Last post! Boo hoo. It actually does make me sad...As my last post I am giving you a glimps at my family--the reason I go what I do and the reason I am who I am. I love these 3 kiddos with all my heart and being their mother is the coolest gig around!

This blog has been such a blessing to me...it has forced to see the beauty in things that are ordinary. Love it, and thankful you've all followed this and allowed me to share these photographs!

Only a few more days of this blog...kinda makes me sad!
My life is simple, my heart is sincere. The small things mean the most to me. The places I see, the people I know--they are what matter. Love this crazy, awfully beautiful life.

I adore all of my children. Each other makes me happy for different reasons (and tests my patience for different reasons, haha!) and I love them. This is me & my middle child. Ain't she cute?!

Winter winter winter. If I say it enough I'll convince myself to like it :)

There is something so beautiful about horses...My daughter loves them and I see why...they are so powerful but so delicate. So big but so beautiful. Just awesome...

December 14th, 2011

Half way thru my last month of this year long blog...wow, it's gone fast!

I am so blessed to have been on this journey and to be forced to look around me for the beautiful things I usually miss...today the beauty in the snow is not lost on me...I love the clean, sparkly look of snow. Love that there is nothing better than sledding down a hill in snow. Love that it forces you to slow down and sit. Love it.

Sheep are adorable. They are kinda dirty when you get close up but from far away they are cute!

Such a beautiful simple thing--frost on wheat. But I thought this turned out so cool!

My sweet daughter is 7 going on 17. She wants so badly to be a Veterinarian so she can care for horses when she is older. She has the sweetest spirit!
