I miss my computer

I was in Styers Market with my mother the other day when I came across a sign. "A Clean House is a Sign of a Broken Computer." Although I clean on a regular basis I find this comment true. I have done so much in the past few days that I am up in arms what to do with naptime. The good thing is I can just plop on the couch and cuddle with Maddie knowing that all my chores are done. Thanks to my sister, I have the coolest domestic toy to fool around with for a while. The Hoover Floormate! Oh is it heaven for any domestic godess such as myself. It scrubs you lenoleom, laminate, tile, any hardsurface really. Better yet it sweeps the floor first, washes, and then dries. I did all the hard surfaces last night and today I have intentions on doing my bathroom upstairs. So exciting I know. So once again I am sorry I have no pics howeer my wonderful husband is going to buy me a new computer once September rolls around. I have a feeling that this will make my like a whole heck of a lot more exciting, and Steph...you'll finally have something to do at work (LOL). I miss all of you.

It's gonna be a while.....

Before I post anything on this blog. I came in on Saturday to do my usual Eat Breakfast, and surf, when what to my suprise...the computer was dead. Deader than a doornail. The power supply just went and now I am searching for a new machine. I am hoping to buy a new computer within the next few months, but for now I have to live on my hubbys work laptop just to keep up. I will keep you updated. I leave you with this....nothing. Enjoy

Growing Tired

I think Mason might be getting sick of the little black box on Mommy's face. I suppose I should retire for a while..........ok may 20 mintues


Enjoy!

My Big Bowl of Boy Part II

I retook yesterday afternoon, what do you think?

Mason in a Bowl

Talk about a bowl full of Goodness. Look at him!!!

My Beautiful Girl

Madeline. I took this before she went to bed tonight. I am so in love with her little face!!!

Enjoy

My Other Other Man

This is Buddy. He is good at lots of things. And so on. I love this Little Man so much! Sometimes I don't even think my own children are as half a big fan as my Nephew is of me. He is just so thrilled whn he sees me, and when he is over Nan's all he wants is for "No! "B" do it." I just love them way he looks at me and smiles and just loves my company. This is for you San, the BEST little Man!!

Lovin my PSE6

I am totally hooked. It really runs great on my computer, slow at times but ugh, I am so in love. The RAW plug in is so much more than what is was with 4.0. You have so many more options and choices. Here is just a shot I took of Cam and Maddie yesterday playing. I so wish I was on the other side, but the two of them wouldn;t let me get a word or picture in edgewise. Enjoy

This is what 45.8 pounds looks like

Off my body that is. I have been on WW now since January....with a lot of help from my Aunt aka Girlfriend, I have finally reached my goal weight. We have lost a total combined of almost 100 lbs! Thats alot of weight. I have been avoiding self portraits since forever. I did this on a whim, with inspiration from an awesome photography board that my sister brought me to (thanks a million San), and this was

the outcome....Bonnie Richardson at 191 lbs EEEK!!!!!

Can you believe it?

I am really going at this blogging thing full force. My BFF tells me how I need to update in myspace. I frankly don;t really like myspace all that much and thinking about canceling. It gives my computer problems. Any how. I whipped out a white sheet and put my little prince down, and fired away. I am still a little rusty with my settings so bare with me.

Enjoy!

PS San......I am not to pleased with the way they turned out but I think I figured out problem, My aperture was all the way down to 1.4 I believe. I should have used AV mode I guess. Still learning

The Many Faces of Maddie

SO.....I was in Giant yesterday in the checkout lane when I was doing my usual dazing. When out in the corner of the eye appeared a phrase...."I love my girl Maddie". I gazed over to find what made my stomach churn. It was a picture of new teen Jamie Lynn Spears with her new baby Maddie. She wasn't even pretty enough to be called what came close to Maddie, nor did I even want to recognize that my Daughter has the same name as......you know what I am going to say right? I guess I was upset at first but realized....nothing can come close to my Maddie.

My Girl Maddie. Enjoy

Sparklers....again

This is by far the funnest thing to do with your camera.

BTW......This is a little shout out to my big boy Nephew who is learning how to use the potty, and is very good at it. I am so proud of you Bud! Aunt B loves you so much!

On my street........

Are some of the most amazing kids. We have really good neighbors (budding into great friendships) that live on our street. Two of which we spend lots of good times together. We went swimming last night down the street and I took some pics of D's and C's kiddos. They are tooooo cute for words. They thought I was funny, but soon grew tired of it really fast. Enjoy

Mason

So Mason is growing :(. He is such a good little boy. I am truly so lucky to have such a well behaved (I know I am going to ewat my words in 2 years), loveable little boy. I am so much in love with him. He is my Little Prince to whom I feel so Royally Lucky to have in my life. He is usually found sitting or jumping with two of his favorite fingers in his mouth. Enjoy

PS....Also here is a random one of Maddie waiting for the Parade on the 4th

Southampton Days 2008

I am a little late posting on this 4th of July but I have had problems with the computer and I know think I have it figured out. I took all of these photos in RAW in error and I finally found the plug in for PSE4. Maddie and her Daddy had a really good time on the rides. Enjoy. (Here Sissy I posted! LOL)

Bringin Cutie Back

Mason that is...I took a few of him on the couch today and he just ate it all up. It was like he was posing today. Enjoy

Light Trails

So cute...Last night when the children were in bed, I wanted to play around outside with Craig, my camera, and my sparklers. Still trying to get the hang of it but some turned out pretty cool. Craig tried to spell Craig -heart- Bonnie, he did some sort of heart beat, and then I tried to write out I love you, you can tell byt not as clear as I hoped. Enjoy

Just thought I would share

I am doing pretty good with blogging. I took some pics of Maddie and I outside. Enjoy

Self Soothing

Mason got a Jumperoo yesterday and absoultley LOVEs it. So much that he bounced himself to sleep. Here is a quick snap shot...Enjoy

Maddie and Sissy

When Sissy came over last night, right before dinner, Maddie got into some pics with Steph. Ofcourse she poses for her. Not for me. Not for the biggest treat in the world. Enjoy!

Belly Shot

My BFF Stephanie is pregnant with her first, so exciting. She is having a baby boy. Ernest Paul Winkler the III. I am so excited to meet him. Only a few more months. I took some shots of Steph outside in my back yard. Enjoy

To Steph:

I have never seen a more beautiful Pregnant Women. You are glowing truly with grace and joy. I am so happy for you and Ernie. I cannot think of any two people in this world more deserving of a child then yourselves. I see how the both of you care for my children and only can imagine how lucky your son will be. I look forward to the next year of our lives together. Growing and bonding with our children. I am going to stop now or I will cry...LOL.

Love You

How does Your Garden Grow

Well mine is inherited by my mother-in-law I guess you can say and at time it grows quite wierd. I have a rose bush out back, or should I call it a rose stalk. One rose comes out of the ground all by its lonesome and here it is, so pretty though, and most importantly it's pink...My Favorite color. Maddie is so tempted to pick it but I just try and stear her another way. Another is a picture of this white fluffy stuff next to it that actually smells funny. Enjoy
