capturing life through pictures...

July pretty much looked like this.  Hot summer days had us in the water as much as possible.  Between our creek bank and papa’s pool we stayed cool.  The kids love the outdoors and they are finally all getting big enough where it feels a little easier to get out to the water with them. […]

This weekend we hosted our very own Independence Day Bash!  It was a blast and sometimes you just feel that special feeling when something is right… we felt it, and decided for sure that this is a new family tradition! When were young, traditions are so valuable to us.  We look forward to each expecting […]

Hey friends! For a long time now, I’ve been in the season of “BUSY MOMMY”…  it’s hard to find time to even comb my hair let alone read a book, work out, or enjoy some quite time.  Every mom is different and every mom knows their boundaries and limits, so for me, I knew it […]

This month has been interesting… adjusting to no school, slow mornings, late nights, and lots of summer adventures! It’s also blueberry season in these parts so we set out to do some picking this week… My parents have a blueberry farm so that’s convenient…;) Mom always brings me tons, she loves picking blueberries and this […]

Okay, so most of you know that I LOVE HOME… and all that it entails…. I recently had an interview with Pottery Barn and I wanted to share some important insights with you. Let’s all agree that they are a beautiful company that has a clear mission about what their purpose is..  They want people […]

I soon realized that something just didn’t […]

Hey guys!  I’m going to get really personal on this blog post because its a post that I’m writing to help me develop as a blogger and grow my ideas for what to blog about. I’ve been blogging a good six months now to get a feel for how to blog, what I like to […]

You know that saying April showers bring May flowers… this year it’s been more like rain, rain, and then some more rain!!!  We’ve embraced it though!  Definitely got our fair share of puddle jumping in this year;)  Even though we haven’t seen many pretty flowers yet I have faith that they will come.  I’m grateful […]

April has been busy!!! This was the first year we have two kids in ball and they just happened to have two practices a week each so were not quite sure what to think about this being gone every night thing.  They both are doing great and love every moment though.  Jared is an alumni […]

happy Good Friday! Today I took some time reading the storybook bible with the kids and talked some basics with them about the greatest sacrifice in history.  We made some yummy easter treats and these delicious cross rolls from the pioneer woman of course.  Every year I am more amazed at the story of Jesus […]
