Cardwell Family Preview

A year ago I asked Niki Cardwell of Stella Dolce Photography to photograph my birth. She came, shot the pictures, and now I have those memories to hold on to forever. It's a year later, but I have to give a huge shout out to Niki for taking those pictures for me. And in turn I was able to shoot her adorable family. Thank you for letting me take your pictures and I hope you enjoy your preview. :)









I couldn't not put this picture on here to share. Children will be children and this little girl is so stinking cute!!







Happy Tuesday!!

Summer Reading

My goal this summer is to post more on what we are doing as a family. Sometimes I wish I had more hours in the day. I know we all feel that way. :) But I really want to share this with you. My son Jackson spending some good reading time. I've signed the boys up at the local library for a reading program this summer. I believe they have to have 10 hours of reading complete by the 16th of July. It's coming up and I am hounding my boys to be responsible and complete all 10 hours on time. So just about every day we have some good reading time. I am so proud of my boys. They might be slightly motivated by the prize they'll get in the end (who knows what it'll be...) but hey, motivation is motivation. :) If our Nashville sun ever comes back out i'll take some back yard pool pics and share them. Oh I love my boys. Happy Summer!

Baby Jackson Preview

I am feeling so very blessed today. Life is going great. The sun came out today, birds were chirping, children were singing in church, daddy's all over were being celebrated. This week is busy for my family. Then we get to go camping with all of my husband's family. My boys are so excited about camping and boating and playing with their cousins. But I digress. The theme of today is fathers. To my dad, my dad-in-law, my husband, my best friend's dad (who I definitely consider one of my dads :), and all the dad's out there, I honor you. Being a parent is one of the hardest and thankless jobs you can commit yourself to. But we thank you nonetheless. You are so appreciated.

This leads me into little baby Jackson's preview. Jackson is the first baby to new parents Anna and Brandon. And what a cutie he is! Jackson (who has the most fabulous name if you ask me!) is such a good baby. He didn't want to sleep, so he just kinda hung out and went a long for the ride. Anna, thanks for letting me take some pictures of your new little man. I hope you and Brandon are having a wonderful first father's day together. Enjoy your preview!











Happy Sunday!
