Dear Mom…Happy Mother’s Day! I hope today you realize how very much you are loved! There are simply not enough words or enough space on my blog to describe how you’ve touched my life. Your sacrifices, your love, your support, your encouragement, your faith & love of God, your high expectations, your refreshing smile or gentle touch…these are just a few things that make you so wonderful, so amazing, so appreciated, so respected and most importantly . . . so loved! Thank you for raising me to be a good person. I hope that I can live my life and make you proud of who I am. Happy Mother’s Day today and every day! Xoxoxoxo. Cassandra

Here’s just a sneak peek into the life of the wonderful woman that is my Mom . . .

I hate to brag, BUT … WOW, I had some gorgeous parents!!!!

This photo makes me smile as I think of all the Bride & Grooms that I have (and will) capture memories for. It makes me wonder if their kids will feel the same overwhelming emotions as they look back on their parent’s wedding images…hummmm????

from three kids who LOVE YOU . . . Happy Mother’s Day~!

A couple shots on pit road before the driver’s came out . . .

Here is the pace car bringing the cars around.  Notice Danica Patrick in the #1 position.  She got the pole in qualifying.

And my FAVORITE driver, Dale Jr drove the #5 TaxSlayer car in the Nationwide Race.  I took many, many, many photos of his car.  Click here to see a couple photos from last year’s Nationwide Race.

This is a photo of the Sprint Vision board.  It shows Jr’s in car camera.  I just love his gloves.  They are simply the COOLEST ever~!

Pit stop action . . .

This is right after Danica got wrecked.  Sad face.

Jr is absolutely the best drafter at Daytona.  Looks how close he gets.

At this point Jr took the lead and you can see all the fans starting to cheer.  (including me)

There were several wrecks in turn 4 near the end of the race.  Below are two photos in a series of this wreck.

Tony Stewart.  He’s awesome too.

More wrecks.

Jr got caught in that last wreck.  Sad face.

And a final wreck . . .

Race ended.  Jr heading back to the garage.
