Ahhh Summertime + Go Royals!

For the first time in twelve years, I am enjoying a lovely summer vacation...ahhhhh.....

But wait, let me back it up and get you all caught up on the past 8 weeks...

Here's a quick recap:

• I finished up my second student teaching placement 
• I applied for what seemed like a million jobs 
• I had several interviews 
• I graduated with my M.Ed 
• I accepted a 1st grade position at a local district 
• I have spent the past couple of weeks playing catch up 

And now here we are... I can say without a doubt that I have dearly missed my summer vacations. Not only is it a time to regroup and catch up, it is a great opportunity for me to spend valuable time with my little one, which is one of the great perks of being a teacher... Just knowing that I will get to spend all of my summers with her just makes my heart happy!

Although we have many activities that we love to do in the summer, one of the big things we tend to do is go to at least one Royals game during the summer. I realized last week that I neglected to post the following picture from our outing last summer.

I'm sure many of you who live in my local area share the same Royals sentiment...every year, there is hope that the Royals will be great and have another season like the 1985 season... they win a few great games in the beginning of the year and we all get excited... and then they begin the sad but expected downward spiral to the bottom of the league. So before that happens, I just want to celebrate the fact that the Royals are still doing pretty well in the league and to hang onto the hope of an above .500 season.

Go Royals!!

DD 2012 + Day 13

Watching Christmas movies during the holiday season just might be one of our favorite things about the season. We have a plethora of movies to fit the mood and feel of the holidays and we look for any and every reason to bring out the movies when we can. So by the time December rolls around, we are more than ready to watch some of our favorite classics.

This spread is really just about enjoying the moments of the season as a family and about making our lists and checking them twice... Because it would just be sad to me to not have every little detail taken care of :). I know... I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist... and that's okay! Here's a closer look at the details...

I hope everyone has had a splendid start to their weekend! Cheers!

I had the great opportunity of taking pictures of this sweet family in the fall. I was fortunate to have worked in athletics with this sweet mommy, so when she asked me to take pictures of her adorable family, I was very happy!

Here are a few of my favorites from our session...

I love getting to take pictures of all of these sweet families! Happy Friday, everyone!

Wells Family + Casey Wright Photography, Lawrence, KS

I've had the lovely opportunity of taking pictures of this fellow Baker University graduate and her family for the past two years. I just love this year's photos and how the navy colors play against the winter backdrop. I also love the dramatic looking clouds that rolled in the day we took these pictures.

I just love taking photos of this sweet family... Here are a few of my favorites...

They are so adorable! Have a happy Thursday, everyone!

DD 2013 + Day 12

Today's post is a quick shot of my day 12 of December Daily. I love how this spread came together with all of the fun pops of color. Making cookies is definitely one of our favorite activities during Christmas time. We also love racing out to the mailbox to see if we received any new mail or cards... Here's a closer look at the pictures and theme...

Have a Happy Wednesday, everyone!
