Every summer our family ventures off to what we feel like is heaven on earth. We drive 12 hours north and find ourselves isolated in a cabin, 15 feet from a crystal clear lake.  We don’t like sharing where exactly we go, as its sacred and precious to us… and we like it that way, free from tourists and lake hunters.

A few friends have been inquiring about how Patrick is doing with all things baseball. The answer… incredible.

To bring you up to date, Wink Nolan is in Colorado this summer, playing for the Trinidad Triggers, a professional baseball team in the Pecos League, an independent baseball league out in the mid-west.

 

I spent a week in Deposit, New York, helping my big sister (the oldest of 6 of us)  get ready for her big day. Katie got married to Matt last Saturday, June 15th. Read more and see all the pictures!

This exact week last year, I flew out to New Mexico to stay with Patrick
and his host family in Las Cruces, New Mexico, where Patrick was
playing ball with an independent team there all summer.

In January of 2012, Lindsey had Summit… I got to witness her birth and
am so thankful Lindsey asked me to be there. Summit is 18 months now,
and I can’t even believe it. I wanted to rewind a year and a half ago to
the day we surprised Lindsey for a Baby Shower, which was a few days
before she went into labor. She thought she was having a double date
with Patrick, Cameron, and I… little did she know she was about to be
SHOWERED!

Elaine and Tyler I’ve known since high school and youth group! They got married June 1st, and I had the honor of photographing them! They looked so happy!  

A few weeks ago, I got to be part of Lydia Harrison’s sweet 16! I loved
photographing this, one because I love her and her family, and two, I
wanted them to have some great memories from the night!  Pastor Kelly
and Helen, her parents, threw her a sweet 16 bash! Her family threw her a
sweet 16 bash with tons of friends, dancing, and food!

 

Splashing in the Puddles I love rain! I love playing in it and drinking it! I run through it, play football in it, and listen to it. I read a verse today that  stood out to me in this passage of scripture Proverbs 25:26. It says “Like a muddied spring or polluted well are the […]

Just the other day, I sat in a room at the doctors office waiting to be
seen. From another room a baby was SCREAMING at the top of its lungs. I
am still unsure as to why the baby was screaming, but all I could think
of was its tears. The screaming was giving me such a headache, but then I
thought, “That baby sure will sleep good after crying so much.”

I wanted to make you all aware that something exciting is happening in a few hours, Saturday May 8th! I am launching the baby I have been carrying for 3 years! Radiant Photography is here and it is beautiful! It’s been a dream for a while. Read more about my blogrimage here. I want to […]
