This fountain brings back memories of summertime. When we were kids, Janell, Cami and Maryon came to visit during the summer. We often rode our bikes to the high school to play racketball. One day, on the ride home, feeling like we might die of heat stroke at any moment (it must have been about 120 degrees), we couldn't resist the refreshing sound of the fountain. We stepped right into it! With that, a new game was created. It was called something like tag 'em...what was it called? Anyways, the point was to tag the person standing in the fountain with a racketball. If they were hit, they had to kneel down...another hit, they had to sit and eventually go all the way under. Oh, that's it! It was called dunk 'em! Ha ha!

congratulations...
Dave and BJ were named reps of the year for Minka Lavery!!! ...Actually, I guess it is considered rep of the year since BJ works for Dave...but all technicalities aside, that is a huge honor and accomplishment. They worked hard last year and deserve the recongition. I am so proud of them!
(I think I earn bragging rights considering I am holding down the fort while BJ is at Market in Dallas all week) :)

rewarding...
Kennady had two long, tedious assessment tests to complete for school. She was not excited about them. So, we made a deal. She would cheerfully complete her tests. I would bake cookies with her after school. It was well worth it!

no tutu...
The second I put the tutu on Brighton, she was done with it. She immediately started trying to take it off.
Me: "Brighton, look at me."
Brighton: "No tutu!"
Me: "Please, just let me take one picture."
Brighton: "No tutu!"
Me: "Please, Brighton?"
Brighton: "No tutu!"
Me: "Look at Mommy."
Brighton: "No tutu!"
Somehow, in the midst of our conversation, I snapped this picture. Look at that pouty girl...she is so funny to me!

barbies...
A couple of months ago, Brighton started saying "Ba-ha-ha." When we couldn't understand what she wanted, she got more insistent. Finally, we guessed...barbie? She happily exclaimed, "Yea!" She LOVES all barbies and calls these tiny mermadia barbies "baby ha-ha." She is a funny baby!

possibilities...
For the holidays, Toby came home from NAU where he is studing vocal performance...specifically, opera. The rich quality of his voice causes you to stop and absorb the beauty of true talent.

endless love...
A wedding day is both enchanting and nostalgic. I think back to my wedding day and though I don't remember many details that so consumed me at the time, like how many yards of fabric needed for my dress or the number of guests to plan for, I do remember the feeling. The knowledge that eternity was starting in the moment that I held BJ's hand across the alter. Now, we have been married for more than eight years and our relationship has grown stronger as we support and sacrifice for each other. I am thankful for the opportunity I had to photograph this beautiful bride and think back on the wonder of my special day.
Thank you, Tiffany, for letting me share this time with you!

budding photographer...
Kennady is the cutest little assistant ever...so mature and resposible for a 5 year old! Sometimes she amazes me.
I have a new way to bribe Kennady...I simply offer to let her take a picture. Today, while taking pictures, she said to me, "I have a great idea. You take two pictures, then I'll take two pictures." Amazingly, it works!

sweet ballerina...
How can you resist that sweet smile? Over the past year, Addy has outgrown a lot of her mischeviousness and is becoming more sensitive and sweet.

industrial ballerina...
This picture captures the essence of ADDY. She is foofy and loves dancing, playing with barbies, etc. But, at the same time, she is dynamic and unrestrained.
a few more of Addy from our outing on New Year's Eve...
