March 14, 2016 - In Loving Memory of Dozer

6:11 PM |

I received the keepsakes that I ordered for Dozer in the mail today, and I love them! A lovely little paw pendant for me, and small chrome cylinders with paw prints for Garrett and Blake. Tucked inside of the keepsakes is a bit of Dozer's beautiful fur that I saved.

We also received a carved dog puzzle from Jack's co-worker, and it looks just like Dozer. I have them all set up next to the beautiful garden stone that Garrett's girlfriend Genevieve bought for me.

It is hard to believe that it has almost been a month since he died. It still feels like he is wandering around the house with his big goofy smile, and his sweet, loving nature. We really miss him.

In other news, Casey and Brianna found a house, and will be moving out this Wednesday. I am SO excited for them, but will really miss having them here too. It is not too far away, so I am sure I will see them often. They will be taking Ducati with them too...yay. Jack and I were hoping they would stay until after the baby is born, so it would take some stress off of them, but they are anxious to set up their little home. We have truly enjoyed having them live here, but I can't blame them a bit. It is hard to believe that it is less than two months until the baby arrives. I can not wait to meet my precious grandson. <3

Garrett has been working hard on his photography and is doing awesome. He finally decided to set up a Youtube channel for his edits, and maybe a vlog or two. Here is one of his recent photos...

He went to Donnelly, Idaho with his friend Shane to clear the snow off the roof of their family's cabin. Garrett took some amazing photos. He shoots multiple exposure in RAW format, then combines the exposures in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom for the final EPIC image. He does amazing work!

Blake is doing great with his photography as well. Only one more week until Spring break. We plan on going on a lot of photo adventures. Then in April, Garrett, his girlfriend Genevieve, Blake and I, will be taking a top-secret road trip to Washington state. Details to follow... :)
We are so blessed, this family of mine. I am so proud of my boys...all four of them!
Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

Peace.

Blake and I enjoyed a lovely day yesterday. We drove up into the foothills with Dozer to take some more photos. Then we drove to the Veteran's cemetery. It was a beautiful day, and we both got some amazing photos.

Blake starts photography in school today, and I just know he is going to do great!

I love having a photography partner-in-crime. It makes taking photos so much more fun. I am blessed to share a hobby with my boys <3

And some amazing photos by Blake!

Boise Veteran's Cemetery. Really beautiful spot high on a hill overlooking the city.

Four more photos to add to my series, "Through Blake's Lens."

Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

Peace.

December 31, 2015 - Happy New Year, 2016!

How do you take close to 10,000 photos and a handful of videos, and condense them down to a few minutes in an end of year review? That is really hard to do when you capture as many awesome moments as this mama has. This year, 2015, has been a wonderful year. We have had some amazing times, and a few not so amazing times, but in the end, I can say with absolute certainty...that we are very blessed as a family. There is a whole lotta love that lives here.

My New Year's gift to us, my family, is this little "End of Year" review video. I did manage to condense our memories down into 6.19.27 minutes of pure joy.

Thank God for the amazing year we have had and thank God for the most epic, awesome year, 2016, that starts at midnight tonight! I can guarantee you all, at the very least, another 10,000 photos and handful of videos to remember every single second to come.

To Jack, Garrett, Genevieve, Brandon, Amber, Cooper, Penny, Casey, Brianna, Baby Axel Ray on the way, Blake...and even our animals...Dozer, Supra, Ducati, RayRay, Miss Lilly, Annabelle and Rosie...

Happy New Year family, I love you!

Here is our 2015 in 6.19.27 minutes.

Welcome to 2016, we are ready for you!

Until next time...enjoy life, and be kind to one another.

December 28, 2015 - I Do Love Winter!

12:13 AM |

I do love winter, but my goodness, it has been so cold! Thankfully my little hens have not turned into chicken Popsicles.

We will be below freezing for the entire week.

Blake and I did manage to get outside and take a few photos.

The skies over Boise were clear, but there was an inversion settling in over the foothills that looked very cool.

The only thing I don't love about winter in Boise is inversion conditions. Especially when the inversion settles in over the valley. Makes it hard on the lungs.

A very cool photo taken by Blake of this sad little snowman, chilling in the sun.

Here are some amazing photos that Garrett took of his beautiful girlfriend Genevieve at her father's farm on Christmas day. Garrett takes such incredible pictures. He truly captures the moments in his photography.
