April 11, 2016 - Family Makes Everything Better :)

When you surround yourself with family, you can do anything.  I truly believe that.  And family is never to be taken for granted.  Family is not always perfect, but family is all that matters.  Each individual member has their own personality, and their own opinions and thoughts on life, and that is what makes family more interesting, more amazing.  It can also cause stress from time to time, that is to be expected, but true, forever, wonderful, family can take all the stress that life throws at it, and just get stronger. Nothing can break the bonds of true family.

This past week my birthday week was amazing. I was reminded how very blessed I am to be surrounded by my forever, loving, strong, family.  They took care of me. They reminded me every single day of how important I am, and how much I mean to them.  And most importantly, they demonstrated to me that no matter what happens in life...they will always be here for me.  There is no greater gift than that.

And to the members of my family who have chosen not to be in our life, I feel sorry for you.  I truly, sincerely do.  You are missing out, and that is a shame. You are missing out on the loyal, kind, loving nature that is Jack, Garrett, Genevieve, Casey, Brianna, Blake, and I.  The world does not stop spinning until you decide to get back on.  We keep marching forward, sharing life and making memories.  And what lovely memories they are. :)

Here are some photos from my wonderful birthday week, part 1. I truly had a lovely time.  And the best news of all...birthday week number two starts now!

Birthday selfie!  Hello 55!  I am so pleased to see you.  We are going to have a fabulous year, you and I. :)

To Jack, Garrett, Genevieve, Casey, Brianna, and Blake, I love you with all my heart!!  Thank you for knowing how important and precious life is. Thank you for always loving me.  <3  To the rest of my family,who is not currently a part of my life, I love you too...with all of my heart.  May life treat you kindly, and may you have an amazing year ahead as well!

April 4, 2016 - Hello April

Four days into my favorite month, and the weather has been amazing thus far.  Yay!  I hope it remains amazing.

Garrett's girlfriend Genevieve came over yesterday, and Garrett fixed up my old bike for her.  I am looking forward to some fun biking adventures with Garrett and Genevieve.  It is more fun when you ride with the people you love. :)

We also tackled Supra's nail trimming yesterday.  Oh my GOD, Supra hates having his paws touched. I put a little lavender oil behind his ear to calm him down.  It still took Garrett and Blake holding him down, Genevieve sweet-talking into his ears while holding a blanket over his head, and me snipping his giant nails as fast as I could. It was quite the undertaking, let me tell you.  We got it done though! Phew!

Just a few more weeks until we bring Denali home, so I am going to start walking Supra to get him used to walking with me.  This way adding a puppy will be easier.  I hope.

More pictures from this weekend. I took Blake to dinner at Olive Garden on Saturday, then we enjoyed the sunset at Kleiner park.  I did have to take him shoe shopping though.  Blake LOVES shopping for shoes.  He does not have to buy any, he just enjoys trying them on.  He definitely does not get his love of shopping from me.  I HATE shopping!  :)




 


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


Peace.

April 2, 2016 - Are We There Yet?

Happy April!!

Only a few more weeks until we drive to Washington to get our Denali!  We are so excited to meet our new Pyrenees puppy.  In the meantime, the breeder posted his 6-week pictures.  He is growing so fast!!




We would go sooner, but Garrett is scheduled with photo-shoots almost every single day this month. It is going to be a very busy April for him.

Yesterday, I enjoyed a delightful dinner with Garrett and Blake.  We went to Boise Fry Company and had some delicious food on their patio on a beautiful Spring day.  The boys had a bison burger, and I had a veggie burger.  We also ate some really delicious french fries.  They have a very cool selection of different varieties of potatoes, some I have never heard of.  You then select how you want your potatoes cut, and then get to pick from all their yummy sauces and salts.  A really cool place to eat. We have decided that we need to try a new restaurant every weekend.  There are so many great places to eat here in Boise.  
I love spending time with Garrett and Blake.  We have so much fun together. :)

After dinner, Blake and I did a little photo adventuring.  It was a gorgeous day.  Spring is not yet in full bloom, the trees are still quite brown, but Boise is still quite beautiful.

I told Blake we could only use one lens.  He had to shoot with the 70-300mm only, and I used my 55-300mm lens.  Less to carry, and an interesting challenge...right?  Nah...we will never do that again. lol  A photographer needs to be able to change it up.  :)

It was golden-hour, so we did get some pretty amazing pictures.  And we had fun!  I love sharing my favorite hobby with the boys.  They all love photography just as much as I do.  It is awesome.













Next order of business...get the bikes ready.  It is time to start cycling again!!

Have a great weekend everyone. 

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


Peace.
