The last leg of our journey…and the reason for the trip to begin with.  Little did Thomas know way back in September that he’d have to follow through on a promise.  After a last minute win against Clemson, in a moment of pure joy, Thomas promised the boys (as they were heading to Toomer’s Corner) […]

    Holly - Girlie, your pics could seriously be published in Sports Illustrated or something! You’re THAT good! For real though! And the super adorable kids in your pics don’t hurt. 🙂 War Eagle!ReplyCancel

It is really so hard to describe how incredible our experience was to see the Grand Canyon.  AMAZING.  I tried to take pictures at different angles so that you could see just how unbelievably massive this thing is.  You can see the ice and snow on the ground, which made me very scared the entire […]

    Holly - Girl! You’re pics are stunning. You are so talented!ReplyCancel

Leaving Las Vegas Saturday morning, we headed toward the Grand Canyon.  Along the way, we made a pit stop at the Hoover Dam, around 45 minutes outside LV.  It’s obvious from the number of pictures I took along the way that the landscape was beautiful. First stop as we headed toward the Dam was the […]

    joy - The pictures of the mountains are beautiful! Makes you want to laugh when people call our little hills around here “mountains”, doesn’t it? The dam freaks me out, I would’ve had all the kids on leashes 🙂ReplyCancel

This was our first time as a family on on airplane all together.  I think the kids were a little nervous but it really went great.  The boys have both flown in smaller planes, for fun, but this was quite different. Thomas waiting at the airport. About to board the plane. This was the view […]

    chesley - so are you loving that lens?!! i don’t like vegas either – i’ve been twice without kids & don’t care if i ever go back, but i do love your pictures :)!ReplyCancel

    admin - Hey Chesley…yes, I loved the lens! I hate it that I don’t actually own it….really wish I did. If you ever rent a lens make sure you get the insurance on it. I dropped in and broke it!!! Just realized that I don’t have you linked at the top…going to do that now. 🙂ReplyCancel

    Kera - Awesome pics! I can’t wait to see the rest of them-especially from the big WIN!
    I spotted Thomas pretending to read while on his BB. So funny!
    Also-I feel the same way about New Orleans-I had to go once for work and decided that I would never go again! I don’t want to be caught there when the Lord comes back!!!!ReplyCancel

  • January 13, 2011 - 9:26 pm

    admin - Kera- Ha! You’re right…didn’t notice Thomas doing that. AND…I know exactly what you mean!!! I would NOT want to be there when the Lord comes. I definitely said a few prayers after we got out of there. 🙂ReplyCancel

    Anna - I love your new blog…and the pics! I’m not dying to go to Vegas, but the pics are still great! Can’t wait to see the rest! 🙂ReplyCancel

We are so incredibly excited because we are leaving TOMORROW for Arizona for the National Championship to see the tigers play.  We plan to stay in Las Vegas first, then visit the Grand Canyon, and finally, off to our final destination…Glendale.  Packing for all five of us is crazy!   I rented my first lens […]

WOW!  Such a beautiful thing to wake up to on Christmas morning.  This is what it looked like outside before we started opening presents. The kiddos ready to dig in to their stockings. The kids didn’t wait too long before they were ready to go out and play in the snow. We took a little […]
