Summer Adventures (part two)

On our way to our family reunion we stopped in Kentucky and stayed at this quaint hotel called Shaker Village.  The boys had a really fun time exploring the grounds and visiting the animals.  You can also take a ride on a riverboat...here Isaac is mesmerized by the boat going under a train bridge! (trains are his favorite thing in life) 

and a few from our family reunion in Dale Hollow Lake, TN...

Summer Adventures (part one)

 This summer I decided to take a break from my photography projects, though it doesn't mean I haven't been taking pictures.  We have had many adventures this summer starting with the always fabulous and fun Schultz family vacation!  Welcome to the Isle of Palms, SC...

What Home Looks Like - March

The word "home" has always evoked a warm, inviting, and restful feeling for me.  I grew up in a loving home and it is my prayer that my children only know a home that is full of love and is always a place of rest for them.

10 on 10 February

(10 on 10-- 10 photos posted on the 10th of the month)

30.  That is the number I turn this week.  So, to celebrate this new decade of life my husband took me to a sweet bed and breakfast in the country.  A perfect way to relax, reflect, and refresh myself for the 30's.  I think i'm ready now...

What Winter Looks Like - January

Welcome to the first edition of "What ____ Looks Like."  This is a monthly photography project in which we will have a new theme every month.  This month's theme is "winter".   I actually ended up taking all of these pictures on the ONLY day it has snowed this year.  I love a good winter snow...

Every snow day must end with a nice warm cup of hot chocolate.  Check out these special mugs that Grandma has... "What's at the bottom of the well?" 

...a frog?! :)

10 on 10 (January)

I am excited to introduce you to a new photography project that I am participating in this year through the bloom forum.  This project is entitled "10 on 10" because it originated from an idea to capture 10 photos throughout one day and post it on the 10th of every month.  This project is fun and challenging for me because the goal is to capture candid, everyday life moments.  This style of photography is often referred to as "lifestyle" photography.  I have found that this is the type of photography I am drawn to the most, unposed and full of life.

Here is a peek into my day earlier this week:


Some days I am lucky and my oldest wakes up actually wanting his picture taken...today was one of those days! 

   We headed out to an indoor playground (so thankful for these in the winter time!)

After naptime the boys had fun playing "doctor", they were hilarious to watch...and my oldest surprised me by actually knowing what to do with each instrument in his doctor kit.  

Daddy sent a text saying that he was on his way home...

It didn't take long for these two to start making funny faces at me in the window...goofs 

I love this sweet lil man.

Ending the day with a good book..."The Wheels On The Bus..."
