[Summer Days]

I took my kids out a couple nights ago to meet Jamie & Laykin for a quick tire session!
If you are interested Jamie is still available a few more sessions... but get ahold of her fast!

I have a TON of favorites! I can't help it... my kids are so cute to me!!!



Sweet sisters..




Cortland HAD to sit on either the Pink or Purple tire... HAD TO!



Madeline...




Kenzie-Lynn...



My kids + Laykin.





Making a train...










Had to do the jumping pics...







LOVE THIS!



She was ON A ROLL!











Pretty, pretty...





Tickling each other...

[It speaks to me...]

So, Jamie and I instant message EVERYDAY- we share photos back and forth
and help each other when we get in a creative rut or need some editing tips!

Last night we got our kids together and had a mini photo session (more to come from the session).
I showed her this image this afternoon and she said "It speaks to me!"
I LOVE THAT! I love when a photo inspires such a feeling.



It speaks to me as well.
I love the road behind Kenzie-Lynn and her facing forward...
so much life for her to live and so many things to experience.
My sweet baby girl...

It made me think of the song MY WISH by Rascal Flatts.
It is exactly what I wish for all my children.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow,
And each road leads you where you want to go,
And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose,
I hope you choose the one that means the most to you.
And if one door opens to another door closed,
I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window,
If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything,
My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to,
Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small,
You never need to carry more than you can hold,
And while you're out there getting where you're getting to,
I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too,
Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget,
All the ones who love you, in the place you left,
I hope you always forgive, and you never regret,
And you help somebody every chance you get,
Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake,
And you always give more than you take.

[More NKOTB...]

Future rock star...

[Time of my life!!!]

Two concerts in 3 months??? What is happening to me!?

Back in May I traveled to Little Rock and had a one-day little reunion with Nikki
(my BF from high school) and we attended a HEART concert together.
Now I am not the biggest concert-goer and I honestly only knew a couple HEART songs...
but after seeing them perform I am a huge fan now... THEY WERE A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
I listen to them now everytime I get ready and sing as I'm doing my make-up and hair:
"Till now I always got by on my own. I never really cared until I met you.
And now it chills me to the bone. How do I get you alone!!!"
Can't beat it! LOL!



Yes, they performed IN THE RAIN! A sweet man next to us let us use his umbrella!





...and then this past weekend I spent the weekend in Dallas with Laine and had the TIME OF MY LIFE at the concert we attended...

This concert was h-i-l-a-r-i-o-u-s
(I laughed the ENTIRE time... huge smile on my face seriously... THE ENTIRE TIME!)
and SO SO SO much fun!!!

Brought back all kinds of middle school memories...
... any guesses of who I saw???
NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK!!!
Yes, you read that right! LOL!

More pics to come soon!







UPDATED 7-23: THE REST OF THE PICS!!!







At one point they all five popped up in the middle of the crowd. Joey was singing right to us! LOL!









These are the faces of girls SO EXCITED to see their teen idols!
Taylor:


Lauren: (Loved meeting this girl btw!!!)


Laine:


And me: (not quite as expressive as everyone else!)


And these next two pictures are images of what my face looked like basically the ENTIRE time. I was CRACKING up and could not quit laughing! It was truly hilarious!!!
