I have this feeling that somehow I've left some names off the list of people who have reported their loss… so if I missed your name, please let me know:)

YAHOOOOSKI!!!!!!!!!

And as always, a post without a picture… unacceptable.

Too bad I have ZERO ideas…

UMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM……….

How about my 1st grade photo? Lame? Maybe… at least it's something:)

 

Isn't it funny how I look EXACTLY the same as that now… just bigger (with red hair). It's like that with baby photos of me, too…. I never really change that much, I just get older. And by the way… don't be mad at me for putting all of my hair on one side… it made me feel pretty… even if it was long and nappy;)

 

Okay, I clearly don't have enough updaters up there… so, time to get on it!

Love, bobbi:!:

PS. A quick update re: my Invisaligns.  I hardly notice they're there anymore… it's a NIGHT and DAY difference from a week ago… I can ALREADY see a difference in the straightness of my teeth.

PPS. As always, you can join anytime… just add your name in the comment section:D

 

 

annie+ben+andrew

 

 It's "long-time bobbi+mike family clients on the blog" week:)

Andrew has a faux hawk… and I'm obsessed with it!

 

 

 

 

 

 Mikey's view…

 

 

 My view:)

 

 

 

 

 

 Can you tell what book that is?

 

 

 I couldn't resist the dramatic light… GO FIGURE! Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 

 AHHHH… EXPLOOOODING WITH CUUUUUUTENESSSSSS!!!! There's that faux-hawk again!

 

 

 Someday, when Andrew is allll grown up… he'll have this sitting on his desk at work… I'll betchya $10 I'm right!  This is definitely my favorite!:!:

 

 

 Andrew is always throwing his hands in the air and shaking them really fast.  Ben said he's saying "what's uppppppp?!?!?!!"

 

 

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.  Yes yes yes… Third time we've photo'd THIS family too. 

First time: they were already married and wanted some photos of just the two of them before they had babies…. an interesting tidbit: I asked them that day when they were officially planning on "trying to conceive" Annie's response, "today!" So here's a photo from the DAY they started trying to make Andrew… isn't that cool?!

 

 Taken July 16, 2007

 
 
Second time: Andrew was just about 3 weeks old… 

 

Taken almost exactly one year later on July 7, 2007.
 
 
 

And now, the third time… he's 5 months!

Annie and Ben are SUCH perfect parents, as you can CLEARLY tell by looking at these images.  It's so neat to have known them before parenthood, during pregnancy and now… the parents of an infant.:D

I KNOW that Annie LOVES getting Andrew's photos taken…. so I KNOW that that baby will be making MANY appearances on this blog… and JUST like Miles… I have a feeling we'll be shooting his senior portraits, too! 2026;)(For some reason, typing these years makes me giggle).

Oh… and on a side note… if you want to eat the MOST amaaaaaazing food EVER check out her VERY popular cooking blog!  I swear to you, as I've said on nearly every blog entry I've ever written about her… this woman is Martha Stewart.;)

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

 

Here's Mike taking my favorite photo from above.:)

 

;)

 

 HAHAHAHAHAAAA!!!!!!!

 

:!:+:?:

 

betsy+john+miles

 

OHHHHH HOW WE LOOOOOVE THIS FAMILY!!!!!!

 

My favorite:!:

 

 The Internet famous Miles hasn't made an appearance on this blog in quite a while… it was SO time! Mikey's favorite:?:

 

 

SOOOOO FLIPPING ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 Betsy requested a photo for a canvas to put above her bed… here's what we came up with.  I say… HOT HOT HOTTTT!!!! (PS. I want some boots like that!)

 

 

 


 

 

 Perfect.

 

 

FORT WAYNE, Ind. As I already mentioned, we love this family OH SO MUCH! Betsy and John, as many of you know, are both INCREDIBLY talented. Betsy runs a super successful photography business in Fort Wayne and John is a composer of marching band shows.  Yeah… talk about DRIPPING in talent!

Many of you may remember Betsy and John from the AMAAAAAAAZING wedding of Cassie and Jason (where we got to help them out).:)

However, I'm SURE that most of you will remember the ADORABLE Miles! Miles gets more blog requests than anyone here in bobbi+mike land.

"Hey Bobbi, when is Miles going to be making an appearance on the blog?"

"We haven't seen Miles in a while!"

"How's that baby doing who said your name on that video?!"

This is the third time we've photo'd this amazing family…

 

First time: two months old.

 

2nd time: 9 months old

 

And…. you just saw the third time:)

 

It really is the absolute best part about our jobs…. watching families grow.  Hopefully someday we'll get to take his senior photos.;)CLASS OF 2025 BABY! HAHAHAHAHA!

Betsy and John… two of our favorite people in the whole world…. thank you THANK YOU for being some of our best friends. :) 

LOOOOOOOOOVE YOUUUUUUU GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!

~bobbi+mike:!:+:?:

 

 And how do you make a baby laugh?! You act like a monkey!  (See the first photo for the result)


 

 

 Who ever knew chimpin' could look so good?!

 

:D

healthy train | week 8.

 

So… I didn't lose anything these past couple of weeks.  As a matter of fact, I gained a pound :(  So, my total weight loss is 7.8 lbs. Thanksgiving is a tough time of year… but whatever… there's always this week!  I've been beating myself up about it… but I know that this past week (AFTER Thanksgiving) I gave it more than I have ANY other week because I just KNEW I gained over the holiday (I refused to weigh myself;)) So, here's to all of us WORKING IT OUT this week!  

The bummer is that because of Thanksgiving, I don't think I'm going to be making my Christmas goal :(  Losing 3 lbs a week just isn't healthy, likely, or practical.  SOOOO, I'm changing it:)Don't me mad!  HA!  My new goal is to lose 13.5.  I'm cheating, oh well… it's my damn list! HA!

Enough about me… let's talk about you.

As of our November 21st weigh in… we had 49 people weigh in. Out of those 49, we've lost a total of 218 lbs! WOW TO THAT NUMBER!!!!!!!

And HERE they are;)

For those of you who have been following me on Twitter… you know that I officially started the Invisalign treatment yesterday. 

Here's my first impression:

  • not as comfortable as I was hoping for… but I'm sure that's the case the first week for everyone
  • the little tooth colored circle things they attach to the front of my teeth look funny and make eating difficult… i always feel like I have something in my teeth.
  • another thing about eating… it's a pain because I have to take them out after EVERY time i eat then brush my teeth before i put them back in.  so, the thought of eating annoys me… HELLO DIET BONUS!!!!!!!
  • i can already feel my teeth moving, yay!
  • i have an AWFUL lisp.  my brides name for tomorrow is Elissa:)Say THAT wish a lisp!;)
  • because they're moving my "snaggle tooth" first… (that front tooth that's behind the bottom teeth) I can't close my bite all of the way
  • this has got to still be better than metal braces
  • it dries my mouth out MAJORLY so I'm drinking all of my water! HELLO DIET BONUS!!!!!!!!!
  • i keep kind of gagging because I'm not used to having big plastic things in my mouth… it's not cute.

 

That's about it really… I don't mean to be all negative about it… it's just still so foreign to me… but I'm sure I'll get used to it soon.  The best part… these betties will be off by my birthday on June 14!  (which is the ultimate goal date with this healthy train) YAHOOOOOOOSKI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmm…. a post without a picture?! HMMMMM… Let me think of something….

I KNOW!!!!!

The other week I went around our studio and took some photos to start planning what we're going to put on the walls. Would you believe that we've been here since May and have not ONE thing on our walls?! WAY TO GO TEAM BOBBI+MIKE!!!!!!! Anyway… I know that many of you have been wanting ot see more since I put up that LAME tease photo a few months ago.

SOOOO… HEEEERE YOUUUUU GOOOOOO!!!!

 

This is going to be our viewing area… where our clients can come in and see/order their photos on the big screen (insert screen to the right of the pillar).  Those blinds have got to go… anyone have any ideas? They're 8 feet tall on a 13 foot wall… So yeah… all of our window covering options are QUITE pricey.  

 

Well guys, thanks for keeping me motivated and holding me accountable… I PROMISE to do better next week… PROMISE!!!!!!!!

Now it's YOUR turn to tell me how YOU did.  

LOVE TO YOU!!!!!
