my sweet, adorable nephew turned 3 back in january and i had so much fun with him and his beautiful mama ( my sis-in-law) roaming around taking pictures, he was so such a little ham for me!  he is obsessed with anything to do with fire engines, maybe he’ll be a fireman just like his daddy!  love you ryder!

whenever you see jamie, she ALWAYS has a smile on her face, always has and still does!  this gorgeous mother of two beautiful daughters was diagnosed with stage III breast cancer back in 2005 and beat it and was cancer free as of 2010, but is now in another fight of her life, pancreatic cancer.  jamie is on her road to beating this fight too, gloves on and all!  i will NEVER forget the day i received the call from jamie back in november, as she sat in her hospital room from just being diagnosed (still unknown of her prognosis, treatments and surgeries that were to come).  at that moment all she could think of was wanting to have pictures….memories….of her and her girls!  not even 48hrs after being discharged, we met up and did just that!!!!

jamie, you are the true definition of strength, i am in awe of your courage and spirit!  you are not only an inspiration to those two amazing girls of yours, taryn and maesyn but too us ALL!!!!  i love you sweet girl!!!

please follow jamie and her fight through her amazing blog HERE, jamie’s journey…fighting to survive!
