Photography Fun!

I just love to showcase the amazing beauty, captured by camera, that the Lord has created.   Here are some of the recent photos that I have been blessed with taking.


These are my dear friends, The Bravo's. 


Our precious Peanut.  She loves the nutcracker.

I can't seem to locate some other family pictures I did :(  I will have to look more later.

We are back online :)

Ok, after alittle break, we are back online.

Once again my life has drastically changed and it wasn't due to another addition to our family.  Ever since I met the Lord nine years ago, my life has consistently made drastic changes....so needless to say, I was not surprised by this change but its huge.

I bet you are wondering what this big change is :)  Over the next couple of weeks, I will reveal to you what has changed our family physically and spiritually.  It has been one of the most liberating and exiting and extremely frustrating (at times) changes of my life!

I look forward to sharing more with you soon but for now here is alittle family update :)

Peanut:  This little girl is turning into alittle lady.  She is consistently helping me around the house with cooking, cleaning and taking care of her siblings.  One of her jobs is to sweep the front porch so it looks nice when guests arrive and she does it so proudly.  She is reading very well and excelling so quickly in her school...it has truly been a blessing to watch her learn and grow in character.   We have started studying bits and pieces of God's word together and its neat to watch her put the pieces together.


Big Bub:  The biggest praise and exciting news is that he is finally eating vegetables.  He is so proud of himself and shows me his muscles every time he takes a small bite of his veggies at dinner.  This is a little boy who would gag at the sight of veggies.  He is growing up so much too.  He is very creative when he plays and he loves to make spaceships out of everything he can find.  He is also still very in love with dinosaurs and is questioning more about God and creation which has been very exciting.  He is a very sensitive boy and is still learning how to play with his growing little rough and tough brother.

Little Bub:  I wish I had a clip of this little boy talking...it would melt your heart.  He is so funny.  He talks in complete full sentences which sometimes I laugh at because he just seems too little.  He loves, loves, loves trucks.  One of his beloved times is going with Gaga to watch the trucks work.  He loves to read books and nuzzle right into your lap....he melts my heart daily.  He is also the fiesty one out of the bunch and he has a pretty good and passionate temper on him

Baby B:  She is just so teeny, tiny cute.  She has just recently started to crawl and its so funny watching her crawl acrossed the floor because she is so little.  I think she weighs a whopping 14 pounds.  She is about 10 months now.  I can't believe how fast time flies.  She has two little bottom teeth and eats about everything you put in front of her.  Her favorite: saurkraut homemade by mommy!

Big Daddy:  He is doing well and keeping very busy.  Praise God for all the jobs He has brought our way and is providing for us during a rough ecomony.  I think the business is doing the best it has since its birth 6 years ago so I consider that a HUGE praise and thank you to God alone for His provision. 

Bethany:  Photography has been great and I am loving it.  It really helps to have some extra income to work with.  I have a nagging pinch in my shoulder that consistently reminds me of my weakness and my need for God because it is really annoying and really painful.

So this is us and I will continue to post more about the family as I remember and I look forward to sharing my newest "grand adventure" with you bit by bit.
