Olivia's Trash the dress session

I have been wanting to do a "trash the dress" session with a bride and I also wanted to some pics of liv in her flower girl dress because I did not have a chance to at the wedding so I took the opportunity of being up in the wild flowers to do a little mini session with her! My beautiful girl!

This weekend we had a large gathering for fourth of

July........at our favorite camping spot that we have camped at for a couple of years now. We started camping here with the Lanes about three years ago and it is a special spot. I so enjoyed watching Olivia play with all her freinds, and have so much fun! Love watching my kiddos grow and explore! Love that Olivia loves to camp, and Elijah loves to be outside as well. Elijah sleeps like a champ when we camp! I love my family! So thankful for them!

8 months old......almost 9

This was the first month that I almost ran out of time to take this months pics! This month was definately a whirlwind! So here are a few of Elijah at 8 months.

My Best Friends wedding!

My best freind got married! I love to see prayers answered! We prayed about this one for a couple of years and it's so fun to see the answered prayers! I could go on and on about why I love Jilliann, but I need to go to sleep! So happy for the two of you, Jilliann and Scott!

Long time no post.

I AM A SLACKER! No actually I have been soooooooooooooo busy. So here is what I have been up to! A little camping.....a little painting..........a little freaking out! Fortunately I don't have a pic of that! This weekend we will do a little more camping, with some of our favorite people and then family pics and then off to be a Maitron of Honor at Jilliann's wedding. oh and don't worry pics to come from that!

Racing mind.

yes it never stops, this morning I woke up thinking about the yarn paintings that are still in my classroom, side note, I finally cleaned out my classroom. Weird. It's really not mine anymore. I thought since it was summer and Dan is home that life would slow down..................well not yet anyways. Here are a couple of pics of recent happenings. Don't get my wrong I am soooooo excited about all the photo shoots and fun to come this summer, but I feel like I have been slammed with things to do the last couple of weeks that are just not getting done!

I keep trying.

I keep trying to get more pics, I promise I am not a perfectionist but I do know what I want and I do keep doing till I get it. Yes I am strong willed, and thats were Olivia gets it from. I did to more impromtu photo shoots but not yet the three year old pics. I want to do those somwhere I have not taken pics before of her. Might have to wait until Michigan.

Still trying for her "3" year old pics.

not that I don't take pics of Olivia all the time because I do, but I really want some really good three year old pics, I want to find the perfect outfit and have her hair the perfect way and all that. So my parents were in town, and my sis in law bought me a super cute umbrella, which I am going to use for her maternity pics! I can't wait! But anways thought it would be super cute to use them for liv's pics, and because I had help, with my parents being here. I thought it would be perfect. So liv and I set out to take pics and the wind came out of nowwhere and the sun came shining from the perfectly overcast sky's that were out and the it turned out to be a mess so those will have to happen another day, but with all that said, here are the two pics that I did get from that day!

7 months and what a happy Boy!

We love this smiley little boy! He is one of the happiest babies I have ever seen. We are loving every moment we get with the little firecracker.

New Blog

because my other blog is no longer allowing me to add pictures, this is my new blog. It will be more of a photoblog. But I will still blab on about the crazy thoughts in my head. Which today just happens to be about being passive aggresive. hahhahah I was talking about this with a freind a couple of weeks ago, I was sharing how I have to stop myself from being passive aggressive expecially on here. Sometimes I just want to rant about how I am feeling on here, when people tick me off but I guess that would be being passive aggresive so I guess I just stick to sorting out my thoughts in my Journal and with God, becuase he usually changes my heart and I am able to get over it, without having to chew the person out or blow up at them. So anyways there is my first random thoughts for the new blog post. Now to do some work on this blog so I can post until they tell me there is no more picture space available. Becuase what is a blog without pictures.
