Memorial Day Small Group Cookout

We came back from the lake on Monday to host a cookout for our small group from church. It was so good to just hang out and let the kids play! We are so thankful for our encouraging community group!!

Happy Memorial Day! Thank you to all our service men who risk their lives to keep us safe!

Water Bugs

Memorial Weekend we went down to the lake house for some R and R :) I was so curious to see how Luke and Madison did in the water and how they would enjoy the boat. They seemed to enjoy it last year but they were so little. Well, it looks like we are going to have two kids who love being on and in the water! Jonathan and I enjoyed a chill day Saturday then on Sunday his family came up to go on the lake. I took a ton of pictures (of course) of our day so here are a few.

I think they jumped off the back of the boat at least 100 times!!

There she goes!!! All by herself!!!

"Daddy, open your eyes! Did you see that?!?! We are swimming by ourselves!"

Little fish! She loved swimming with Angie!

There goes Luke!

Justin practicing surfing. Luke was watching every move...maybe next summer :)

Too cute for words :)

BTW, thank you Uncle Ryan for these awesome life jackets!

What is Memorial Weekend without some watermelon! She ate her share for sure!!!!

YUMMY!

Josh and Jennifer

I was honored to shoot Josh and Jennifer's engagement pictures recently! Jonathan grew up with Josh and will be his best man in his wedding on July 16th! We have fallen in love with Jennifer and both of us think she is a perfect fit for Josh!! They are truly in love and they are a lot of fun! We are looking forward to lot of good memories in the future!

Congratulations Josh and Jennifer! We can't wait for you big day!! Thank you again for letting me capture part of your story...

July 16th will be here soon!

Happy 1st Birthday Stephany

We love our church, Grace! We have meet so many good friends through our small group. Josh and Brittany Sater are one of those couples. They recently moved to Anderson and are no longer in our group :( We miss them but enjoy keeping in touch. Their daughter, Stephany, celebrated her first birthday last month. I was honored to take some pictures at her party. She is beautiful little girl! Here are a few of my favorites...

Happy Birthday Stephany!
