a few months back i went to haiti for the first time.  one of the things that jumped out at me right away was just how much of an influence “disney” had there.  mickey was on pretty  much every street and corner and building.  now, i put disney in quotes because i don’t think i saw one official disney product while i was there.  they were all hand painted.  all of them used to attract kids to a school, church, or day care.  have a few disney loving kids back home i tried to snap as many images as i could as our buss flew down the roads.  here are a few that came out in focus.  enjoy.

some of the artist did better than others.  here was a less than stellar mickey.  along with a bit of looney toons cross promotion.

everyone know disney and jesus christ go hand in hand.

it’s heartbreaking to live in a world were there can be such extreme poverty in one city and be able to board a plane, fly 2 hours and be in disney world.  it’s something that our family wrestles with almost on a daily basis.

i don’t know how to end this post.

It took me 2 minutes to decide Grace and Lucas are my new best friends.  This engagement session was just my excuse to hang out with them for 2 hours at the Dallas Arboretum.

I totally love me some Jessica and Austin.  these two had an epic wedding at Bella Sera Ranch in Palestine and I was just giddy that they let me in on all the fun.

Check out all these tiny little details and touches.
Wedding Tip 639: If you are giving your groomsmen a gift….

… make sure they are old enough to use it without cutting themselves.

I LOVE this shot of Jessica screaming at her girls on her way to her First Look.
Keep Austin Weird.

Petal’s Florist did such a great job with all the arrangements.

Lots and lots of dancing and mucis thanks to P3 Pro Sound.

Aggies doin’ what they do.

Here’s my number… so call me maybe.

Thanks again for trusting me with your day.  You two were terrific.

So school is in full swing around or house but it’s not too late to look back on the glory that was the summer of 2012.  Here is a little photo recap of our Summer Adventures.

Ft. Worth Zoo

Camping with friends, baseball game, movie night, and Disney at home. (That’s the kids posing next to the “Tree of Life” in our neighbor’s yard.)

Beach!

Blueberry picking.

Book-a-thon and art day.

Mystery Trip (Moody Gardens) and our lemonade stand.

And, even though it was not a Summer Adventure I figured you wanted to see a few pics from our trip to SeaWorld. (Tip: If you go to SeaWorld the day San Antonio public schools start their first day, you kinda have the whole place to yourself.)

Sara is having the time of her life.  Danielle is screaming on the inside.

And finally one from our 10 year vow renewal.

We didn’t get any pictures of Bubble Camp or Taco night, BUT  you will want to see our family’s entry in the Talent Show.

Thank you to all my awesome couples who pay me money to take pictures with my fancy camera at their fancy wedding.  You guys are the best.
