My Passion

Well since I have finished school and have been mentoring with an amazing photographer I have decided to start taking photo's part time. I am so excited! I love taking pictures and I grew up with a father who also loves photography. I think that he is one of the reasons why I have been drawn to this passion. He actually has created a family full of photographers. I have 3 other sisters who love it just as much as me and their pictures show it. Well hopefully I will be able to start this full time once I get more practice and clients :)

This is my blog for my photo's:

He has overcome his fear of falling

So we decided that it was time that Cade really learn how to ride a bike. He has been trying but didnt want to get on because he would fall so he would end up riding his scooter instead of his bike. Well I decided that I would teach him how to do it. He kept telling me no but as you can see he learned and was so excited he called the grandparents.



Here is dad showing Cade how to start off by himself.

Jeff showing Cade how it is done.

My little Princess

This amazing girl is also my angel. She has brought so much light to our life. I think she made our family complete! She is so much fun to be around and she brings out the best in all of us. We didn't have as many issues when she was born as we did with Cade but that didn't make her arrival boring at all! I love this little girl and I do not know what we would have done if she had not joined our family. I love you Reise!

My little man

This little man is amazing! When I am sad he will start to break dance just to make me smile. I do not know what I would do without him. Most of you know that he was our angel that just had to be here if you know what I mean. Jeff and I had not planned on kids so soon but he just had to come into our life right away. It was a huge surprise but such a blessing. When I had him he came out needing a little help with breathing. Within the first 2 weeks of his life he got RSV. The doctors told me he just had a cold and to just give him some meds. After a couple of days I knew something was wrong. My mom and I went to the insta-care and we were told he just had a cold. I had this sick feeling that something else was wrong, good thing that I went with my gut and told them to check him again. They did an oxygen test and found that his oxygen level was horribly low. They rushed us to Primary Children's Hospital where he was treated for a week and then we took him home on oxygen for a week or so. The doctor told us that if we would have not taken him in when we did that he would have not made it through the night. WOW! When we had him blessed several family members told me that they felt he would make a difference... Little did they know that he already had made such a huge difference. I can not imagine my life without this little angel named Cade. Thank you Cade for being my little boy!!!

Reise and I making Brownies

Reise and I decided to make brownies wearing the awesome aprons my mom made us.

Princess on Ice Anyone?

Well I took Reise to the Princess's on Ice and she loved it. We went with her best friend Adri. It was so much fun. Reise asked if her cousin's could go with her next time. She sure does love her cousins.
