Steph's grad session











Steph graduates high school this weekend. It's been a joy watching her grow into the young woman she has become. (I've known her since she was in middle school.)

If there is one thing I could say about Steph, it's: don't let her size fool you. She's petite but she's a power house. She was the "secret weapon" in volleyball and basketball. No opponent ever suspected a thing and she would surprise them every time! And I'm pretty sure she's relieved the dad squad of cheerleaders retired by the time she was in high school... it may have thrown her concentration!

Not only is she a talented athlete, she is a gifted actor and smart student. Though she may be small, her heart is as big as they come. She is sweet, kind and just so much fun. It's no wonder she's a friend to so many. I'd say her parents (who are also good friends) raised her well. Kudo's to mom, Karen and dad, Steve. Ya done good!

And to Steph, congratulations! You've worked so hard and done it all with such grace. You are an amazing young woman. I can't wait to see where life takes you!

It's starting already




So, I know I posted about this on Friday. However, on Friday, the school didn't have the sign updated! Taylor was chosen as her high schools homecoming queen (and all of us who know her could be more proud!) Over the weekend, I made my way down to the school to get pictures of her name in lights.... Like I said a couple of weeks ago, Taylor is going to do great things in her life. I think this is just the beginning. Today: homecoming Queen, tomorrow: ???

Breaking News..Tay is Queen!




Big news today from West High School! Taylor has been chosen as Homecoming Queen!! Shown here with "the queen" are proud mom and dad and her sisters.

She looks stunning in her white, floor length gown and sparkling smile. That amazing smile is the perfect accessory to the jeweled crown she will wear for the parade and football game tonight! I have to wonder, is she wearing flip flops with her dress?! :o)

Taylor will be reigning over homecoming festivities for the rest of the day and carry this special memory in her heart for years to come. Your fellow students couldn't have picked a better woman for the job. They see the special person that you are too.

Congrats Tay!!! We're so proud of you!

Kyle the Model


Kyle is just one of those guys who is really comfortable in front of the camera. He was game for anything and we pushed him to the limit! We had him climbing trees, bridges ands train cars. All the while, he just smiled and posed for the camera (and didn't smile when we said we were looking for a more serious expression for a shot)  He is a natural in front of the camera and it shows. It was such a great night and we had so much fun! 

Congratulations and thanks, Kyle! 

Taylor is graduating




I've known Taylor since she was about 6. She and her family lived across the back yard all through grade school and most of high school. She and her sisters, Ashten and Maddie and my daughter, Elizabeth all grew up together in that back yard. Endless summer days spent composing dance recitals, jumping on the trampoline, playing kickball and just being girls.

These girls are all growing up now. Many milestones have been reached. The first day of kindergarten, the first day of sixth grade, high school, drivers license's, boys, now they're going off to college. It's been amazing to watch each of them grow into beautiful young women.

If I had to describe Taylor in one sentence, it would be: She has the most infectious laugh, sparkling eyes, a kind heart and is the most warm blooded person I know! When she was a little girl and came knocking at the back door, it didn't matter if it was sunny and warm or if there was several inches of snow on the ground, she was most likely wearing flip flops and shorts! 

Truly, Taylor is an exceptional young woman who I feel blessed to know. She is going to do great things in her life... and to think I'll be able to say I knew her way back when!

Congrats Taylor!!
