The field is white already to harvest!

This great young man is off to serve a mission in Mexico for our church. He will be an awesome missionary!

Talented Teens

These are two talented teens from a very talented mom. "B" wanted photos in her irish dance uniform. "G" is a great guitar player and has an awesome red electric guitar. They braved the cold and were up to hiking around to different locations. Great shoot and great kids!

A big shout out!

I have been very blessed to be surrounded by an amazing family. I grew up with many talented family members. I had sisters and cousins who have played collegiate sports...me I am not so athletic. I have one cousin who is about to graduate from Oregon State Univ while being a star volleyball player, she has a great story-read it here I think here story will inspire others. Way to go Ashley!

Cute girls

These are the cute girls of my good friend Mandi. We had a great afternoon and her girls were wonderful!

Need an assistant?

Ok so I get this question often...how do you do it all? Well my secret is my assistant :) He is one, does not like to sleep, ignores TV but loves music, and makes me laugh. Here are some pics of him "assisting" me.

He is great at emptying trash bins no matter how high.
He can make a photo copy

He can block anything on the Internet

He does windows

also toilets (yes we sanitized after this)

he will re organize your sippy cup drawer

He can get his own snacks

The best thing is he can do ALL these things in less than 10 minutes- he is very fast! Ok there my secret is out, so to all you moms out there- get an assistant! wink :)

Help Baby Mia

This came across my desk this morning and I had to do something to help this baby girl. Have the Kleenex ready when you read the blog. How often do we take our children's health for granted- I know I do.

This is Mia's story.
Mia has been patiently holding on for the past 3 months. But, she's one of 8 babies in the Seattle Children's Hospital on the Washington waiting list. In order to put Mia on other waiting lists, the McDonalds need $450,000.00 up front for the heart transplant. Sadly their insurance is falling short of paying for the surgeries and health care Mia has already received.

Please help out in anyway you can. Every dollar helps.

My heart aches for this family, and I just cry every time I read a new post on their family blog.
