I’m *finally* done editing these. We took a big camping trip in the fall to celebrate Jason and Jonah’s birthdays. Thankfully, my mom and Jason’s parents were able to make the trip. Our last camping trip was a total blast so we were really looking forward to going again. We made so many wonderful memories….

We stayed in different cabins during this trip because our usual ones were booked up. It turned out to be a blessing because we had to drive down to the river and it was super easy access for my mom who had just had knee replacement surgery 2 weeks prior. My favorite thing was sitting on […]

Just a few snapshots from our trip to the pumpkin patch in October. We used to haul our crew all the way out to the fancy one over an hour away. And then the year Jonah was born we needed pumpkins last minute. Looking back at our first trip to this patch, the kids have grown and changed so very much. Man, time flies. Was that really 2 years ago?!

I got up later than usual this morning, spotted a beautiful day outside and my messy house inside, and told the children to get dressed in a hurry then report to the kitchen to help fix a picnic lunch. It was in the 60’s, cool, clear, pretty and the weather is supposed to be yuck the rest of the week. I’m tired of being inside, cooped up, cleaning only for another mess to pop up seconds later. Ty needed to get out too, he’s not used to staying home so much. Only a few more weeks until he can shed the sling and drive again post-op. So, we fixed our picnic lunch […]

My family, 2014

Usually, by the middle of December I’m scrambling to organize family photos for my crew. After busy season and spending months taking photos of everyone else’s family, I realize I need some of my own. Plumber with a leaky faucet and all that. This year was different. This year I realized midway through the year that Ty will likely graduate next fall. That fact hit me like a ton of bricks. He could go away to […]

I’ve wanted to take my kids out to the Christmas tree farm and do a session with them for the last 5 years. But the fall is my busiest time of year with work and my own family photos are usually a mere afterthought come the beginning of December. The fall is just so busy for us. And then one day in early September, it hit me like a brick wall….this could be Ty’s last year living at home during […]
