Can we say "YUMMMM!"

So I have to tell everyone that I LOVE breakfast! It's like an addiction, and I can't go a day without it. I've recently become a "Clean Eater" and am looking at ways to experiment with breakfast foods. Well yesterday I decided to experiment! I was so excited and I had no one to share it with, besides Maddox and he can't talk to me. It turned out so good that I just had to share....

Can you say "Yummm...Baked Blueberry/Banana Oatmeal"

Happy Wednesday!

Josh & Talitha :: Wedding

So sorry it has taken me another week to get another post. I felt like a REAL mom last week when Maddox somehow became really ill. I was a bit scared as I googled some of his symptoms, as some sites said "Deadly". I felt so bad for him, but he seems to be recovering very well! Anyways...

Josh & Talitha are just adorable. Both are such great people and have such beautiful hearts, it's hard not to fall in love with them. It was truly a beautiful ceremony and one that I will remember, considering the minute I got out of the car I dropped my most expensive lens out of my bag and broke it- YIKES! No, but seriously, they made the day memorable by the love for God being the most important thing and the photos just speak their love. Congrads you guys! Best wishes to you guys and your future!

Here's a slideshow and some of my favs... the slideshow has a song I've used before, but fitting as Josh is the drummer.



Josh was very handsome...

Mr. William :: 2 weeks olds

Baby William was such a doll! Even though he didn't want to cooperate with the camera. He USUALLY sleeps, but all he wanted to do was stay awake. A REALLY funny thing happened during our shoot too... he just went to the bathroom and we went to take the diaper off, and dad was holding him... well he wanted to go AGAIN! Not just pee, but wanted to poop on him and all over the floor. Opppsss... guess he's too young to know any better considering he can't even hold his head up! Ha! Well he's got some great parents and I was so glad to have met their amazing family!

Congrads to you guys!

Here are some of my favorites from our session...

Ariana :: 6 yrs old

Ariana was such a cute little girl. She had such rosey cheeks, yet was a bit shy in front of the camera. Her and her family lives down in Georgia, but was visiting her grandma for the holidays! They never see snow, so the little that we had at the time was great for her. No more snow though... let's get to the spring! Ha!

Holiday Hangover!

Christmas is over... Boo! But I'm still recovering...

We made it safely to Indiana on Tuesday morning through the blizzard and ice storm we came across. We couldn't believe how terrible the weather was, but it was good we left earlier than expect or we would've hit the worst of it. But we made it and had a great time. We spent lots of time together with the family and got our filling of Lil' B, although I wish it was longer. But thank goodness for the invention of Skype. If you are not familiar with it... check it out! (Just google it) Then we turned around Thursday afternoon to come back up north to get both families in. We fit all families in and even had our own time together for our Christmas. It was a good year and I know we are looking forward to next year already! I LOVE Christmas music!

Here are some photos from our point and shoot camera, but they aren't very good. The last three photos are from my nice camera. I think Santa forgot to bring a new point and shoot camera for us... but that's ok! He did leave money so we'll have to use that towards one.

I hope everyone else had a great family time and Santa brought things you wanted as well!

Enjoying our own lil' family Christmas...
