IVY + EVAN : SIBLINGS

A while back, I received a super exciting text from my friend, Brenda, asking if I was available to take photos of her sweet kiddos in the bluebonnets THE NEXT DAY!!! Luckily, I keep my weekends pretty mellow so of course I was available! I was so nervous going into the session because Brenda is also a super talented photographer! Thankfully, she was so laid back and her and her husband, Ivan, really helped wrangle up the two squirmy cuties! Although the weather was bipolar, we managed to get some super cute photos in between the rain storms! Evan and Ivy were a delight and being incredibly adorable didn't hurt the cuteness factor AT ALL! Enjoy!!

 

HAPPY 9TH BIRTHDAY, JORDAN!

Jordan, you were my first nephew ever so I feel a special bond with you. You were the first child in my life that I truly loved as my own. You are a bright, hilarious, inquisitive ball of energy. Every day I am astounded at your growth in knowledge and abilities. Today, on your 9th birthday, I want you to know that I am so proud of you! I pray that you will always seek more knowledge. I pray that you will learn to be kind and compassionate toward others every day of your life. I pray that you always hold Christ deep in your heart and allow him to shine through you. I pray success and happiness over you. I know there are marvelous things to look forward to in your future and I pray that you never stop trying and working toward them. You are a wonderful young man and you are truly loved. Thank you for being so much fun and I pray that each birthday is better than the last. Tia Marivelle loves you, Jordy!

HAPPY 8TH BIRTHDAY, JOSHUA!

Joshua, today you turn 8 years old and I am in total disbelief. I remember the day you were born and how I held you in my arms and now you've grown into a wonderful young man. Joshua, I want you to know that I love you too much. I am so proud of the kind, loving, gentle, smart young man that you have become. You are incredible and you are destined for greatness. I know that you will grow up to be a big success. I pray that you will always know just how special a kid you are. I pray that you will always know that there is so much love around you. I pray that you will always see the good in others and the bright side of every situation. I pray that you will never allow anything to bring you down or keep you from knowing just how wonderful you are. And most of all, I pray that you will always allow Christ's light to shine through you. I know most of this means nothing to you right now, but I hope that one day, when I am an old lady, you will find this blog, learn a little more about your Tia Marivelle, and choose not to put me in that nursing home! ;) I love you so much, buddy. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOSHUA!!
