A Big Weekend...

This weekend was the big Brown/Beale wedding... Brittany, the bride, has been one of my best friends since high school. I thank God for her and for her friendship and I was honored to stand with her on her wedding day.

Friday night was the rehearsal and the rehearsal dinner...

Here is the beautiful couple on the night before their wedding.

...and here is me and the love of my life at J Edwards for the rehearsal dinner...

This is Brittany and her Daddy...

Getting ready to leave for the rehearsal...

Me, Katy and Britt. I don't know what I'd do without these two girls.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Saturday was the big day...

...and Brittany was beautiful.

Of course she's always beautiful, but Saturday she was even more beautiful than normal...

See.

The groom was handsome, too.

And put together, they were as pretty as a picture.

I love these girls. Have I mentioned that?

and I love this picture. This is Britt and Sam's nephew Issac and niece Isabella... They were way too cute.

Love YOU Britt... you were a beautiful bride and I'm proud to call YOU my friend.

The Beginning...

Justin and Kendra fell in love on their first date- May 13, 2005. Five months later he put a ring on her finger and asked her to be his wife. On May 20, 2006 they stood before their family and friends and said "I do," and God placed a blessing on their new lives together. Anniversary number one brought a big surprise and on February 24, 2008- Jaxon Thorpe Mason graced us with his amazing presence and we became a family. Almost three years later, God blessed us with our second son, Knox Holmes Mason, and we are more in love with Him, with each other and with our kiddos than we thought we could ever be...

The Daddy

Oh, him? Justin is not only the best Daddy in the world, but he's also the guy that holds the key to my heart. He loves me like no one has ever loved me, and like no one else will ever love me. Even though we drive each other crazy sometimes, we both know we're soul mates. Our love is real and we thank God for it. Justin is an amazing man of God, and the thing that I love most about him is the fact that he's real. His "boyish good looks" first caught my eye, but his love for the Lord won my heart. Well, that and his gorgeous smile!

The Mommy

If there's one thing I can do, it's love. And I do that as passionately and as crazy as I can. I view much of life through my camera lens, and I love being "just a stay-at home" mom and I'm thankful for my daily experiences with Jaxon and Knox. Every night, I look at my beautiful little boys and thank God for letting me be exhausted at the end of the day. Not only am I crazy in love with my sons, but I love my goofy husband so much that some days I feel like my heart will bust. I am loved by my Jesus, and every day with Him is sweeter than the day before. I thank Him every day for choosing me to be the love of Justin's life and the Mommy to sweet Jaxon and baby Knox.

The Big Brother Superhero.

Our boys are our life- and we are so thankful for our oldest son, Jaxon. He's one of the reasons that we wake up every day. He has shown us what really matters in life. He has an amazing personality and is one of the funniest little people that I have ever met. I'm not just saying that because I'm his mom. The boy REALLY IS FUNNY! He keeps us laughing. At five, he enjoys playing anything involving a ball, music, Spiderman & Batman and hanging out with his Baby Brother. He's hilarious, stubborn and loved beyond measure. He's my strength and our joy. Words can't express how proud we are of this big boy! His name means "God has been gracious," and God most certainly has!

The Little Brother Superhero.

We never knew how much love our hearts could actually hold, until we welcomed our second son into this world. Knox doubled the size of our hearts and made our lives so much brighter. He has the most beautiful big, brown eyes, and a smile that starts a chain reaction, because when you see it, you can't help but smile yourself. The child has a laugh that could melt the coldest of hearts. His big brother is crazy about him, and so are his Mommy and Daddy. He's never still, no not for a second. He loves to eat. He loves shoes. He loves Mickey Mouse, Toy Story & Cars, but he loves his Big Brother the most. Sweet baby Knox is our precious gift from God.
