Family

I can't say how blessed I feel to have such a beautiful family! I was thinking about what was it that made us finally decide its time to have kids, and it was the passing of my grandpa in March of 2007. As we gathered around his bedside in his final days that came to quickly, I was amazed to see how each of us loved him but in our own ways! A few days after the funeral I looked at John and told him how much I loved him and that I was ready to start having kids and he agreed with him! I was in a way shocked that he was ready as well, but so blessed to begin that new chapter in our lives. Well since 2007, we have been blessed with a son, John Paul Reyes IV and a daughter Corley Madyson Reyes. I could not have asked for better children and they are the light of my life now! I love to watch them grow and do new task each day. JP amazes me with what he comes up with and I sometimes just have to laugh inside. Corley, I just love watching her walk with a huge smile on her face! So reminds me so much of me it is scary. (I know my mom and my sister would agree).

The following photos were taken by Regina Penney, she is a friend from high school that I was able to catch up with at a Tech football game and learned what she was now doing and I am so happy that she has found a great talent that the Lord blessed her with! Check out her site, www.penneyphotography.net! These pictures were taken at an old church off Fairgrounds Road in Midland and I just love them! I hope you enjoy them as much as we have!

As I was driving to ensure that I knew where this location was, I noticed that there was a dirt road and that if the timing worked that it would be a great spot to take a family shot, because we could get the Tall City in the background! You can't see it as well, but I know its back there. I have always liked the view of the Tall City as I was returning from trips for Lubbock and Dallas, it always meant home was so much closer!

This is my favorite shot because you see the Tall City in the background and its just so us!
