My kids remind me to Pray Hard and Keep Climbing {{PERSONAL}}

I love looking through snapshots and seeing my kids, it's true they know to Pray Hard and Keep climbing until you reach the top.
This reminds me you can't just wish for something you do have to pray about it AND keep on climbing up until you reach the top.
I LOVE YOU Jackson and Ella to the Moon and Back!

{{{ Personal }}} Snapshots and Goodbye Marley :(

Well so much for blogging daily or even a few times a week i've been SLAMMED!!!
But I wanted to share some snaps of MY family and things going on with us.
For right now we have 2 more weddings and a few more portrait sessions to end 2009 and WOW what an AMAZING year it has been.

It's almost Thanksgiving and I have SO much to be Thankful for. My list is WAY to long but I'll condense one really fast.

God has blessed us way more than I deserve. My family is AWESOME!! My Friends are AWESOME!! My clients are AWESOME!!

I'm SO thankful for my family being happy and healthy, always having what we need and mostly what we want, a neverending support system for our business, I could go on and on but I really am thankful for EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in my life!

On a sad note, we found Marley (our cockapoo) a new family ironically their names are also Brent&Monica. This was a hard decision especially for Brent but we did it for Marley with our crazy schedules she didn't get the attention she and EVERY dog deserves. She is doing GREAT with them and they are just two awesome people. They keep us updated, we still get to see her photos and we are able to visit her if we want, right now I think it's too soon but one day after she is all the way adjusted I would want to see her.
I'm going to share some photos of Marleys' last week with us.
There were lots of tears, mostly from Brent&I.

Then finally sharing some snapshots from Halloween and random snaps of the kids.

Lots more to come like Ella's 3rd Birthday!







it takes a real man who is selfless and who loved this dog SO much enough to know
he was doing this for her no matter how hard it hurt and still hurts him, I love you Brent and i'm so proud of you!
