Worlds best Uncle

Soooo....I was leaving church one Sunday and headed over to my moms house and while on the phone with her I saw some strange car pull into her driveway....and then my mom gets out of the car....and then around the driver side I see someone...and then I see him!! My uncle David...the last time I saw David was at my Grandpa's funeral 7 years ago and I was so messed up on drugs. Alot has happened and changed in the past 7 years and it was so good to see him, his sweet wife and his awesome kids!! Below is a picture of our children....makes my heart sooo happy...

I got to take their family pictures while they were here... and here are some of my favorites...

Here is Miss Ridlee....she is full of energy and her spirit is bright and shining....she is giving David a run for his money...but she is precious and God has big plans for her...

I just love this picture of them all together...

David, you are an awesome father and a great husband...Papa would be so proud of you....I know that I am!!

I just love this girl!! I enjoyed every moment I got to spend with you, Angela...you have a servants heart and I love your personality and character...Thank you for being so good to my uncle. Love you girl!!

And, TJ....this kid is awesome...Skylar loved hanging out with him....he is smart, funny and has a sweet spirit...

This picture is so sweet!!

Our boys playing together...

I can't resist sharing this photo....and I can't help but see Addalynne Grace below but that is me and uncle David. He is only 3 years older than me so he is more of a big brother than an Uncle. I can't tell you how glad I was to see him and I'm praying my pants off that he gets the job transfer he is looking for so they can move to Oklahoma.

Love you so much!!!

My babies...

I cannot believe my Addalynne Grace is already 9 months old and Skylar is going to be starting Kindergarten this Thursday....it just does not seem possible. I took them out this last week with the help of my friend Lora to take their pictures together....here are some shots I took....I'm patiently waiting for my friend Lora to show me what she took....she is an amazing photographer so I know they will be great.

This first picture is absolutely classic about my little Miss A....she is all about pulling over every bow or flower I place on her head and I'm okay with that....she wears them for a minute or less...LOL...and it's all good...Here she is conquering the big bodacious purple flower...and as you can see by the look in her sweet brown eyes....she was successful...I just love her to pieces!!

My word....this young boy is so sweet...of course I am totally biased because he is my boy....but he just melts my heart and this was a total candid shot and I got his precious smile right on the money.....thank you Jesus!! He is growing up so fast!!

Looks just like his daddy...

Little Miss A with her tougue sticking out is on a mission...that little girl is always determined to get where she is going...she just as her big brother is going to be a great leader...she is going to change her generation...

Be still my heart....

She shares the same eyes as her big brother who shares them with daddy....warm yummy chocolate eyes...

This picture is too cute...head down...full blast on a mission crawl...saying to the world....I'm Addalynne Grace Meares...I have a purpose (Jeremiah 29:11)

Love watching him in his moment playing with his toys...he is organized and purposeful about what and how he plays...His future is so bright...

Awww yea....caught his attention and this is the result....He loves his momma....and I sure love him!!

This picture is too cute for words....Just let the image melt your heart...

Stefan and Stephanie Reed's Wedding

Stephanie's Bridals

I had the pleasure of taking bridal portraits for Stephanie Davis (now Reed)....she was so fun to photograph....her love for Jesus shines brightly through....

Reflection

I love this sweet baby girl...

I pray that their paths always lead to HIM...

Sweet Baby Peighton

This is a very special post for me...I will never forget meeting my friend Sarah at LifeChurch.tv, we had this special connection from the very start. I had just found out I was pregnant with Addalynne and she and her husband Charlie had been trying to have a baby for 3 years. They had gone through treatments and for some reason they could not have a baby....they were steps away from trying more treatments so that they could have a baby. We prayed and prayed....she and Charlie saught prayer from our Pastor and I will never forget the day in April that she called and asked me if January 2011 was too soon to schedule newborn pictures. We both laughed and cried because we were so excited....God is so Good....he has blessed Charlie and Sarah with a precious baby girl...her name is Peighton Miranda and she is so sweet and precious. I feel so blessed to be a part of their lives and to have caught their precious moments through my lens. Sarah and I have become great friends through our pregnancies. I truly adore this woman....and I'm so blessed that God has allowed me to have such a friend.

Love you Sarah!!

Thank you Jesus

Sweet baby Peighton

Here are our sweet girls together....best friends from birth....I can't wait to see how they grow up....I just know they are going to love Jesus like crazy!!

Sarah and Charlie, words cannot express how much I love you both and your baby girl....thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of this journey with you. Sarah, your friendship means the world to me and I'm so blessed to share such special moments with you. I love you dearly.

You are both wonderful parents. Peighton is a blessed little girl.

Proverbs 22:6

Teach a child the way they should go and when they are old, they will not depart from it.
