Hello blog world… I know, I know, I’ve neglected you a bit lately, but alas, I’ve decided that Wednesdays are THE day– the day that I will blog.  Not force myself to blog (because I love it so!), but WILL do it!  I’ve  been up to SO much lately and I can’t hardly wait to share! 🙂  But first, I owe you some sweet newborn images.  I’ve had several newborn sessions lately and man, if you would have asked me back in 2008 (when I started the little biz) if I would ever photograph newborns, I would have told you NO way, because at the time, I was afraid to even hold one. lol  But they melt. my. heart!  I love them to pieces!  So as promised… I present Miss Baby G.  Her mommy and I went to high school together and have recently reconnected… now again, living in the same area! 🙂

Hello… don’t you LOVE this nursery?!?!

I discovered via Facebook an awesome shop for newborn headbands and hats called Adorable You.  While I would have loved a pull back shot and different angle of the headband in use, little miss here decided right about the time I snapped this shot that it was bathroom break time. hehe  So hopefully I’ll pull in another little girl that I can use it on in the near future!

🌻🍉 Summer Photo Dump 3 🍉🌻
 
Our old-soul, mancub hit a milestone birthday this summer. So, as an early birthday present, we hesitantly (😅) decided to take him and a friend to a Hank Jr. concert, since they are both big fans. Our thought process: “Hank Jr. is old now… sure his music is timeless, but it’s bound to draw an older, more calm crowd nowadays.” NOPE. 😆🥴 

The trip morphed into a group trip with the friend’s parents and sister, and my dad joined us, too! All was well until a thunderstorm sent everyone to the concessions area where we were packed in like sardines for TWO HOURS to avoid the lightening and rain best we could. 😳 Well, you can only imagine most people there had only one thing to do during the two hour wait, so that by the time we could return to our seats, it was quite the scene. 🙈 Our sweet, sheltered homeschooled children were awakened to some of the ways of the world that night, for sure. 🤣🥴 Gracious!!! 

But alas, Hank came out on stage and was GREAT, even still as an older man in his 70’s. He played alllll the instruments, and even still could throw his leg up on the piano! 🤣😳

The boys ended their first year of fishing for PAC last April in 10th place; which was amazing for them! They overcame many obstacles and learned to fish better as partners. This particular tournament happened to fall on Jason’s birthday (he’s their boat captain), so our friends camping close-by helped him celebrate. 🤣😁

(We enjoyed it to the fullest and it FLEW by; so, slowing down to make posts didn’t happen. I don’t even know how it’s almost September. 🥴)

In April, we ventured to Beaufort with my family to see the Blue Angels in action. 🤩 They were awesome to see in person!

Anytime we vacation, you can bet fishing and/or hunting will always be interspersed. 🤪 So, it’s a good thing I enjoy just being outdoors, walking creek and river banks, and taking pictures. But there *was* one said adventure where I thought for sure I was going to end up nose-to-nose with a grizzly, mountain lion, or moose. 😅 And it was cold and raining. lol 🫠 But we made the most of it! 

We also spent some time playing on one of the nearby lakes. We all even braved the cold water! 🥶🤣

We checked out one of the waterfowl viewing areas and grabbed pizza at our favorite little roadside restaurant where the kiddos love to play pool and Pac-Man. 🤣

Our next Montana adventure was a beautiful hike! Can’t go to Montana without putting in some steps. 😁 And it’s always the best when the hike includes amazing views along the way. It’s no big deal to pass people hiking and everyone has pistols strapped to their chests. Just an observation- which I don’t mind one bit. After all, we were in grizzly/ mountain lion/ moose country.  You can see on the wilderness sign that grizzlies have clawed it and bitten chunks out of it. 😅 I learned that the huge rock fields we passed attract grizzlies, where they source a certain type of moth for nutrition. They can be heard at times, flipping boulders in search of those moths. 

We also had our little sidekick Pippa along on the adventure, too! We fell in love with that little doggo while there. 🥰 And found an awesome patch of huckleberries rambling around on the national forest. They are SO. GOOD! So very thankful for the Cole family adventuring with us!

We arrived in Montana Aug. 1 and re-connected with our friends, who were so gracious to host us while visiting. (Seriously, so blessed! 🙏) Jason met Seth back in 2005ish through work, when both couples lived in Tennessee, and hit it off instantly. We have remained friends through having families, and moving in different directions, and now our kiddos have been able to grow up knowing each other.  Couples friends are hard to find in life and we don’t take that for granted!

The first adventure was a ride on the road up the mountain behind their house. Holy moly what a view, right in their backyard, basically! 😱
