Allie's Birthday Photoshoot

Today is the eve of Allie's 7th birthday.  Taking the kids out for pictures has become one of my favorite, treasured birthday traditions.  We've been spending time at Friedman Park in Newburgh lately and I thought it would be a great place for her pictures.  I took them on Tuesday evening - which is when we had pop up showers!  It actually hailed on my van a couple hours before we took pictures, and rained a few times on and off that evening.  Luckily, we didn't get rained on, but we did get some great backdrops to work with (hello rainbows!).  I love her smile with big gaps (can't wait to see what those permanent teeth look like when they come in!), her pink glasses, and of course those blue eyes!

June & July Flip-a-gram

I absolutely love doing these little videos every month.  They highlight what we did, and where we went.  Kevin said the month of July is his favorite of the year so far!  Enjoy!

Sunflowers

I have never been a huge sunflower fan, but that kind of changed this year!  After I grew the one in our yard, I had a new appreciation for the ginormous flowers!  Kevin has a good buddy named Matt.  Matt's dad is a farmer in KY, and he plants a 5 acre patch of sunflowers just for dove hunting every year.  Kevin was telling me about it, and I knew instantly I needed to go see it.  We drove by a couple weeks ago after we got off the river with Matt and his family, and I told Kevin we needed to go back asap and take pictures with the kids!  So, about a week later, that's exactly what we did!
