Fourth of July :: Summer 2016

Our tradition of taking the boys photos on the tree lined driveway at Ryan's Grandmothers home was completed again this year. I am so thankful that we have a beautiful place to capture these moments.

As I was editing them late the other night, I had a moment of ... wow, the boys look like this?  When you see them every moment of every day, you don't notice the small changes.  I can't believe how grown up they are getting.  These strong, loving, and caring boys are growing up before my eyes, and I am so proud of the young men they are becoming.

Breaden has begun to love photography, the first two photos are ones that he took himself ... not too bad!

Christmas Morning 2015

There is always something so magical about Christmas Morning.  I love these two more than anything in the world, and I love to see their faces light up when they start opening all the gifts from Santa.  

Merry Christmas Morning - Great Grandma's House

The Pampered Mom's 2015 Christmas Tree & Table

It may only be the day after Thanksgiving, but that tree is UP!  I couldn't wait any longer.  Seriously, I was getting stir crazy just thinking about it.  In our neighborhood, lots of houses already had their Christmas Exterior Lights up and for me, I'm a strict believer that lights and décor should only be turned on and set out after Thanksgiving.  So just looking out the window was hard ... they are SO pretty!

It wasn't hard though, it's been rainy here and because we're house bound from the storms, I thought .. why not?!  Christmas music was on, kids were dancing, crockpot hot chocolate was passed around and the house started to smell like fraser firs.  Not from our tree, just from my favorite candles!  This is the first year we opted for an artificial tree.  I love the real deal, but with traveling, and work, I didn't want the fuss or the worry of a real tree.  I'll have to pick up some real wreaths just for the smell alone though!  I actually love this artificial tree. It's super easy, no fuss and full.  Here's to another amazing Christmas Season with our family, loved ones and friends!

Texas Tulip Farm 2015

** Post Warning :: WAYY too many photos **

 

We found a little gem in North Texas today ...and when we say "little gem," we mean the Jewel of Spring!  We are so lucky there is a brand new Tulip Farm just North of Frisco.  This is the first year of Texas Tulips in Pilot Point, TX, but today, it became a Springtime Tradition for the Imhoff Family.

 

Rows and rows of Tulips in all different colors lined the country side, it was one of the most beautiful sights I have seen since moving here in August.  Open from February to April, this farm allows you to "pick your own" flowers and every possible photo opportunity for families and children of all ages.  You'll notice I had a hard time choosing just a few :)

 

It was pefect for us to snap a few [ahem] a LOT of photos just in time for Easter.  We also picked quite a few tulips for the kids teachers and our own Easter Table for brunch.

 

If you're in North Texas during the months of Feb - April, you'll need to make sure Texas Tulips is a stop you make!  You won't regret it and we're already looking forward to next year!

 

Happy Easter!
