Stella's party

Hey there!

Lil Stella Bug here

for some reason my mommy says today is a big day and she keeps getting all teary eyed,

she will cry about anything!

 My crazy sisters drove

I was getting a lot of attention

 some people that love me so very much they gave me things! and I kissed them

 I am so sweet like that

My crazy mom said she was going to steal my present 

something about aunt Teresa was finally rooting for a good team 

I don't really know what that means but she laughed and Teresa rolled her eyes

 Then I was put in a chair and every one stared at me and sang a loud song! I wasn't sure about that

 

I don't really like "Stella sandwiches" but they insisted 

 

 I did however LOVE my cake!

I could get used to this birthday party idea! 

Being 1 is hard work so I think I am going to call it a night and go to bed!

MOM! MOM! I want my bed! hello! put me to bed!!!! NOW! 

jump in!

My Sister

she's such a good sport

I tell her I want to take pictures and she says ok

then I have her in a freezing cold dirty creek with a crowd of people watching and she just rolls her eyes at me and goes right in

I love her!

 

there will be more of her soon but these were just because we had nothing to do this day but a more planned shoot is coming :)

Fur babies

Jacki is probably one of the sweetest souls I have EVER met. she has the prettiest smile and just happy personality!

I love her!

Her parents and sister came into town for a visit and Jacki wanted to take advantage and set up a session to capture them all together with their babies:

 And I have to say the "babies" had some wet sloppy kisses but they posed perfect for me and were so well behaved!

4th anniversary

Last year I shared all about my wedding for our anniversary. you can read more about it here

This year I thought I would share a little nit about our honeymoon.

I always wanted to just go to the airport and randomly pick a flight and that would be our location for our honeymoon. but everyone told me that would be way more expensive...... one day I will do it though.

Brian said he wanted to see blue water. and real blue water not Ohio river wannabe blue. so I got on the internet and booked a flight and cruise to the Bahama's. and that was it. I felt like all the planning for the wedding was keeping me so busy I didn't even want to plan any more of the honey moon details. 

After the wedding around 11pm we helped cleaned up the reception hall and then everyone headed over to my moms so we could open our presents. we kissed Julia goodbye and headed home around 12:30am to pack our bags.  We had to be on the road at 2 am in order to be at the airport by 4am so we could get through security and make our flight at 6am! so this picture is us running on no sleep at all!

and we spent our first full day as husband and wife in bed

SLEEPING!!!

 very romantic :P 

but then after we were rested we had the best time!

I always say I had more fun on our honeymoon than the actual wedding. We had no cell service or internet. no responsibilities with work or family to worry about. just my husband and me having the times of our lives.

 This man is my everything and I am so blessed to have him.

in the past four years we have loved and fought, had highs and lows, doors open and shut. We have been blessed with three amazing daughters and tons of memories.

I couldn't imagine going through it with anyone else and I am so excited to see what life has in store for us next. 

Happy anniversary My old man

Blake

I shot Blake's senior pictures earlier this month

He wanted to include his dad's mustang.

It was such a pretty car!

 Then we walked around the woods of his Grandparents home. 

It was such a beautiful piece of land!
