celebrate | Avery is 2

Last weekend we got to celebrate sweet Avery's 2nd birthday with an owl themed party at the park! We had a blast swinging, spinning on the "spin-wheel," eating delicious cupcakes made by Cakes to Dye For & watching Ave open her gifts. 

Thanks for letting us be part of your special celebration! We love you, Avery!

I bet you can't guess who wasn't happy about taking these pictures. It's real life & I don't even mind. I want to remember the real life moments - not just the happy ones that seem to get posted to social media.

Looking back at last year and the year before, it's simply amazing the change that two short, but oh so fast years bring about! 

*We missed DP and Mel for the family pictures this year (sorry guys)! 

celebrate | hayden turns one!

This past weekend we had the joy of celebrating Hayden turning O N E!! We've enjoyed watching Hayden over the past year & can't wait for the years to come! I hope that he has the same sweet friendship with our boys that their daddies share. 

Hayden, you are so loved! Happy FIRST birthday, little dude!

Dave & Gina are expecting their first baby, a little boy, at the end of the year! Mike & I love having them in Greenville & can't wait for baby Beep to join in on all the fun!

 Baby Beep, you are already so loved. I can't wait to see you grow up with our boys. Your mom & dad are so, so special to us. Know that we love them & we love you!

I had the privilege of shooting maternity pictures for my beautiful sister & brother (in law) this weekend. I love capturing special memories family & friends - people who are near & dear to my heart. 

And, I have loved watching these two over the past several months as they're prepping for baby Sadie's arrival in just a few short weeks. Baby girl, we're waiting (not so patiently) for your arrival! You are already being prayed for and are already so loved. 

celebrate | Sammie turns ONE

Happy 1st Birthday, sweet Sammie! 

We had so much fun celebrating Sammie's first birthday last month with a tea party at her house! French macaroons, pink + white cupcakes (by Cakes to Dye For), doily banners, beautiful flowers and fun tea cups & pots .... and rides for the kids (of course my boys wanted to ride the RED fire truck) made the tea party absolutely perfect! 

We love you sweet Sam! 

Baby Hayden

CP & Whit, you guys are doing a great job with sweet baby Hayden. I loved watching you two tag team comforting and soothing him while listening to you talk about life with a newborn. 

Hayden, you are more loved than you know little dude. I cannot wait to see you grow up with our boys. Your mama and daddy are so very special to us and have been for a very long time. Here's to (future) sleepovers with Amos & Solomon, soccer games, lake weekends, mountain dew cubes and whatever else you boys find yourselves in to. We'll be here, enjoying watching  you grow every step of the way! All our love, sweet boy!
