mowhawks & eskimo kisses?!?

yep! and in this case, go together like the sun & sand. zachary & savanna are always a ton o' fun! i'm lucky enough to have these kiddos as neighbors. savanna is the definition of sweet. she will come find me when i'm outside, and surprise me with a gorgeous flower from her momma's garden, or some delicious fresh picked veggies. (also too from their garden, yep BIG green thumb, and i'm taking pointers) zachary is a non-stop ball of energy (if he could bottle it, i'd be the first in line). they came over for a bit, and we played...and captured some memories in between.

imagine...

hubby, THREE kiddos, 16 hour shifts AND full-time school. seriously. i don't know how this amazing momma does it, really i don't. well i kinda do, because this pappa is pretty supportive. but nonetheless, it's amazing how well she balances it all! shannon has not changed one bit from when i first met her and nathan (who is now the most well rounded 10 year old i've ever met, who ADORES his siblings, like no other) as a tot at the studio at target, well almost 10 years and 2 kiddos later, this momma still maintains her easy going, laid back personality. ...oh and when i was complimenting momma on how well she handles it all, and nathan, without missing a beat, looked and me and then at his momma and said, "Yep, that's why we call her super-mom"<---------and that melted my heart. we had a blast playing at St. Mary's College. kaelyn is a spunky lil' gal, who has her own ideas and won't settle for anything less. did i mention that she's two?!? and jackson, the sweetest, most easy going baby that was full of smiles from the first shot to the last. this was one awesome session, and one amazing family!

...i did say that lil' miss was spunky...and here's the proof!
