Day 151: Heart Of Gold

Heart of gold; to be very kind & generous. Much appreciation to those who helped us out, with our sweet, Rubie over the weekend. We are so grateful for the help, and especially the time you took to help us.

You have a heart of gold

Day 150: Just One Of Those Days

Been doing pretty good on my caffeine intake, but I really could use some caffeine today. Frank bought me a couple Starbucks Frappucchino. Rubie is doing?! It's been a gain, then a step back process. It's so hard to really know how she is doing, but she did eat a bit last night, and has used the potty two times today. But she also vomited up bile. She hasn't really been eating today, and that is a really important thing that she needs to do. We bought some canned cat food, and that didn't even entice her. The Vet did mention a feeding tube, and cats can have a good recovery rate with that, but it's just costly, I assume. Some amazing friends have helped us with giving her the IV fluids, I cannot thank Ash & Stacie enough for helping with Rubie. Every time I attempted to try to give her fluids, which was only once, I almost had an anxiety attack. Something about poking something with a needle...I just can't do it. I'm not sure what the prognosis will be for Rubie, but she goes back to the vet on Monday, so hopefully we will hear better news.

Just a caffeine kind of day.

Day 149: Rubie Dubie Doo

Today we thought we were going to have to say goodbye to our sweet, yet sassy cat, Rubie. But she still has a little spunk in her, and the Veterinarian's recommendation of giving her time over the weekend to see if she improves. Her prognosis was & is not looking so good. She was diagnosed with liver failure. They said it would take her going to an emergency pet clinic in Traverse City, and would have to be on IV's & meds for 24/7 which would cost at the start of $1,000.00, and we just don't have that. the only option we had as good pet parents was to put her down. We had to wait until 2:00 pm as the Vet got an emergency call. So we get there, and our neighbor was there, and she gave me her condolences, and a big hug, and had tears in her eyes. I really needed that hug, thanks neighbor. We go over her blood work, and it shows that she has no infection, her immune system is fine. It's just her levels of her liver were sky high, and was also showing gallbladder issues, which means a possible blockage. They talked about surgery so feeding tube can be inserted, and a bunch of other stuff. My mind was just not in the right place to hear everything they said. They did tell us that she's must have projectile vomited because of the way it ended up all over the cage, said it was mostly bile. I told them I did some research on liver failure in cats, and noticed that some cats have this problem after a food change. That some cats get picky & don't eat, and then they lose weight, and that can cause "Fatty Tissue Disease". But she said that the test results weren't looking like it was caused by that, but by a toxin instead. She asked us if she could have gotten in to anything. We said no, but then I said it's possible because she did roam the house but we didn't have anything toxic out. She asked about possibly her finding a decaying mouse, or something. We said, no, as we never had a mouse problem until the boys opened the window with out a screen, and one got in. LOL

All that we did was switch her food. I should have known to look in to this sooner, because I did notice a little weight loss with her last week, but thought it was due to switching foods & maybe her not getting enough calories. We did notice that Rubie & Ollie weren't eating all of their food. I started doing some research on the food that we switched them to, and was finding reports of other animals getting sick while eating this food. Where many claims of their pet having liver & kidney failure. Ironic?! I'm not sure? Could it be the food making her sick? Or did she just get finicky, and just stop eating the food, and that is what got her sick? Hard to say, but supposedly it's due to a toxin.....Hmmmmm. We threw out the "Good" food, and went back to the old.

They gave us some time to be with her to say our goodbye's, and I wanted to get some photos. It was so hard to see her be all lovey, and walk around, acting like she was feeling better. But the prognosis wasn't good, and we didn't want her to suffer, so this was the only thing we could do. The Vet's came in with the needle, but was watching her, while she talked. She said, she never likes to do this but she is second guessing herself. She said that Rubie was acting so much better than she had all day, and that maybe we could try to see how she would do over the weekend on IV fluids, a Vitamin B shot, and an appetite inducing pill. $45.00, how could we not try? Plus, they said it would be nice for the kids to be able to say goodbye, too. One Vet said, today is not her day. She fought like hell when they gave the pill, I mean fought!! I never seen her have so much fight, so that was a good sign too. We got her home, and set her up in the bathroom so we can observe her, and she started nibbling on some food, and took a drink of water, so that is really good. Now I just hope she uses the potty soon. A good friend came by and helped us with giving her the IV fluids since I don't do well with needles, and Frank was getting frustrated. Hopefully the rest of the fluid will be easy to get into her. I pray that she pulls out of this!! She was a healthy plump girl before. She lost about 3.5 pounds, so not as much as I thought, but that is still a lot for a cat. I will remain hopeful for Rubie, and I just feel so horrible. I just had to switch their food. I just had to wait longer to get her in. I know, don't blame yourself, but it's hard not to. I am so thankful that there was a change in events to our day. So very thankful for more time with our Rubie Dubie!

Rubie Dubie Doo......

Day 148: SQUIRRELS!!!

Had the dogs outside today, and this squirrel was getting a little to close to Sarge, and he kept coming in closer! I went over cause Sarge would have ate him, and was taking him inside, and the squirrel started following me!!! I hurried the dogs inside, cause I knew he was a baby, and knew they can be curious, and go right up to pets, and people. You should have seen how excited I was!! :D My friend, Amy got some amusement out of it, I'll admit, I was being pretty pathetic. Hahaha!! Well the little guy ran off, and I was watching him to see where he was off to......I really wanted him!! LOL I soon discovered a whole nest of baby squirrels!!!!!!! Oh, the happy dance I was dancing. I counted 5, little babies!!! They are SO darn cute to watch!!!! The squirrel that was residing in our bird house took off, and I have seen it come around. I was super bummed when I knew baby squirrels, were not going to come out of there this Summer. :(   So this made my day!!! Baby squirrels!!!! Oh!!! I have a baby bunny that has been stopping in the mornings too.....Can't forget the chippy's, too!

SQUIRRELS!!!!!!

Day 147: Lilies Of the Valley

So tiny, so beautiful, yet so poisonous. The Lily Of The Valley. Only, 2 plants had blooms on them, I think that's one up from last year. I just moved them around in my garden too, so I was happy to see that they sprouted. I'd love a whole lot of these beauties in my garden. Plus where I have them planted it is hard to get a good photo. Oh well, I tried. I thank my Husband for being my mosquito watcher while I tried to get some pics. They are getting bad!

Lilies of the Valley

Day 146: Balloon Release For Scott

Today was Scott's Birthday so we had a balloon release for him. People from all over were invited to send a birthday balloon to Scott today. Ray & Josh stopped out, and then after we had already released our balloons, Ash, Liam & Jax show up! They released their balloons in the yard, Jaxon's got stuck in a tree, but it made it's way out. I appreciate you all that stopped out, and joined us. :) Scott, you are missed so very much by a lot of people. May you feel the love today.

Scott's Balloon Release 2015

Day 145: Memorial Day 2015

Thank-You to all the Heroes who gave their lives, and to the ones who were injured and hurt, or who are missing. The sacrifices you made will never be forgotten. Please take the time out of your day to pause for a moment of silence, and think of those who have given their life, and sacrificed everything for our freedom. May their families find peace, and honor today.

Freedom isn't Free

Day 144: Inch By Inch

Kwintyn found a inch worm today, and he really liked him. He called it Wormy. Took this photo with my iPod, not to bad of a pic if I do say for a close up. Today we went up and visited Grandma, and had a nice little visit with her. We then went grocery shopping, and just lounged around at home, had dinner, and then a few neighbor kids stopped over to play with the kids. The mosquitos are now getting bad. Really wasn't much of a nuisance a few days ago, but now they are getting bad. Same thing happened last year, and it literally happened over night. Time to start getting some repellant.

Wormy!

Day 143: Friends

We had a few friends stop over that we haven't seen in a long time!! Friday we had Tom stop, then Saturday we had Ryan stop. Was so nice to see them!! It's been a while since we seen them, was so great to see them. Later that evening we went over to Boyne City and met up with some new friends. I befriend the coffee lady a while back, they had stopped over a few weeks ago, and today they invited us over to their place. Had a great time, and I was asked to take some photos of his bike, so we went down to the lake to get some pics. I felt rushed as the sun was setting, so I would like to get another photo shoot with his bike so I don't feel so rushed, and I feel like I didn't get much details of his bike. Guess it's another reason to go hang out. :)

Bike shot at the lake

Day 142: Happy Birthday!

Today is a special day, it's my Nephew's birthday, and Sarge's birthday!! This Summer will be 3 years since Sarge has joined our family. We got him when he was just 2 years old, and today he is 5!! I still need to get him a birthday treat, but he did get half of Kwintyn's cheeseburger, so that was kinda a treat for him. He didn't really want his picture taken either. LOL

Birthday Boy!

Day 141: I Like You & Naps

Ahhh, baby snuggles, something about a sleepy baby makes me sleepy myself. I ended up taking a nap, too! LOL Frank had Kwintyn & Chelsea outside playing, the quiet got to me. Kwintyn came inside and well, if you know Kwin he isn't quiet.....Ok. so he is quiet around most everyone, but it's not his true nature. Hahaha But he awoke Me & Jaxon.......How rude!! I should have just stayed awake because I awoken and felt even more tired than I was before. Oh well. I got baby snuggles today. He was kinda clingy today, and Frank wanted to hold him, and usually they are good buddies, and he prefers Frank over me sometimes, but not today! He cried when Frank would hold him, Frank was bummed that his buddy wasn't digging him today. Usually Frank hogs the baby! Hahaha! He's not to fond over other people's babies, never really has been a baby person. But there are 2, special boys who won his heart over, and this little guy is one. :) We enjoy our time with him, and I like that I can spoil, cuddle, and then give him back!!

I like you & naps <3

Day 140: La Vie Est Une Fleur Dont I' Amore Est le Miel

Life is the flower for which love is the honey. ~ Victor Hugo~  One of my daisies. It even has a heart on it!! <3

La vie est une fleur dont I' amore est le miel translation: Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Day 139: Crazy Like A Coconut

Been wanting to do the whole coconut oil thing, but I got the wrong kind. I was in a hurry so I didn't read much. I got the refined kind, and I wanted the unrefined. I found some cheaper from where I get some of our vitamins, but until then I will use this on my feet as a moisturizer. My feet are super dry, and not even the really good food creams are doing that great. It's weird, it's just on my arches of my feet, the rest in not dry. I slathered some oil on my feet and put some socks on so hopefully it will help. I did try doing some oil pulling as well, but I think I want to wait till I get the unrefined oil. I did put a little on my face, and then washed it off, and I *think* it's helping. My breakouts have gotta a little better in some spots. My face is being horrible again. I was hoping the DE would help, but it has done wonders for my nails! Looking in to some more supplements & vitamins & minerals, too. Taken with my iPod.....that thing comes in handy!

Day 138: That Way, Good Sir!

Finally a nice day on a Monday, so the boys could play outside!! Kwintyn was a bit grumpy when he first got here but then had some fun......or maybe he was a little bossy?! Kwin loves this truck, but it just does not go anymore, guess that's a Chevy for ya. Gotta push it to go......like a rock alright, rocks don't move! ;) Hahahaha!! Don't get your panties in bunch, Chevy fans. I hear all the Ford stuff, too. Can't take it, don't dish it. :P LOL But anyways....I look up, and see the boys playing together, and hear Kwin say, "Go that way!" I just shook my head. Oh, son!! Sorry, kid. We're not royalty. LOL

Go this way!

Day 137: Worker Appreciation

Frank was invited to an appreciation night at Jay's Sporting Goods tonight. They had this appreciation night for all of the people who worked at getting the new store constructed. I thought that was really nice of them to do. So we got to browse the store, and do a little shopping, and they had finger foods from different local vendors there. I tried this chocolate bacon thing, which was like pizza dough with bacon inside, kinda like a pinwheel style, with chocolate drizzle & powdered sugar on it, and Oh, it was amazing!! They also had something that I am just really excited about that is coming to Gaylord, a Cop's & Doughnuts will be opening sometime around the end of August!!! We really needed a coffee, and doughnut shop on this side of town...which is closer to me. :D And I got the hook up from  Alan, the VP. On my birthday, since I said I LOVE donuts, and actually prefer them over cake & cupcakes, he said to come in to the store, and present show his business card, and say that this guy said that I can pick ANYTHING from the display, and it will be his treat!!! 35, is looking pretty sweet!!! :D I'm actually excited now for my birthday. :) Frank & I got to do this all kid free, Grandma was nice to watch the kids for us. Was nice to get out with out the kids for a change.

New Stores

Day 136: Hello, May!

I know it's May 16th, a few weeks in to May already, but everything is in bloom!! We went to Bellaire today for a late Mother's Day with my Mother in Law, and she also had a party for my Father in Law so was a little party over there for all of that. They live about 40 minutes away, and everything over there is a little ahead of schedule for blooms over there. But it's always a little warmer over there and they don't live directly in the snow belt of Michigan. :) Today was beauty ful out!! It was nice because we had a lot of rain this week, and we are looking to get some more so was nice to enjoy the sunshine again. My Mother in Law always takes me to the flower shop, and lets me pick out a few flowers for Mothers Day. My flowers in my garden consist mostly of Mother's Day flowers. <3 Today I picked a Fuchsia, a Cone Flower, a Begonia, and an Impatiens. Love the color of the Begonia!! Sucks that they are annuals. Know I have to do some research & see if some of the others I planted are annuals. Kids played at the stream with boats, and Chelsea caught a frog. I didn't get a picture of that but I guess she brought it in to show Grandpa, and it jumped out at him, kids thought that was funny. Had a good day. :)

Hello, May!

Day 135: Sweet Treats

Had a craving for ice cream, so we go to Culvers. I was told that they can make the older flavor of the day. Well sometimes they can, but they didn't have what Frank & I wanted. Bonfire Smore's & Blueberry Cheesecake. So the kids got some frozen custard, the flavor of the day....Kit Kat swirl. Frank & I then go to Tim Hortons & get ourselves a coffee treat instead a Iced Cappuccino Supreme, and a Iced Mocha Supreme. Boys are either at a friends or working so they missed out. Took this pic with my iPod, which is handy for pics like this. So not the best, but I'm trying to learn how to hold it & get a good grip of it. I'm not used to something so small, and where you look through the screen. hahaha!

Sweet treats

Day 134: Throwback Thursday!

I haven't done a throw back in a while so I thought, why not? I went looking through some photos on my computer....which there are thousands to choose from. But Oh Kwin's face. LOL!!! And look how bald he was! hahaha! I showed him these photos, and I said Do you know who that is? He said, "Yeah, it's me when I was a baby." "I was crying?!" I said, Yep, you where. He then said, "I didn't have any hair!!" I then busted out laughing because that was my first thought too, look how bald you were kid!! Hahaha These were taken July 21st 2012, so he was 19 months old.

Throwback Thursday, Kwintyn 19 months old...and still a handful!

Day 133: Lost & Found

Been finding my lost marbles lately, and I've been adding them to my Fairy Garden. They look oh, so lovely there. What fairy wouldn't want marbles in her garden? I can't want to start adding to it, I really need to go to Hobby Lobby.....it's just I know I will spent more money if I do go! Haha! Will be a fun Summer project for me & the kids. My little garden is just a growing like crazy! My bleeding heart has grown SO much since we had all this rain, it is getting pretty tall, and even started to bloom little hearts!! Belle's Trillium is in full bloom, with a little dirt on it....adds character. ;) This Trillium has bloomed every year in the same spot since we buried her there. It popped up that following Spring, and it has bloomed every year. We also hung my wind chime today, that was a part of my Mother's Day gift. I also got some birds seed, and the birds, squirrels, chipmunks, & bunnies are liking that. I also got a couple outdoor solar lights, I wanted garden stuff. I also got chocolate, and a few hand made card s from Chelsea, and she gave me some hand sanitizer., it's Bath & Body Works. They know me well. :)

My neck of the woods

Day 132: The Perks Of Being A Wallflower

Ho hum. Just one of those days.

                                 The perks of being a Wallflower

Day 131: Rainy Day Monday's

I swear every time I baby sit on Mondays it rains. Would be nice to get the boys outside to play on one of these Mondays!

Rainy days

Day 130: Happy Mothers Day!

Happy Mothers Day to all the Mom's out there. I hope that you had a loving, peaceful day. Yesterday I saw a post on Facebook that was really an eye opener for me, and I really didn't know the history behind Mothers Day. Mothers Day was founded by Anna Jarvis in 1908, whom held a memorial for her mother. Her mission was to honor her own mother by continuing work she had started, and to set aside a day to honor mothers. Anna's Mother, Ann Jarvis was a peace activist who cared for wounded solders on both sides of the Civil War and addressed public health issues.  Mothers Day took off and Anna then became resentful of the commercialization and was angry that companies would profit from the holiday. The holiday she worked so hard for that was suppose to be about sentiment and not profit. Jarvis' intention for the holiday was for people to appreciate and honor mothers by writing a personal letter, by hand, expressing love & gratitude instead of buying gifts or pre-made cards. So that is a little history of Mothers Day, now to the real eye opener. The post I read had mentioned some history about how Mothers Day was founded. The woman who had posted this also mentioned that she stood in the store, in the card section and there is an abundance of Mothers Day cards. Cards for Mom, Grandma, Great-Grandma, Wife, Sister, Mother in Law, Aunt, you think they have everyone covered right?! But they don't. They don't have cards for bereaved mothers on mothers day, not a single one. Think about that....Have you ever seen a card for a bereaving mom in the Mothers day section? I have never. This woman had twins and they were born just to early and they passed, and this would be her first Mothers Day. My heart shattered for this MOM! How could they forget the most amazing Moms out of all of us?! I cannot even begin to imagine what they endure everyday, it requires incredible strength to be a bereaved mom I would assume, and the pain of heart ache that you feel all the time. A part of you is gone forever. How could these Moms get forgotten?! Is it just to sad? Nobody likes talking about it as if the child's name would bring heart ache. But maybe, sometimes hearing their name can be sweet music to their ears as well. I don't know, I can't say. But my heart goes out to all the bereaving Mamma's out there.

I want to say Happy Mothers Day to all of the wonderful Mom's that I love. It's always nice to talk to another Mama. :) Love your babies, love yo' mama's. :D

Happy Mothers Day!!

Day 129: This Way, People Can See Every One Of Our Spring Flowers.

Things are a popping & a blooming in my garden. I don't have many flowers, but I get more every year so hopefully my garden will be plentiful in a few years. I only have a few of these hyacinths that pop up along with a few garden of the valleys. Such tiny flowers, but so pretty. My bleeding hearts are sprouting just wonderful, so by the end of May I suspect that I will have some blooms. I love beautiful gardens, I could spend a whole day just taking photos of flowers. It's actually kinda therapeutic for me. I'm still on squirrel watch, and I am happy to report that she is still in the bird house! So now I am pretty sure she has a nest of babies up there. ~HaPpY dAnCe~ hahahaha I told the kids to stay away from that area but they just aren't as excited ad I am. LOL I will have to pull out my 75-300mm lens to get some good up close pics, but still stay at a good distance. Yep, my life is that exciting!! No wonder we are all nuts here. :D

This way, people can see every one of our spring flowers. ~ Benno Dobbe~

Day 128: Nuts About You

We have a guest!!! Finally after years....eleven or ten to give a time frame of this bird house being empty we have a squirrly occupying the space. This squirrel has been around all Winter as I admired his big furry gray tail. He was a plump lil guy, too. I'd see him somewhere in the woods or near our house almost everyday, and this is one of the squirrly's that "stole" some fleece material from a chair that is in our trailer for the dump. So Kwintyn & I really enjoyed watching him all Winter. Well I'm re-thinking the "He" thing....I think it's a She. I think she has made a nest in there, and might have given birth, or will be soon? I don't know much about squirrels so I don't know what this squirrel's behavior means, but I think it means babies. I noticed her out there in the bird house at 7:00am, and was still in there at 11:00am, and just shortly after that she was on top on the bird house. (Pic B) I never seen a squirrel lay like this, and with their tail flat like that. She layer there like that for a while, and then went back in to the house, and sat like (Pic A) again. She was sitting like (Pic A) all day, or she would be inside the box where you couldn't see her. I scared her off by walking over to the bird house, I didn't want to scare her, but I wasn't sure if it was injured. But she climbed out and up the tree she went so I knew she wasn't hurt and her tail was fluffy & curvy again. I was sad that I scared her off, but I had a feeling she would be back, and yep, she is.  I was so excited to see her back again, Frank said I was nuts....I literally got all giggly & jumped up & down. Hahaha!! It's exciting, I love watching these little guys.

 When I tell people we have squirrels in the yard they all say to shoot them. I say why?! Cause they can ruin your house. Well so far we haven't had any problem with squirrels trying to ruin the house, not even mice get in! Ok, so there was this one time a mouse got in.....no thanks to the boys!!! A mouse got stuck in the window well and so what do they do?! Open the window, that had no screen. So that sent the cats off, and Rubie ended up catching it,and bring it upstairs, and when I screamed at her, she dropped it, and it laid there looking dead....it wasn't dead. It darts off again and finally I caught it, and let it loose outside. LOL!!! Ran off....you're welcome, Mouse. So I ain't gonna kill it. If you know me, I am not a Hunter just not my thing as I am such a girly girl and hate getting my hands dirty, but I have nothing wrong with it as I was brought up with many Hunters in the family. So nothing against Hunters, okay. :) I just failed that test with my Dad. And I just can't kill anything that I think is so darn cute!!!! I only shoot with my camera. ;)

Day 127: Brazilian Lemonade

OMG......this stuff is SO good!! I found my new Summer beverage, Brazilian Lemonade. Pretty day to make as well, and oh it's so tasty! If you like limes, then this drink is for you. The only bummer about this drink is that is doesn't last long, and it doesn't sit well either. The first glass I had was just amazing, the second was much more bitter, but I did read that it will get more of a bitter flavor the longer it sits. So this would be a great drink to make for a group of people so it can get consumed right away. I just have been adding more of the sweetened condensed milk to sweeten it up a bit more, and you can add to your taste as well. Kwintyn really didn't like it to much, and it was very bitter when the boys got to it, but Keagan seemed to like it anyways, and Chelsea & Kyle haven't tried it yet....so I gotta make more now. :) I found the recipe on Pinterest, via a blog named; My mom taught me to play with my food.

Brazilian Lemonade

Day 126: Pre-School!!

Today I went and enrolled Kwintyn in to Pre-school!!! Ahhh!!!! He seems excited, and wants to go now. Last year he would get so upset if you just mentioned school to him, he would cry & get so upset and say he didn't want to go so we waited a year, and I am glad we did. I just can't believe he is old enough to start school, granted it's just pre-school but this is a building block for his education. I found out I was pregnant when Chelsea was in Pre-school, so this is just bittersweet. Chelsea will be going to a new school this next fall, so this is her last year in elementary school. I'm gonna be bawling this fall, I just know it.....where does the time go?! Where did my baby go?!

Mr. Big Boy!!

Day 125: A Flower Does Not Think

A flower does not think of competing with the flower next to it. It just blooms. ~Zen Shin~ A beautiful bloom from my garden. I got things popping up now, and growing bigger everyday.....LOL!!! ;) And the trees have little buds on them! Yay!!! Spring really is here!!

So pretty!!

Day 124: A Little Sweetness for Your Monday.

It's Monday again, and you know what that means?! Sweet baby cuddles!! I don't know what I am going to do when I stop babysitting him, I am going to be so sad. He's gonna be moving soon, and I would be out of the way as a sitter. I will miss his brother too, but I spend more time with this little guy because I watch him more so I am a little attached to this cutie pie! After his nap, and our dinner we went on a walk. I bundled him up a little excessive, a jacket, a winter hat, and a blanket. I'm sure he would have been fine with just the jacket. I took his hat off for some pics, we stopped and let the kids play on the green, they like rolling down the little hill so I snapped pics of the baby. I just hope his Mama will let me take his 1st year pics, as I have a session planned already!! Hahaha! It will be my treat. :) So enjoy this little bit of sweetness on your Monday.

Day 123: Lazy Sunday

Today was a lazy Sunday, well for me anyways. Frank worked for a bit today, and Kwintyn, & I lounged outside soaking up the sun. Chelsea spent the night at her friends last night, and so did, Keagan & Kyle. So we just had Kam & Kwin for a bit. Had a wonderful surprise today, my coffee lady stopped out to visit us today. She works at the coffee shop, and well I like to tap, and come to find out our daughters are friends!! We have been saying to each other that we need to get together, and today her & her boyfriend stopped out for a visit while they were out cruising around on his bike on this beautiful day. Frank got here just in time, they were getting ready to take off, but they stuck around for a little bit. We really enjoyed having them over today, and hope to get together again sometime soon. What a wonderful weekend this has been! We had another bonfire so Chelsea could enjoy some smore's since she wasn't here. We pretty much spent the whole weekend outside so no cleaning got done, but I hear it's suppose to rain tomorrow....so I have lots to do. :)

Day 122: Bridal Shower & Bonfire

Today was a fabulous day as it was my good friend, Tammie's bridal shower. Was a lovely shower and she got a lot of wonderful gifts. The weather was also beautiful as well, you really couldn't have asked for a better day. I can't wait to see her on her Wedding day all glammed up, she is going to look so amazing! I am so honored I get to stand in her wedding as a bridesmaid!! Her colors are just so fabulous, mint green, and coral with a mix of gold. Beautyful!! After the bridal shower we had our good friend, Chris over, and had a BBQ. We had our first bonfire with smores, and the adults indulged in a Corona with lime. Was a fabulous day all around.

Day 121: Ya-Hooo! Mountain Dew!

It'll tickle your innards! Kyle found this Dew Shine at the store today.....interesting. It's alright, but I'm not much of a soda drinker. If I do have one it's a Pepsi, or a Black Cherry Dr. Pepper. Today was such a warm, beautiful day!! I got some color today sitting outside today, I REALLY needed that Vitamin D.
