Hi my name is Tara Bills and I am an addict!

earlier this month my camera was stolen. (Don't worry I had already downloaded most of the pictures off the memory card.) Little did I know I would feel camera withdrawal. I tried using a disposable camera over Memorial Day weekend so I could document our adventures... It was Horrible! I do not have the money to go and buy a new camera any where near as good as my last, or at least that is what I thought. Today at Fred Meyer's i just decided to look at what was there. I found a little pocket camera by Samsung available in black, silver or pink. It was on sale and I had to look at the price several times. I spent 30 minutes checking it out pushing every button. The final decider was the associate telling me I could bring it back any time in the next 30 days if I decided it would not work. I LOVE MY NEW CAMERA!!!!! It is not as easy to adjust settings on as my last camera but the pictures are great. Ryana and I have been trying it out today and we both were able to take great pictures.

Wanted to share this with you guys.

Worst mom in the world!

Bryn has been home from school for 3 weeks do to a irritation in his lungs. He just got permission last Wednesday to go back to school as long as he took it easy and did not do PE or go crazy at recess. His first day back to school was a field trip to his favorite museum "The Museum of Flight." Okay first day not mellow at all. Friday was just a normal day at school. Saturday I had a brilliant idea, Lets go to the local beach at low tide and look for a few sea stars, an urchin, maybe an anemone or 2: you know nice quiet sunny afternoon as a family. NOT! It was a gorgeous day and we got there an hour before the tide was its lowest, what better to do then enjoy the beach until the tide goes out. We spent 2 and a half hours at the beach. Well it turns out that was the worst choice to make. We missed church today because Bryn is back to coughing all day long. Right now Bryn is trying to go to sleep and can't do to his cough.
I have made lots of choices as a parent that I am not proud of, but I fell the worst over this.
