Failure

      After trying to start a photography business I have decided its just not in the cards for me.  Being a mother is a full time job and thats all I have time for.  This is very hard for me, but it is best.  Right now I need to focus my time on my family.  And with Jonathan's job and the kids its enough stress without adding more to it.  Who knows maybe someday I will be able to make my one dream come true.
       I have struggled with this decision for many months now.  My computer crashing was the first sign.  And dealing with army life is not an easy thing.  It has a lot of hard times. With little good times.  It is an emotional roller coaster.  For everyone in our family.
    Thank you to all of my friends and family that supported me in my photography.  It meant the world to me.  Know it is killing to let this go.  But life is not fair always.  And we must make sacrifices in this life, wether we want to or not.

10 year Anniversary

Gabriel's 5th Birthday

It is hard to believe my baby is 5 years old! But they must grow up, so I better get use to the idea! It was a quite night with just the kids and I. Oh and Paige and Nikki, My Wifie and her Daughter.

The weekend before YaYa took us out to celebrate with dinner and a movie. Yogi Bear and so yummy Red Robin! And, like always, she spoiled him with gifts! But thats what YaYa's are for.

Orem Fire station #3

We had another activity a few weeks later with the army wife's. And let me tell you these activity help so much. Especially on Saturdays, when everyone is off doing family things. Spending time with there husbands. And us to just sit around and watch.

The Orem Fire station #3 Went above and beyond for us. They even let the kids shot the hose. Even though it only lasted 45 min, it was a wonderful 45 min. A time that our kids will remember for a very long time.

F.R.G. Activity Hollywood Connection 2011

In January The Veterans Of Foreign Wars Put together a great activity for the 141. A free all day pass to Hollywood Connections, and a free Build a Bear with voice box. So that daddy could record a special message and the kids could have a little piece of daddy when ever they want.

The kids had a ball. Now that they are older they were able to go on all of the ride by them selfs. Which gave Mommy some much needed talk time with other Army Wife's.

Reagan vs. the couch

On lazy Sunday morning, at around noon, I had finally decided to get out of bed and hope in the shower. The moment I stepped out I heard this heart wrenching scream. Felicity comes in and says "Mommy Reagan's hurt" all while holding a bag of ice. Right away I knew this was going to be bad. Then Reagan appears. Nice cut on her right eye and it is already starting to become black and blue.

Earlier in the week she was playing with Gabe and fell off a doll table, breaking it in 2 pieces, and cutting up her back while hitting her head.

Knowing this had been her 2nd head injury in 8 days I decided we had better go to the Urgent Care. They Checked her out, made sure all was well and sent us on our way.

An hour after we got home, her eye begun to swell and swell. Until she could not open it. Panic set in. I called the Urgent Care and ask if this was okay. They said that unless I thought she had a hematoma there was nothing they could do.

These Pictures do not do it justice!!

Tattoo

Well I did it, I finally go a tattoo. Something that I have wanted for years. Thanks to Nikki and her tattoo guy Jon. I wont lie it hurt a lot. But it was so worth every min. It is everything I wanted and It is a one of a kind. Which makes it even more special!
