Snow Dream

Nature· Newborn· Personal· Trees

15 Feb

Seems like the past 10 years or so, I’ve missed all the ‘big’ snow events that my parents/ brothers/ in-laws– everyone kin to me– have witnessed as I was either in South GA at college or Clemson which would only get about 2 or 3 inches. I was even SO excited to move to East TN for 2.5 years thinking I would finally see some descent snow; however, that of course didn’t happen until the exact day we were moving back to SC (6 inches). FINALLY!!!– I was able to relax and enjoy some perfect snow, in Lexington of all places. lol. Enjoy these beautiful pictures. I had soo much fun playing 🙂

I must say I’m extremely proud of this one! My hubs and I had so much fun building a snowman. The snow was PERFECT for it, and didn’t get all grassy and dirty either.


Oh how I love birds. And trees. And just nature in general. God is so gracious!

This is my grandparents farm house. They just moved out of it about 6 months ago to a more updated modular home. Chopping and hauling wood and fighting with the squirrels finally became too much for them. My Granny deserved a shower too! (only a tub in the ole house) lol.

I KNEW this would be an awsome picture when I mashed the button. The snow fell from the tree right when I snapped it. Amazing.

Of course, I have many pictures of my son and doggie daughter! This one I particularly love for some reason. Probably because it has a tree in it! lol

And oh, the many pictures I took of this sweet little boy! He is 7 months old and hopefully from these pictures he will remember his first extended day in the snow. (We stopped in Johnson City, TN and snapped some pics in the snow, but never was he able to play!)

The two handsome men in my life!

I was so glad to capture a good picture of Satilla in the picture with little man! She was standing in the perfect position 🙂

Play time with Daddy! “I sure do love his shiny sunglasses”

Awww. Boots! (I heart cowboys!)

    Plus, the pic with Satilla & the tree would be PERFECT for your tree design we've been looking for!

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! 😱

Our family is 21 years old today! 8/14/04 Thank you, Lord, for leading us to each other all those years ago as high school students. 🥹💜

We also recently finished a series of videos that I wish we would have had as newlyweds, so I want to share them with you today. So incredibly important as you walk through life in a marriage, because it’s downright HARD at times, but 100% worth it! 🙏

God of creation
There at the start
Before the beginning of time
With no point of reference
You spoke to the dark
And fleshed out the wonder of light… 
If creation still obeys you, so will I!

We’ve been to Montana and back the last 11 days!!! I have saved a highlight if you haven’t been following along in my stories. 💜 We had the most wonderful time as always visiting the best of friends and the wilds of a land that has forever captured our hearts! (For those new around here, we had the pleasure of living in Montana twice now- 2017 and 2019- for 4 months each time.) I have about 3k photos to sort through, between 3 different cameras (😆), so be prepared for a photo dump. We made it home last night at 2am, then dove right back into our first day of school (and homeschool community day) at 8:30am this morning. 😮‍💨The jet lag is real.
