Memories, Dreams and Reflections | 2015

Filed Under: Family, Photography Tagged With: memories dreams and reflections

I have been doing a memories, dreams and reflections post each year since 2010. It is my favorite thing to do at the end of each year. You can see all the past years here. I love looking through my photos from the year and picking out my favorites for each theme.

Me!

I didn’t take this photo but I love it. You may see a few photos from our family shoot with Whitney Norko.

I Love You

I love my three sons so much! I was definitely meant to be a boy mom. Prestyn is so chunky compared to my two skinny minis. They both eat all day long and still so skinny.

Still Laughing…

Dustyn makes the best scared faces anything he sees a shark. lol.

Winter Wonderland

Snow from January 27, 2015.

I Was Inspired…

I was inspired by the movie Big Hero 6 to make these Baymax Cookie Balls.

Spring Fever

Spring flowers are my favorite!

Travel or Vacation
Vacation

We just got back from our vacation last week. We went to Sea World and Busch Gardens in Florida. I took my DSLR but I ended up using my phone the whole time. It was just easier.

Summer Days

A Day In My Life

Prestyn loves to be held all day long, so he gets worn in a baby carrier a lot.

All Smiles

Prestyn giving me huge smiles with his new Elephant toy he got for Christmas.

Autumn Harvest

Love taken photos of changing leaves in the fall. The bokeh at sunset is always so gorgeous.

My favorite photo from our shoot with Whitney.

Celebrate!

I had another successful VBAC, definitely a reason to Celebrate.

Let’s Do It Again…Do-Again

We went whale watching and I really want to go again. It was so much fun.

I Miss You
Miss

I lost three people close to me this year. My granddaddy James, where Prestyn gets his middle name , my grandma Cokie (pictured above), and my Aunt Joanne. I miss them all so much and only wish I had more photos of them. We also had to say goodbye to our dog Dudley. 2015 was a rough year for my family.

Beautiful

A beautiful sunset in our little town.

Dress Up
Minecraft-Costumes

Dustyn dressed up as an Enderman, and Carsyn was Steve riding on a pig, both are from Minecraft.

Macro
2015-10-21_0002

Love this shot of the mushrooms. Not technically macro I guess. I already know what may be my macro next year though. I took amazing photos of snowflakes yesterday with my phone and new macro lens.

Holidays
joy

My three boys on Christmas morning.

My Favorite
First-Day-of-School-2015

The boys on their first day of school. Still one of my favorites.

Don’t Ever Change
bwDSC_5969

Dustyn is the best big brother to Carsyn and Prestyn. He always watches out for them and I hope that never changes.

Just Because…So There! 
Just-Because

Just because he is so cute. Carsyn really is such a happy guy most of the time. As long as all of his basic needs are met he goes with the flow and has a great time. The only time he is not happy is in the car. Not sure what it is, but he has never really liked it.

Hopes and Dreams
DSC_6648

I hope that Prestyn will grow and develop well this next year. We had a scare the first week of his life and I just hope that it doesn’t affect him in the future.

Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest Our last 1st tooth loss. 😢 She is our youngest kid to lose their first tooth.

It’s been loose for awhile, but when she bit a lollipop at school today it became super loose and started bleeding. Then she was crying. I went to pick her up and by the time I had gotten there she had pulled it out, it had stopped bleeding, and she had stopped crying. Still can’t believe she is old enough to be losing teeth. 🦷

Nothing spectacular, but she was excited. Of course I had to film it so it was bokeh, cause it is so much prettier that way.
