All American Girl

Alyssa will be graduating in a few weeks and has chosen to attend Texas A & M University in the fall.

We had so much fun exploring the old family property

over in Waller County while her dad shared historical

facts as well as funny family stories from his childhood.

She was agreeable to several wardrobe changes . . .

fortunately prom was the previous weekend, so we didn't

have to worry too much about getting her beautiful

prom dress dirty while we traipsed all over the place!

Alyssa pitches for the Bellville High School Softball team, which, by the way, is headed for the playoffs as I write this post.

She has a gorgeous smile and smiled for me non-stop all morning long!

Here she is peeking out from an old abandoned chicken house. Ask her to tell you the story about her great grandpa's "chicken goggles"!

My favorite
"Interesting Fact of the Day", supplied by Alyssa's dad, is that in the picture below, she is standing on top of a large hill on their family property which is the "Highest Point in Waller County".

It was a long morning and she worked really hard

modeling for me (she's a natural) and by the time we finished the sun was up high and that pool was starting to look very inviting!




Alyssa, thank you so much for spending the morning and allowing me to get all these (and lots more) great images

and good luck at A & M!
