Shalayne Mayfield Photography

If you haven't seen Shalayne's amazing photography, I am sorry...but now you can. She is the most amazing photographer/artist/inspirationalist I have ever met. She took what seemed like simple moments in our lives and turned them into the most amazing pieces of art that I will cherish for a lifetime. I can't say THANK YOU enough for your work with our family.


She photographed us on Saturday and the rest should be done in about 2 weeks. I really don't think I can wait much longer.


I know some people may be offended by me being topless and on an open highway but I find it beautiful, and not because it is me. You can see her talent shine though in this picture. She found a way to capture me that shows my strengths and weaknesses at the same time. I have worked hard and dedicated many, many hours to training for triathalons. I am far from being a triathalete but I do work hard. I will never be the best but I am far from the worst. My achievements in athletics make me proud because they are things I am told I can't and shouldn't do. I push myself through more than most people can imagine just to finish. I refuse to let anyone tell me I can't, so I do. This is something that I am truly proud that I do and she captured my beauty, my little rolls and all...



This is what we do most. We hang out in bed, not always topless, and watch TV, play games, read books and much more. It our family time and we bond the most in our room, in our bed. As well all know, this is where it all started for most those little munchkins. I love the way this looks. I say this because they are mine, I truly believe I have the most beautiful, amazing family. I believe each of us brings something different to our family and that is what makes us....well, US.

The Biggest Little Cowboy

Yes, my kid loves Mutton Bustin'. Since he was old enough to speak he has asked each year if he could particpate in the event during Sutton County Day. Well, this year he was old enough and he couldn't stand the wait.




At 9:30 this morning about 18 kids and their parents met at the rodeo arena for the BIG event.




For those of you who may not know, Mutton Bustin' is riding a sheep much like a bull or bronc, but for little kids. Particpants have to be at least 4 years old and no more than 50 or 55 pounds.




I believe he was one of the youngest particpants this year and he did awesome, more than awesome...Weston made the top 6 and will compete on Friday, June 24th at 7:30 p.m. on the first night of the Sutton County Days Rodeo.




Way to go Weston Keyes Fisher!!!!!!!!
