And here is a little peak of my 4th of July evening!

I ♥ faces; Let's Heat It For The Boys!

So at the LAST possible minute I decided to enter this weeks I heart faces contest: Let's Hear It For The Boys! Since I have this adorable/crazy nephew, I knew I could find some sort of picture of him to fit the title! So.......

Brandon & Cathy's Reception!!

My hilarious friend Cathy and her husband Brandon were married on April 24, 2009 at a beautiful beach resort in Mexico! On Saturday night they had a great party with their family and friends celebrating that special day! This is the thing I love about Cathy: she is sooo laid back, sooo much fun, and can make absolutely anyone laugh! :) When I arrived Cathy was hanging out in the living room, just chatting with her friends and ready for the party to start! I was able to get a few cute shots of Cathy and Brandon together, but for the most part, I was having a great time capturing her friends and family having fun! They had a tent for dinner and dancing, a few games for the kids outside and a barn where of course, the WINGS were playing (and won!!!) It was the most fun I have ever had at a reception and I can't thank Brandon & Cathy enough for inviting me to capture their special day!! Thanks guys!!!

Eric & Family!

I've been a little behind on my blogging, but I promise to have more updates this weekend! :)

Last weekend I met up with Eric and his family! He had some family in town from Texas, so he had asked if I would be able to do a few pictures of the whole family! Eric had found this great park in Holland and we shared the little park with a weddding party too!! We had a fun afternoon taking pictures and I got some cute ones of the kids too!!

Memorial Day!!

I love Memorial Day for a few reasons....1) I think it is great that we can set aside a day to remember the men and women who are and who have served our country. They have sacrificed so much so we can enjoy our barbeque's, time with our families while there are away from theirs...they have done a lot for our country and I am so grateful for them. 2) Last year I started a tradition of hanging out with my sister and her friends Lisa and Scott over at their house. We grill, have munchies and usually sit around and chat. Me, I run around the yard taking pictures of the kids. After a crazy busy weekend at work, it was a much needed break! Here are a few pictures of our night! :)

I know the story behind these shoes, but it is still a cool shot! :)

Cooper! Scott & Lisa's horse...I mean dog!! :)

Poor Bailey was not having a good night...

Miss Hanna

I just love this shot of Bailey!

I think this picture means she is going to be t-r-o-u-b-l-e when she gets older! :)

I ♥ faces: Silhouettes!

So I recently came across this amazing blog called I ♥ faces! There is so much great information and cool tips on the site, I could be on there all day! They do weekly contests, so I thought I would give it a try! Here is my entry for silhouettes!!

Sneak of Memorial Day!

I took over 100 pictures of our Memorial Day festivities, but here is one of my favorites from the day!! I will post the rest tomorrow....after a good nights rest! :)

Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful holiday weekend!
