Malone

The bad part about this photo session is the reminder of how old I'm getting.  I've known this young man since the days of Maloney Baloney and even before then, which doesn't say much to some, but to me, it screams of the MANY years that have gone by.  To be able to watch a child grow into an adult is remarkable, and I've had the unique opportunity to watch this guy turn into a charismatic, witty young man.  I know his mother and father are very proud of the man he is becoming.  :)

I've witnessed Malone being a sneaky instigator, a prankster, a protective big brother, a supportive teammate, a resourceful student, and a leader among his peers.  Also, I didn't realize just how funny he is until I had him in my class.  Ultimately, I'm lucky to have had the opportunity to see Malone's transformation over the years, to learn who he really is and what he is capable of.  And while most other seniors are excited about getting the next phase of their lives started as soon as possible, Malone is not ready to move forward just yet.  So, hopefully, since he isn't in too big of a hurry, his senior year will be the best and most memorable yet.  

Malone is a member of the golf and basketball teams.  He has had the privilege of being a part of our successful, state basketball team this past year, and I know fans like me are expecting more of the same this season.  No pressure, Malone!  With that said, good luck to him this year.  I hope he is as successful in the classroom as he will be on the gym floor.  

Just another clue as to how I feel about Malone…I wouldn't let just anybody point a gun straight at me, loaded or not.

Ice Pops, Splash Pads, and Creeks

I've not posted in a few days, but that doesn't mean I haven't been shooting.  I'm trying to make a habit of photographing some moment every day, no matter how seemingly insignificant.  Sometimes I don't get much, but sometimes I do.   Izzy has a neighbor friend that she plays with often, and it seems like every time they play, they eat.  This particular day brought them ice pops and confetti cake.  These two love to play together and the boy has never met a stranger.  He cracks me up with his "Hey!" whenever we see him.  He makes himself at home well, too.  Such a fun kid.   Next, we had another play date with Lexie!  At another splash pad!  We have a few more to visit before we can say we've conquered them all in our area.  This one was at Steele Creek Park in Bristol.  While I like Bristol, and I like Steele Creek Park, I prefer Rotary Park in Johnson City.  Plus, there is a drainage problem here, so o

Splash Pad!

Play date number 2 is in the books!  Two play dates within one week!  Ashley, we're killing it!  :)   We met up at Rotary Park in Johnson City to have fun at the new splash pad.  When we drove up, I was a little worried about the crowd because the parking lot was -FULL- but it wasn't that bad.  We just plopped our bags and towels down in the pretty astroturf and got to playing.  It was a beautiful, hot day, so the water was a great idea.  Except I had to remind myself that I had a camera in my hands!  I found myself fascinated with the motion of the water, so I tried to get in as close as I could to capture the movement.  I was also happy to see how blissfully happy the girls were while playing.  Izzy completely let loose as soon as we arrived.  I love that this girl can have so much fun no matter what we do.  Cousin Hazen joined us, but I don't know that she had as much fun as Izzy and Lexie.  She did, however, introduce the girls to different types of fidget spinners

Muddy Puddles

Izzy loves Peppa Pig, and if you've seen the show, you know about muddy puddles.  Today was our day to play like Peppa, George, and all her friends.  Thanks to my good friend Jessie, I had a little nudge of inspiration with a pin from Pinterest, and I figured we might as well have a little fun in the rain today instead of staying cooped up inside.  I was going to hold off on posting these, but I just can't wait.    I love my girl, her smile, her personality, her fearlessness, her strong will, and her playfulness.  I hope she always stays the same!
