Jace Walker -9 years old Little Red, bird-watching in the dewy yard this morning. You can often see him toting a bird encyclopedia in the crook of his arm with a pair of binoculars around his neck. There is a family of swallows nesting in the eves that he knows very well. I love this […]

We had a fiesta to celebrate Landon & Riley’s high school dipolomas. Levi knew a guy with a taco truck so we had him up to cater the event. Definitely the highlight of the party. A laid back affair: warm sunshine, cold pop, mariachi on the transistor, good company & delicious food. Drifting in the […]

A lollipop from Spain and a new outfit from Grandma(Violet’s)…a good reason to take out the camera. Hazel is wearing the same dress Violet wore here. Today we had an outdoor fiesta planned to celebrate the big boys’ graduation from high school. The rain changed that. We decided to postpone until next weekend. Right now […]
Misty Dawn left Washington for South Carolina 11 years ago, when she was 7 years old. She is back for the first time. Her mother & I met in New Hampshire, when we were 17. We became fast friends and were pretty much inseparable until they moved away. Our first babies, Landon & Misty, were born 10 […]
16 years ago I was pacing up and down the mountain and hospital halls. I was barely 23 and laboring with my third baby. After a very long labor and a c-section scare, my first daughter was born and she has been such a joy ever since. Destiny Evelyn is sweet sixteen.
My little tomboy princess in the silk Sabra Gown. She likes dirt, bugs & pretty dresses. I love this gown. We hiked down the muddy trail to the beach and trashed this dress. When I got back to the house I threw the whole thing into the washer and it is as good as new. […]
Hazel waving the red, white & blue. We started the day at our small town parade. We all parked at Anna’s house and walked to the parade. Afterwards, we sat in her backyard and visited for a bit before heading to Windy Ridge to prepare for the party. My brother, Chad, and his son, Gage. […]
My sweet & sassy girl. Mostly sassy, lately. If you have been following along you may remember me boldly stating my intention of weaning the baby, here. Well, I failed. Miserably. I think after successfully weaning 8 children, I suffered from a case of overconfidence. I have now been cured by the blue-eyed baby troll. […]
I look out the window on Christmas Eve day and see this. A cross made from the firewood Levi was chopping. Baby Hazel napping in her eden’s bouquet Poinsettia Blouse. With one foot in the grave, Matt is a favorite with the littles. He takes off his prosthetic leg and horrifies and fascinates them all at […]
