And then she was FIVE (5!)

Five years ago today, you, my precious Olivia Grace, entered this world in dramatic fashion. Everyday since you have blessed our lives with your expressive zest for life, your boundless love and your infectious laughter. You are pure love and light. I adore you, my monkey girl!

Happy 5th Birthday, Liv! ♥

It seems to be becoming a birthday family tradition. Donuts at Daylight. Cake. Frosting. Sprinkles. Yummy!

Love Them Anyway.

There’s no time for regrets. Life is too short for that. Do what you feel you need to do.

Love the people around you. Love without having expectations.

Give without expecting for anything in return because that is the greatest gift a person can have.

People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway.

The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Be good anyway.

Honesty and frankness will make you vulnerable. Be honest and frank anyway.

What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway.

People need help, but may attack you if you try to help them. Help them anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.

Summer Days. Together.

Frolicking in a field. Together.

Eat a Popsicle Day. Together.

Senas on the Boulder Creek & Color Touch

My favorite apps on my phone are my photo apps. This one = Color Touch. Love it!

The pool is even better with Daddy...

Liv, our little fish. Drew, our little muncher. And, we love the pool with Daddy.

Friends ♥

Erin. Heath. Tara.

Tilly's Sweet Shop!

Happy 1st Birthday, sweet girl!

Book Club

Delicious food. Glasses of wine. Laughs. And dear, dear friends. I love Book Club.

(I especially love that these girls still accept me when I don't read the book. We have jokingly suggested that we call it "Supper Club." We missed you, Abby!)

Buddies & Twins

As Andrew gets older, he and our buddy, Cameron, are becoming quite the little pair. These two are just four days shy of being exactly one year apart. Here they are in their matching trunks. (Thanks to Sara!)

Liv is blessed to have these two in her life. She adores them both! ♥

Smart Phone Games

My favorite games on my smart phone!

My app has been on the fritz, but now I'm back up and running.
