love moments like these...

I love moments like these where I can capture the relationship between
Ashlyn and Colton. 

These moments are happening more often but I am learning to relish in the moment and enjoy it without always thinking I need to run for the camera. {although who am I kidding the camera is usually by my side almost all the time} Ash & Colt are 18 months apart. I love this age difference, although it keeps me on my toes and very busy. 

See this is what happened next... sweet and cuddly quickly
turn into love wrestling...

I was 3 years older than my brother Michael. We are very close and I cherish our relationship so much. Because of when our birthdays fell we never attended high school together. Although that was a blessing in disguise, I then wished that we would have. So I knew when we had children I wanted them to be closer in age....Dreams really do come true! So in love with Life! 

So I mentioned that Michael and I did not go to high school together and that is was a BLESSING in DISGUISE... Let me just remises and remind you why.... I went to Moreau Catholic High School in Hayward. Michael went to Washington in Fremont. Michael dated a girl named Ashley Wittmer. Michael & Ashley tried and tried to get me to meet this boy named Eric Wittmer. Well I finally gave in... Eric and I met. Spend a week in Yosemite camping with our families {a trip that was planned before Eric and I were even thought of} First kiss under the stars in Yosemite {both of our favorite places} A hike to Half -Dome with Michael, Ken {my now FIL} Eric and I. A few Rook games later and been together ever since. Dated for four years before getting officially engaged. Although we were seriously committed way before then... I knew the first week we were together he was going to be My Husband, My Everything. I became Mrs. Wittmer June 24, 2006. The BEST day of my life! Had our beautiful Ashlyn Ra Marie March 10, 2008. Another BEST day of my life. Had our son Colton Michael Kenneth September 2, 2009. Yep you guessed it Another BEST day of my life! Awe... what a love story. There have been bumps and bruises on the way but filled with a whole lot of love, laughter and memories that I hope to never forget! That was fun... thanks blog journal... xoxo
