we {heart} laketown!







We love going to see grandma and papa!! They are so much fun, and brock thinks its so awesome to hang with papa! Pretty much because papa lets him do whatever he wants! Brock and Kenzie have a blast running, chasing, and running! They are so perfect for eachother because they both have such a creative imagination! It's so funny to hear the games they come up with. Wade and Dan set up the new ping pong table {perfect present deb} and it was such a blast!! i am officially the worst ping pong player in the entire family!!!! But i don't mind! It was enough to just be able to do something fun with them! Plus, there's no beatin dan! On our way home we stopped to see cute little grandma stringham! She is such an angel. We don't get to see her often enough!

Baby animals














We had so much fun going to see all the baby animals and the heritage center! Brock loves animals! It was so excited to him that he could hold the baby ducks and chicks!! I'm pretty sure his favorite part was holding the bunnies!! He love, love, loves them!! He had such a blast riding the ponies too! I felt so bad for the poor animals! the poor things get mauled to death by all the kids! I bet most of them don't make it to the next day! Someone that worked there told me that at the end of the day they'd seen 8,000 people go through there!! Those poor animals! the kids sitting next to brock at the ducks was squeezing them so hard they were squishing out of their hands {the kids just get a little too excited}. Plus i have to say thank you so much to lori and wade! they were just leaving as we were arriving. So i coaxed them into letting me borrow their stroller! I can't believe i forgot mine. Jax is just too heavy to be carried all the way through the heritage center!! Nicole and I would take turns and we would let him down to crawl in the grass, but it was still quite the work out!! Thank you so much lori and wade, you saved my back!!




It was an amazing feeling to be able to take my boys {together} this year! Last year Ryan and I took brock alone and then took him to grandma debbie's so we could drive to primary childrens hospital to visit jaxon! He was still in the NICU at this time last year!! What an amazing turn around he's made! It was such a relief to stroll my two HEALTHY boys to see the animals!!

they are my reasons







These 2 are the reason i love taking pictures!!!! Brock loves to get his picture taken as much as i love taking his picture! jaxon isn't the best poser {or the most patient} but he does pretty good, he's learning. There are so many awesome places in this old abandoned sugar factory in whitney!! It is so tempting to take all of my clients there! Unfortunately this fragile building is full of hasbestos { or however you'd spell it} . Apparantly the company that owns it can't afford to have hazmat tear it down the cautious way. Neat right?! So just a word of warning to any of you who dares to enter!!!
