A "Baby's" Best Friend

I have posted once about my husband's "baggage" before we got married. That "baggage" is now my little ones best friend. Our first year of marriage this dog ate everything of MINE from shoes, purses and even the Easter Ham. Yes I said Ham. He got it off the counter somehow and ate the whole thing. As many times as I have wanted to get rid of him I am glad we didn't. My little one LOVES this dog. She always hugs him and attempts to give kisses. I used the word attempt because mommy steps in before the slobbery tongue engulfs her face :) This morning I could not peel the two of them from the door. They just sat side by side looking outside both wanting to go out and explore the world.

My Baby Love Turned ONE!!

I can't believe it has already been a year. Yes I was one of those moms who started planning her 1st birthday when she was 5 months old. Even though she wouldn't remember it I wanted her party to be perfect down to the detail. And it was...... Thanks to all my family and friends that came to celebrate this little angel and wonderful gift from God's BIRTH.

Long Time.....I know I know.....

I have taken a little vacation from blog world due to the birth of my little one!! She is three months now and had to share some pictures! She is my world.

With Thanksgiving coming up, I wanted to post a picture of what we enjoy doing as a family...playing games. Because we live in different states, it's not often that cousins and aunts and uncles can get together. So, the times that we do are so special. Family is so important.

Be Still Sunday

This was a hailstorm at my parent's house this summer. The hail itself was about the size of a quarter. It damaged the roof of the cars and even cracked two window panes.

Mid-life crisis at Age 26!!!!

So I believe my husband is going through a mid-life crisis at the age of 26!! The reason I say this is because one Saturday he went a bought a boat!! Yes that is right. I said A BOAT! I thought he was crazy. Now I do appreciate the fact that he wouldn't get it unless I was okay with it. I was very hesitant at first although he did make a good point that if we wait until after we have children then it may be a long time before we could get one. (which I didn't have a problem with!!) But hey...life is too short and you only live once. I said why not. Now after the fact it is said and done.....BOY DO I LOVE IT!!!!!
