CURRENTLY WANDERING

Hi!  We are a God loving family: Jason, Lyndsay, Ty, Taryn, Jude, Jonah and Zachary. In 2017 we sold our 2,400 square home in Leander, Texas, along with most of our belongings and bought a 400 square foot fifth wheel RV to hit the road and travel full time with 4 of our 5 kids and 2 dogs (Maggie and Pepper). We longed for a more simple life with less stuff and more adventure.  Our goal is to eventually visit all 50 states!  Our bucket list is long and we love adventure, hiking and national parks!  Lyndsay is a professional family travel photographer and loves capturing all their family adventures.  We hope you’ll follow along on our journey!

WHERE TO NEXT?

We left Texas late 2017 and went to Arkansas, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida. In 2018 we hit the southwest, west coast and pacific northwest before looping back down to Texas for the fall and winter. In 2019 we meandered up the east coast, jumping up to Michigan and across to Maine before heading back to Texas for winter.  2020 landed us quarantining in Alabama before heading out Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington.  Winter in 2020 took us to Texas, Alabama and Florida, including the Keys.  2021 we hopped around the east coast.  2022 was spent in Utah, Oregon, and Washington before we did the “wiggle down the middle” through the midwest.  We visited our 48th state in early 2023!  We spent 2023 on the East coast including Pennsylvania, Maine, Massachusetts and North Carolina.  2024 brought us back to the west, Taryn graduated high school in Moab, was an extra on The Chosen TV series and we spent our summer in Colorado where she was an intern learning how to farm.  In 2025 we are headed to Washington state to serve the church.

please with some cheese

I dug out Ty’s old point and shoot this morning because I have been wanting to catch this. She started doing this a few weeks ago, she totally cracks me up. I had to bribe her with a bottle of lotion to get it though, she loves putting lotion on in the morning. I brought her in for a well visit yesterday and found out that she’s as tall as an average 2 year old. I knew she was tall like her daddy but jeesh! Both her physical skills and language skills are at a 2 1/2 year old level, uhm, wow! She’s saying lots of 3 and 4 word phrases and has a big vocabulary, which probably comes from […]

dialated eyes, the FBI and a mini skirt

How is that for a title to grab your attention ey? Dialated eyes? Ty had an appointment with the eye doctor yesterday, seems his Rx changes every few months. They had a hard time getting good results so they had to dialate his eyes. I let him come home yesterday rather than dropping him off at school right away as his eyes were still pretty sensitive. He ended up being at home all day since they didn’t go back to normal as expected. As of this morning, they were still dialated but he seemed to be doing ok so off he went to school. A few hours later they were bothering him again so the school called me to go […]

lovin luci

love her name love the red hair love the big blue eyes with golden speckles love the chubby cheeks and double chin and I especially love the way her parents adore her….

I’m here!

I’m here, just checking in to say hi…..still no computer and no word on it yet. I’m anxiously awaiting an estimate any time now and at $100 per hour to repair it we’re hoping for the best. I hope it’s soon, I feel like my lifeline has been cut off! Jason and I are so horrible at sharing a computer. I know he needs it a ton right now too because of grad school. Thought I would share a few photos, I had several amazing sessions last weekend, I was lucky enough to photograph 2 families and 4 little ones. Here is little Luci, her parents totally adore her and who could blame them?! She’s perfect. I had the best […]

I’m off…

My laptop has been acting up a lot lately, so much that it’s time to break down and get it fixed. It only holds enough power to proof two photos at a time and then dies, wait 30 minutes, proof two images, dead again. Plugging it into the wall doesn’t work anymore and I’m tired of yelling at it. So I will likely be offline while it gets some much needed love from a computer nerd in New Orleans. We have Jason’s computer, but I won’t be able to use photoshop or see any emails sent to me through today. If I owe you an email, please be patient, I’ll get to them once I am able to reload my […]

a new discovery

Taryn discovered her shadow yesterday. She was playing in the den on the new dark blue rug my mom gave us when I noticed her moving her hands around and watching her shadow follow. I love watching her learn something new, you can see a look of amazement in her eyes, it happens several times a day it seems. I love it even more when I catch it with my camera.

my naked chef…

Well….sorta. Could those little chubby thighs be any cuter?? I took this a few weeks ago and just got around to proofing it tonight. My mom found the little chef’s outfit and Taryn got the kitchen for Christmas. She loves it, plays with it every single day. She cooks and stirs and cuts pretend veggies and washes dishes, complete with her own sound effects, lol.

6 Weird Things

about me. I got tagged by Julie! Ok, so here goes…. 1. I love first aid kits. I would buy one every single day if I could. I have several for the house, the car, my purse, diaperbag. Before the storm I even had one for a boat. I don’t own a boat. 2. I eat peanut butter and pickle sandwiches. My best friends Mom when I was little used to make them for us and I still eat them to this day. I am secretly thrilled I got Taryn hooked on them (Ty would never go for it). Heather do your kids eat them??? 3. I have a brother named Brian whose girlfriends name is Kim. I have a […]

More Bradley

Isn’t he just the sweetest!?!? Gotta love the drool 🙂

The 5 minute photo shoot…

I get asked a lot if my kids are easy to photograph and how I get them to cooperate. My answer is always NO and I DON’T! LOL I just get lucky sometimes and catch them between moments 🙂 Lately I have had a tendancy to only post one or two pics per post and it’s usually just my favorite. But I figured since I haven’t posted much this week, I would post every shot from my 5 minute photo shoot with Ty right before I left for the gym today. Plus these will prove my kids are not easy or cooperative!! He was NOT cooperative to say the least, I had to bribe, fuss and basically force him to […]

The Wrestling Match

Sorry for the lack of photo posts lately. I haven’t had my camera out much. Things have been crazy busy at our house. In addition to Jason spending lots of time on homework, getting letters and new pricing brochures out to all my clients, having plenty of sessions to proof, all this LRA stuff (we got our paperwork! yay!), Ty being busy with school and I’m getting used to a new workout schedule and a different Mommy & Me class. Taryn has just been a complete handfull. I swear I looked at her yesterday and realized that she’s not a baby anymore. She’s talking SO much, she’s a little parrot. It’s at least 2-3 new words per day now and […]

To My Clients:

2006 was busy and a wonderful success, thank you for being a part of it! It has been a wonderful experience to meet each and every one of you. As we head into 2007 it is time to make a few changes that I want you to be aware of. You will soon be receiving a letter outlining in detail the changes forthcoming for 2007, please read through the letter carefully as it affects your archived images. Here are the highlights… Session Availability: As many in our area are, my family is still dealing with the effects of Hurricane Katrina. We are in the last stages of rebuilding our home but it is still quite time consuming. For this reason, […]
