out of town…

Sunday, July 11, 2010 at 1:33pm

we booked a trip to the river, so we are loading up and off to enjoy our four…now two day vacation!

then on to some ball…

my oldest son played on the all star baseball team and they WON IT ALL!!

so our trip is being cut in half to go to the sectionals for their devision!!

SO… all e-mails, text, and phone calls will be returned once we get home!

all orders will be delivered the week we get home…

LET’S PLAY BALL!!!!

oh and if you are some kind of creep and want to think about visiting my home while we are gone…

make sure you tell my man eating dog hello for us! :)

and… we have neighbors on the watch along with a very loud ALARM system!

….just so you know!

it was miserably HOT and the mosquitoes almost took little kinsey and carried her off, so our session was cut a little short…

but…we got great pictures in the short time we were out! seriously? have you ever seen such tiny toes painted so perfectly?

this little girl is ADORED by her parents! momma loves her to death, but daddy…well that is an entirely different story!

it is soooo sweet to watch how justin plays with her and loves on her! she has him right where she is going to want him

especially when she is a teenager! WATCH OUT! :)  i love love love this sweet family!

Angela - I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE the first picture and think it would make a super fabulous gallery wrapped canvas. Stunning.

Megan - What a little sweetie! I love the picture of her little feet! So cute! I love how perfectly painted they are! Great job! They are absolutely darling!

Elena - OKAY... so I thought the newborn session was my favorite, but this session turned out great. I am thrilled with the results and love that you love us as much as we love you! Your brilliance never ceases to amaze me. Mosquitoes and all, this session speaks for itself. Thanks Spanki...for giving us great memories to cherish:)

i love this family!  i have watched the “little” ones grow from little kiddos into teens and pre-teens! and mrs tinsley

has watched my kiddos grow, and helped grow them. from their blankies to their babies, she was with them every sunday morning!

and has wiped a few tears along the way! and stephanie and david, well we have looked up to them as an inspiring couple for years!

not to mention david did challenge my volleyball skills (yes i said SKILLS… i rock some volleyball ;) ) so this family holds a sweet

place in my heart and i was so proud to have the opportunity to capture them as a family, as they really are, sweet and pure

even to one another…when no one is looking! how did they get their kids to do that? i must take notes!

such a sweet family. it is so funny, i know to so many, my kids are still so young, with my oldest being the ripe “ol

age of 10! but when i see families like this one, i see me in just a few short years! one going off to college and

one not far behind! it will be here here before i know it! chase had just graduated from st thomas and is on his way to the

air force academy for basketball….i know you are shocked that such a short guy could play ball!! haha his sister madison is going to be

a senior next year so we just took a few of everyone! it was crazy HOT but other than editing out tons of sweat… i think they look

cool! :) man i am full of jokes today! might be the lack of sleep summer has brought me !

we all remember shelby, it wasn’t long ago that i did her senior pictures, well, now i had the opportunity to

take family pictures. this family is so sweet and fun! it is kinda sad, the girls are getting ready to go

in different directions in life, they are such close sisters, i know it is an exciting and emotional

time for each of them, and dad… don’t get me started, i will be in tears by the end of this post….

i don’t ever want my kids to move away! no matter the location, you will always be able to see

the love this family has for each other!
