Family Pictures-Summer 2021

 Becca Lund came up and did our pictures again nd they turned out so cute. It did get pretty chilly toward the end of our session but everyone was really good and it made for some great pictures of our sweet family.

Liam 2 yrs 6 months

I love this picture and feel like this on a regular basis. Sometime Matt and I look at each other and its like no one else exists and the world keeps going.






This little guy is my buddy and partner in crime. He loves to do everything with me and is my shadow. I love that he loves to be with me especially since he is my last baby and is growing so fast.












Emery 6yrs
Gracie 9 yrs 5 months
Hallie 11 yrs 8 months




Family pictures are always a ton of work and a gamble on whether everyone will behave. But at the end of the day Im always thrilled with how the pictures turn out and its all worth it.

Spring Soccer Comes To A Close

Emy was excited to play soccer again. Emy was so excited and got to play with some of her friends from school. Towards the end of the season it really clicked for her and it has been so fun to watch her.

The kids all love when grandma and grandpa get to come watch


Afterward the girls wanted to go see Preslee's kittens. Since we moved in the girls have been asking about getting new cats and once we went to see them we were all hooked. Now to wait until they get a little older.

Last Days Of School-Parties/Kindergarten & 6th Grade Graduation

With Matt waiting for his new job to start and me being back to work full time it made the end of the school year even busier than it normally would have been. Matt was so great to make sure to take pictures of all of the days I missed. Here is Hallie on her last day of 6th grade and elementary school. Im a little nervous about what that will bring since its uncharted territory for us. How did she get so big. 

Emy's last day of Kindergarten

Gracie's last day of 3rd day

Hallie's 6th grade graduation






Meanwhile Liam enjoyed playing with trucks on the floor
After Hallie's graduation we ran across the hall to Emy's kindergarten graduation. Then they let some of the kids to play with the baby chicks.



Here's our party of 6 celebrating all the graduating

It was fun to have my mom here to be party of the celebrating as well


Emy was given the lifesaver award for reaching out to those who needed someone. She is such a sweet girl

Gracie with a few of her friends during the last activities of the school year.
Gracie has had Mrs. Handsaker this year and she has been so wonderful for her. I am always nervous about one of the kids having a new teacher we aren't familiar with but Mrs. Hansaker was just what our Gracie needed. She empowered her and help grow her confidence in and out of the classroom. How do you thank someone for doing that?
