You know, all that really matters is that the people you love are happy and healthy. Everything else is just sprinkles on the sundae. ~Paul WalkerDolly and I have been friends since junior high and have grown up together. It’s such a blessing to still be great friends now.

Lane has been counting down the days to start school. This morning his attitude had changed and he was NOT going to school. Did I mention he is not a morning person? He’s used to some chocolate milk and morning cartoons to ease into the day. I also forgot to bring his backpack….school and backpack […]

The one meal I can make and everyone likes it is tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches. Ryder had 3 bowls today and I think he may have had more, but we ran out! I think I wiped his face and hands down half a dozen times.Grilled cheese and tomato soup is the ultimate comfort […]

    For a class I’m taking called the Documentary Approach, I needed to capture a day in the life. I LOVE this assignment and I’m sure will treasure these pictures in later years.~Time spent with family is worth every second.

I took the boys down to an old water plant that is just the walls remaining to get some pictures on a nice Wednesday during spring break. I dressed them in jean jackets and cowboy boots to give the clothing a more timeless feel.  I hadn’t been to this location in over 20 years so […]

I went with light blues and dark blues for Easter clothing colors for the kids. I am still taking my studio light  class so more practice with the kids:) I can’t even tell you how hot and sweaty and agitated I felt after taking these, but I am happy with the results so it was […]
