I will be away from my computer for a week.Here's the story: I have been driving past this hayfield the past few days in awe of its beauty. I just could not pass up a picture perfect opportunity. I have been reluctant in the past to just stop and take pictures in fear of gettin' the boot off someone's property. I decided to put all fears behind me, loaded up my littles ones and took off to this gorgeous Kansas view. Within a couple minutes of being in the hayfield, dogs began to bark and the home owner came out. BUSTED! I graciously yelled across the field to this elderly woman that I had to stop and take a picture of her beautiful land. She stated, "Why, thankyou." The kids petted the dogs, we loaded back up and I have only a few pictures to show for it. Oh well. I think I need to befriend some people with beautiful land.

He has a special way of warming my heart. He is such a gentle spirit, full of laughter.
I had the privilege of taking some pictures of this little princess. She has three older brothers who absolutely adore her! Who wouldn't; she is pure sweetness. 
I have actually been able to spend some time with this princess since her brothers have been taking swimming lessons with my little ones. She is such a cuddler and easily melted into my arms. Loved it!
I just love this picture of my kiddos that I took last summer. It is displayed in our guest bathroom. It reminds to be present with my children and enjoy the moments that I have with them. It was one of those spontaneous shots that I don't think I will ever be able to duplicate.
Plastic storage container + spray hose + water = Summer bliss
