Sometimes the important things in life aren't things.....

 Those that make an important part of my life and the foundation of who we are. Those who make the moments matter. Family.

 Big sister C and little brother C are a sweet example of love, look at the love and the smiles. Love is what holds us all together when life throws us a curve.

 The bond between sisters in powerful and these two are the perfect example. Even states can't keep them apart. Their love is phone calls, text messages, and a constant effort to be there for each other.

 This little K is just darn cute. I couldn't help but love this picture as he played peek a boo with me through the tree! Miss him!

 Oh and sweet Grams, she is 92 and these girls and their cousins love their Great Grandma Rose! She is loved.  Without her and my Gramps (gone but never forgotten) none of us would be possible.

 One set of the several sets of twins that grace our family. These two boys are awesome and I really enjoy my time with them and wish I could take more pictures of them and all their sports!! Keep it up guys, love you!

 Well. This is what is important. Family. We all have our own ways, we all have our goals, dreams, challenges and comprimises. Eternity is what keeps me focased!

 Thanks to my Mom and Dad who love us and guide us, who have given us the tools to be who we are. We were given the best tools to guide us. Honesty, Truth, Faith, Compassion, Kindness and Service. We were taught to have humility and be generous and I hope to be that example to my girls.

 K man is taking a break from the music, he is such a happy little guy.

 I know this isn't the best shot but here is another set of twins, our "princess" girls. They are so full of energy and it is fun to watch them.

Well good night (ha, tricked you) this is our last half of the last set of twims he sleeps on demand! Lol! (Hint his twin is the C and C up above)

California Girl

   Time flies by, it seems yesterday we were taking pictures of this little lady digging sand castles and now she is in college. How time runs away! We cherish every moment  of her life. She is through and through a true California girl....loves the ocean and missed so much in the desert.

This is the "Lebron" something to do with a basketball player? Not so much a basketball player but apparently these two love their sports and season tickets.

 One year ago these two decided to go on a date....

 and today they are still dating, of course we planned this "courtship" years ago.....

and of course she loves that he spoils her and treats her like the "princess" that she is.

See you next week doll face!

Baseball Game........(a little late posting this is from May 21)

For me all American is Baseball. I love the action and opportunity to take some great photos!

When these kids get up to play the field, they really play hard. There is a huge amount of effort and dedication put into each play they make. The love of baseball to stay focused is aswesome!

This was an excellent play. I loved catching it on camera!

When you actually see the ball in play behind the lense and wonder where it is headed is a thrill to be part of and to know how the play turns out later, even better!

Can't always make the play for your team however this was an excellent play made on both teams.....the anticipation of the out and the attempt to make it to home.

As you notice the outfielder....well! He make a spectacular catch and to keep it safe it rolled with him. Great play.

Graduation 2011

Graduation is such an exciting time for those who have made the effort to do well and work hard in school to be the example for those to follow...For us it was a joy to share in this special day for Kyle and with this family who is special to us. We are so proud of you Kyle and Keri thank you for asking me to do your pictures.                                                                                                                    

 As he prepares to take on the next adventures in life, we are grateful to know such a fine young man!

Class of 2011 Way to go Kyle!

There is something so special about the bond a Mother and her Son hold.....

With a little family get together afterwards,....(YUM on the new recipe we acquired for pulled pork) it was a beautiful way to end the day. What a great job you did as setting the example for your brother's Kyle. You have left big shoes (literally) to fill. Love you, kid!

Another special couple who were here to share in the festivities, Liz and Daren.

This family is solid! They have a strong bond of love, Faith and friendship. THIS is an example of a kind family who has real emotions, feeling, and really cares for each other and those around them.

Our camping trips will be missing Kyle in the future as he heads of to school, we will miss him as well as his goldmining, quadding, camping, hunting and climbing buddy!

                  Graduation is never complete without the Grandparents.

The day is all yours. You have earned it, we are proud of you! You will continue to make us all proud. Go get em Kyle! Let all your dedication get you where you want to go.

Family ties are what make us and bind us tighter and stronger, hold on to what you have and know. You will be amazed at what you will gain with your family as your number ! support team.



And so the new generation begins...............



Congratulations to you Kyle! Class of 2011
