Photo Session

Now that we have 2 children, I find myself taking tons of pictures trying to get the "perfect" shot. I have quickly realized that the "perfect" shot does not exist (at least not with me behind the camera!). The more "home sessions" we have and the more I look at the pictures, I find myself treasuring the multiple "not so perfect" shots because they tell the true story of our lives so much more perfectly than that "perfect shot" I once longed for. I hope these pictures make you smile as much as they do me!

Beautiful Fall Day

I love this tree in our front yard. We have enjoyed watching the leaves change colors this fall....what a wonderful reminder of God's power and His gift to us in His creation.

School Halloween Party

This year Braden wanted to be a pirate and a firefighter for Halloween. Since we already had the costume for dress up (thanks JoJo!), he got his wish! He was a pirate for his school party and a firefighter for Trunk or Treat. Hopefully next year we can decide on one costume! He was so happy (and shocked) when Ryan surprised him by showing up at his party. He loves his Daddy!

Special Time with my 4 Year Old

On Braden's birthday, I took donuts to his school and stayed during story time. He did a wonderful job leading the prayer before snack time and was so proud to have me there....so sweet!

Happy 4th Birthday!

Getting ready for the big party!
Opening a few presents.
Braden celebrated his 4th birthday at Monkey's Treehouse with lots of family of friends. We had a great time and it was definately easy...we had the whole place to ourselves and they did everything which made it worth it! Blake was not feeling well because he had an ear infection but he was a trooper and "let" his big brother have a wonderful day!
4 Years ago the Lord blessed us and entrusted us with a wonderful gift. We are truly grateful for a sweet little boy and another wonderful year as his parents!
