I have had so much fun with the kids this Summer. We have dove Roatan waters, boated the snake river, ririe and island park, kayaked, hiked, floated a mattress down the Falls, climbed trees, gone on bike rides, traveled to California, etc. etc. Life is fulfilling....I will miss them when our schedule returns to school activities on Monday...on to the next adventure!

Fun Day with the kids...

My sweet Aidan...exploring above Kelly Canyon

Handsome Hunter and his guitar

Beautiful Kjira with eyes that melt every boys heart

Kjira and hannah the clowns...mud covered feet

The whole bundle...barefoot girls are true Africans

Photography is my passion. Whether it be in the woods or in the ocean, I feel more complete with camera in hand, recording beauty - that I may perhaps share it with someone.

I took this photo of the yahoos...a typical day in our lives!! We pride ourselves in being spontaneous and adventurous. If we're not geocaching, we're kayaking or exploring...spending the night at Ririe...floating mattresses down the Snake River...saran wrapping mattresses to car roofs...sledding off rooftops...working in orphanages...helping the elderly...eating dessert before dinner... Though some may think my parenting skills are dangerous and untraditional, I can honestly say I love my kids and love exploring life with them, whether it be getting in a mud fight or filling a pew in church...I love it!

I'm sure it's easy to tell that I am proud of my children. They teach me so much about life and being a better individual. Being a single mother of 7 children certainly has its challenges, but with people like these to share life with is an honor and a blessing. I am thrilled to spend eternity with them...

Kjira is the oldest in the Willis tribe. She will be 18 in november. She is one of my best friends and a blast and a half to be with. She has an awesome sense of humor and is very creative. She can make anything out of duct tape and has owned her own prom dress rental business since she was 14 - she has over 200 dresses that she rents out. Kjira loves cooking, camping, scuba, kayaking, traveling, doodeling, piano etc. She is a wonderful oldest sister to her siblings.
