So, today, all four of my brothers competed in and finished an Ironman Triathalon. If you’re not familiar with that, imagine swimming 2.4 miles, biking 112 miles, and running 26.2 miles ALL IN ONE DAY. They finished in times from 11 and a half hours to over 13 hours. Today, I took a nap for...

Ha! You make me laugh, Shannon. Congrats to your brothers… that is quite impressive!

That is so cool. I have to commend them . . . and you, if you really got a 2 hour nap in you’re lucky.

hi shannon! i don’t know if you remember me or our family…you did our session at a sort of remote beach that we had to walk down a slippery, windey path to get to. anyway, those pics are proudly hanging in our living room – still – after three moves!! i found your blog through kathi and just wanted to stop in and say hello!

Props to the brothers. I, too, sat on my can all day. It feels good.

Hello, It is so good to find your blog! Your photos are AMAZING! I really mean it. AMAZING! Your family is so cute too. I have a hard time believing that we ever spent a night talking about whiz-poppers with Andrea. I don’t know if you remember that particular sleep over.
anyway if you would like to get in touch, I think you have my email from this. i have a blog, but I’ve locked it down so send me your email address and I’ll send you and invite. I miss seeing you, and I love being able to keep track of you somewhat now.

it isn’t like it is a secret…it would just take too long.
Tricia has been waiting patiently for her images… Let’s not waste any more time. On to the images! Above: the details… all ready and waiting to play their big part. And- let’s get this show on the road! Tricia’s best friend couldn’t hold back the tears once she saw Tricia in her dress… I love...

That is hilarious about the Star Wars theme! Beautiful images, Shannon!
Just hours into summer vacation- My mom (a teacher): It’s passing too quickly! Shelby (a student): It’s only 4 o’clock? What am I going to do with my life?

Haha, we’re only hours into ours.
Although, my summer is different than most moms.

I love it! Shelby–you are going to hang out with Auntie Andrea very soon. Get yourself pumped up.
**I meant to publish this on Saturday! I wrote it Friday, but couldn’t figure out how to set it up to publish later.** Somehow, eleven years has passed since I first met this soul… Seriously? HOW!! Someone trying to sell me something recently asked if I was over 25. I nearly said no, and I...

I can’t believe she’s 11! I think she was 2 the last time I saw her. Hopefully we’ll be able to get in touch more after we move back west. That last picture is a totally a face you’d make.

Happy Birthday to Shelby! She is absolutely a joy to have in class… and I’m not blowing smoke, either!!

Hey Shannon, I don’t know if you will ever see this, but I was reading your blog and I think Shelby is the age I was when we first moved in. Andrea and I were about to start junior high and you and Kristi were in 8th grade. I can’t believe your little girl is our age when we first met you guys. Wow that is sooo crazy.

So, a week and two days before Mothers Day I got a call from a guy who wanted to have pictures of his daughters to give to his wife for Mothers Day. I was already booked for that week, but decided to squeeze them in. I told him I wouldn’t have fit him in if...
