Busy April!

April is the month of Birthdays. Eight ate least. I had one just about every week three in the first eight days. Trying to keep up with birthdays and everything else I've found it's time to clump.

Happy 18th birthday to Jennifer Jean. Wow I can't believe you're going to graduate from high school! I miss your creativity and spontaneous ideas for games when you were little. I love you sunflower!

Ah Sissy, I hope you have an awesome thirtieth birthday. I'm bummed I missed the annual trip to Desert Star and hope you and mom had fun. You are an amazing momma and your kids love and adore you. You're strong and never give up when the going gets tough. Happy day of birth sissy, and here's to many more!

I don't know who told this little lady she could turn three. This little miss has always been auntie Shan's little bee. Who knows why. (couldn't be the name... Charlotte Shannon) I love ever minute spent with this little lady and her adorable siblings. Happy Birthday Baby Bee!

Barth Kiddos Pics

So when I originally did A's pictures and the kids we had weather issues and time crunch. So we did them again to insure a decent amount of options for her mom's wall.

These are all from our second shoot. i almost needed a children's handler to get them all smiling at the same time. We always seem to have an adventure!

Barbone Family Pics

Not many people know I minored in photography. Since moving to Heber I haven't dabbled too much in it. which is a bummer since I truly love it, So a few weeks ago my coworker was needing family pictures. I quietly rendered her my services and figured it would be great practice. (I was worried I'm might be rusty.) Shortly after her pictures she asked if I'd do her sister's family as well as her parents. I had a blast. 

physical Therapy

Many of my friends know that I am the queen of klutziness. Last year I dislocated my knee simply moving something out of my way. I spent three weeks in a straight leg brace and eight weeks doing physical therapy to strengthen the knee. During the summer and fall I did really well.
 As winter came so did the pain and swelling. I tried everything from braces, biofreeze, ice, heat, patches and finally waved a white flag. I went in to my doctor and he ordered a month of physical therapy in hopes that we can get it under control.

Mostly because I don't really need a repeat of this....

Love my Job

How many of us get to say we get paid to play? I love playing with the kiddos at the school.

My buddies

I love getting loves on a daily basis from all my kiddos at work. The best thing is I may have fifty plus kids but at the end of the day I get me time.

 

Happy Birthday Momzilla love you!

Welcome to 2015

This years new years eve kind of snuck up on me. I hadn't made any big plans and found myself having a quiet evening at my parents celebrating Kman's birthday. One of my best friends graciously dropped her plans to come have a quiet evening with Heidi, Davy, Becca and I. As the rest retreated to different ends of the house.
 It was mostly movie watching and talking. Shalyna and I didn't even finish our conversation more then ten seconds to say ''happy New Year's.'' I was surprised how my view of the holidays had changed to just spending time with a few instead of a ton. No goals were set, no time was spent pondering on the what ifs. Here's to a great year!
