Chavvon, you are the best daddy in the world.  I see you inspire our babies to do bigger and better things, and you love them so much.  The kids know how much you love photography, so they pretty much took over this session.  Lasting only 15 minutes was their first rule, (especially since Brice can&#8217;t stand the sun in his eyes), and they had to get one in their sunglasses.  So cute.</p><p>You know, in a way, I am thankful that it is so normal for you to be such a great husband and father that we CAN take it for granted.  It is not a &#8220;once in a while&#8221; thing for you to make us all laugh, be encouraging, or surprise us with bringing home cupcakes.  :)  You always show us how much you love us.  For that, I am the luckiest woman in the world.  God must really love me to bless me with someone like you.</p><p>Happy Father&#8217;s Day Chavvon, we love you!!</p><p><a

/> <em> Quite a few years ago, Chavvon went and bought a very expensive camera and lens, and I remember how irritated I was! Yeah, I don&#8217;t know if I will ever be able to live that one down!!  Ha Ha!  I remember him stating his case on how he really wanted to capture those cute images of our kiddos, capturing expressions, moments, and memories.  They truly inspired him to tap into a creative side that was hidden.  After seeing his pictures, I was really impressed, but also wanted to learn about it myself!  To our surprise, others were impressed also, and people began asking &#8220;How much do you charge?&#8221;  What a blessing!  This hobby that we loved to do on the side was something people would pay us to do.  Wow, that is all I can say, what a blessing.</em></p><p>This post is just a little tribute to the casual family photography that we love, of the kids we love, and doing what we love the most&#8230;. just playing with our babies!!!  Thankfully, because of them and our desire to remember their lives, we get to do what we really enjoy!</p><p>Every year we make and decorate Valentines Day cookies!  Yummmm!!  This is really fun and really messy!!  Here is a glimpse into our home.</p><p><em>First you must make and decorate the cookies&#8230; We always buy extra cookie dough, it seems to disappear for some reason!!  ;)</em><br
