Introducing Miss "S"

She's here! Our long awaited little princess! Miss "S" is our new little niece. She is so sweet! All the kids love holding her and loving on her. And of course, I'm enjoying photographing her! Here are just a few....

Happy 4th of July!

I want to start out by thanking my wonderful husband for serving our country! He is my hero!
Today is a day of rememberance and celebration! Praise God for the freedom we have have! To Him be the glory!
We spent the day with some from friends in our community group from church. We had a great time swimming, playing games, and yes....the big boy toys (aka: fireworks)!!
Here's a few pics of SOME of the kids. I couldn't fit all 20 something of them on here!

What a cutie!

This little one is just so precious! We had such fun at the park shooting her session! Here's a couple of my faves!

Two LONG months....

......of chicken pox! That's how long it takes for 6 kids to get through the chicken pox! But, we are done! So, all the kids have had it and are now doing very well! They were all little troopers! Now we can get back to normal life....whatever that is! So, Summer 2008 will be forever known as "The Summer of the Chicken Pox".

Go D!!!

Miss D is running for student council and needed some pics for her campaign. Isn't she gorgeous!

B is graduating from MSU this weekend! We are so proud of her! Here are a few pics from her session.

Pretzels anyone??

The babies and I went on Tucker's field trip last week. He had so much fun! They got to "make" pretzels. Then, they combined all their dough to see who could make the biggest pretzel (between the 2 classes).

Then, we made our way down to the food court where they got to eat some pretzels. Thankfully, they had made some ahead of time, and we didn't have to eat the ones that they "made", LOL!

And here's one of Tucker and the ladies!

And one of Ryder, not sure what to think of all these field trips he keeps going on!

Baby Ryder!

Here's his newborn pictures! yes, Mommy had him in the studio at just a few days old!

So, I guess I should post some pictures of our newest family member! He was "Number 6" for several hours, but eventually became Ryder! Daddy told everyone that his name was Number 6 because we still had not decided on a name. So, Tucker kept telling his teacher that his new baby brother's name was "Six". We finally convinced him that his name was Ryder a couple of days later, LOL! Ryder had a rough start. Quick and easy delivery, but the dr had a hard time getting him to breathe on his own at first. But, soon he was breathing on his own and so full of life! he was so alert right from the start. He was a "tiny" 7 lbs 9 oz and 2

Ryder at 2 days old, just before we left the hospital.

Ryder's first night home!

My Basketball Player!

Baylee played Upward basketball this year and had so much fun! She even scored some points in the last game! Here's a couple of pics on her last day!

Happy Birthday Tucker!

Ok, so I'm a month or so behind on posting this, LOL! Tucker had a great 5th birthday! He got up and dressed himself in what you see here.....and was very disappointed when I told him he could not wear it to church! At least he gets an "A" for effort. Afterall, he did coordinate his boots nicely with his John Deere shirt. We had a football themed party in honor of Super Bowl Sunday!

Can't forget the "football-yata" as Tucker calls it.

Princess for a day!

This is what happens when you have 2 older sisters who REALLY want another sister!

LOL! He had so much fun twirling!

Being a princess can be soooo exhausting!

A New Year!

Well, it's been soooo long since I've updated this thing! We've been so busy this past year! We have a new addition, Ryder! so, yeah.....probably why I haven't posted in awhile, LOL! I'll update more when I get a chance....our newest little addition is calling for dinner!

Here's the kids at Christmas! L-R: Baylee, Ty, Tucker, Ryder, Chloe, and Gage.
