Wildflowers Workshop

I just got back from the most amazing photography workshop ever!  It was more than learning camera equipment, lighting, and editing.  It was a group of 20 amazing women from around the US.  There is so much I learned and took away from the past couple of days.  Much more than I ever imagined I would and trust me, my expectations were HIGH.  Women are incredible beings.  I roomed with a clone of one of my best friends.  We clicked.  I was inspired by a 22 year old and to me she was a "baby."  We stayed up talking and shared beds with each other.  Before the retreat we only knew each others names.  It was peaceful.  It was magical.  I am a new person because the past three days.  There is so much I want to share and I do plan to, but right now I have to sign off and do my job...be a mother to an incredible little girl that I want to help develop and mold into a fascinating woman.  Joy Prouty, the facilitator of the workshop shared this video and made me cry.  I want Lexi to see this when she is older and know this is how I feel about her:

Day 8

Sometimes when life seems hard, sad, or stressful, I like to just stop for a moment and find something happy or peaceful. This evening, Lexi and I were driving home and we noticed the beautiful sunset. I stopped so we could take a picture on my phone. When I look at the sky and it looks like this, it makes me think of the loved ones we have lost and are now in Heaven. Instead of feeling sadness, I feel comfort they are in their forever home in the arms of Jesus. I'm thankful to have to ability to remember and the faith to feel comfort. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPhone

Day 12

Today I am thankful for Apple.  Apple makes great technology.  Jason has been in Canada for almost a week and because of our iPads we were able to facetime with him!  Lexi gets a little shy when the conversation begins, but she quickly warms up and loves to talk and kiss him.  We love and miss him so much when he is traveling.  We are looking forward to the summer when he is home with us for a couple of months straight!!

kindergarten boxcar parade

Well, everyone was healthy until Lexi got the flu and I got pneumonia.  Needless to say, it's been a rough week...BUT, we are better again and for the most part back to normal.  Jason, Lexi and I all worked together on this and we think it turned out great!  All the boxcars were unique and wonderful!  The parade was wonderful...it should have been televised!!
