Capture Photography

My dear friend Cara took our family photos a couple of weeks ago and they really couldn't have come out better. Thank you Cara. I can't wait to get the prints.

Thanks Mama

Tomorrow I leave Canyon for the first time for 4 days!!! My girlfriends and I are going to Mexico for our annual reunion. I have been a little stressed and had a million things on my "to do" list. As I was going about my tasks it seemed like a million more things kept coming up and adding to my stress!

Then an angel appeared at my door. My mom. She occupied Canyon, brought us lunch and forced me to stop and paint my toes and hers (she is going to Cancun with her sisters). I absolutely needed someone to stop my madness and slow my day down. We visited and painted and it was the best part of my day. So Thanks Mama, thanks my forever ANGEL. I love you so much and am so grateful for the stability you add to my life.

P.S. These are not either of our nails. I just needed a picture to complete the post.

Pure SUGAR

Gary’s addiction to ice cream and my love of sweets has given Canyon no hope.

Maybe thats why he's pure sugar.

STINKER

Canyon’s new guilty pleasure is terrorizing my purse! I found a gum wrapper in his poop the other day.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY GARY

If Canyon could tell Gary how he felt I think he would say...

You have the strongest arms and they make me feel safe.

You face tickles me when you kiss me but I like it!

You are silly and can always make laugh.

You let me make a mess, even if it makes mom crazy.

Sometimes I don't want anyone but you to put me to sleep.

You feed me yummy food for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

You are the best Dad ever and I love you.

And this is what I have to say to Gary...

Thank you for being sweet, loving, playful, and easy going with our boy.

Thank you for rocking, cuddling, kissing, and hugging our stinker.

Thank you for teaching, feeding, cleaning, and changing our sweet pea.

I love you!
