This is my husband with our sweet little girl on Father's Day. He's pretty sexy if I do say so myself and I LOVE this picture of him (though I wish he was smiling instead of poking his tongue out). And what in the world is Violet doing? Lol.

It was a good day. He went fishing with his friends in the morning, hung out with us at First Dam in the afternoon and then went with his friends again later in the evening to watch "the game" somewhere. I don't know what game it was, nor do I care- I'm just glad he had some fun and spent some time with his friends. Happy Father's Day to him right?

Tomorrow we're going to the pool with Violet. I'm so excited to get her in her cute little watermelon suit and head to play in the water!


Yesterday afternoon I went with my cousin Maria to First Dam with her kids (Railee Jo and Chantry) to feed the ducks. It was amazing, and talking with her about everything going on was refreshing. She's so happy and positive about being a mom, which is exactly how I feel about my new role and place in life. Most people I talk to ( with the exception of my own mom, Maria, and her mom) seem to have a negative opinion about it. I mean, if you didn't want to have kids.. why did you? And even if your experience is negative, why would you feel the need to share that with other people who are thoroughly enjoying it? I don't get it. The thoughts and opinions I've heard surrounding being pregnant and being a mom have just been such a surprise. Especially for the small town I live in. It's crazy, but I'm glad I have someone to spend time with who loves her kids and all the hard things that go with it. That's how I want to be. And that's how I feel I am.
I'm down 24 lbs.


This is her. My angel. My world. My everything.
I've never been happier.

Things are going well with our family. We've paid off some more things which is a HUGE relief. And it looks like we'll be getting approved for some more financial help here soon-which also will be a huge weight off my shoulders. Things are looking amazing!
