Mother's Day 2011

Oh my goodness! Forget about all the cards, flowers, and presents wrapped up in pretty little gift boxes. When I look at this photo, I truly see the gift for which I have received. Four beautiful little souls and one with wings, and the gift of motherhood. Although they keep me on my toes, I am so very grateful for each and every one of them. They make me see my purpose for life here on earth. I hope they will always know how very dear they are to me.

Easter Overload 2011

We went camping for Easter this year. It was a tad cold! I'm not sure you can really call it roughing when you have a pimped out fifth wheel like my parents. Lucky for them, most of us used their accomodations for our camping needs!

Savana's Birth Day Party

This years birthday theme was a little "wild!"

Some may say I can be a little "overboard" with the kids' birthdays, but my response would be I just really like to make them feel special. It's the one day of the year that all the attention & focus is on them and I want them to know how very important they are to me! .....Success!

Moab 2011

I'm never able to capture all the fun we have on our annual Moab summer trip. I think next year I'll make it a challenge for me to document a little bit more. One of the favorite things to do is of course...swimming! That's pretty much the only event I took pictures of this time. The kids love it and it wears them out so it's good for all of us!

(love it....look at my Mother-in-law's face ^hahaha.  she's a worry wart)
