It was a gorgeous fall day, and perfect for an out door wedding. Looking back now it seems like forever ago. Dustina and Wyatt were married underneath a tall weeping willow tree, and it couldn’t have been lovelier. Every now and then we book weddings seperately, as was the case with Dustina and Wyatt’s wedding. Will shot their day with our friend Nikki James who is such a talent. We were very fortunate to have her tag along for the day! I loved looking back through the images, and it seemed extra fun because after meeting with Dustina several times it was great to see how everything she dreamed up came together. The reception took place in a nearby barn, the ground covered in saw dust, and a special made dance floor just for them. Dustina is a country girl and her and Wyatt love horses. I was so excited to see how she incorporated little boots into her centerpieces at the reception and little round pieces of wood with table numbers on them. There were so many thought out little details, like an “s” shape in multi-colored rose petals that lined the isle between hay bails used as seating for the guest[my favorite idea!!] The bold orange was a beautiful color for fall, and the mums and white pumpkins took me back to when Will and I were married as we had used similar elements. Dustina was flawless in her gown. I have to admit, I gasped a bit when I saw the first few images of her. Her hair, make-up, veil. Flawless. With all of the details of the day set aside, this is one of the most beautiful inside and out couples I have worked with. I really enjoyed getting to know Dustina over our little get togethers last year, randomly running into her places and their engagement session. We couldn’t have enjoyed things more! Congrats you two, even if it was months ago, it’s so great to know you two are happy and just as crazy about each other now as you were on your wedding day :)
no comments Yes, today is Cinco De Mayo. But beyond that, it is also someone’s birthday. Someone very special to me. She has been by my side through many tears, and many smiles. Championship games, and broken hearts She cheered me on whether I was in right field, or trying to run three miles She sat through my Piano recitals, and brought me chicken noodle soup and John Wayne movies when I when I was sick She taught me how to thrift, and how to find the best deal for my dollar She has been my biggest encourager, my strongest supporter, and she is my best friend. Not only is she the master of card giving, and the best advice giver She raised six children as a stay at home mom She has been loyal and happily married to my dad for over 32 years Watching them together has inspired me to be a better person, and a better spouse She is a sister, a friend, a daughter, an aunt, a grandma and she is my mom Love you Mom, I hope your birthday is full of laughs, and [hopefully] good cheeseburgers and a piñata full of candy at our place tonight :) HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
{This was the most recent picture I could find of our family together, minus my brother who is in FL. This was taken on Easter 2012, and we just stood in front of the kids because we knew we couldn’t or shouldn’t try to compete with their baskets full of candy lol} Here is the recipe I used for the Coconut frosting that I made from scratch…I haven’t used store bought icing in years, and once you’ve had real whipped frosting, or buttercream it’s impossible to go back :) Coconut frosting:
2 cups whipping cream
1/2 cup sifted powdered sugar
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 tsp. coconut extract
[I added additional powdered sugar and an extra tsp. of Coconut extract] :
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until a soft, creamy frosting forms.

no comments If you haven’t noticed, my blog has been down lately. It has been a year of battles. For some reason hackers love me and I have no idea why :) Three kiddos have changed my world in many ways…we enjoy our busy days, and that’s EXACTLY what they are. Busy. We’ve been busy getting to know our sweet little Emmaline, taking trips to the park, painting rocks, and enjoying many other everyday adventures. Being a mom comes first for me, so please don’t mind my recent neglect, you will see more pretty couples and pictures soon :) If you know me, you know I have a slight obsession with Instagram. It allows me to quickly keep track of our busy world, and I love looking back at all of our adventures in one little spot. Here are a few instagram pictures that have documented the past month, hope you enjoy them! no comments It’s here and gone and nearly impossible to believe. My sweet little girl is four. We celebrated with family and friends last night in high fashion at Charles E. Cheese [Or so Will calls it] Annie came home with an overly large Dora balloon, and a sugar high. It was a great time. We couldn’t love you more, Happy birthday Annie Layne!
