Makes me sick to watch this, BUT

All parents have a desire to protect their children. This video gave me a better understanding to how these people prey on children.

2011 Garden

The garden is officially planted! My really good friend and past college roommate came and helped. She was a huge help! Brycen also discovered that he loves to eat dirt! He really enjoys going out with Mom and eating dirt while I weed! Pictures soon to come!

Scrapbooking Must Haves!

I love checking this website! There are some great finds and the price is usually very reasonable. The pictures using the products on sale also give great ideas!

Wedding Bells Coming Soon

I recently took engagement photos of my brother and his fiance Summer. They will be getting married this September. I think they make a super cute couple and look forward to the addition to the family!

My little Rocky!

Who Me?

Every morning he gets about an hour and a half of tummy time while I get things done! He plays so well on the floor!

Nothing is more exciting

than having Daddy driving by in the tractor! We don't get traffic by our house and never watch the cars drive by. That is what we get for living in the country and it is very peaceful! But when we do hear the tractor we run outside and wave!

Christmas Kickoff With the Family!

Christmas just get better and better! This year especially with additions of Gentry and Brycen!

Stacia holding Brycen and Levi holding Gentry!

Never a dull moment when taking pictures of children!

Levi loves babies and is very caring!

Excited for santa to be coming soon!

Kisses for cousin Brycen!

House Plants!

I love house plants. It is like gardening without all the extra work! I enjoy little house plants, but my favorite are large. Dumb Cane is one of my favorite large house plants. It is very appealing to the eye and does well with filtered light.

Another favorite plant of mine is Ficus Tree. I like this plant due to its happiness no matter where in the house I put it. Sunny or shady it is happy. In the bottom of my plant I have ivy growing. I haven't had the plant very long and am curious to see how this affects the plant. 

The plant that I have had the longest is my Pothos plant. It is vine plant. Its vines grow to large lengths and are lush with leaves. When I fought forest fires this plant would survive the 22 days that I would be gone without watering, although I would not recommend this. It was nearly dead when I got home, but with water would always come back. It is easily trimmed and with the trimmings new plants are formed. They make great gifts too!

My Inspiration

He was the photographer at my wedding. His photos are captivating and inspire the viewer. His personality comes through in all of his work. I hope his photography is as inspiring to you as it is to me. His professional photography is phenomenal, but the photos that he takes of his son, family, and for fun are my favorite. I hope you enjoy!

Our Little Baby Boy!

Brycen Frederick was born 10/23/2010, 7lbs 11oz and 22 inches long! He was a little bundle of joy. Both Grandma's were there for his birth, which was a wonderful experience for everyone. I was in labor for 26 hours, but it was all well worth it!

After his first bath.

Sleeping under the heater. MMMM Nice and warm!
