Well, it fell yesterday. We were swimming at the lake and all of a sudden Joshua comes to me and says, ‘here’, and then runs off.. It was so funny because I didn’t know what he was handing me ’till he was gone. He is soooooooooo stinkin’ cute. I just love this stage. Their snaggle tooth smiles are the best, and it’s very temporary. It’s the beginning of a much bigger step in the lives. It makes me sad to see something from his baby-hood leave him, but it is something that must happen. We love photographing this stage in all the kids we photograph. It’s something to always be remembered..and it’s very special, too. Here are a few of my little man’s new smile….

I am not sure what it is about this image, but it is my all time favorite of her. I have been taking her pictures since she turned 1, and have gotten alot of pictures that I just love. But this one- just takes my breath away of her. I love her eyes, and in this image, there is so much expression.

We have just been incredibly busy with portrait sessions and dance schools, and end of the school year stuff, whew! It’s been fun at the same time.. I am trying to catch up on what I’ve been up to :)
I photographed these 2 newly weds a few weeks ago. They used to go to my church till their dad was able to start his own. So we dont’ see them as often. It was good to catch up with them and do some pictures after they got married..
Here are some of my faves :)

It illustrates the death and resurrection of Jesus. These cookies are amazingly delicious!Annie’s “Resurrection Cookies” Page
~Also known as Easter Story Cookies~

This is a great recipe to teach your Children the REAL story of Easter. That the Lord Jesus Christ
our Savior is not dead but has Risen. We serve a Risen Savior……

This activity can be done as a “family” or for Sunday School. Of course the Sunday School option might
be to hand it out to the class with a note to the parents. Grandparents might considering
doing this with their grandchildren this year too!!!

So Grab your Apron and Let’s Get Started!!!!!!!

You will need:
1 cup whole pecans
1 teaspoon vinegar
3 egg whites
a pinch salt
1 cup sugar
a zipper baggy
1 wooden spoon
scotch tape
Bible

Instructions:
These are to be made the evening before Easter. Preheat oven to 300F.
*** (this is very important — don’t wait until you are half done with the recipe).
Place pecans in zipper baggy and let children beat them with the wooden spoon
to break into small pieces. Explain that after Jesus was arrested. He
was beaten by the Roman soldiers. Read: John 19:1-3

Let each child smell the vinegar. Put 1 teaspoon vinegar into mixing bowl.
Explain that when Jesus was thirsty on the cross He was given vinegar
to drink. Read: John 19:28-30

Add egg whites to vinegar. Eggs represent life. Explain that Jesus gave His life
to give us life. Read: John 10:10&11

Sprinkle a little salt into each child’s hand. Let them taste it and brush the rest
into the bowl. Explain that this represents the salty tears shed by Jesus’ followers,
and the bitterness of our own sin. Read: Luke 23:27

So far the ingredients are not very appetizing. Add 1 cup sugar. Explain that the
sweetest part of the story is that Jesus died because He loves us. He wants us to
know and belong to Him. Read: Psalm 34:8 and John 3:16

Beat with a mixer on high speed for 12 to 15 minutes until stiff peaks are formed.
Explain that the color white represents the purity in God’s eyes of those whose sins
have been cleansed by Jesus. Read: Isaiah 1:18 and John 3:1-3

Fold in broken nuts. Drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper covered cookie sheet.
Explain that each mound represents the rocky tomb where Jesus’ body was laid.
Read: Matthew 27:57-60

Put the cookie sheet in the oven, close the door and turn the oven OFF.

Give each child a piece of tape and seal the oven door.
Explain that Jesus’ tomb was sealed. Read: Matthew 27:65-66

GO TO BED!

Explain that they may feel sad to leave the cookies in the oven overnight.
Jesus’ followers were in despair when the tomb was sealed. Read: John 16:20&22

On Resurrection Sunday (Easter) morning, open the oven and give everyone a cookie. Notice the cracked
surface and take a bite. The cookies are hollow! On the first Easter Jesus’ followers were amazed
to find the tomb open and empty. Read: Matthew 28:1-9

~Source for these cookies is unknown.

WOW!! I went to the Dallas Aroboretum and photographed this little cutie pie! We had the best time playing with her and got the most wonderful pics. She was so cute! Here are some of the ones we took from Monday…

He is just like having an infant. He wants to eat every few hours, he follows us around everywhere we go, and he loves to snuggle with us when he’s tired so he can go to sleep. He’s so cute! When he see’s his bottle he comes running, and his tail wags when he see’s it. His tail also wags when he see’s us. It’s so adorable. We know we are his ‘parents’ for now.
I don’t think he realizes that he is a lamb. I have grown quite fond of him. We already have an awesome home for him when we are through taking pictures with him. He will have acres to run on, and goats and other animals to play with. So he will be quite happy.
Last week he got to go on his first vacation out of Texas. We went to Louisiana for a few days.
While there, Marc’s sister Melissa took these pics of us. Lenny has also gotten to visit the barber shop and the post office as well. Pet Smart really enjoyed thier visit with Lenny,too. By the time he reaches his new home in the country, he will be a well seasoned lamb with plenty of worldy experience…



I like to think that he is smiling in this picture….

Lenny loves to snuggle….
