The Pioneer Woman

Last month I got to meet a sweet, sweet lady named Ree. Ree is the Pioneer Woman. If you haven't fallen in love with her blog and website, you have to check it out. She is hilarious and really boosts my spirits some days when I need a good laugh. Mandy was so awesome to come with me. Two pregnant mamas, two unhappy bellies, two excited ladies. Thank you Mandy for coming with me and sticking with me the whole time we had to wait our turn. It was a long time, but for me it was worth it and I am very thankful for your sacrifice. You're the bestest ever! So here are the pictures (way past due) from that fun night!!


Here she is signing someone's book.


Yay! She was SO super sweet!




This is her best friend and her sister Betsy. They were beautiful too!

By the way, after these pictures were taken, my camera totally stopped working. I know it held out for me so I could document that I did meet The Pioneer Woman, but then I had to pay 170 bucks to fix it. Darn it! :) All's well now though.

Beautiful ladies and handsome little men!

We went to the Opryland hotel and had a ball. I wanted to get some cute photos of the kids in teir outfits. There are a few extras of Emery. I loved how excited she was to see all the decorations! So sweet! Anyway, enjoy!







GG and Pops, Thank you for our fun Christmas clothes. We got so many compliments and the kids love them. Emery thought her dress was made for flying and flapped all over the Opryland hotel. Isa danced and played the lady and Liam and Colin just enjoyed their playtime. We love you and miss you. July can't get here fast enough!

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas! We love you all! Thank you for the blessing of a wonderful year full of family and fun. We are so blessed because we are loved by each of you. Thank you!

Beautiful!!

YEP! Not only is Christy talented, beautiful and a great mom, wife and sister, but she's also expecting #3! Wahoo! Congrats sis! We're so excited for your family!

WAHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

Yup! We're all REALLY EXCITED!!!!! Congrats Nate, Mandy and Marley!!!

October Wedding

This past October I flew to Seattle to shoot my first wedding with my friend Mandy. If you haven't checked out my blog lately, look here. And to view the first few batches of wedding photos go to Mandy's web site at www.amandakayphotography.com. In other good news, for my birthday, Nic bought me the rights to my own photography website. Plans will be underway in January to launch this website and officially get my business underway. I couldn't be more excited. Thank you for helping, supporting and loving me along this journey. I still have SO much to learn and accomplish, but I am taking it all one step at a time and that is the right pace for now. I won't be announcing it on my photography's blog for a while, but I couldn't hold in the good news. So stay tuned.

Ok, you wore me down. Let me go look in my photos for something to add to this post. What post is complete with out a picture, right?!
