Potty Training Ansley: Attempt #27
In my efforts to: 1) pottytrain Ansley; and 2)emotionally "scar" my daughters when they are old enough to read this blog, I present today's blog post to you.
My new strategy for pottytraining Ansley actually involved bribing Kennedy. I brainstormed this strategy yesterday, and it actually worked! Kennedy pretended she was using the restroom and talked Ansley into using her little toilet. Brilliant. Sorry if this blog is a little too revealing into the Applegate household, but it is what it is. By tomorrow, I will need some new child psychology strategies after Ansley figures out this devious plan. We'll see, maybe it will work, maybe not. I guess it's our main goal to get Ansley out of diapers by the time the new baby arrives in early August.

Last Shameless Photography Plug
Okay, I lied in my last post. THIS is my last plug for my new photography business, Kelly Applegate Photography. Help me people! Do you have any better ideas for Photography business names? To reiterate, I'm looking to do as many photoshoots this summer for every reason under the sun.
Please contact me to take your photos... if you choose to pay me or not, I really don't care! :) I look forward to practicing on my family and friends and sharing these photos with you (I'm also excited for the new camera we are about to purchase... although I'm wondering if maybe I should buy a 90-inch awesome-looking HD TV for the same price... manybe not.)
Again, my contact info: kapplegate44@hotmail.com or 317-773-5686. Check out my new photo blog at: kellyapplegatephotography.blogspot.com.
Cheers! Look forward to pics of my family in the next blog... I promise.

New Photography Business - Applegate Photography?
Hello everyone... In today's blog, I'm sharing the fact that I am starting/building a photography business. Over the next year or so, I hope to continue improving my photography skills, improving my equipment, and do as many "shoots" as possible (portraits, newborn shots, weddings, senior pictures, and so on).
With that being said, my photography fees will be very discounted throughout the rest of this year. My main goal is to take as many photos as possible, especially this spring and summer. So... please feel free to let me take pictures for you and/or family (my contact info is as follows: kapplegate44@hotmail.com or 317-773-5686). I can provide more samples of my photos if anybody is interested in see more of my portfolio. Again, please let me take your photos... I look to forward to practing my photograpy on you all and giving you a DVD with the photos and "edits".
In summary, I hope this blog doesn't come across as a shameless plug! Ultimately, I'm hoping to stay as busy as possible this summer.
P.S.I also would like to thank Matt and Heather for giving me the opportunity to recently take their maternity photos (see below). Again, photography is really, really, really fun... I most love the challenge of capturing "true moments" in the lives of people.
P.S.S. I promise I will dedicate my next blog post to lots of updated pictures of the kiddos.

Ansley's Dalmation Birthday
Only my lovely wife Molly can blend her love of coloring with planning a 2-year-old birthday party (and yes, she really likes to color... I'm little jealous of her coloring skills). Yes, Ansley loves dalmations; in fact, this theme edged out "Dinosaurs" by a very thin margin... both of these themes are a little different from Kennedy's "pink" themed 2-year-old party.
Our little "Ans" is getting bigger and with age it's really fun to watch her and Kennedy develop a close friendship... and rivalry. Ansley is the jokester of our family and is also known for her sweetness and dragging her massive blanket around. She's also well known for saying "I can do it" (of course, what 2-year-old doesn't say this?).
Happy birthday Ans! Start thinking about your theme for next year. I'm sure that Kennedy has her birthday theme planned for the next few years... maybe she can help you brainstorm.
