A Little Peice Of Me......

I would like you all to meet two of the most important men in my life......Tyler (my stepson) who is a 15 year old whiz kid, who loves music, and anything that revolves around music!! and Codi my 11 year old son, who is passionate about everything!! lol right now it seems to be Pokemon!! It is very rare that they let me take their pictures, so i took advantage.... ( OK Internet maybe i did bribe them with a trip to the mall if they let me get a few good shots!)
Anyways I'll will stop gabbing and let you see two of the most handsome boys in the world!! (yes I'm a gushing mother, but that's OK right???) ;0P

Jessica~Portfolio Shots

Jessica is a rare beauty, she is tender, kind hearted, funny, and loving. She is the the kind of person who doesn't realize that she is "old School" Gorgeous...and by that i mean, when i look at Jessica i see Pinup model extraordinaire Dita Von Teese, Or Marilyn Monroe or Jean Harlowe or even a young Elizabeth Taylor.....Thank you Jess for being my Model and for letting me play....You my dear are breath taking!


Doesn't this just scream pin up????
