First Post {My Family}

Posted on May 24, 2009

Hello and welcome to my new blogsite! I wanted the benefits of a blog and the benefits of a website so now I have all of that lumped into one. YAY!!! I wanted to highlight something especially special to me as the first official post here at my new blog and decided I wanted to show off my little family. My good friend Susanne of Dream Street Photography captured these for us. I LOVE THEM!!! Susanne did an amazing job capturing the REAL us – Kate running around, David sneaking smooches, us laughing and just being us – beautifully unrehearsed and natural. Thank you Susanne!! I’m forever thankful for these priceless family images of us

It’s hard to pick an ultimate favorite, but I think this just might be it. LOVE how Kate has her eyes shut as she accepts a kiss from Daddy, so sweet! And props to Susanne for this rock star pose. Love how we are separated, but still together…just cool stuff.

Sweet Kate! Love the hands on her hips…adds an extra bit of attitude to the shot don’t you think?

Now I ADORE this one cause it shows the real us…David and I just sitting back watching Kate run, run, run. Also love how it captures Claire in her most loved pass time – hand chewing.

These just make my heart swell with happiness. Love my family. Love the greenery. Sigh…I just love, love, love these images.

Cool outfit with totally rad shoes – Check. Ability to ignore the Germans staring at you making out in public – Check. Totally in love with each other – double check!

And finally this one. Gosh I will cherish this image forever. For starters my sweet hubby is the one who talked us into stopping the car and capturing this, it was towards the end of the shoot and the kiddos really needed to get home, but at the last minute we stopped to take in this amazing backdrop. SOOO glad we listened to him. I loved this picture the second I saw it, but now that he’s left for his deployment I love it even more. I’ve got an amazing man, glad I have some images of not only us with our beautiful family, but also with just the two of us.

Yup…I love my hubby

Posted on July 9, 2008

If you know me at all…or even if you just randomly read my blog you probably have figured out I love my husband. Not just a little bit, I mean I love him a TON. We have a really great relationship and enjoy fun, off the wall conversations and lots of laughter, well laughter from me. My hubby is more of a chuckler. I’m the one who belly laughs.

So recently my friend Susanne, did a family photo shoot for us, but Kate was more interested in choosing rocks and running off than posing, so we took the opportunity to capture a few of David and I in all our glory. :D Here is a sneaky peek at my favorite from the session:

Totally fun to have this image of us. Thanks Susanne!

Good Morning

Posted on June 27, 2008

Look what greeted me the other morning when I woke.

My sweet stud made me a PB&J for breakfast (lately it’s been my breakfast of choice). I woke feeling hungry and grouchy and stumbled into the kitchen to make myself a PB&J and to my joy he’d made me one without me asking, requesting or even slightly suggesting it! He knew it’s what I would have made myself, so being the sweetie he is he made me one before he headed out to work before I was even awake!

Yup, he’s awesome. He’s thoughtful. He’s a fabulous provider, protector and hands off winches…he’s MINE!
