I Love This Man!

NINE years ago today, I married the greatest man alive. He is my best friend!!! We met while we were at a missions school in Colorado. We have had a typical marriage with many ups and downs but despite it all we have remained close to the Lord and He is the ONLY thing that has held our family together. Marc is the funniest man alive. He makes me laugh until I hurt. I wish people could be a fly on our walls sometimes. We don’t have a perfect marriage and we are still learning so many things about each other but I am so thankful that the Lord allowed me to meet such a wonderful man. He is faithful, hardworking, loving, and talented. He rarely complains (unless he is totally out of underwear or something-I will never win a gold star for laundry), he loves to be with our children, he has a passion for the things of the Lord and leads our family to follow Him, he is a gift to me and to all who meet him. I will forever love you and can’t wait to go to ITALY next year for our 10th Anniversary. Hee Hee…..I keep throwing that gift idea around whenever I can. I thought this post was as good a time as any. I may be a photographer but we don’t have ANY “real” pics together so this is the best I had. I know, I know…we will get some one day!!!

Daddy, Mommy, and Dallen- 9 months

I have to say that I love love love this family and this sweet little boy. He is apart of our Baby Story so we have watched him grow from newborn sweetness to a 9 month old grinning munchkin. He is PRECIOUS!!! His mom always has some fun ideas up her sleeve and this shoot was NO exception. She showed up with a homemade fishing pole and the cutest little overalls you have ever seen. One of these days when we are done shooting, I am going to pick him up and put him in my pocket. He is so cute it hurts!!! Thank you Milfords for being such a great family. We have so much fun with you guys.

The super fun Jackson family

I can’t even begin to express to you how wonderful this family is. Rachel (the mom) has been one of the most supportive clients we have ever had. She has three beautiful kiddos and trust me, they keep her on her toes. Her hubby works overseas and only gets to come home a few times a month so she truly is the definition of a “super mom”. She wanted to do a family session while he was in town this time and the kids were crazy happy to have him home. They have an incredible story and they have tons of fun together.

Daddy= human jungle gym!

Check out little Rosie working hard on mommy’s hair- I LOVE IT!!!

Windmills News Flash

So…blogging for us is clearly one of our BIGGEST weaknesses. Since we haven’t posted anything since spring, I thought I would give you a Windmills News Flash to catch you up on all that we have been doing. It has been quite a busy summer.

*All 7 kids have been at home with us EVERY day ALL day since school got out. (enough said for the lack of posts)

*I (Brooke) am expecting our third child! My hubby and I are really excited to be adding a boy to our mix. We have WAY too many girl emotions running around our house right now so the change will be fun. I am convinced that my hubby is trying to figure out a way to get a football in my tummy so that by the time Maddox comes out he will be able to throw for 700 yards and lead his team (The Broncos-of course) all the way to the Super Bowl. Maddox Maddox he’s our man, if he can’t do it nobody can!!! Oops, the inner cheerleader in me came out.

*Amy has been busy picking up my slack due to morning sickness and hormones, (what in the world would I do without you???) going to the beach with the family, running a drama camp at school with her super talented hubby, planting yummy veggies in the garden at her grandparents farm, (I have yet to get the first tomato. Does she not know that holding food from a preggo woman is a huge No-No), running VBS at her church, and the list goes on and on. I don’t know how she does it all, but I am starting to think that she has a wonder woman suit under her clothes. That is the only way she could do all that she does. I am hoping one day she will let me in on her secret.

*One night while I was on the phone with a client my sweet little Ava came screaming down the hall holding her arm. While trying to calm her down, I realized that her arm was bent in half and her bones were all but sticking out of her skin. I am not even sure what I said to the lady on the phone but I am sure it had nothing to do with packages or session styles. We rushed her to the ER and she had broken both of the bones in her arm and would now be in a cast for 8 weeks. So long summer!!! Getting everyone to the pool in one piece takes a miracle normally so add having to cover a 3 year olds cast in a bag without cutting the circulation off of her arm and one really doesn’t want to go swimming so much anymore. She will finally get her cast off on Aug. 5th and we are leaving for the beach the next day. I am about to die to get in the sun.

*We have been so blessed by all of the work we have had this summer. We have had some great shoots with some great families and are so excited about the rest of the year. We have so many things planned and can’t wait to share some of our ideas with you. Once these wonderful but crazy kids all get back in school and we begin to feel like normal women who have brains again then you better hold on to your hats because we are ready to conquer the world. For now, I will leave you with a picture of my 4 month preggo belly.
