Remember THIS photo shoot? We got to photograph another one of Kay’s grandchildren ~ Jordyn Kay. Although it was very windy, this time the weather cooperated for us and we were able to get some shots outside. The wind was actually in our favor sometimes and gave us a stunning look. Can you believe that Jordyn is 15 years old?
Here is an updated picture of Kay and her boys. Such beautiful dogs! It is always a joy to be around them!

We all are in love with our new pets. It all started with a trip for the kids to visit some chicks and ducks at their aunt and uncle’s house. I stayed home with a sick kid. Little did I know that they would swing by Tractor Supply on their way home. Landon and Elle walked into our home carrying boxes with chirpy chirps coming from inside. I quickly knew what had happened. They came home with only 2 chicks, right? No… we have 12 chicks and 2 ducks, and we have added 2 more duckies since.
I knew I married a farmer at heart. His heart is for caring for animals and people. I have seen it time and again… Tater’s love in giving of himself for others. It’s incredible, and I love that about him. It has been no different with this experience. I have loved watching him with these animals and the kids. We all have enjoyed these little critters in our home. They stayed in our kitchen the first night. I quickly made it a rule that they could NOT go on the carpet. The next day, Tater made them a nice home in our garage where they have been staying ever since. We won’t be able to keep them much longer. They are growing *very* fast and already look so different from when we did this shoot several weeks ago. 
Below are 2 of our ducks: Sunshine and Lovey. 
We are surprised we haven’t killed any yet… especially with Paisley caring for them. She was afraid of them first - afraid they would poop on her.
We now have to watch her to not squeeze the life out of them. She loves them so much and gets so excited to take care of them. She cleans up their poop now like a pro. Paisley named her 2 chicks Red and White (because of their feathers - in the picture above) and her duck she named Quack.
These poor chicks and ducks have been through so much with us. They have been walked in a stoller, carried in a bookbags, and have had their nails painted so we could tell them apart at first. They have swam in our bathtub and have fallen asleep by our fireplace. We have even taken them on errands and to a birthday party.
This girl can’t get enough of hers. Sunshine is her duck and has brightened her days. She loves to snuggle and kiss her duck. Her favorite thing to do is swaddle Sunshine in a towel and watch Doc Mcstuffins with her duck on her lap. Briana and Elle named their chick Tiny.
This picture is similar to the one above but I couldn’t pick my favorite. So here is both. 
He wanted his cowboy boots in the picture. I love the ideas that the kids came up with. It was a school night when we did this shoot. Maybe it was their way of staying up past their bedtime. :=)
Okay, now shoes off.
Ha-ha. We were laughing so hard to what was happening below. And yes, it did poop on his head. Landon took it well and continued laughing.
Besides coloring and drawing, another favorite thing Elle loves to do is to read to someone or something - even if that includes a duck. This was her idea. I love how she gets so into it making up words as she goes along. Check out the duck listening. Too funny. Elle named her chicks: Calm and Settle. Can you tell she picked the non-wild ones?
A chick we named Brownie with help from a friend. (Thanks Carter!) He is one of our littlest and very sleepy here.

Happy Valentine’s Day!
We helped the kids design their valentines for school this year. Elle picked a card for her classmates.
Landon picked a bookmark for his classmates. He is into reading and thought his friends would enjoy this.
Have a great day everyone!

Here is Part 2 of the shoot. She loves her little caterpillar as you can see HERE, but butterflies are also up there on her favorites. When we saw this dress with the butterflies hanging in her closet, we decided to use it for our inspiration for her beach session.

We were vacationing in Florida shortly after she turned four. Our intent was to just do a beach session, but after driving by this place, we knew we needed to take some of her pictures here as well. It just screamed her name. She is an animal lover and thinks it is really fun to be 4. Her beach session will be posted later in the week. Happy Monday!

We couldn’t wait to see this little man show up in our studio. We had only seen him once (the big p. fest, we believe) since his newborn session. The first year is such a big jump in growth, and we were excited to see the big changes he had made. He is walking and very busy these days. What a handsome young man he is turning out to be! We had a lot of fun with his shoot.
