"so yummy, so yummy"

Above is a clip from a new show on Nick Jr, Yo Gabba Gabba. We used the hypnotizing effects of this video last night to encourage the boys to finish all of their dinner. And on top of our brainwashing tactics working perfectly, the boys also learned the song instantly, and little Tyler was walking around singing the chorus all night. "there's a party in my tummy..so yummy, so yummy!"

drumroll, please!!!!!

Unless you've been hiding under a rock for the past 8 months, or you're just one of those people who looks at blogs of people you don't know - you know that I started a photography business this year that has totally taken off. In addition to 15 weddings so far, I have had the blessing of taking thousands of photos of many, many people. And, if you know me, you know that this is a perfect fit for me because I love people, and I love seeing and capturing them through the lense of my camera. So, it's a HUGE thrill for us to be able to announce the launch of the new website for ashley parsons photography:
www.ashleyparsons.com
The site is still incomplete, as there are some more pics that need to be added to the gallery, but for now, I am glad to release it and encourage you to check up in a few more weeks if you want to see even more.
If you want to keep up on what we are doing in regards to the business, or updates of my professional work, check the blogsite:

Thank you all for the encouragement you have offered so far in this grand year of 2007! It has been overwhelming the support you have all given me in my work and it has really been what has given me the guts to jump head first into this endeavor.
It's a totally wild ride, and I am thrilled to share it with you all!
I also want to say a special thanks to our good friend, Zak, for designing the most kick-arse website I could have ever imagined!

Lovingly,
ash

busy month!!

I cannot believe it has been one month since I posted on here. So much has happened and life has been incredibly busy! Apart from being parents of increasingly active and animated 2 & 3 year old boys, Jeremy changing jobs, housesitting for some friends for 2 weeks, and me photographing 3 weddings, life has been nuts!! Amidst the craziness, there have been some added joys - the collage details a few of them for you.
1. A great "annual" summer visit from our dearest parent friends - the Kayls. Don't ask me how we did it for a week with 5 boys under the age of 4 in one house, the parents were outnumbered by the children - It was a miracle, but we had an incredible time together.
2. My good friend, lauren, got engaged! To celebrate, we went out to the Plaza to eat - that's her beautiful pave' engagement band on a pack of sweet&lo. And, to top it all off, yours truly is their wedding photographer!! It will be the first wedding I have photographed close friends, and I can't wait!!
3. Jeremy, the world's greatest husband, took me away to a beautiful little bed and breakfast in Parkville for some time away from our busy lives. It was also a celebratory weekend, talking about his job change, and getting excited for what's next with the photography business. It was a wonderful time just enjoying each other, relaxing, walking around that charming little town. I love the HOT picture of him on the railroad tracks. I increasingly believe that he may be the funniest guy on the planet. To keep up on him, and check out his brilliant musings, check out his blog at: www.jeremyparsons.blogspot.com
4. My dear friend, Genny, who is shown pregnant in one of the last images went into labor and yours truly was there to be her doula. I was proud and honored to assist Genny through a beautiful, all natural childbirth - just what she wanted! She was a rockstar, and had a BEAUTIFUL baby girl - Lucy! Congrats, Walker Fam! We love you.



so that's all for now. thanks for checking in.
