Check out my new website that officially launched today! I am still working on building my portfolio but I am for hire now. Kinda strange to think about charging for something I LOVE to do!

BEST $500 I'VE EVER SPENT!!!
NO LIE, BY FAR THE VERY BEST $500 I HAVE EVER SPENT AND EVER WILL SPEND!!! ISR SWIM LESSONS!
I had never heard about ISR lessons until this summer. We spent 10minutes a day Mon-Fri for the last five weeks at these lessons. I have to admit I was skeptical at first. I was also very hesitant because of the five days a week, 4-6week commitment and of course the lessons are pricey. The first couple of lessons I even doubted if I had made the right decision. The lessons are very intense, emotional and Jaylee even threw up the first couple of times. You have to document every thing they eat and drink and every time they have a bowel movement and urination the entire time they are in the lessons. Before they graduate they have to pass off saving themselves, first in their summer cloths, then their PJs and then full blown winter clothing. The pics (BELOW) are of Jaylee passing off in her winter cloths. Long sleeve shirt, hooded sweater, jeans, socks and tennis shoes and diaper. The instructor sank her clear to the bottom of the pool, flipped her every wich way, threw her in face first and backwards and last she took off her sweater and threw it on top of jaylees face. My 1yr old baby can save her own life if she fell into water because she knows how to float and swim to the side of the pool! She can float as long as she needs to, until she would be rescued. I am in no way being naive, I understand a child should never be left unsupervised ever! But these lessons sure have given me some piece of mind. I HIGHLY recommend everyone get their kiddos into these lessons, it will be the BEST investment you have ever made! As soon as I can I will post the video of her passing off, it is really something to see!

Independance Day
July 4th was a little nontraditional this year. Ronnie and Faith flew to Utah for our nephew Ethan's baptism. They were gone for 5 days. Jaylee and I went to Show Low with my family for the celebrations(I HATE flying).
Faiths first time flying in an airplane and she loved it!
Faith loved visiting with all of her cousins
Jaylee had fun at the parade and fireworks!
My cute little sis! Today is her birthday! I feel so lucky to have her for a sister. I am so proud of all that she has acomplished! Happy Birthday sista! Below is a picture of her little girl (my gorgeous niece). Check out my photography blog to see more cute pics of her kiddos!

a week in San Diego
Ronnie & "Dog" the Bounty Hunter
Faith, Chance, "Dog" & dogs daughter
One week in San Diego is hardly enough compared to a month stay last year. No complaints though we had a ball! My Aunt and her son went out with us and then Chris, Bailey & Brody came out the last three days. We enjoyed all of our favorite food places, the beach, Old Town San Diego and a visit to the Birch Aquarium. One of the nights at dinner we sat next to "Dog" the Bounty Hunter and his family...kinda cool. The weather was great and we cant wait to do it again!

Memorial weekend...
Thursday we left for the mountains. By the time we got to Show Low we were in the middle of a snow storm (crazy). By Saturday the snow had melted and it warmed up enough to have a little fun. We spent the last few days playing at the homestead and "little red". We went to St. Johns to clean and visit family graves.

Mothers Day & some
Mothers Day was great! I hope all of the mothers I know had a wonderful day!
I finished my photography class for the semester. I cant even begin to tell you how much I enjoyed everything about it, so much that I am taking another class at MCC during the summer. I have to get as much in now because Faith starts kindergarten in August.
I got the great news on Friday that Faith was accepted to Franklin! WHOO HOOO! I was kind of feeling like if she didn't get accepted that it wasn't meant to be...but after I went and observed one of their kindergarten classes I would have been sooo disappointed if she hadn't been accepted! Their curriculum is really something to see!

Spring Cleaning...
I love my girls even with dirt and boogers on their face!
I cant help but smile every time I look at this picture:)
We went up north for the weekend so that Ronnie could trim some of the trees around the Homestead! The weather was perfect...no more snow:) We all had a great time riding our 4 wheelers and visiting with family in Show Low!

BLOG BOOK
This post is inspired by my friend Brittnay who just lost all of history on her blog:( This has always been a scary thought for me. Blogging has turned out to be the only form of journaling I have been keeping up with. Recently I heard about www.blurb.com a place that will "slurp" (that's their words) your posts directly from your blog. From there you can create your own blog book. So far I have only completed 2006, I am still working on 2007. If you have ever made a book with shutterfly it is very similar.

Easter
Easter Sunday Church dresses (it was also Jaylee's first day in nursery...YEAH!) She survived with only one finger nail claw mark on her arm
We celebrated Easter at our house this year with my family and Ronnie's parents. We had Easter dinner and desert and then the kids had a Easter egg hunt in the back yard.
