Indoor photoshoot with Stetson Travis King

This little guy has a b-day next month!  This wasn't for anything special but I ended up getting a few good shots that I may just blow up for his bed room wall :) We were up late waiting for Daddy to get home and decided to play with bounce flash while he was comfy and reading a book on Mom's bed.

He is too cute and these shots show is personality just perfectly!

Colton turned seven!!

Appologizing in advance beacause I'm going to load a whole lot photos of one child!  The one who began this whole journey called "Motherhood" which I absolutely love and enjoy!  He is the one that caused my heart to melt for the very first time.... I could stair and stair and kiss and snuggle for hours on end! Thank you Lord for giving me such a beautiful baby who is growing into such a handsome young man of God :)

 Then and now....... 

We had a few or our new friends over, it was crazy and hectic but the kids had a blast!

They got to fee the baby calves, ride horse and roast marshmallows! 

 Sean stacked up a nice new fire pit and brought hay bales over for

everyone to sit on. Kinda feels like camping right in our back yard! 

 I tried to make a snake cake.. it wasn't as creative as I was hoping it

would be but everyone seemed to think it was pretty cool. 

 He opened most of his presents out by the fire, yes, in the dark! So, with that said.. I 

didn't get very good photos of the present opening. Anyway, he had a blast and that's what counts! 

He's already asking when he'll be 8!!!! haha

working with Daddy

Last Monday we were able to join Sean at work while he did some testing.  The kids thought it was great fun to "go to work" and help out.   It's always fun when we get to see some long horned cattle and a cave.   I had to bring the camera of course and I even captured a hawk that was down in the cave trying to cool off. 

 The boys are the ones that spotted the Hawk!

Stetson had to wear his work clothes he said "Mom, I have to wear these pants 'cause I'm going to work!"

 and yes..... we all wear silly hats in the hot Arizona sun :)

 putting on masks so they can watch Daddy crush rocks.

 always a dirty job..... 

 local ranchers run cattle all over the place... watch out for Cow pies!

Independence Day 2013

Every year at this time I am so thankful for our country! It may not seem to be going in a good direction but lets remember where our country came from and never stop praying for it :)

We celebrated yesterday by just spending time together.  Sean and the kids helped me clean up the house (and we actually had fun) together! After all the chores were done we spent a few hours at the pool.  I always have so much fun just watching my family have fun together!  We look forward to every weekend when Daddy gets to join us.   I think Sean enjoys it as much as the kids...... wait ................ he is a kid!

We decided before the evening festivities that we would go home for dinner and take a short nap. Everyone fell asleep and was refreshed to go again. We headed back over the to the school where they had water bounce houses and slides. Met some nice local folks and watched a really nice small town fire work show.

The last photo was a 19 shot barrage of fireworks in honor of the 19 fallen Granite Mountain Hotshots.
