Never gets old

There is just something so sweet, so special, so comforting about snuggling with your babies! Somehow it just puts everything in its place & at ease!

Salt Life

I never use to really like the beach...I know, I know, crazy right!?!? Who doesn't like the beach?? I don't know, there was just something about it that just didn't attract me. I repulsed the feeling of sand on me! I didn't enjoy the water, or more or less was scared of the water(watched Jaws too many times w/ my brothers). However, since becoming a mom it has totally redirected my feeling towards the beach. I might not be the biggest fan of having sand all up on me, covering me head to toe, but I am a fan of seeing His master pieces & getting a glimpse of just how big of a God He really is! As I sit by the ocean & listen to the waves crash, the salty, sweet, amazing, peculiar smell that the beach has, how can you not be in complete Awe over His mighty works? So now I can say I truly love the beach! I enjoy digging in the sand with my babies, I enjoy splashing in the water(that comes up only to my ankles hehe). I really find the beach simply relaxing. Yes, relaxing even with 5 kids! I love to watch my kids experience life. To see them get so excited & thrilled about things is just special to me! Its almost like I am experiencing it for the first time! It makes you appreciate things! Well here are a few shots I took from our trip to Hilton Head. Enjoy :)

A Sunflower Tradition

    So its Sunday night, almost midnight, my husband is away on a youth retreat & its just me & my 5 sweet babies at home. Of course are they in their room sleeping? Nope, they are all piled in my room on the floor sleeping away:) 
    Tonight is one of those nights where I could find myself writing & writing...about what? O goodness how my mind is FULL of things to talk about tonight! But, instead I have decided to share images of my family! I'm Still not sure who all will ever read this, but somehow it doesn't matter! Sitting in my bed, typing away sharing who knows what is still fun & refreshing. 
    So since I was pregnant with Juliana (almost 11years ago) I have been going to this Sunflower field & taking pictures there. It turned into being a yearly tradition. I now have pictures of my kids every single year there for the last 10 years! So since that time of year just passed, I think I'll start there. Now I will warn you, I REALLY enjoy photography & whats better then photographing MY own kids! SO...there might be a lot of photos :)
