I enjoyed every single moment.

I laughed.

I cried.

I gasped.

I hid my eyes in fear.

And I relished every minute with my Tara,

who I have seen all the movies with.

It is truly the end of an era.

I think I might start reading Book 1 again...

Love is patient, love is kind.
It does not envy, it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude, it is not self-seeking.
It is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.
It always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.
I Corinthians 13:4-8

Google+

A new social media obsession... Google+. I kind of love it. The downside: I only have 15 "friends." If I could only get all of my friends to migrate over from Facebook... I would never logon to the Book again. I'm a Google girl through and through... Gmail. Blogger. Google Search, Maps, etc.
I ♥ Google!

My Monkeys ♥

Buddies. Pool. Cupcakes.

I ♥ the 4th of July!

The 4th of July!

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July
Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what you're worth
~Katy Perry

Liv's 5th Birthday!

This digital slideshow created with Smilebox

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.

-Mother Theresa ♥

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.
