Happy Birthday Tyler

Today my only child turns 7 years old!  

It seems like only yesterday I was holding him in my arms for the very first time.

What a joy he has been.

Over the past seven years he has been my best and most willing (most of the time) model. 

He smiles on cue, and if he sees a camera pointed at him he immediately pauses and smiles!

I have trained him well....

He loves everything and everyone.  He is truly a gift in more ways than one.

Today I would like to take a moment to thank my sister Leslie who helped us achieve the

unbelievable gift we call parenthood by financing the many in-vitro treatments.

So, thank you Leslie!

And Happy Birthday to my one and only!

I love you Tyler!

You are a joy and I am proud to be your mommy!

Happy Birthday Colby!!!

I want to wish my nephew, Colby Scott Charlesworth, 

a very happy 9th birthday!

Colby was born in Germany on April 11, 2002 to Allan and Wynter Charlesworth.

We didn't get to meet Colby until he was about 10 months old.

But we were lucky enough to spend almost a year with him, his sister and mom while his dad was deployed.

Colby, we love you so much and we hope you have a fantastic birthday!

Happy Birthday Hayli!!!

I would like to wish my sweet little niece a Happy Birthday.

Hayli Brianna Charlesworth was born on March 30, 1999 in Tacoma Washington to Wynter and Allan Charlesworth.

She has always had a beautiful smile, a sparkle in her eyes and a feisty personality     (I like to think she gets that from me).

Today my little Hayli turns 12 years old and I wanted to share a few photos of her!  

The first three photos were taken at her very first photo shoot where we changed her into many different outfits.  She was a great sport right from the start.

Where has the time gone?

We love you Hayli!

Happy Birthday!
