The kiddos spent the afternoon making the cutest “town” in the drive way with their sidewalk chalk. Of course Little Jody my miniature Clint Eastwood drew a gun store and a Wal-mart. Gabs drew a nail saloon and a house of her own and ella drew a drag strip to race up and down with her princess trike.  I went to walk inside when I noticed this little gem right smack in the middle of town. Drawn by my lovely son ,who although I embarrass him to the fullest he still loves his Mommy. Gash! How I love that he still calls me “Mommy” Mostly MOOOOM! But mommy and mama are a fave!

Really, She is so much more then that. She is the kisser of boo-boos, your biggest fan, your greatest support system. She will love you more then anyone ever will. When I became a mother 12 years ago on March 10th. I never in a million years imagined  how my life would change.  I knew that I no longer was “I”. I became “we” Then almost three years later “we” became “us” then years later “us” became “Three” I base my world on being a mother. Am I a great mother? I would love to say HECK yeah! but in reality I’m just a mother. I have 2 girls and 1 boy who  mean more to me then anything. I make mistakes, I embarrass them almost always. Especially when I try and hold little Jody’s hand when we cross the street. His whole body slumps down and he peeks up at me and says” really mom I’m 9″ I reply with a “really Jote you’re 9″ He will lightly grab my hand and try and make it across the street before anyone notices his 9yr old manly-ness holding his mother’s hand! I can seriously laugh at this now, But the day will come when I have to let go of their hands to watch them walk into college or walk down the isle.

I’m so blessed to have so many images of my kiddos growing up to look back on. But almost all of them I’m behind the camera. I’ve decided to switch things up a little. I’ll be looking to book a fabulous photographer to photograph me with my kiddos for mothers day. I’ve tried to stay on the other side of the lens being that I haven’t lost all of my goal weight yet, then I thought. Time stops for no one. Not me while I try to slim down to my “right size” Definitely not my kids as each day I notice their looks changing, My gabs is already in a 10 woman’s shoe and is just about as tall as me and will soon be a lot taller.

I want to be able to capture these moments for you. And give you images that are simplistic and breath-taking. Images that will burn into your heart and mind..This way when you’re little one is no longer little. You’ll have something to hold in your hand to remember those wonderful days as well as a lifetime of memories to hold in your heart…
