the hakes family

this mom and dad deserve a foot rub every night.

all three of these beautiful kids were born in 21 months!

we ate lots of marshmallows and i did all sorts of ridiculous

behind the camera to get them all to look at me.

but it didn't take long and i had one of them holding my hand

as we raced down the sidewalk. man i love my job. :)

so jealous.. i have always wanted a twin brother.

fav.

love her.

hot mama.

friday freebie: be strong quote

i am a teacher for the young women in my church ages 14-15.

i seriously love these girls and have an ache and burning in my heart that

they won't ever sell themselves short in their big and beautiful lives.

i tried to make this handout nice in hopes

that they would look at it more than once. :)

click on the photo above and then click

it is a 5x7 file size with .25 extra for bleeds.

(bleeds are so you can cut into the image slightly

so you wont have a white border around the edge)

feel free to use for personal use only

and please send people to my blog if

they want it as well.

thanks!
