Feels Like Home

Last weekend, we enjoyed a weekend on the lake!  On Monday, my mom and I made a spontaneous trip to Clemson with Luke and Madison.  Both places, the lake and Clemson, feel like home to me!  I love getting away and visiting both!  Here are some pictures from our nice long weekend...

 The new thing I love for Madison...headbands!  It keeps all those little baby hairs out of her face!  I think she looks adorable in them too!

 We pulled under the bridge to eat lunch.  Jonathan was relaxing and mini me came to join him!

 Sweet, silly girl giving me kisses

 Jonathan headed back to Greenville Sunday night for youth group and because he had to work on Monday.  Mom and I stayed at the lake house one more night (why not!).  We woke up Monday morning with nothing on our agenda then decided to drive into Clemson.  We had a GREAT time!  I don't feel like I get to go to Clemson often to just walk around and enjoy it.  It seems like we always driving in for a game.  We had a wonderful time walking around, going in the stores, eating lunch downtown, and walking around Bowman field!

 Mom bought Luke a football and Madison an adorable Clemson doll cheerleader.  Thanks Gabby!

 Oh Tillman...where I spent most of my days!  :)

 I took this picture, looked down at it, and teared up because in a split second I could see us dropping them off at college (fingers crossed Clemson) and saying goodbye :(

What a fun day!  What a fun weekend!

Discovery Island Water Park

My mom and I took Luke, Madison, and Austin to Discovery Island Water Park in Simpsonville last week.  I have always wanted to see what it is like!  Who knew places like this existed outside of Myrtle Beach??  We had a great time!  It was a little crazy with Luke and Madison still being little.  They loved it and played so hard with their cousin!

 Luke played his pants right off!

 I can't say enough how much I love watching these two boys play!

They had 2 big slides but I didn't get any pictures of us going down those!  You can hold a small child in your lap when you go down the tube one!  We also enjoyed the lazy river but I didn't get a picture of that either :(  If you live in the area and you haven't gone I would recommend it!  Bring your lunch!  

Good times for sure!!

Teresa and Eric

My good friend Brenna, who lives in Columbia, had a friend getting married and was looking for a photographer. She called me! How fun! Sarah (with Bliss Photography) and I headed down to Columbia on June 26th to do their wedding. We had a great time and really enjoyed this BEAUTIFUL wedding! Thank you Teresa and Eric for letting us capture your day! Here are a few of my favorites!

 Beautiful cake made by Brenna and Emily

 Seeing her dad was so emotional...loved this moment!

 Quinn and Riley did a great job!

 I love the joy on their faces!

Congratulations Teresa and Eric!  

We are so excited for you both!
