2008 Holiday Card Designs are Here!

I know... it's crazy. Posting my 2008 holiday season card designs before I even take my official summer vacation! But you know how the saying goes - "It will be here before you know it!" And.. yes it's true, I've even had requests for holiday cards already this year! See people really DO plan ahead... not me... but some people. LOL

These cards are available to anyone that has had or will have a 2008 portrait session with Becky Edwards Photography!

Now the only question that remains is what will MY holiday card be like this year! No worries! I've already got it all planned out! If you aren't familiar with my extra fun holiday cards, you'd better get on my mailing list!

Now booking family beach sessions

You might see something very similar to this in your mailbox soon! But since I'm a little bit behind in getting them out, I just wanted to let you know, now is the time to call and book your family beach session.

No traveling required... these are done just 10 minutes West of Omaha!

Monday through Wednesday evenings only now through Oct 10th. All beach sessions are scheduled about 1 1/2 hours before sunset. Availability for beach sessions is limited.

Just catchin' my breath!

Wow, where did July go? All I know is I feel like I've been running and running and running, always out the door. I guess there are a few days left, huh?




Let's see here, the weekend after we saw the Olympic Trials (which sadly was my last blog post...) Jill's softball team played AND WON the 10 & U state championship! Woo!

(here are the winners, complete with their trophy and some VERY cool black eye stuff - Jill is 4th from the left in the backrow)


Then of course after I won the state championship.. I mean we won... oh... I mean THEY won, we had to endure countless celebrations! I believe we are officially up to three championship parties now, with at least one more in the works. LOL But hey, what fun is winning if you can't celebrate it! All I know is it may be just as fun to have your daughter win something big than it is to win it yourself. I'm definitely not too proud to ride her coattails from time to time.

So that's what' we've been up to these last 2 weeks. Sorry for the lack of blogging, but really... how can I be expected to blog when I'm out celebrating. :)

School starts back up in 25 days and we still have two vacations to take. Nothing like packing a summer full of fun!

Go U.S.A.!

I'm a big fan of the Olympics. Always have been, probably always will be. I just love it, love the passion the athletes have, love thinking about how they probably "came up through the ranks" to shine as a super athlete. I love their life stories, some of them normal some of them truly inspiring (Like Bode Miller - skier to name just one). I can remember clearly in 1996 when Kerri Strug landed on her broken ankle to win the event - what a moment! I was sitting in my sparsly furnished 1 bedroom apartment, glued to the tv that night. And as we sat and watch a sport I've never actually witnessed in person last week, I found myself crying more than once at what an accomplishment winning a spot on the team must have been for some of these people and their families. And now that I'm a little older with kids of my own, I can only imagine the pride a parent must feel when their child takes the medal stand.

All of these pictures were taken with a little point and shoot camera, so far from even good quality. LOL We were four rows from the water and really close to the medal stand. The pictures are terribly dark and grainy and with a p&s zoom this was as much detail as I could get. Kind of disappointing to me, but it's better than nothing. And Jill's already inspired to make several scrapbook pages out of the event. LOL

Tu-tu cute!

Is there really anything sweeter than a baby girl in a big fluffy pink tu-tu? I don't think so!

Pretty.


Pensive...


Enjoy your sneak peek!
