I have recently been more proactive taking pictures of everything I do or am a part of. I think I am driving my family and friends crazy. As I age I am more aware of how fast life goes, the things I think I remember fade, and somethings I only remember after being reminded. A few months ago I saw some photos that a very talented young lady, Emily Walton, took. They were wonderful, and made me cry. Every since I have been trying to get pictures with my parents and my grandkids. These are some of most special people in my life. My parents, who had to go through the challenge of raising me and loving me inspite of the problems and worry I caused and my grandkids, who give me hope that even though I wasn't a good parent, their parents are wonderful. I wish I could have been more like my mom and dad or even more like my daughters. They are AWESOME.

Wiley loves tractors, makes Grandpa proud and provides enjoyment for all the kids

My wonderful and loving Dad...love you more than I could very show you dad.

My wonderful and caring mom, with my wonderful and caring daughter, Ruby.

Wiley and 'the tractor' he loves any and all tractors

Em with little brother, Maddox.

We took most of the pictures at my grandpa Stembridge's. So this would great-great grandpa for my grandkids. There is the most amazing barn......the kids LOVED IT

Riding in the back of Great grandpa's Rhino, they had a blast

The 'other side of the camera' was fun to watch, the moms tried really hard to get their kids to smile or sit still.

Isn't this one of the cutest pictures you ever saw???!?

Emily was great with the little ones and the big ones.
Thanks Emily.......
All of these are pictures I took while Emily was busy creating her magic. I see the pictures she took and am so glad she has the remarkable talent to capture the spirit in her pictures. I will treasure the day's memories forever. Thanks Emily.........you create magic and precious memories.
I wish I could capture just half of what Emily can capture. She is amazing and these kiddos will treasure these pictures forever... It really is scary how fast things can change and they won't have these amazing people in their lives. Thank heavens for photos to remind us how loved we are. I am so glad you had this done but you need to get some with you and YOUR kids as well... I rarely see any of you and they need to remember you were there as well, even though you are always behind the camera! Love Ya!!!
