Memories, Dreams and Reflections | 2016

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. It is so fun to gather the photos by looking through all the photos I took this year. Last year I really slacked and didn’t take many with the DSLR, but I am changing that this year. I am doing a Project 365 challenge again this year. I have been sharing them on instagram but I plan to do a monthly recap on the blog at the end of each month.


This photo was taking by Kayla Shope Photography. It is one of my all-time favorite photos.

I Love You

Prestyn sure does love his older brothers, he is always giving them kisses. This one was taken by Kayla too! I told you I didn’t pick up my DSLR much this year.

Still Laughing…

Dustyn is always making us laugh with his silly faces and telling us his jokes.

Winter Wonderland

We didn’t get much snow this year!

Birthday

Prestyn turned a year old. We are so blessed to have him in our lives.

Friends

We went to visit our friends in Alabama. It was so much fun.

I Was Inspired…

My friend posted a photo of her daughter like this and I just had to try to recreate it.

Spring Fever

Travel or Vacation

We went to Universal Studios and had so much fun. Our favorite part was the “live” raptor. You can see a video here.

Summer Days

Carsyn had so much fun at the splash pad.

A Day In My Life

We made it past a year of breastfeeding. This time I decided to get some professional photos done and I am so glad I did. Tracy did an amazing job.

All Smiles

Carsyn LOVED swinging on the new wheelchair swing at our new accessible park! It is amazing!!

Autumn Harvest

Made this cute wine cork pumpkin for a fall decoration.

Family or Home

Love my family of five. This is another photo from Kayla.

Celebrate!

Dustyn actually had a birthday this year since he is a leap day baby.

Let’s Do It Again…

We spent a lot of time at the park this past year and I am looking forward to many more trips to the park.

I Miss You

I still miss Dudley on a daily basis. He was such a sweet boy.

Beautiful

Dress Up

Prestyn in his skeleton outfit.

Macro

I took this photo of a snowflake using a macro lens on my phone.

Holidays

My three boys on Christmas Eve.

My Favorite

One of my favorite photos of Dustyn that I took this year.

Don’t Ever Change

I love his smile. He is such a happy boy and I hope that never changes.

Just Because…So There! 

Hopes and Dreams

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.

Hoping we are on the tail end of it and will be back to feeling 100% soon. She painted the wooden unicorn all by herself and did a pretty good job. Swipe to see my newest monstera leaf open. Carsyn went swimming and Prestyn and Annie had fun lining up dominoes.

Eighteen year anniversary. Kind of crazy to think about. Married at 19 (me) + 21 (him). Four kids later. Life is wild at times but we try to live in the moment each day.
