Memories, Dreams and Reflections | 2017

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: memories dreams and reflections

Another year is in the books!  I am so excited about Memories, Dreams and Reflections this year because I have a ton of great DSLR photos to choose from, last year I had a lot of phone photos.. I successfully completed Project 365 using mainly my DSLR, there were a few phone photos when I forgot to bring my DSLR. I plan to take a photo everyday again in 2018. I am so excited to add a little girl into the mix this year.

Me

The boys and I on Mother’s Day. Next Mother’s Day I will have a little girl to add to the photo.

I Love You

I love Kenny and my boys so much. Kenny is such a great dad and husband.

Still Laughing…

So this was funny but not funny. Dustyn fell down practicing before his soccer game and told me his arm hurt. I thought he was being dramatic so I let him play his game anyways. The next day it was obvious something was going on so I made an appointment for the day after that. Sure enough it was broken. Mom of the year award!

Winter Wonderland

Prestyn enjoying the snow.

Birthday

Prestyn turned two years old.

Friends

Dustyn hanging out with some of his best friends at Sonic. They have been in the same class for years.

I Was Inspired…

Carsyn got to go surfing with Best Day Foundation. It was so inspiring to see all the volunteers coming together to make it the best day ever.

Spring Fever

What is Spring without muddy puddles?

Travel or Vacation

I went on a weekend girls trip to Rodanthe. It was so much fun.

Summer Days

Spent a ton of our Summer days in our “hot” tub. We keep it around 95 so the kids can swim in it.

A Day In My Life

Trying to get all 3 boys to look at the camera and smile is next to impossible….

All Smiles

Carsyn doing his most favorite thing ever… swimming. He loves being in the water.

Autumn Harvest

The Autumn leaves did not disappoint this year. They made a gorgeous backdrop for photos. Autumn also brought Dustyn a new bike and a new level of confidence.

Family or Home

Our family Christmas photo.

Celebrate!

We are so excited to be adding a girl to our family!

Let’s Do It Again…

Our friends from Alabama came for a visit. We take turns visiting each other so I can’t wait to see them again!

I Miss You

This is a picture from about 4 years ago. I still miss my granddaddy so much. Wish he would have gotten to meet Prestyn and our new little one.

Beautiful

I took this at the beach when Kenny & I went out for our anniversary.

Dress Up

The boys on Halloween. Carsyn was a Minion, Prestyn was a monkey, and Dustyn was Luke Skywalker.

Macro/Close Up

I couldn’t find any true macro photos, but this is a close up of the hydrangea plant that Kenny got me for our anniversary. Can’t wait to see it bloom again.

Holidays

The boys in their new pajamas on Christmas morning.

My Favorite

Love the smile on Prestyn’s face and the fact that Carsyn can participate in stuff with his brothers.

Don’t Ever Change

Dustyn is such a sweet and passionate boy. I hope that never changes. He is always willing to help out and is the best big brother.

Just Because…So There! 

Just because he has the cutest little smile.

Hopes and Dreams

Hopes and dreams that everything goes well with the rest of my pregnancy and birth. Can’t wait to meet our little girl in just a few short months!

 

Happy 2018!!

I feel like I have been flip-flopping between brown and blonde, also short and long. I plan to grow it long again and stay blonder. Balayage is my best friend so I don’t have to dye it every 6 weeks.

Over the next few days she was sick on and off. Wednesday she was completely fine. Then got sick in the middle of the night. Thankfully she seems all better now. Hopefully that is the last of it.

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. 🦷
