Family Five Friday | La Kings on The Strand

When we were in Galveston, we saw a brochure that showed an ice cream shop on The Strand. Of course we had to take the kids, and not to mention we love ice cream, so we were excited too! When we went in, it was amazing ~ beyond our expectations. It reminded me of stepping back in time. It was classic. There was a taffy guy making taffy in the back for customers. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get a picture of him, before he left for the day. It would have been great though, it was awesome to watch. Then the way everybody was dressed - their attitudes, even the guy on the stairs managed to put on a smile. Probably didn't know why I was taking pictures of him, but I couldn't pass taking pictures of this memory. We love taking the kids different places, and being able to look back on these images will be just as classic as the time we spent in the place. Can't wait to go back!

Family Five Friday | Training Wheels

I always capture the little things with my kids, I am just really bad about sharing the candid moments with everybody ~ and I am trying to be better about that, so I have started my Family Five on Friday Project. Taking at least 5 minutes a week, to capture the little things. I encourage other momma's and photographers to take just a few minutes a week, to capture the simple things. The playing with siblings with their toys, each other, running, playing, cooking, baking, etc.

This week, my baby son was ready for his training wheels off his bike, but didn't realize the bike wouldn't stay up automatically when raising his feet. He wanted to practice and practice, and big sister was on hand to help out ~ It is a moment that he was trying to gain confidence within himself. A bitter sweet moment for me, because he is growing up so fast.
