Cheryl and Tony...

I had a great time this weekend at Cheryl and Tony's wedding. Despite the wind and rain, it atleast let up so the guests could enjoy the sunshine! They were fun, their wedding party was hilarious. I can't quit laughing about the best man's toast....and carpenter aka window boy:) Congratulations, guys!

Here's a few of my favorites....

Tony and Cheryl at THE VERY SPOT they met...
playing a video game at The Vine in Iowa City...how awesome!

E Session...

As you can tell, wedding season is WELL underway around here. I have to post some of my fav's from Jessica and Nathan's session from the other day. I can't wait to see them on THEIR special day in June. Good Luck guys! Time is really flying for me!

E Session...

I had a great time last night with Danielle and Matt. I can't wait for their November wedding! The rain took a break so I could get some wonderful outdoor shots. I thought I'd share some of their favorites with you... By the way, how was the pizza, guys?!? :)

I gained a NEW Aunt this weekend...

On Saturady I gained a NEW aunt, by marraige, that is:) Here's some pictures from Randy and Laurie's wedding. That would be my "Sexy" Sexton cousin's there. I can't wait to meet Baby Sexton in July....

Kristel and John

This post should have been up last week, sorry I'm falling behind. I had a great time with Kristel, John and their family and friends. The day turned out to be beautiful, which made for a perfect scene at John's Grandparent's Family Farm. Enjoy some of my favorite images!

Madison's Last Day...

My Madison had her LAST DAY of Preschool. She's off to Kindergarten in the fall. Mad LOVED playing in the "kitchen" and will miss all of her friends. Here's the "Photographer Mom" snapping a few last shots....

A quick snap of our fun teachers! Mrs. Miles and Mrs. Whisler at Kingdom Kids

And one last walk away from a fun year!

Unfortunatly, RyLee, my other daughter, had her last day on Wednesday, and me, being the "Photographer Mom" that I am, FORGOT my camera. Add that to my "Mom of the Year" Award Oops List. She had a wonderful year with Mrs. C, Susan, and Linda (who is Mrs. Whisler's mom, funny:) RyLee cried this morning when the whole "We don't have school, anymore," set in. They were great at St. James Preschool. Thank you so much for your unbelievable patience this year, everyone was great!

Class of 2007...

Class of 2007 is coming to an end! Since its been a while for a post, here's a sample...

Happy Mother's Day!

Rachel and Joel

"Awww, mom, not again :)

Mother's Day is RIGHT around the corner! I even reminded the UPS guy...Happy Mother's day to all the mom's out there...your kisses and hugs make this world a better place to come home to. Congratulations to Rachel and Joel Meyer from Wayland, she is the wonderful mother that won my Mother's Day Photo Contest. Although, all of the mother's and daughter's that submitted pictures are ALL WONDERFUL. Have a great weekend!
