toes in water

Little girl had the adventure of sticking her toes in the lake. She didn't like it much, but have no fear because I made sure we worked on the issue of not liking water. She is in love with palying in the water now. If she is an Aurand girl she loves the water. More to come on that.

Father day Ryan's side.

Fathers day was a long day. We made a cookout, a visit to my parents, and then a trip up to the lake. It made for an interesting day of Photo's.

Four Generations

Ryan's Step Dad collects civil war memorabilia.

Fathers day 2009

So much fun. Loving Daddy. Chasing bubbles. Playing with cousin Sophia. This was at Grandma and Grandpa Sharpee's house for a cook out. What a fun day.

Computer overload.

Abby and Trinity best of Friends. :)

I am trying to catch up with all my computer tasks. WOW! Is all I can think to say. I am truly amazed at the things I have missed out on, the reasons I NEED my computer, and all the daunting tasks to catch up on. Some of them are not a must, but I really enjoy the blogging thing. The whole time without a computer I kept thinking of ideas on blogging this and blogging that. Plus it is fun to follow other blogs too.

In my backyard

Just a few things I found in my backyard. My Irises.

A very pretty Rhododendron Bush.

Abby Chewing on a stick. If she is not doing this then she is chasing chipmunks up our down spouts. It's very entertaining.

My very over grown bench. Whenever I get this done, it will be my favorite spot.

All my veggies are coming up!

This is technically in my front yard.

It's a definite challenge to get outside and work. I take Trinity with me but she now is putting grass in her mouth. She choked and vomited some up the other day. This is too bad, because she loves to be outside with me. For now it has to be when she has my undivided attention. The garden will wait for me.

Cousin Fun

First touch of sand.

Beach fun. Trinity was a little over due for a nap so she snuggled with dad on the blanket.

Cousin Sophia playing in the sand.

Sophia and Trinity are having so much fun growing up together. They had a lunch date and then back to the house for lot's of hugs and kisses.

Trinity's face just craps me up!

mother day

Who wouldn't want to be a mom!

Well I had my first mothers day this year. I don't really know if I am supposed to feel any different or special. I don't. It was just another day. Due to the fact that my daughter is only 7 months old doesn't qualify me as a seasoned mother yet. I don't feel as though I deserve any recognition yet. It seems that those mothers that have two children, or are traveling in the teen era need the glory. I'm just taking care of my baby. Really just adjusting to the whole thing still.


We managed to spend the day at the lake house with some family. It was too cold for anything outside, but was still a relaxing scene overlooking the lake. A grill out and and some mother day gifts. It doesn't get any better than that. I ended up receiving a plant, some new stamps from hero art, and a stepping stone for my garden. I also managed to get a large Chi late from Starbucks. Thanks Ryan! Man I miss those. One of the many things I do without now as a mother. I see it as well worth the sacrifice though. It just makes it more special when I do get one. Okay I have to stop talking about it. I'm really starting to crave one now. My mind is already thinking of ways to get one tomorrow. That's terrible.

Some of my gifts

My mommy made me this card.

Isn't it cute!

Having fun with Grandma!

Last but not least. My church viewed this video of "The Mom Song". It hilarious. watch it and enjoy.
