Boys

Got up out of bed the other morning and began my morning ritual of starting the coffee and tidying the kitchen and beside the sink was this. It doesn't really surprise me it just made me grin. I've been a sentimental mother lately. My oldest is quickly approaching his teens and about to start middle school and scenes like this are going to be less common. So I grabbed my camera to capture this memory forever. Thanks boys.

Birthday Boy

This past weekend Kolby turned the big 9! Where has the time gone buddy? He had a raging sleepover party with some of his buddies from school. A good time was had by all. Love you little man!

Kids

It seems to be what I shoot more than anything. You never know what you're gonna get when you're shooting these little people. When I'm in post I find myself grinning back at these precious images. How many people can say that when they go to work they can't stop smiling? I'm a lucky girl! But how could you not? Here's some of the latest cuties who made me grin....

My First Hero

I've been back from California for a couple weeks now. I had such a blessed visit with my sweet Daddy and my family. Even though he didn't always know who I was he grinned at me a couple times like he recognized me and he shared stories about his lovely daughter Alyson and his son-in-law who live in Nashville, TN. On our last day there we had to say goodbye to him and that was probably the single most painful moment of my life. Making it out there to see him was difficult to manage financially and logistically because of our kids and jobs so we knew it would probably be the last time we'd ever see him. I will miss him so but those precious days I had with him I will cherish forever.

Love you Daddy...
