and WHAM!  Out of the bottom of page two and into the middle of page one!

I love Mother’s Day.  It’s my favorite holiday.

Yesterday Nic planned a day of outtings and surprises.  We started at The Egg and I–our favorite breakfast place that we haven’t been to in a long time.  A very special treat.

And then we drove.  And drove.  And drove.  I didn’t know where we were going, but we drove to the Royal Gorge Park in Canon City (a surprise for me) home to a petting zoo, and highest suspension bridge in the world.  May is military appreciation month at the park, so Nic had heard that the tickets were 1/2 off.  But even better, moms got in free, so our family got a total bargain!

Will loved seeing the trains and petting the goats.  He was very excited about the burro rides, so we waited in line forever (and I was ready to lay the smack down on an 8 year old who tried to cut)…but after all of that waiting he freaked out and didn’t ride.   But he did get a huge kick out of the trains, so it was still awesome!

Pics in the usual place. 

When he runs back to his bed from the potty at night, he does this hippity hop skipping dance that is totally cute.

He is SO good about going to the potty before we run errands.  All I have to say is “we’re going bye bye in the car.  run to the potty.” and even if he went five minutes before that, he’ll run to the potty, sit, concentrate, and pee a teeny bit.

We went to Nic’s going away work luncheon yesterday, and there was a four year old girl there that wanted to play with Will and totally didn’t get that he was TWO.  He doesn’t know how to play ring around the rosey, and doesn’t understand the rigid rules of four year olds taking turns (just take it away from him when it’s your turn) because he’s two!  But he was the same size as she was, so I could understand the confusion.

If you have a second, can you do a google search for “colorado springs wedding photographer” and then go to page 2, a couple up from the bottom, and click on our website link?  I’m working on getting us off page two, and if people click on us first when they search for those keywords, it helps bump our rankings (don’t worry, I’m doing a lot of other things, to).  It only works a couple of times, so there’s no point in doing it ten times in a row (it’s smart about ip addresses), but if various people on various computers click on our url when they search for my keywords, it can help.  Thanks!

In appreciation, maybe I’ll post some pictures today of Will and his cute haircut playing with the new game his uncle Chris sent!

It melted away as rapidly as it arrived.  A few hours of February in May and that was that.

Will’s been really into grabbing my fat in his chubby little hands.  He’ll grab my belly fat as I’m sitting on the couch…and just now he stuck his head up the back of my shirt (he likes to play “where’d willie go” that way) and grabbed two handfuls of fat.

It’s like “hey kid–maybe if you weren’t such an asshole while I try to work out to denise austen in the mornings there wouldn’t be all that fat for you to make fun of.”

Meanwhile he can’t throw stones, cause his hair is looking ri.di.cu.lous.  Someone needs a haircut BADLY.
