Jackson, Ella and Marley ;)

Yes, we got a new family member, Marley, she's a cockapoo, full of energy and currently in Puppy Kindergarden. I highly recommend anyone with a puppy to hire a personal trainer. If you live in this area, Keith Walker is the BEST!








Marley was Brent's fathers day present


So I let her wear the blue harness for that week, NOW she sports her PINK one. hee hee

playing around with SUNFLARE




MY Prince and Princess


Ella's new one eyed look ahahhah!





I have tons to edit this week then next week I hope to get TONS camping, my brother in law, sister and law and niece will be in town so I'm SUPER excited to get photos of all of us together.
Hope everyone has a great 4th God Bless!

OH and I emailed most of my family friends this but here is a you tube video for everyone else.
It's called God's Mess.
How God changed these peoples life.
It's really AMAZING!

Gorgeous Parents to be and SO sweet

together. I LOVED shooting this maternity session. They are both super sweet people and have awesome personalities, I'm positive they will make the BEST parents. I really enjoyed photographing them, it didn't hurt they are very photogentic ;)
I can't wait to meet Baby A very soon!

Here are quite a few of K and S.

J is having a very minor surgery friday but still Pray

that everything will go ok and he will be ready to get back to all activities asap!
Tubes are Friday AM.
Prayers appreciated!

School is over but the parties are still going strong.

Here is Jackson with some of his best buddies from his class. then one of Ella she was in a "mood", ;)

I wish I had taken more that day but I got busy chatting!

Took the kids to get some photos of them ahahahha

This is WHY you should HIRE someone else to take photos of your own children!
Mine will ham it up at home in their pj's on location it's a NO GO!

Looks like i'll be calling a photog friend soon!

here is what I got, and it's not the best or even good in anyway!
Well, I will say Jackson was at least trying, Miss Ella was in super Diva mode.

just being silly in the car

as you will notice most of E are her walking away ahahahah!














I thought these were sweet of my daddy and the kids their 'papaw'







Hmmmmmmm I need to go back and look I'm POSITIVE I got lots more of Jackson that are really good of him alone.

I'm PULLING OUT MY HAIR! why oh why is

my post photos still cutting off the right side! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

ok going to figure it out!

Kinder Graduate!

I can't believe my baby boy is a kinder graduate and what a great year it was.
He got Acedemic Excellence, which is getting lots of 4's on grade cards. (4=above grade level)
we are SO proud. He LOVED everything about school, he made some great friends, had a wonderful teacher, it was just an all around awesome experience for all of us.

Now we are busy with Baseball camps (baseball is over but there are THREE camps), Cub Scouts, you name it, I don't know where we will fit
Ella in for activities when she gets older! I know I want her to try dance and i'm hoping she will LOVE that and want to do it for many years.

In just a year, he seems so much older, the way he talks, looks just everything. Sometimes I just get teary eyed thinking about it, you know that song by kenny chesney DON'T Blink really hits home to me.
the part where it says "your 6 years old and you take a nap you wake up and your 25"
Oh my that tears me UP!

I thank God I have 2 awesome kids, and i'm so proud of them.
I pray they will always be first Healthy and Happy! That is all that really matters.

OK now for the photos they were QUICK and not the best at all but I wanted to share anyways.

I'll have to scan his Cap/Gown photo. Those were for photos only, the grad ceremony was a luau theme.

Mr. Martin giving him his diploma.

Mrs. Nolf, the BEST Kinder teacher, More than I could ever have hoped for in a teacher.


Mrs. Seter, an awesome Teachers' Assistant.


Just a few of the 21 students



Last but NOT least, Miss "M" we here all about her, J loves her to pieces!
