Art & Carla Ford Wedding

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!


I photographed my friends wedding this weekend. I have only had time to edit one photo and thought I would share it.



I took about 500 shots, I had 2 cameras with me. My external flash died half way through the wedding so I was happy when the sun came out and we were able to go outside for a few shots.

Can you feel the LOVE ????

HOPLEY CREST

Here is a picture of the "HOPLEY" coat of arms.
Christine and Matthew both have this tattooed on their bodies. Kinda Funny cuz their last name is "Arredondo" but they have grown up with Paul since they were tiny little babies so "Hopley" is how they are known to some around here.

Alesha wasnted the tattoo also but she is too tiny and doesnt have enough skin to tatto this huge thing and it can only be sized down soooo much before it looses detail. I want it to and I have plenty of space on my body for it but Im afraid. It took like 2 or 3 hours for Christine to get hers done.

FIRST YEAR OF T-BALL FOR JESSIE BOY !!!

I have 5 kids, 3 girls and 2 boys and none have ever really been into sports. Christine played soccer for a while but Im not sure if she really liked it.

Jessie started Tball practice last week and Im not sure if HE is really interested. He goofs off and plays with the dirt, puts his glove over his face and NEVER stops talking. Im glad he has a good patient coach. (Thank you bill for your patience:)

My Rainey Wears Glasses Now

I wanted to share the news that my Rainey wears glasses and she looks so grown up when she wears them. I see her so grown up when she reads to Jessie or to me or when she is on her laptop checking out her "Favorites".

She is only 8, soon she will be 13 and hate me !!!

I have to end this post before I start to cry :(

I LOVE YOU RAINEY!!!!!!!

MEET EMILY !!!

This is Emily.
She is kind.
She is caring
She smiles alot.
She is my friend.
She is my coworker.
She is a Christian.
She is married to a Preacher (who just came back from Iraq).
Well now you know alittle about Emily but one of the bestest thing about Emily is that EVERYDAY that I walk into work she tells me I look B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L, she makes me feel sooooo special. Not that I need someone to tell me that Im beautiful every day (paul tells me all the time too) but its nice to hear and daily is even better.

THANK YOU EMILY FOR ALWAYS MAKING ME FEEL SPECIAL AND I THINK YOU ARE B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L TOO !!! LOVE YA!!

My Lander Poo's First Time On A Slide !!!!

So my favorite place to hang out during warm weather is at Alora's shaved ice down by the pool. I can go over there and buy a tiger's blood shaved ice EVERY day and never get tired of it(fatter maybe). Yesterday was "Opening Day" at Alora's shaved ice and I wasn't gonna miss that! Alora bought a kids slide and I decided to put Landon on it and he LOVED IT. Look at the expression on his precious little face. He was laughing and smiling all the way down to the bottom.
