now THIS makes a girl feel great

today, i arrived home to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers at my door step. i couldn't imagine who they were from so i rushed to open the card.... they were from our special friend treya who is also simon's business partner.

the card, and the words that treya wrote brought me to tears.

you'll see below an image of the card and the beautiful flowers that accompanied the card. i know, usually its the card the accompanies the flowers... but NOT this card!!!!

the inscription in the card read as follows:

ms. v...dear sweet ms. v.

...it started as a thank you for taking my angels' pics...

then i thought i should thank you for being you.

for every time you say "lots of love" i feel it.

for each time i run with you i wish i did more.

for every time i leave you i say "man, she's so awesome".

for being so kind, sweet, fun and loving.

for being sassy, and owning it.

for loving my best friend in the whole world.

for loving every thing i wear even when i don't.

lastly, for just being the one gal in the world that everyone

loves! 

T.

thank you treya, for the flowers and those kind kind words.

and, as always...

LOTS OF LOVE

jaclyn and reaghan

here are some photos of jaclyn and reaghan. when we are together i usually photograph the kids playing, but today i wanted to get some mother/daughter photos.  jac was game... reaghan wasn't interested .....  never mind, i was able to capture some photos before she ran off with mason.....

hmmmm hmmmm, i love tulips

that was sung to the turtle song (you know, the chocolates...) am i aging myself?

are you wondering who bought me these beautiful pink tulips?  No, not Simon.  Me, I bought them for myself.  Needed a "pick-me-up" today after spending most of the the night last night awake and comforting a coughing and puking little boy.  Yes, Mason who was the one suffering needs a "pick-me-up" too, but thats besides the point.  He got some good ole Mama lovin.

nyah's little brothers

here are some photos of Nyah's twin brothers, Jason and Liam.  think they are pretty cool names considering how close they are to my son's (his name is Mason Liam) :)

nyah

yesterday late afternoon i met nyah and her little baby brothers for some fun at the park.... here are some of the photographs... shots of the babes to come...

silent auction

my friend jackie asked if i would donate a photography session for a silent auction her son's pre-school was putting on.... of course i was game... last night we attended the auction.... i took this canvas (40x40) i had done up to show some of my work (i have not done up any other printing in a couple of years... it is on the list but i never seem to get there... sorry mom who has been waiting for prints since christmas 07!!).  anyways, it was exciting to see other people interested in my work... gives me more confidence to keep up with it!

emma and jaryn

this weekend we went to the okanagan to spend easter with the slus in their kelowna home.  we had a wonderful time. in fact on the return trip mason cried, no he sobbed, because he didn't want to leave emma and jaryn.

here are some photos of mason's new best friends!!

my friend sharon

today i did a photo shoot with my friend sharon... as you can see by the photos, she is a beautiful being... and it is so... on the inside as well.

can't wait to meet the mini armstrong.
