DJ and Madi started track and had their first meet last week. Burrrrrr it was a long, cold 3 hours! Look at this little man's face! Pure joy. He smiled the whole way down the track for the 50m dash too!


Here's Madi and Bailey enjoying a poolside devotional time... I loved it that they took a break from swimming and could sit and read for half and hour out of Madi's Devotional Bible for 'Little Princesses'. Madi was so excited to share that with Bailey. I hope she keeps that excitement about sharing the Word!


Ok... I love my dog, Sadie You probably can tell I'm an animal freak. Isn't this cute. I got a series of her sleeping on her back (which is normal position for her) but she covered her eyes for a bit and I snapped this...

As promised

Morgan was entranced watching the new baby doll that she waited so long for (her sister). She would stand at Madi's basinette what seemed like an eternity (for a 19mo. old) just watching her. Every once in a while she would squeal with delight if Madi moved or sneezed.

Morgan at 8 months (I think). Ah, those sweet cheeks!



That face...



I love how she's looking at him in this one.






1st birthday cake... some of you remember this event! What a show!









I'm already wondering where the time has gone with this one... and the years are going to fly by. I must take these times in. I must remember to appreciate this and every stage of theirs. I must remember to keep praying for my children. They are so precious Lord, thank you... Help me be the Mommy you want me to be!

Some fun with sepia

Posted by Crystal

I've always wanted to recreate our wedding album in a scrapbook format. I even tried when I was just beginning scrapping and truthfully, you can tell I was just beginning. Ok, it's down right awful. Well someone gave me this vintage style scrapbook kit as a gift a few years back and I'm finally getting around to selecting pictures for it. I thought black and white or sepia tone would look nice. The pictures arrived today from Costco so hopefully it won't take another few years to get them scrapped!
Here's some of our wedding ones. I have my favorite baby/kid pictures I did in this tone as well. I'll probably post those soon! This is the "castle church" as I always called it growing up. It sits right on a beautiful lake in the center of my hometown. Could I get married anywhere else?
No, cause that train wouldn't fit anywhere else!I'm loving the fuzzy focus effect lately!
Some day poofy shoulders and lots of beadwork may come back in style! You think? What a looker!
I realized we have way too many pictures of us kissing or almost kissing. Here's where it all started, Shannon.

I can't help but smile and feel even more in love with this man now than on our wedding day. It hasn't all been roses for us but we're getting through this life together and that's what matters.

Will post more soon...
