just a few more...

funny little thing....

alayna's favorite ride at the fair....

the "steering wheel" (ferris wheel) lol!

my babies...again.

oh...i just love my girls. i just can't seem to squeeze, love, and hug them enough. they are my world, and i'm always striving to be the best mother for them. it melts my heart to see them interacting in that kissing, giggling, girly type of way. it's what i want to capture, it's what i want to remember forever. okay, it almost makes me cry (alright, i do sometimes!) realizing they won't be like this forever. my #1 goal in life is not to be the best photographer, but to look back and have no regrets with how much time i actually spent playing, giggling with, teaching, loving my babies. which takes me back to striving to be the best mommy i can be to them, and not getting so busy (which i struggle with at times) that i overlook, or don't take the time to just sit back and stare at them. this time is soooo precious and ever minute i have with them at this innocent, sweet stage of their lives is like heaven.

so just take a minute, and sit back and stare at your babies today, and take in the moment.

oh yeah, more to come from this session:)

the love of trains...

we took my nephew for his 4 year old, well 41/2 now, pictures to the trains. he, like most boys, loooooves trains. i realized how much he looked like my brother, which is his uncle, after loading these and looking at them for the first time.

whitney on my new sofa....

i tried out my new little sofa with whitney the other night. we picked up this sofa on our way back from north carolina. seems like i got a story with each piece of my furnitures i have now. i spotted this baby going thru the country of beautiful VIRGINIA, now i see why my dad loved that state so much! there were a few small flea markets people had set up along the highway...and there it was! anyways, i won't go into how we got it home, being our car was packed with luggage, it was pretty funny though!
