Football

Football season will be in full swing starting tomorrow! (Go Bucks!) And I have to be honest, if there is any sport that I would choose to watch, it would be football. I absolutely love the sport! My brother, Trevor, has his second game tonight. And, yes, I am the sister that screams every time his name is announced over the loud speaker for making a tackle. My other little brother, Matt, is a ball boy this year, and he absolutely loves it! Good luck Bluestreaks and Go #50!

My Little Brother

My birthday did not make me feel old. Yes, life is going fast, and yes, I do have to say that I am in my mid-20's now. But, what made me feel old was looking through the camera at my little brother and realizing how old he is. When I took his senior pictures, I almost had to take a step back a minute just to gather myself. I see him often, not often enough, but I guess I hadn't truly looked at him in a long time. I still picture him around the age of ten, the little brother that I always protected. Now, he could definitely protect me. Looking through a camera made me take the time to look at him in a different way - the way he is now. He is not my little anymore, but he will always be my little brother. Enjoy - more to come soon!

24th Birthday!

Saturday was my birthday so we celebrated all weekend long!  It was all about me, and it was much needed.  I woke up on Saturday to Trevor bringing me breakfast, birthday card in hand.  The card stated that we were going to go to IKEA!  Now, this may not sound like much to you, but I have been wanting to make the pilgrimage for over a year.  With birthday money in hand, we headed out for our day trip.

We had to stop to eat right before we got there so that we could make it through the entire store.

Here I am in front of IKEA!  I was so excited!  This was before I knew what I was getting myself into.

WARNING:  I do not recommend going to IKEA without having an idea of what you want.  This is not a store to wander in.  I had a great time, but next time I am going with a list!

Then in the evening, I took my leftover money to the mall and got a much needed pair of jeans and a new fall purse!  We went out to dinner, and saw lots of friends. 

Sunday, I went to my family's house for lunch.  Gabe made me this great sign.  I was absolutely spoiled by the boys.  They are the biggest sweethearts.  Each of them got me a piece of jewelry, so of course I had to put all of it on.  By the end, I felt like I was playing Pretty, Pretty Princess again.

I got to see Isaac's rock collection too.

I had a great time with my family.  Then I had supper at Trevor's parents house.  I was fed all day - more like all weekend!  It was a great birthday!  Thank you to all.

Happy Friday

Everyone should smile every single day. There is usually one moment in each day that something just makes me feel purely happy. No feeling other than just happiness. This picture did that for me today, and I hope that it does the same for you. Have a happy Friday!

Sneaky Smile

I couldn't resist giving a quick preview of Jace's recent nine month session! As I have been editing these images, I have not stopped smiling. Jace's personality shines through each photo, whether he is straight faced, yelling, using his fake cough to get sympathy, or giving us this sneaky smile.
