Em's Prom!

Brock & Em have known each other since 3rd grade. They took notice of each other at Em's birthday party and he asked her to prom! As always, she looked beautiful! Brock looked great too!

Em's Sweet 16 Very Merry Un-Birthday Party!

Em turned 16! We wanted to give her a dream party so we asked her what she wanted to do. She said she wanted an Alice in Wonderland party. I was a little apprehensive, after all she wasn't turning 8! To our happy surprise it actually turned out really cool- and she had a great turn out! She had 30 friends celebrate with her & she had the time of her life! Success!!

Happy Birthday Emily!

I cannot believe my baby is 16 today. You know the ole cliche- it seems like just yesterday..but it truly does. I am so proud of the incredible young lady Emily has become. She is such an amazing gift from above. So beautiful, kind, smart, and talented. She has incredible values and truly stands up for what she believes. I am so beyond grateful for her. Thank you Lord for my baby girl!

Trouble!

My amazingly talented baby sister and photographer got ahold of my beautiful baby girl and made a model out of her! I am so proud of KaLee- she is so artistic and did an incredible job! You can see her work at http://imagesbykaleej.blogspot.com. Emily was a natural. She has always had an interest in fashion design and feels that modeling will help broaden her knowlegdge of the field. KaLee has agreed to help her build her book and we're hoping this is the first of a series of shoots.

Two Teens to Tend To

No one said it would be easy, but no one said how fun it would be either! Emily and Justin make everyday both fun and challenging. They both have such different styles from each other. Emily's friends call her a "scene" girl and Justin is what they call a "skater-jock". Even though they are on opposite sides of the spectrum they still completely relate to each other. It is amazing to watch them together. They are best friends and worst enemies. Yes, they both are smarter than we are, cooler than we are, and of course much more fashionable, but in reality they really do teach us so much. They know everything about ipods, pop culture, the latest songs, fashion, slang, and and they are the funniest people I've ever known! It has been dreamy watching them become such fantastic young adults. I'm so proud of my teenagers and appreciate them so much. They really do keep us young!
