My heart nearly exploded with pride & joy as we watched our sweet little boy’s first school Christmas program at his new preschool in SW Portland. This school has been a blessing and he’s really enjoyed it.  We dressed Brady in his new “Christmas best” from his RaRa for the big night. Isn’t he so handsome?! […]

Each year I’ve photographed Brady playing in a pile of leaves usually around Thanksgiving. It was a little earlier this year since the seasons are a bit different up here in Portland vs. Dallas, TX.  Here’s the 3rd year I’ve captured our sweet boy experiencing the joy of throwing and jumping in leaves! The view […]

We had a dinosaur themed birthday party for Brady on his actual birthday (Halloween)! The party turned out to be a great success and it was a blessing to celebrate with so many new friends! When we moved to Portland this summer I assumed we wouldn’t have a big birthday party for Brady this year […]

We did it!  Over 2,000 miles, two vehicles (one 12 years old), a toddler, a golden retriever, and two adults…. We made it safely across the country in five days from Dallas, TX >> Houston, TX >> Amarillo, TX >> Boulder, CO >> Salt Lake City, UT >> Boise, ID >> Portland, OR!  Praise the […]

The last day we were moving out of our house at the end of May (2015) we stopped to take some self-portraits in front of our first (very beloved) home. This was the first home we bought together as a newly married couple (6 months in, Sept 2010), we hosted many church home group gatherings […]

There seemed to be bluebonnets blooming all around Texas (not so much Dallas), but there was this one little patch of bluebonnets that bloom in a field at the end of our (old) street where it hits White Rock Lake. We were blessed to catch the tail end of them before moving to Oregon.  Here’s […]

We were blessed by Brian’s little brother, Dan, to receive a family membership to the Dallas Zoo this year for Christmas.  We squeezed in two visits before we moved to Portland, Oregon.  They have a really awesome updated children’s area and if you go in the morning on a weekday you pretty much have it […]

Clearly I’m way behind on blogging/sharing personal photos, but for good reason since we just made a cross-country move (to Portland, Oregon) at the end of May/beginning of June and have taken the past month to get settled in and find a new “normal”.  These are some photos of Brady back in April when we […]
