The word is Hurler

That is a new word for the day.

Thank you for the afternoon!!!

Thank you for a wonderful afternon!!!! You are a natural in front of the camera, and it is obvious that the camera LOVED you!!!!

Easter is almost here!!!

I have some openings still for Easter photos! Email today and set up your spring photos. I am also booking for Mother's Day photos.

Thought I would also share one of my favorite layouts. You can see this one in March's CK issue. With warmth in the air, it makes walking even better!!!!

Let it Snow!

Well if you drive 2 hours to a sledding park in Flagstaff!!! We took a youth group trip up on Monday. For some of the young men and young women that went on this outing this was their first REAL experience of snow!!! I have just a few photos to post, and they are not the perfect shots, I was slipping and sliding on ice with tubes and sleds headed right for me.

These are for you Tracy!!!!   

Ready for another?

OK this one is going to get long!! This is Teresa's new die cut paper. SHe has released it in every collection, this one is Bella Girl. You can see them at teresacollinsdesigns. It has been wonderful to help out a friend, not to mention play with all of the goodies!!! So here is the album!

 

A sneek peek!!

A sneek peek of some new papers and a sneek into my emotional ride of letting go. A day of holding on.

I was lucky enough to work with Teresa Collins new papers. She has 4 great lines releasing at CHA. You can look here teresacollinsdesigns.

As I looked at the waves and the calm blues I was reminded of how when I sit at the beach I get into deep thought, and today that feeling brought me thinking about my baby going to school next year. I will admit I am the mom that will be holding on tight and when he walks into that room I will BAWL like a baby! I have never had more one on one time with any of the other children like I have with

Tyler

. It was hard enough letting each of the others go to school, but I am finding myself crying already thinking about it 6 months from now. So I decided to document my feelings on this layout. I am saying “Wish you were here” and he is saying “The Great Escape” HA!! We all joke about it in our family and I get made fun of, but hey when it’s the last one to leave, it is emotional. I know I am pretty sappy!!

One AMAZING child!!!!

I tell you I am beyond blessed to have the children that I do!!! Taylor decided to enter a writing contest (she has won a few in the past). We have been trying to get healthy as a family, and this is the 200 word or less essay that she wrote.....in like an hour!!!!!! I sat here as she did it. Straight from her brain! I guess all of the health lessons I have been giving have sunk in?!?!?!?!?!?

--------The rush of pride as you climb the last few paces of Mount Everest and gaze into the beauty it beholds. The sense of accomplishment you feel as you cross the finish line, sweat trickling down your face, leader of the pack. I want to be able to acknowledge myself as doing just that one day. To lead the life I dream of. Don’t you? In order to achieve that, however, we must first live the lifestyle

      The lifestyle I’m referring to is a healthy lifestyle consisting of exercise, a well balanced diet, the appropriate amount of sleep, and most importantly, the mind set. Having a high self-confidence level is germane. Your assurance in yourself is part of what drives you forward during the hurricane until you reach the eye of the storm.

      Exercise is also a crucial aspect of a healthy lifestyle. Getting active gives you the steam you need to fulfill the many activities throughout your day, as well as getting you a step closer to mastering Everest. Receiving the correct amount of sleep for your age is vital to your health. Sleeping gives your body a chance to repair itself so that our bodies can successfully withstand whatever is thrown our way.

      Along with your mind set, exercise routine, and sleep schedule, you also should have a well-balanced diet. Eating right and becoming conscious about what you’re eating helps to improve your sense of how what you eat affects your body. Everyone needs to learn to love the skin they’re in, though there’s always room for improvement. That improvement is what is going to take you to the top of Mount Everest; to the end of the finish line. We all want to enjoy life to its fullest and a healthy lifestyle will unmistakably guide us there.-------
