The crow is back

I needed this one. Just to get back into it. I have been absent this whole year it seems to me. I have new breath. new life. new desire. I miss creating. I miss doing it by my self. It is what I have and I alone. All I need are my eyes and my mind. This is not an original composition. after all, nothing really is. This one was different.I wasn't afraid to fail. like I have been in the past~ where I only wanted to do what I knew I was good at. I took a chance, I said to hell with it. I want to try it. lucky for me, and her really, I am satisfied with taking a step. Now I am hungry to perfect.
I miss everyone. Just so you know.

First Day of School

The kids first day of school is tomorrow! They are so excited to go back.... well, sort of. Jackson has told me many times he is not excited, yet he picked out his outfit about a week ago. so funny. And the girls are sad summer is over, but secretly starving for something to do besides chores and take care of Charley! I feel bad that this summer probably really has sucked for my kids. We didn't get to do HALF of what we wanted too... mostly my fault since I started working FT. So, we roll with it, right? Life isn't all about summer... is it? Today I am not so sure. But I know they will do well in school. I love my kids so much for being willing to be alone all summer... wait... what am I saying? What kid wouldn't love to be alone ALL summer with no parental supervision??? Its not as bad as you think... atleast they cant drive. or i am sure there would be days where they went to vegas without me knowing! That is in the very near future. Anyway, just an update of whats happening around here... we are going back to school. I am sad because now I have to pay a preschool/daycare to watch my child. i HATED that when the others were growing up. Kurt will never understand that. Oh well. So - we will get some pictures (hopefully) of the big day... I am not into the photo thing these days! no time. Oh well - it is a goal to atleast get these done!! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of your summer days... my tan has more than begun to fade.... :)

Mi Familia

So back in EARLY July my side of the family had a reunion/bbq in Spanish Fork. The kids were already up in the valley visiting the grandmas and needed a ride home. So I was able to go up and pick up the kiddies AND attend the bbq. It was a fun time. I missed my kids after a few days of being gone, so we came home that night after the bbq.
Here's some picts I snagged while there. Thanks Lynn for taking the ones of all us kids. Mom- I will email them to you so you can have a copy! xoxo
