I got my new camera a few days ago YEA!! I had lost my camera when I went rafting with my dad down the salt river in February, I think I left it along the bank of the river when we stopped for lunch. I hope some lucky person found it before it got ruined. My loss there gain. Any way while I did not have a camera allot happened in my life that I would have loved to have photo memories of.
* My mom, Jesse & Matthew, and myself took a road trip to California for my Nana's 95 birthday
* Jesse turned 16 (this is the first time in his life I did not get a picture on his birthday)
* We went to Arizona for Easter
* Canyon turned two
* Trek was born
* We got a new puppy
* Matthew finished elementary school and promoted to middle school
* Mothers day
* I turned 33
* Jesse bought his first truck
But I have a camera now and plan to get back into the habit of photographing life as it happens, I never new how much I would miss not having a camera untill I did not have one.

Where Does the time go?
Where does the time go?
I am home alone tonight for the first time in a long time. Mark, Jesse, and Jesse’s friend Jordan went camping tonight and will raft down the Taos Box tomorrow. Matthew is in Kansas with his friend Tanner attending Tanner’s cousin’s graduation from high school. Being home alone has given me time to think about the past year and the years to come.
In one week Matthew will have completed elementary school and will be moving on to middle school. I still think of him as my little boy but I know that he is about to enter a whole new world in which his friends, teachers, and so many other people will be begging to influence him in so many ways. I hope that together Mark and I can help him through this transition with as little pain as possible.
Jesse will complete his sophomore year of high school in one week and will then officially be an upper classman. He has been looking for a car of his own, and I believe that he has found one that we will be buying on Monday. He is looking for a job, decided not to play sports anymore and is daily trying to figure out what it means to be a teenager not quite an adult but not a child anymore either.
Yesterday I conducted my last PFO meeting at Sombra, and it was surprisingly just like any other meeting. I on the other hand am having a hard time knowing that something that I have given hours of time to each week for the last 11 years of my life is just over like that. I know that I will find other things to do and that the PFO at Sombra will run just fine. I truly enjoy volunteering with and for children and know that no matter what it is that I do, how big or how small if it brings peace, joy, happiness, or scene of safety to a child it worth it.
I would encourage everyone to take time to enjoy every moment of your life, to laugh with and love the people you are with. And to not wake up one morning and say “where did the time go”

Happy Mothers Day
I wanted to wish each and every mother out there a very happy Mothers Day, filled with lots of love and happiness. I hope that you each get a chance to be loved and appriecated today the way you should be everyday of the year.
A special Mothers Day Wish to:
My mom who has directly and indirectly help mold me into the mother that I am today.
My sister who is getting to enjoy the love that two boys can offer everyday.
My two sons for making me the most proud Mother, and for getting up and working in the garden this morning even though the garden is my thing not theirs, they did it without a fuss.
And to my wonderful husband, that I could not come close to being the mother I am without him. He is my other half and driving force that keeps me going when I think maybe I can't.
