Makenzie’s Valentine Mini Session

Yesterday I finally was able to see my Mackenzie! I hadn’t taken her pictures since Christmas! I missed her. This is her 7 month shoot. Of course, she did great. She is nothing but smile. Carsyn helped us out along the way. She would go give Makenzie a kiss every 3-4 mins. I think it was Carsyn’s way of encouraging her. Haha!

 

My Weekend Get-A-Way! New Market, Virginia

This past weekend was the best time I have had in a long time. It was hard in the beginning, but once Friday night came, I was good!

Our very good friends, Ben and Stacey are getting married in March and they invited us on one last “hooray” before their big day. We staying in a cabin in New Market, Virginia. It’s right by Luray and about 20 minutes outside of Harrisonburg Virginia. We had a blast. It was EXTREMELY hard leaving my kids, but I put on my big girl panties and did it! Once we arrived, we found out our heat was broken in our cabin and it was 40 degress INSIDE..17 degrees outside. The owner brought us heaters and it was all good. I never thought I would ever have to turn on an oven to keep me warm, but I did. It actually was an eye opener. I couldn’t imagine not having heat during these cold months. I am so fortunate to have a warm home to sleep in every night. ANYYWAYYY, here are some pictures from the weekend.

 

Kissing Booth- Valentine’s Day Mini

I have been waiting and waiting for good weather. It seems like it has done nothing but rain and snow here lately. Today was FINALLY the day! I made a cute little kissing booth for some Valentine’s mini sessions. I was actually proud of myself. It is freakin’ adorable!

Getting my daughter to do session’s is like pulling teeth. And today just happened to be the muddiest day EVER…  Combining a two year old and mud is not good. I was actually surprised I got anything.

A Doc Mcstuffin’s Party

It happened! Finally! Carsyn is two and her party was a success.  In case you don’t know who Doc Mcstuffin’s is, check out my past post HERE. This past Sunday was her party. Everything was amazing. EVERY LITTLE DETAIL. Thank you to all the family and friends that were able to come. It was very small, which was good because I couldn’t fit one more person in my house. That may be the last party I am able to have here at my house.  Here are some photos from the big day!

Winter Wonderland — Well, sorta

Here in Virginia it snows maybe 2-3 times a year. Last night we had our first snow. It was very short lived but we enjoyed it. Carsyn doesn’t remember the snow from last year, so this was kinda her “first” snow. She wouldn’t shut up about it. The kids and I woke up and of course, first things first, we had to play in the snow. It didn’t last long. Fingers, toes, and noses couldn’t take it. Brayden said, “Momma what do you do in the snow?” I guess it kinda stinks when we don’t have a hill and maybe 2 inches. We still enjoyed it. Take a peek.
