Happy Birthday Baby~

Today is my sweet hubby's Birthday. I just wanted him to know how amazing I think he is. I love him more then words can say. He is my very best friend, he keeps me laughing everyday! Most people can not spend as much time together as we do, but I'm very glad we are not "most" people. We work together everyday, we enjoy fishing, boating, camping, shooting, hanging out with our girls and we both love to shop! We are quite a team and I am so blessed to call him my husband. Happy Birthday Gordon!

The Women In My Life ~

I am especially grateful for all the fabulous women in my life today. I have been blessed to have had so many touch my life and most of you may not even know. I have such an amazing mom who has taught me so much. I love and respect her deeply. She is beautiful inside and out! I have three of the best sisters in the world whom I look up too and love. I have friends & family that are such wonderful examples to me. I have learned so much in my years from the women who surround me now and the one's that I was blessed with for small amounts of time. I truly believe that people come in and out of our lives for a reason and I really learn something from all of my relationships, good or bad. I have learned that their is tremendous strength found in hard times and trials. I have learned that there is always going to be someone that is prettier, smarter,thinner, richer but not necessarily happier. I have learned to love my girls unconditionally for who they are and not compare them to others. I have learned to be grateful everyday for the opportunity to be married to my best friend. To appreciate and respect him. I have learned that some women will ALWAYS gossip about others, try to tear you down and find joy in others pain. (I have learned I never want to be one of those women) I have learned to love who I am right now. To enjoy the stage of life I am blessed to be in. To ignore our society that says it's not ok to like yourself for who you are. I love that I don't care what others think about me and I can't believe I ever did. I love being a women, I love having all of you in my life. I love the experiences I have had and that I have learned so much from them. I hope that all of you have a very happy Mothers day. thank you for being a part of my life. I love you all ~

Haylie recital ~

Haylie had her piano recital today. She did such a great job, we are very proud of her. We are so glad that she enjoys playing and has a Strong passion for music. I can't believe how fast she is growing up. She is turning into a wonderful young women.

A little secret ~

I know I said this a million times, but I really do have the most amazing husband in the world. I swear to blog! He loves to make me happy and is always doing the sweetest things for me. Gordon knows how much I love to pamper myself, so About 2 years ago for my birthday he surprised me with a gift that shocks most people who find out. He bought all the stuff to do acrylic nails and pretty much taught himself how to do them. Granted he is supper artistic and can pretty much do anything with his hands, so those who know him are not surprised how quickly he picked this skill up. I get the nicest compliments on my nails all the time, it has turned into quite the conversation piece so I thought I would share my little secret!

Little Baby Bunny~

So it was just after midnight last night, I was almost asleep when I saw my sweet hubby bend down by my side of the bed. He had something in his hands. This is usually never a good thing. He had just been out spot lighting with Coby, Blake and Tyler. Apparently Coby and Tyler caught a baby rabbit and of course Gordon brought it home. He laid it next to me and took a pic. It was so cute, I could not get mad at him. I snugged it for a minute and warmed his little ears and then we let it go. We have lots of bunnies around so hopefully it has found some little friends.

Parents & Pastries ~

We had "parents & Pastries at school on Friday, so I thought I would snap a pic of the girls with their cousin Hannah. They love that they go to the same school!

Mallorie Noel~

Mallorie had her first dance competition last weekend, She did so good. she is a very graceful and talented dancer. Her class took first place in the ballet performance and 2ND for the jazz dance. It was an early morning and a long day for our little Mallorie, she crashed in the car on our way home. So sweet ~
