vacation 2010

This year we all rounded up to around Asheville, NC for some family fun in the mountains! 

We rented a cabin - where we crocheted, read, hiked, crossword puzzled and built fires to our hearts content! 

It was just lovely! 

We obviously are a picture taking bunch...Say cheese!

We went waterfall scouting and after hiking for 2 miles (for the second year in a row), we realized that it was a ROCK fall. Where, literally, rocks had fallen from the cliffside. Not finding waterfalls has hysterically become a Reid family tradition! But to make up for it, we stopped at a roadside lookout for this beautiful waterfall....it made up for it.. :)

Grandma did crossword puzzles almost the entire time we were there - stayed up wayyyy past her bedtime looking for those pesky words...

You may remember Grandma's sledding adventures here! Isn't she just the cutest thing? 

I still believe that one of the best parts of being married is inheriting the family :).

current obsessions 2.0

1. ReadyMade Magazine - An incredible source for DIY furniture upgrades and crafty what-nots! I love when this magazine comes in stock at our local Borders!

2. Ipod Touch - If you know D and I, you know that we are Mac obsessed as of late. I'm sooooo wanting the Ipod touch - I already have a list of all the apps I would get if I could get one today! :) Pitiful really...

3. Etsy: The Twitterpated Toad - I'm in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this print - and I believe that I will have to buy it before the year is out...I'm a sucker for a good print!

4. One Day by David Nicholls - One of the best books I've ever read. It's a beautiful love story but be prepared - it's a tear jerker...

5. Hulu - So this is pretty much the only way I ever watch TV anymore...It's my favorite shows on my own time schedule - perfect huh? It's like DVR except I don't have to pay for it every month - genius no? :)

6. (My Favorite) Pinterest - If you haven't seen this yet, please by all means - go! NOW!  - It's an online pin board where you can favorite anything from the internet. Like wedding details, and bedroom sets, and gift ideas. It's not available to the public yet to create your own, but I can tell already its gonna be AMAZING!!!

7. Letterpress cards, like this hilarious one, are kind of an addiction of mine - I just think the simplicity is so lovely! And bonus, it's available on one of my favorite sites - Etsy.com!

8. Fossil  is apparently not just watches and purses anymore - they have a new interactive site that boasts creative outlets and great blogs! Just run your mouse over the page to see "What We Are Into"!

9. Another lovely art print that I can't seem to take my eyes off these days, "I will love you forever" - don't you think that would look amazing on my art wall? Someone mention that to Daryl when I'm not around :)...

10. And finally, my love - Pandora. Internet radio at its finest! I love that I can type in my favorite artists and find new music/artists that are similar to what I already like without having to peruse itunes for hours looking for new music...AND IT'S FREE! Bonus!

mollie + lan - engaged!

Mollie and Lan came down last weekend from the grand ole city of Meter, GA to have their engagement session with us - and we had a great time running around with them! Despite parades, and traffic, and the  storm that loomed over us through the whole session, we are so happy with the results! Enjoy a sneak peek of their love... :)

Aren't they a cute couple?

Those eyes will be breathtaking! Gorgeous!

One of my favorites...

I love it when couples can have fun together :) - I couldn't resist sharing this one!

Can't wait to shoot their wedding next year!! :)

Ana Sofi has arrived!

Just two short weeks ago, Ana Sofia was here...

And now, she's a happy, healthy, beautiful baby girl...isn't she crazy alert here for a 10 day old??!!

Baby feet get me every time...

I believe these are the sweetest images I've ever taken...I just want to eat her up...so beautiful and smuuuuishy... :)

those eyes lashes are no joke either...she's gonna be thankful for inheriting those one day :)

We are so excited for Ana + Shea to be welcoming this little girl into their lives! She's amazing...trust me...I know - I've baby gazed at her and so has Daryl! :)

This little family brought us out to the family farm for a quick session and we had a blast! We ran around with the dogs, calves, and horses for a few fun shots! Here are a few of my favorites of little Tillman from that afternoon! Isn't he the cutest? :)

"The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life...coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending..."

Meet Lesa + Raven + Aaron. 

When asked to stand closer to his sister, I believe that "ewww" still came out of Aaron's mouth. There's nothing like that brother-sister relationship! :)

RAVEN! You are gorgeous!

Couldn't hardly believe it - but a REAL smile from Aaron! And I didn't even have to do a silly dance to get it either - Daryl just kept calling him Eric and it got funnier every time! :)

and Mom, looking as lovely as ever! :)

and if they ever decided to start a band - here's their first album cover :)

We just loved this little family!

"Sisters annoy, interfere, criticize. Indulge in monumental sulks, in huffs, in snide remarks. Borrow. Break. Monopolize the bathroom. Are always underfoot. But if catastrophe should strike, sisters are there. Defending you against all comers." - Pam Brown.

LOVE this one...Sisters know just what to say to make you die laughing....
