saunders

One of my favorite 3 people in the world....John and I were the best of friends growing up...and then he met the beautiful missy who I have come to know and LOVE everything about. From her amazing graphic design talents to her cute style and producing this cute kid who happens to have the most ADORABLE SMILE EVER!!!! He wouldn't stop smiling!! It was kind of a trade off.... he wouldn't really sit still, but he kept the smiles coming all session long! It was so fun and I thought the colors that they wore with the beautiful sunset fit perfectly. thanks yall!! you're the best!!

LOVE IT! I got to photograph a CUTE KID a few days ago and it was so much FUN! I love walking around new and different places and just enjoying little kiddos. Cole brought his "molly" along with him and there wasn't hardly any pictures without it! He was definitely all boy pointing out big trucks or cars that would pass by, and enjoying all of the leaves on a bench we found!!

miss a

5 months, and gaining! I feel like the past couple of weeks she has just gotten heavier and heavier! which is great for many reasons....especially my muscles on my left arm. Do you ever feel like the time goes by so fast and you can't even remember how tiny they were a month ago? Well, I feel the opposite with avery....like, really? she's ONLY 5 months old! Seems like she should be walking by now! I know that's weird to think, but that just tells me that maybe my life has slowed a bit and I've had time to enjoy her. only 5 months old.....and I hope it will feel this way for a while:)

oh dylan... he's coming out of his baby stage and it's making me so sad! I loved this picture because this is typical dylan. Doesn't like looking at the camera unless I bribe him with candy.... and in 95% of every picture, he has stains all over his shirt. I'm hoping he gets out of this lovely terrible 2, whining, tantrum, picky eating stage soon....but until then, I'm enjoying my little chunky monkey as much as I can while he is still a "baby" to me!

well, we are finally settled in with our fabulus roomates! It's been really fun!! It's like a party every night (after the kids are in bed of course!) We are so grateful to have a roof over our heads right now....especially since it's been raining lately! I took these pictures in front of terin's door-and yes, I'm excited to have new places to take pictures around the house!! I'm sure I'll be posting a lot in the next couple weeks!

update:less than 12 hours

yes, I have been way out of the blogging world.... we are MOVING out of our house TOMORROW! All we have been doing is looking for a new house and packing up our old house. As I am sitting here typing, I look around and there is nothing. My house is almost completely empty...and I'm so sad about it!! But I know this is just how life goes. so I have to live a little, enjoy, relax, stop freaking out and just CHILL!!! I know we will find a place to live...in the meantime, my amazing, wonderful, thoughtful, beautiful, awesome friend has offered to take on my family of 5!! What a trooper!! I am really going to miss this house, but it can only get better... (atleast that's what I keep telling myself) So I will be MIA for a little bit until I get situated. Please feel free to send me advice on life, housing, and most importantly... being patient, and not taking everything out on my kids because we don't have a place to live.
Here are a few pictures of my house, that I will be leaving soon. I've already cried a million times this week and I'm ready to say good bye and get on with it, so I can start wearing mascara again. Here's to a new chapter in our lives...
