Face Painting

Phil did some face painting last year at Lyla's birthday party. The problem with a perfectionist is that he takes a long time on each face and Lyla never even got hers painted during the party. She is asking for it again this year, but would like to go first! I am sure all the parents were super happy when they came to pick up their girls.

Family Pictures 2014

It was a beautiful day out at the Nisqually Bird Refuge with the sun shining and the wind blowing. Jamie Pace always does such a great job getting our best side and then editing like crazy to have us look so good. Such a talented friend I have and such a great beautiful family. I am one blessed lady and so very grateful for all I have been given.

Somebody Turned 12

So fun to have a 12 year old. When I picked her up from school and asked about the donuts I dropped off at lunch she said, "they barely finishing singing 'to you' and then 10 hands darted past me reaching for the donuts. It was scarier than being in Walmart on Black Friday. I'm just glad they left one for me." I love this spunky, funny, beautiful, amazing and smart girl. She makes life so fun and is so great to have around. What a blessing to be her mom and I am so glad she came to our family 12 years ago.
