I started making necklaces and bracelets for Ryleigh. Lots of people commented on them, so I have decided to make them and sell them. Here are some that I have made already

Why cant we all just be nice?

Is it really that much easier to be mean to someone than to just be nice? Before you open your mouth to judge someone harshly try taking a walk in there shoes. Do you know what they've been through?

A Friend of mine responded in a post on cafe mom and the replies she got were just plain vicious! Is it that hard to give encouraging words, helpful tips and lift other moms up in there times of need?

So the next time you read a post or email or bite someones head off, take a deep breath and think..."Do I really know what they are going through?" Think of a way you can help them with there situation instead of scold them.

Lately we have been talking alot about kindness in church. Going out of your way to do something nice for someone else. Not only are you feeling good about what youve done, but I bet the person you did it for feels good as well. You can change a persons whole day with a smile or a kind word. Go try it! Its contagious :D

What do you want to be.....

when you grow up? How many times do you get asked that question when your growing up? Way to many! I never knew what I wanted to be. A teacher? A vet? A doctor? maybe an astronaut? For the most part I think I said a teacher. I always had a love for kids. After highschool I went to college to be a teacher. After the first year I changed my major to PE Teacher. After the second year I knew college just wasnt for me. I always got good grades, it just wasnt "me". I didnt know what I wanted to be. I tryed and tryed to picture myself in different jobs, but none of them seemed to be "me". I think deep down I always knew what I wanted to be. It wasnt an answer that people would expect. Its not something you hear people say. I want to be a stay at home mom. Im living my dream job right now. Being able to watch my daughter learn and grow means the world to me and I wouldnt want to be anywhere else but where im at right now. Im so blessed to be able to do that with her. I have a husband that works his butt off every day to make that possible to. It makes him happy knowing that im happy.
Im at a point in my life right now that I feel so blessed. I love my life. Sure it has its ups and downs, but overall I wouldnt change it for the world. Being able to watch my parents play and have fun with my daughter is so amazing. I love sharing that with them. I have some great friends, and a best friend that means the world to me. Shes always there for me no matter what. I couldnt ask for anything more.

Ripleys Aquarium















Ripleys aquarium was a lot of fun. Ryleigh loved it. She kept pointing to the fish and saying "fish". I think everyones favorite part was the tunnel! That was awsome! The pics arent the greatest. Its hard to take pics in dark settings when things are moving.

Sunrise on the beach

I decided to get up early one morning and catch the sunrise on the ocean. Ryleigh and Bobby were still sleeping and Kim was too tired. Haylee wanted to go so we got dressed and ran down to the beach. We started walking and I started snapping away.








The beach

The beach was just how I remembered it from when I was little! Now I got to experience it with my daughter. It was her own ginormous sand box! She wasnt very fond of the waves coming in at first, but by the end of the trip she loved it. The first time the wave hit her feet and started to wash back into the ocean she lifted her feet up to get out of it. (I was holding her hands) Here are some of the beach pictures from the week.

Our first full day at the beach










Kim showing Ryleigh the clams that dig in the sand. She must have sat there with Kim for over 30 min just digging and playing in the sand.
