Happy Fathers Day!!

...Father's Day.....just another way for Hallmarks to make money....luckily I love Hallmark!! AND.,...... I LOVE MY DAD. I am very thankful for my dad and all that he is to me. He had a tough daughter so to be such a great dad is a pretty remarkable thing! He is a wonderful Pop too! Madi thinks the world of him. It makes me so happy to see my dad and my daughter playing, or wrestling around, playing there games. It reminds me of when I was little and how he would do the same things with me. God blessed me with amazing parents and I am so thankful for that.

On fathers day I am also thankful for my husband who is a great dad. He loves Madi sooo much and would do anything for her. Today it was just Madi and daddy (of course I had a wedding) so Jason wanted to do something special with her just the two of them. SOoo they went on a daddy-daughter date. They went and got to ride horses for an hour and a half. Madi was elated. She got to ride a white horse with blue eyes! She could barley talk about it she was so excited. They had a blast at Riverside stables. They have alot of offer there..Check them out!!

Then when they got home they went swimming and Madi decided she was brave enough to start swimming with out a life jacket. And she did it!! She was swimming around the pool like a little fish. She was on cloud nine today with her daddy. It was great to see them spending the day and making memories that will last a lifetime!!

So dad and Jason....Happy Fathers Day and I love you!!!

Meet the Mckennas

Meet the McKenna's...a wonderful family. Not only are they are our friends, and Pat is the youth minister at our church but they are also our neighbors. You have seen there son Landon a few times because he was our Mud Pie boy and the little boy in the fishing boat. If you did not see those make sure to check out the older posts for those pictures.

These pictures were taken for a Father's Day gift.






This picture below is a watercolor painting. I am sure it is hard
to see but it looks really cool in our big canvas prints!!


This the regular version of the top picture.

Madi and her lost tooth!!!

Ok....so I FINALLY got Madison in for a QUICK photo shoot last week..it was about 10:30 at night!!! I feel bad but we have been soososo busy that we have not had time. And she really wanted to have some pictures taken in the studio. I knew the tooth missing would change her appearance but I did not realize how much it would. She is growing up soo fast. She is the best little girl in the world. We are so thankful that God blessed us with her and that He allowed us to be her parents. Madi has brought more laughter and love to my life than I could have ever imagined!!!

Gumballs and Smiles!!!!

Ok...so you have to know the story behind the gumballs before you can totally enjoy these pictures. My mom is known for her candy through out her house. EVERYONE loves the various little sugar coated candies...from jelly beans to M&M's to good old fashion Bubble Gum. And Jack (and his dad-Brad) LOVE them maybe more than others so today Jack came over while his mom had an appointment and Madi and I had bought Jack (&Brad) a HUGE container of the gum balls and Jacks face lite up when he saw it and I thought I have to take pictures with Jack and his gum balls and one thing lead to another and then we were making Fathers Day Cards and so on...but Just had to share the smiles that the Old fashion Gumball brought around our house/studio today. Hope the smiles make you all..........well smile!!!
