Shabby Chic

I LOVE this momma's taste in home decor!!  As you will see in the following images, she has a shabby chic kind of style.  This house was full of "photo props"...not by her intentions...only a photography gurue would walk through someone's home and think of photo props! 

I was greatful when Kayla, a friend from my highschool days, asked me to do a shoot for her baby...but even more so when she messaged me about 2 weeks after the shoot with this:

"Amy, Eric loved the pics so much he wants you to come back ASAP for more! Next week?"

Of course!!  I headed back over to the Graves' house, and shoot, we did... 

Love this bed...so feminine!!

shabby chic!

who doesn't love baby feet?!?

The shots below are from Baby B's 1st shoot...Christmas themed...

A HUGE thanks to the Graves family for sharing Baby B* with the camera!

Galveston, TX ~ Sept. 3-5, 2010

This year was a little different. Labor Day weekend has always been a LARGE family reunion. It was a very small reunion this year...but, no less fun or meaningful! PawPaw, Gran, and the Amy/Amie's families stayed in the Braden Bay House. AJ and her crew, in the house next door. We loved the set-up!

The ICE CREAM TRUCK had to be the biggest hit of the weekend!!! I think it came to us for a total of 3 times in only 2 days! What makes the sound of the ice cream truck so exciting? I don't know, but even as an adult, there is still something so magical about it.



Cade is puckering up from that sour snow cone & Sammy is all kinds of STICKY (with his snaggle tooth)...


The second biggest hit would have to be FISHING!! Drew was catching them like crazy!


Third, and maybe even a tie with fishing, would be getting launched into the canal! Thank you Daddy!!


Drew definitely flew the HIGHEST in the air...


And, as messy as it is, we always take a few trips to the beach...












Even with 6 kids, we had a blast!! These days won't last long...I am cherishing the memories we are making!

As MAY comes to a close...

Cade not only finishes 1st grade, but his time at Greentree Elementary...Drew not only finishes another year of preschool, but his time at SBC Weekday Preschool altogether. Both of these have been EMOTIONAL transitions for me!! While it is on to NEW BEGINNINGS, it is also a time in which past events become MEMORIES...and it seems that the making of "MEMORIES" is happening all too fast!!

As Mike and I sat and watched Cade during his end-of-the-year program, I said to Mike, "Before we know it, we will be watching Cade graduate high school." That thought is SO SAD for me...I just want time to SLOW down...I don't want it to continue to FLY by. It is all the more reason to SAVOR each moment we have with those we LOVE!! Here are some shots from Cade's program and slide show:

Cade usually sings and does all the hand motions, etc. This time he did the hand motions, but barely sang...

The top, right picture is MY FAVE...Cade & R have been in the same class for both K and 1st grade! They are best buddies!

On to making more memories...we went to Galveston for our annual Memorial Day family gathering!

Drew enjoys the slip-n-slide...


as do Cade & Brock...


Beach time w/ the kids is always a must...
