The kids and I decided to take the last few weeks of our homeschool year on the road. We’re in the home stretch and if we have to do school – why not do it with our toes in the sand. Sixteen days at the beach? Yes, please! We have been staying at my mom’s house in Orange Beach, Alabama. And it was the perfect opportunity to take Taryn’s 10th birthday photos. At the last minute I decided to let the two little boys crash her session and I’m SO glad I did. Ty couldn’t join us because he’s in a cast and he didn’t want to get sand in it. Sand and casts do not mix. I’m kind of […]

It looks so beautiful and serene right? Don’t believe it. I wasn’t feeling well but we hit the beach anyway. For my efforts I was rewarded with a moody 10 year old who glared at everyone, a 7 year old who threw a fit and melted down and a 2 year old who threw sand at everyone 8,000.

ps – this was shot with my Samsung NX300, which I love. I just didn’t feel well enough to take my big girl camera.

The best part of driving through Louisiana was getting to stop and visit with Ty’s older 1/2 sister, Brittany. It’s been over 20 years since I first met her and she’s turned in to such a lovely young woman. I think they look so much alike in this photo. I had to get them to sit down for this – she’s 5’5″ and he’s 6’2″ – he towers over her lol!

Our road trip from Texas to Alabama commenced today. After 9 hours in the car this one was ready to find a place to curl up once we got to the hotel. The kids did good. Jude is still talking about how long it takes to drive through Texas. And we only had to go through less than 1/2 of it!
