Sharyn & Family

I have fallen in love with these! The location was so fun and I just love this family!

Sharyn & Family Sneak Peak

I'm busy editing pictures, but couldn't stop myself from sharing just this one before they are all ready. She is a natural with the camera! So cute!

My Turn

My good friend Lara and I met to take some pictures of each other and some of our kids. I just love my family pictures! Thank you so much Lara! It was fun to be on the other side of the lens for a bit:) And the extra helpers around got my kids to smile, and the dimples to come out!





She started walking away from me...I love this picture for that very reason!



This is a classic of our family. I wanted to stand in a line holding hands all cute. He wanted to roll down the hill like 5-year-olds do. I was in the process of snapping my fingers and demanding that he stand up and obey right away. I think it's working, when I pull out that snap and my serious voice the kids listen right up:)

My Claim to Fame!

I follow a popular blog called "Pioneer Woman." She has lots of sections on her blog, but my favorite happens to be the photography tab. Sometimes she has tips, she gives cameras away, and she has contests. Right now the contest entries are "your favorite" photo. I have entered pictures many times, always hoping that in the huge flickr group she would notice mine. Well, my dream came true! I was checking the photos picked for the day's group yesterday and saw none other than my own! Words can't express how excited I am. My heart nearly beat out of my chest, I ran to tell my husband and totally freaked him out with how boisterous I was, and I couldn't stop shaking. Here's the link so you can see my picture, it's about 2/3 of the way down.

I'm on cloud nine. So honored to have my picture looked at by PW, let alone picked! I mean, she's famous! And I'm right in the middle of decorating our half bathroom and this picture is in it...it will always bring a special smile to my face. Thank you PW!
