Family and Fall...These are a Few of my Favorite Things!

I LOVE THE FALL!!
I love everything about it, but mostly I love taking photos in the fall.
Sunday afternoon we took the kids to a park and attempted taking our own family photos. We relyed on our tripod and luck to bring forth good family photos. Since there was no one on the other side of the camera to get our kids' attention, it took a long time, but we did our best and we were able to get a few good ones of all of us. That was my main goal coming into this. We were also able to get some of just the kids. The one of Kennedi and Kaden on the bridge is my absolute favorite.
I just love it.
I look at my kids in amazement that they are ours. I am so blessed to have them in my life. I am humbled that the Lord trusted Jerrod and I to take care of His precious spirits.
I always dreamed of having my home filled with family photos, and now it is. Our family is not complete yet, so our photos in our home will multiply as the years go on. For this reason, my home may not be the most fashionable in design, but I don't care. FAMILY is one of the most important words to me and I want everyone to know that when they walk into my home.
We hope you enjoy looking at them!

All I can say is Wow! You have some amazing talent, not only from the pictures, but from pushing the button and running back and posing! Wow Heidi, well done and what a great post about families. I love pictures as well and with the ability to take 1000's on a digital camera the pictures are endless! Thanks for a great post!

It has been a very long time since I have last posted.  Very long.  I have so much catching up to do, but I need to write about a very special little girl and the fact that she is turning TWELVE today.  I first wrote about my story here .  If you have no idea what I am talking about start there.  Read my story.  It was the first time that I really shared my story out in the open for the whole world to read about.  Five years later, so many things have changed.  I have changed.  We have added 2 more beautiful boys to our family.  We are blessed beyond what we could have imagined.  Today, I will be thinking about Alex all day and I will play the events over and over in my head for the next few days. Alex is twelve today and that blows my mind.  Sometimes I feel like that experience was something that I just lived and other times it seems like forever ago.  But, I can't help but continue to ache for her and ache for that re...

A VERY Significant Day

I am behind on some blogging, but I realized that I won't be able to get all of that done right now before I post this. And, I really want to post this today. Some people get the opportunity to have something so significant in their life happen that changes them forever. I am one of those people. Today is a very special day for me. One of a few very special and significant days for me. I have only been celebrating this day for the past 7 years, but I will celebrate it for the rest of my life. Today is Birthmothers Day. Yes, I am a birthmother. I know that most of you do know this about me, but there are some of you who don't know and this will come as a shock to you. I wanted to take this opportunity to write down my feelings and hopefully I can share some sort of insight to this topic. For those of you who don't know...a birthmother is someone who has placed a baby for adoption. When I was 18 I discovered that I was pregnant and was scared beyond imagination. F...

My Story--10 Years

Image
I have many titles, a daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother, etc.  I cherish all of those titles, and try to be the best that I can be in each of those areas.  But, a title that I hold very dear to my heart is the title of "Birthmother".  Almost three years ago, I came "out" to the world that I was a Birthmother.  Close friends and family knew, but I wasn't ready to be so open about it yet.  I finally felt I was ready, and wrote my story HERE .  Please feel free to read it.  It is a long one, but it is the whole story. That was three years ago when Alex was seven.  Now she is TEN!   I have changed a lot in ten years.  I am so much more open with my story.  I am proud of the woman that I have become and the decisions that I have made in my life to follow my Heavenly Father.  I don't care who knows my story now.  If they hear it from me, then it is told the right way. Today is Alex's tenth birthday!!  Whenever h...
