I am lucky to call myself a wife, a mother to six amazing children. I am passionate about helping educate people about Albinism. I love Africa, especially Ethiopia. I love the culture and the people. I love to take a few good photos, I love to see my children thriving and happy and I love my life, although at times might seem a bit chaotic to some. It seems as though I am happiest with many things to do. I love a good remodel or painting project. I love to turn a house into a "home". I love the thought of returning to Ethiopia to live and do service one day.
Our adoption story...Thoughts and photos to remember our amazing journey to Ethiopia to bring our girls home! We arrived just before Christmas, 2007. Six amazing, unique children all under one roof!
Here we go.....Can we do it......Yes we can! How in the world does such a sweet cake come out like this! It's pretty fun to see the progress and the endless things you can create! We love you Addy and had so much fun making your princess cake!
What does my teenage son spring on me? Mom, me and my friends want to go and get dinner and go to the temple. After that we might meet up at our schools volleyball game. Is that okay?
Wow, do I love this boy and his amazing soul. He never ceases to amaze me. Look out world, he is coming!
Addy was squealing with excitement to get on the bus for her first day of kindergarten! It's always bitter sweet to send your babies off to kindergarten. Hoping that they are happy and filled with the joys and wonders of the world! I think she was for sure! It was a really great day for her!
I love the excitement of a third grader who lays his outfit out days before school is to begin. The rehearsal of the day in his mind. The wonder of lunch and recess. The "my tummy kind of hurts". I treasure these sweet moments. And especially the posing on the front porch. I'm not to sure the older kids love it, but it's tradition! This year brings preschool, kindergarten, third grade, ninth grade, eleventh grade and sophmore in college. Good garbage, bring on the botox!
