What Makes You Smile?

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: carsyn, dustyn

 My little boys make me smile every single day. I don’t know what I would do without them. Here they are plotting their plan against mommy together. Dustyn is telling Carsyn and he is listening intently.

The boys and I hanging out together. It is rare to find a pair of shoes together.

Taking random pictures make me smile. I took the shoe picture earlier testing some settings and I just love the way it turned out.

    Everything about photography should make you smile because you are very good at it! It should bring smiles to lots of others, too. Love that first picture of Dustyn and Carsyn and how you have them "plotting." That made me giggle!

    Aren't the Pioneer Woman's action sets just so awesome? They make it so much simpler! Looks like you have two super cute reasons to smile. Your boys are absolutely adorable. I love that first shot of them together. And your photography? It's beautiful.
    I'm playing along with Project Smile as well. I'd love for you to come on over when you get a chance. Have a great day.

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.

Carsyn went swimming and Prestyn and Annie had fun lining up dominoes.
