What We Are Willing To Do For Our Children

Without going into personal details, Hyrum was in need of an Emotional Support Animal.  After much research and introducing him to different breeds of puppies, he fell in love with this sweet Bichon.  Let me tell you why she is so special. Hyrum is not a dog person.  In fact, they used to scare him.  But after talking to him about different resources in helping him with his mental health, he felt he needed a dog.  After meeting a few breeders, this Bichon went straight to his lap and did not leave until we did.  All the puppies he met after that did nothing for him!  She still is a puppy and needs to be played with here and there but for the most part, she just wants to be in Hyrum's lap!  For the first time, in much too long of time, Hyrum is smiling again.
Meet Seiiki (Say-Key)!  It is Japanese for sanctuary.
Sometimes when Hyrum goes to bed, I'll have some Seiiki time while doing homework.  Lets just say that not much gets done with her around.  Heaven knows that I'm not a dog person.  I know they are loyal and show unconditional love better than humans but, just know I have my reasons.  But this sweet girl is changing my son's life.  I will always love her for that.  But honestly, she is melting my heart daily.  Hyrum and I both decided that we are still not dog people but we are Seiiki people!

Levi's Senior Pictures

My first born has had his Senior pictures taken.  There were many taken, and they were all amazing, but these are my favorite ones.


This one was just for fun as Sam got Levi to play around for us and get the grunge 90's look going on.
I know Sam from college.  My memories of him were of going to a dance with him and many hang out times in my apartment with my roommates.  I remember him being a great cook but more than anything, he was just dang funny!
A few days before Levi took his Senior pictures, I was talking to Levi about what he wanted to wear in his pictures.  He said he wanted to wear a flannel shirt.  After a little bit I just started laughing because I realized I had taken my Senior pictures in a flannel shirt 20 + years ago!
