I feel so privileged to get to take pictures of all my nieces and nephews. Seriously…I LOVE IT!! Our first place for snapping photos was downtown at this little church but that was shot down when I saw a wedding party there getting pictures done. Oh well, plan 2-Big Spring Park. There were definitely tons […]

    THE MORROW FAMILY - These look good, Brooke…especially considering we had to come up w/ a back up plan and had lots of distractions. ๐Ÿ™‚ It's amazing how a little editing helps so much! I like the ones of Abbie and Bailey on the bridge and the 2 of all of them on the bench. I might could get an 8 x 10 of one of the three of them and an individual of the girls for their room. I hate we didn't get one of Noah, but he wasn't too cooperative. Thanks so much! I'll let you know if we feel like we need another session. You are doing so good with your camera…I mean it!ReplyCancel

    one BleSSed gal! - Those are so good! Much better than you & Anna let on =) They are such adorable kiddos…I know you enjoyed photographing them!ReplyCancel

    Jenna - I love the pictures! You did so good!ReplyCancel

It’s been fun but, selfishly, I’m sure glad it’s over. I’m just ready for some normal times around this house. This fall has been extremely busy for us so it’s time for a break. The Braves finished off this season with some wins and losses but ultimately my kiddos had a great time and it […]

    Sunny - Love it!!! I so wish that our boys could play ball together. Joshua is still on cloud nine from having dinner with Carter and Camden the other night. Abby Kate is also still beaming when talking about Caley. You have some precious children.ReplyCancel

The kids were so excited about running in the Huntsville Hospital Autumn Chase 1 Mile Run. They each ran with their own age group and I think there were about 100 kids racing in each group. Carter got to run first and he was so excited!! And they’re off! He was hilarious…every time he saw […]

    one BleSSed gal! - How did we never run into y'all again?

    Way to go Carter! He looks so proud =)

    Poor Camden…Cole did that one year & I remember it was after a bunch of smack-talk too =) Of course, you saw that he wore his crocs to ensure that he didn't have to run this year!

    As for the pig, I thought he was there just to remind us (meaning people like myself) what we're going to look like if we don't get out there & run =)ReplyCancel

Carter’s birthday lingered for a few days….first the school party, then Motor Cross at the arena, bowling, Big Ed’s pizza, then cake back at home before the Auburn game. I think he had a great birthday!! Here are my little Tigers Fans on Saturday before the party. Granny, Pop, and Aunt Cynthia came up for […]

    Sunny - Happy Birthday Carter!!! It looks like you all had such a great time celebrating with family! All of your children are adorable! And your mom looks so pretty! Of course, I love all of your pictures! ๐Ÿ™‚

    I've never had Big Ed's pizza. I guess that we will have to try it out sometime soon.ReplyCancel

    mandy - What a fun birthday(s)! Ours tend to drag out over a few days too…that makes it even more fun!! Your mom looks so beautiful! I wish our families were closer so we could have those fun-cousin times! Let's get together soon!ReplyCancel

    THE MORROW FAMILY - Love the pictures! We had such a fun time getting to see ya'll and everybody else and celebrate Carter's birthday. Bowling and pizza was a fun idea! ๐Ÿ™‚ It's fun that the kids all have such a good time together. Ben and I were saying that it seems like they are all having such a good time lately and it doesn't seem quite as chaotic as it used to now that they are all getting older. Fun times. ๐Ÿ™‚ReplyCancel

    McKinney Madness - I'm so sad I couldn't be there. It's good to hear that ya'll had such a good time and that Carter had a blast! And you're right- Aunt Vicki looks awesome and we are all so proud of her!!ReplyCancel

My middle bug, Carter, turned the big 6 years old yesterday!! I brought a little cookie cake to his class for a small celebration but the real celebration is tomorrow. He wanted an orange and blue cake…of course, for the best team….AUBURN! War Eagle! Joshua, Carter’s cousin, has a bigger bike so that’s what Carter […]

    jenna - I sure love seeing your blog! I need you to help me do some things to mine sometime!! And by the way- the bike lineup is perfect. They definitely look well trained in the art of sibling photography. Me and my sisters were the same way. ๐Ÿ™‚ReplyCancel

Caley decided that she wanted to play a little soccer this year which surprised me a little because all I’ve ever heard her talk about is cheerleading, ballet, or gymnastics. I was excited that she wanted to give soccer a try and she’s had fun. She runs around with her prissy little shake and follows […]

    The HoneaBees - So cute!
    And I also love your pics with the new lens! I forgot to comment when I saw them. You're getting better and better! Did you see the post from Marla with her tips?ReplyCancel

  • September 16, 2009 - 7:12 pm

    brooke - Kera…Oh yes….I saw the post with Marla's answers. Too bad I can't pick her brain one-on-one. Thank you for the compliment about my pics. I can acutally only use the maunal lens when the subejct is still. It's way too diffficult too focus as someone is moving. I wish that my camera had autofocus for the 50mm. Pooey…oh well.ReplyCancel

Not sure that I’m ready to share all of this, and honestly, my thoughts aren’t collected, but here goes…This has been an incredibly tough week for so many people I know and love. On Tuesday afternoon we lost an incredible Christian man from this life – Tim Nash. Tim was a lot of things to […]

    The Bowerman Blog - What a beautiful tribute to Tim and his family. I don't think anyone else could have worded it any better. He was definitely a man after God's own heart. Someone who will truly be missed, but one that will be remembered by everyone in years to come.ReplyCancel

    Jessa Mullen - I asked Brooke the other day what was going on and she sent me a message on facebook. Please know that I am thinking about ya'll and your dear friends family.ReplyCancel

  • September 14, 2009 - 8:03 pm

    Amy - beautifully said, thomas. i didn't know him, but i teared up just reading your words. it's always sad when someone we love leaves this life, but knowing exactly where he is should bring you peace and comfort. if he is as you say, he wouldn't want to be anywhere else. love y'all and am thankful for you everyday.ReplyCancel

  • September 14, 2009 - 9:45 pm

    The HoneaBees - Thomas, I am praying for your family as well because I know Tim was a great friend to you. I do not know you as well as I knew Tim, but I have always thought of you and Tim as being similar in your servant ways and have looked up to the both of you. I know you will help to keep his legacy alive.ReplyCancel

  • September 14, 2009 - 10:24 pm

    McKinney Madness - Wow, I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of such an amazing Christian man. It's hard to understand death, but I always tell my kids that God must have wanted him more up there than we did down here. My thoughts and prayers are with you guys and this family as they work through their grief. I love you guys.ReplyCancel

  • September 15, 2009 - 1:49 pm

    joy - Thomas, I can't think of a story from Baja that Ryan has told that doesn't include you & Tim…well except maybe for trying not to get arrested =) I appreciate you sharing your thoughts & also those that you shared in class Sunday. I have known Tim since high school & I have to say he was the same even back then. He was always dependable, always one to do what needed to be done, could always make you laugh & never had anything bad to say about anyone. We are all blessed to have known him & to have called him a friend!

    Praying for you…I know as an only child that friends often become brothers/sisters to us.ReplyCancel

We (Paige and I) decided to try and take more pictures of Macy because the first ones didn’t turn out quite the way we wanted. Here are a few pics from round 2. She is just so cutie patootie.
