Happy Father’s Day!

Father's Day - Anchored in Love_0021.jpg

Today we celebrate fathers. They give us unending love and guidance. They show us the meaning of strength, honor, sacrifice and responsibility. (more…)

Here is my bunch, just us with blue comb mustaches 🙂 I had planned on taking our family photo when we went camping this past weekend, but poor Nigel ran a really high fever and it cut our plans short. Nigel requested the mustache photos and he is a child after my own heart. I personally use any chance I can to wear a mustache, that is why I love the photo booth so much at weddings! Check to this blast from the past:

That is Barrett and I in 2009 celebrating his 32nd birthday and even though it was his birthday party, I insisted everyone wear fake mustaches lol. This Friday we are going to be celebrating his 37th! I can’t help but marvel at how time is flying by and in the middle of the tears. the potty training, the boo boos, and the laughter I know that we are living the best days of our lives. I keep saying to myself and I know it’s true.

Just Us 12 Times: February

March 3, 2014

Today was a good day! I knew that I wanted to make sure to get my challenge photo today and I ended up documenting a simple, but very happy day with my wonderful family. Barrett and I shot a wedding yesterday and ended up getting home later than we expected. When we woke up and realized we had overslept our church alarms, we decided to make the best of it and to get some waffles 🙂

We had our fill, shopped a bit and then came home to work on some home improvement projects while Berlin napped. We spent almost an hour setting up to install some track lighting in our kitchen and then realized that we had an issue with the brackets and needed to go to the home improvement store.

The sun was still shining, we woke up Berlin for a family photo and then took a trip to the park to end the day. The family photos are so much fun to look at. Nigel was our official “button presser” He would push the shutter button and then run to my side to take the photo. The first time he accidentally kicked the tripod and moved the camera, thus the pole in the shot. Another favorite is the last time we let Berlin be in charge and she delayed returning and the camera captured us cheering her back to us 🙂 I love it!!!!!

We have had a lot of trials in our almost 6 years of marriage and to have a peaceful day loving on each other and thanking God for every second is absolutely heaven on earth. This challenge is the best because it forces me to be a part of the moment and in the frame. Mom’s out there please get in the photo too!
