Celebrating my Mom & Sending Mothers Day Wishes

I have an amazing mom! She has a heart of gold and cares deeply for her family & friends. I love to watch her talk to with people and make new friends. While here for a visit she had the time to meet some wonderful woman from our church and before going home she made some new friendships. That's one of the many things I love about her, she is a genuine woman and truly cares for others. She has taught me a great deal and I am so thankful to have the best teacher in the world. She is my mentor on how to be a good wife and mother and she has helped show me what truly matters...to love unconditionally and whole heartedly
to have fun and cherish each moment. Not only is she my mom but she is my best friend. I know that what ever I come to her with she will be there to give me some great advice, she will cry when I just need to cry or she will laugh when I'm laughing. She never judges me and always supports me. Watching her with Awbrey melts my heart. She is an amazing grandmother and I am truly thankful for the bond that the two of them have. They have an amazing friendship. Awbrey truly loves her Mimi and cherishes all they do together.  There are so many things that they have done together and hobbies that Mimi has shared & taught her. It touches my heart to see them together, laughing playing and just being goof balls!

So Mom on this Mothers Day we send you many wishes of a wonderful day full of love! We wish we could be there with you and the family celebrating the GREAT Mom's we have in our family at the traditional Mothers Day BBQ. Just know that you are always with me in my heart and I hear your voice in my head always cheering me on. You are such an AMAZING MOM that gives everything to her family. You are full of such grace. We are all truly blessed to have such a loving, caring lady in our life. Thank you for all that you do!!!

Happy Mothers Day Mom!

We love you,

Dreaming of a Picnic

I'm in the mood for a picnic but it's not looking like the best weather for one this weekend here in the NW, but I can dream of one. I love picnics, they are so relaxing, romantic, personal, quiet and you get the best seat in the house. I wonder why I don't go on more since I enjoy them so much? Most likely it's because I'm always running a million miles an hour and forget to stop and smell the poesies.

Sitting under a crystal blue sky, eating yummy food and enjoying the company of those you are with or enjoying some alone time reading a book, whatever you enjoy doing go out and have fun!

GREAT STRIDES Walk - Donate today

Hi -

GREAT STRIDES is the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation's largest and most successful national fundraising event. This year, I'm walking in the GREAT STRIDES walk at the 2011 Vancouver - Esther Short Park walk on 05/14/2011, we will be walking in honor of my friend Melissa's 20 yr old nephew Billy who has CF. Please help me meet my fundraising goal of $150.00 and our team's goal of $1000.00. Your generous gift will be used efficiently and effectively, as nearly 90 cents of every dollar of revenue raised is available for investment in vital CF programs to support research, care and education.

Making a donation is easy and secure! Just click here GREAT STRIDES Donations and "Click to Donate" button on this page to go to make a donation that will be credited to my team. Any amount you can donate is greatly appreciated!

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is making a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF. However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That's why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner - rather than later. To learn more about CF and the CF Foundation, visit www.cff.org.

Together, we can make a difference in the lives of those with CF! Thank you for supporting the mission of the CF Foundation and GREAT STRIDES!


Thanks to everyone for your support!
