C Life

I usually don't post my photo shoots on my family blog but I wanted to get the word out that there will be another photography workshop by SHOOT held on October 22nd. Contact me if you are interested and I will give you details.  

I just wanted to let you know about an amazing film I've gone to see three times(Its that good!) called The People vs. The State of Illusion. It's a wonderful documentary about stress, the mind, our perception and how they impact us.  For all of you locals its ONLY playing at Harkins Camel View.  For the rest of you out there I would definitely find out when this film will be coming to your home town. Mr. B.T.C and I took our kids last Monday night to see it and we were shocked at how much they loved it(Nathan even went to see it a second time and Wesley is begging to go back).  My kids literally look at life differently after watching this.  They (all the sudden)value their education and their ability to move through the world in a more positive way.  I love inspiring movies and this is definitely one of those. You might also want to know that it was only supposed to being showing through September 17th but has extended because of the overwhelming response.  I believe it

I decided to clean out my closet today.  I'm so glad I did!  I came across a little white piece of paper that was written and torn from a pad of paper in my hotel room.  Although it happened in 2010,  I remember it just like it happened yesterday. Without getting too sentimental I'll just say that I'm the luckiest girl ever! Now, back to that piece of paper that I found. I reads... It's Thursday morning. Although my eyes are not yet opened my mind is racing. What day is it? Thursday?!? Cereal day, Easy, I thought.  Ortho. Appt. for boys @ 9am, finish the two loads of laundry not quite finished from yesterday, dance class for the girls tonight. The last thought, scripture study 6am, jolts me into reality as I peer at the clock to make sure I haven't over slept! As the numbers begin to focus I think, wait a minute... this clock is not my clock ... this nightstand is not my nightstand ... this bed is not my bed! And then it happened,  I could hear the fai

You look like an angel. In the arms of the person she admires most! I'm blessed to have a daughter so beautiful on the inside and out. Sisters and best friends. Your brothers adore you. Britley has been anticipating this day for quite some time. She was bursting with excitement just moments before she was baptized. What a special day this has been for you! You will forever be blessed for your decision to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

During church this morning a little note was passed to me.  As I read it my heart nearly tripled in size.  Sometimes words cannot express the joy you feel when these "sweet little somethings" present themselves when least expected. Thank you Breeley!   Another one of your sweet creations that will be etched in my heart forever.

This is a very special Birthday for a very special little girl.  Britley turned eight today! She didn't want a party she just wanted to be with her family.  We let her plan her day just the way she wanted.  The very first thing she wanted to do was swim, so while Mom was preparing her favorite breakfast she jumped in the pool with her sister. Now time to open gifts.  Her Grandma and Papa prepared a special little something for her before they left town and had Mom promise to wait until her birthday before giving it to her. Sister also anxious to see what's inside. Britley thank you for allowing all of us to spend the entire day with you. Your family loves you so very much! I was delighted to photograph my beauty queen on her birthday and snap a few photographs of her in her white baptism dress for announcements. Happy 8th birthday! You are just as beautiful and pure on the inside as you are on the outside. We love you.
