Daddy’s will do all kinds for their little girls. I will never forget when my dad surprised us and made this Barbie house for my sisters and me. He used wall paper and carpet from our own house so that the house resembled our house growing up.
I have many fond memories playing with it. I love that from now on - everytime that I look at this doll house, I’ll remember how small my little girl once was…
Tater recently made these doll beds for the girls. It made me so thankful for the love and effort he put forth in hand making something special for them. Building these doll beds… singing to the kids before bed… tickling and playing with them… the list could go on - He is such a good daddy. I have been blessed to have exceptionally great men in my life.
*The adorable purple tutu outfit is from our good friends Ryan and Amber who knew that their photography friends would love it… and we do!

We never know what the day ahead holds. It always seems to be an adventure with us, and we mainly are the cause of all the unexpected craziness…
like when we ripped out our drywall last week in the kitchen just to fit in our fridge that we already had measured for…
or when we were up till the early morning hours right after Paisley was born making about 10 pies to use up these bushel of peaches. No matter what we do though - we continue to laugh at ourselves and meanwhile make a lot of memories.

Tater and I wanted some pics with just the kids. Notice there are no *family* pics. I think our days of setting the self timer are no more.

I found and read this HERE during a middle of the night feeding last night and loved the idea. I pray that I can think of others more than myself and do these acts of kindness throughout all the days that I live. Many of you have been showing us kindness by providing meals, gifts and your love. We are so thankful for our friends and family. Love you all… May you be blessed!

Miss Paisley is already 3 weeks old. We still have more images we want to share with you from her first two weeks. We got a little busy with the birthday parties of our two oldest, and now we are back into the swing of things.
Paisley has been doing great. She currently is sporting the beautiful acne face that newborns get (one of the reasons we only photograph newborns 2 weeks old and younger). She is sleeping great, and we are enjoying her. We hope to get a better schedule going on as school will be starting soon - a new change for our family that we are anticipating. We are also in the works of getting our September calendar finalized and will be making the announcement of booking sessions with us soon.

It wasn’t so at first. When she first entered this world, tears came to his eyes and he quietly said, “but I wanted a boy.” Conversation of a male dog joining the family came up, but we knew he’d be in love the more he got to know her. Yes… now he is excited about his new sister and loves holding her. He asked if he could get this picture with her, and he says that he could just look at her for a LONG time. Thankfully we are holding off on getting that male dog, and until then, he and daddy are enjoying their boy’s nights.

She still seems so tiny, but we can tell that she is growing everyday. The days are flying by, and we wish we could slow down time. Her belly button cord already fell off, and I was a bit sad as it was just another step in her getting bigger. We have been taking a lot of pictures of her so we don’t forget these special beginning moments. So if you’re not sick of looking… many more pictures will be coming.

Paisley Joy has given us a heart full of joy. We are enjoying each and every day with this little girl. What a miracle a newborn baby is!

The day finally came! A week ago we were blessed with the birth of our fourth child.
The morning began with a doctor appointment. Around lunch time I felt the contractions coming on. Since I got to the hosptial too late with my last pregnancy, we left for the hospital mid-afternoon. I didn’t want to miss my epidural opportunity this time. Our little girl, Paisley Joy, was born at 6:34 pm. Everything went so well, and God’s timing was perfect. We feel so blessed to have a new, healthy little girl.
Leading up to the big day, I was designing the birth albums of our other kids. One day, Landon was watching me work and saw the images of the other births. He asked if he could watch this baby “be pushed out”. When the day came, we asked him if he still wanted to come to the hospital with us, and he said yes. He got to witness the delivery and helped daddy cut the cord. Afterwards he told me, “Good job Mom… You didn’t even cry.”
We have been having a great time capturing her early days. Stay tuned!
