I'll Admit it!

I am a fan of Duck Dynasty...and so is my family! We even introduced my parents to the show this past summer.  I have to admit, I really didn't want to like the show, but I am a fan now!  And I miss DD while they are on break.

Admit it, you watch it too, right?!  Si is my favorite.  Who is your favorite?  I heard that Si almost wasn't in the show. I cannot imagine him not being in the show.  Can you? Maybe I need to read the Duck Commander book.

Our Rachel had the blessing of ministering in Florida at Beach Reach over Spring Break.  Most of my days on spring break, I sleep in and simply enjoy my break. This year, we stayed up till the wee hours of the morning praying as our daughter and thousands others ministered to the college crowd during Spring Break.

Rachel would text us the first names of people she was able to visit with and asked us to pray.  We weren't with her physically, but we were in spirit!  What an incredible week she had. What a blessing to serve!

It wasn't all work though.  Look where she got to visit on her way back to Texas:

Rachel texted us this image from the long van trip home. She was so excited! Fun times!

Horned Toad

As Hannah and were on our way to a quick indoor photo session, I spotted this little guy on our driveway:

It's not every day we get to see a Horned Toad.  Have you ever seen one before?  This was the second one I have seen in the past week.  They are so cool!

They remind me of little dinosaurs.  God is so creative! Just look at all of the details!

A cold front was headed our way, dropping our temperatures about 40 degrees, and this guy was looking for warmth and shelter.  On second glance, he isn't so little, is he?

He has a new home in my front flower beds.  I hope he was able to stay warm as our temperatures dipped into the upper 30's.  We went from 100 to a high of 48.  Wow!  

Happy Mother's Day

So many memories flood my mind this morning! I am blessed with the most incredible mom! Not only do I treasure her as my mom, but as my friend, my favorite Pastor's wife, the one I love to share coffee with when we are in St. John,  our Prayer Warrior, the best Granny any granddaughter would be so blessed to have, and so much more.  

I am thankful for the legacy of faith that we share and the wonderful bond of love and friendship.  

and I am so thankful for these two in the middle who made me a mom too.  What a precious gift my family is!

I have posted this image before....I can't believe it is 4 years old...wow the time flies!  Happy Mother's Day, Mom.  I love you so much!


Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms I have been so blessed to photograph!  You are dearly loved!

The "A" Family {A Sneak Peek}

I was so thrilled to meed this family in person.  Their beautiful mommy and I have been emailing and messaging back and forth trying to find the perfect Family Portrait date.  We couldn't have asked the good Lord for a more beautiful day!  Oh, God is so good!

Happy Mother's Day!  Such a sweet image:

I love seeing personalities shining through here.  We had just found a Horned Toad and their little ones could hardly stand not holding it in every image.  Ha! My Mr. Incredible managed to hold the Horned Toad behind my camera.  Can you tell?  :-)

Precious moment with their daddy:

I smile every time I see this image.  His sweet little hand on his sister for support, his tongue sticking out. He was ready to take his boots off.  Big sister expressions~priceless!

Beautiful big sister posing like my Senior Girls:

And I would chase this little guy around all day to capture his sweet smile:

I have so many more images ready in their gallery....and I can hardly wait to share them with this family!

Sweet Baby Evan {A 3 Month Sneak Peek}

This precious 3 month old and his big brother and gorgeous mommy came to see me.  I cannot believe how much he has grown in three months.   He is cooing and smiling and busy, busy. Delight!

I could have titled this post, "The Many Faces of Evan."  

He has the best expressions!

See what I mean?

And this one makes me giggle every time! What a happy little guy! So much cuteness wrapped up in such a tiny package.

Love is spelled E-V-A-N.  Sweet, happy feet:

Bountiful Basket

My Sister-in-law enlightened me to the world of Bountiful Baskets.  And I am hooked.  I have been too busy to make the 25 minute trek on Friday evening or Saturday morning to pick up my basket, but this week I made time to place an order. They have rhubarb.  Rhubarb! Oh, that brings back wonderful memories of my mom's Rhubarb dish.  Yum!  

Summer baskets are some of my favorites.  Hands down, I adore their granola!

Add in some fresh blueberries and I am one happy girl!

Here is more information, if you are interested:  http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/

***Update: I totally missed it!  I was too late, all of the baskets were spoken from before noon today.  I guess other BB fans were excited about Rhubarb too.  I'll be quicker next time, I hope!

Landon {Class of 2013 Sneak Peek}

It's the busy Senior Season. I am thrilled that his mom and I were able to find the perfect date. He is a man of few words but was a joy to get to know.  Landon will attend Texas A&M in the fall. Enough with the chit chat and on with the images:
