Hook, Line, & Harper

Thats right...my baby is a real fisher-woman.  This is the first year she has truly fished with hook and all.  She has a little Dora pole and sure enough her first cast into the water she had a bite.  She was a bit spooked by all the commotion of the bobber down, Daddy telling her she had a fish, and then attempting to reel it in.  She brought it to the surface but the fishy didn't quite get all the way hooked.  The past couple summers she has ran around with a pretend plastic fish on the end and has been learning how to cast and such.  This year its the real deal.  There will be many days on the dock with her Dora pole this summer.  She is stoked...and so his her daddy:)!

The birthday woman

Dad and Teaf workin hard!

We celebrated my mom's birthday at the lake of course. We had record high beautiful weather and took full advantage of it. We went for a boat ride, played outside, fished, and planted our garden. Pretty awesome time. Simple and amazing. I love the weekends!

Happy Birthday momma/grandma!!

March 31st, 2012 marks another year this beautiful woman makes an everlasting impact on many lives. I am one of those lucky people who gets the chance to have this beautiful soul as my mom. My kids are just as lucky to have her as their grandma. She has such a bright spirit that touches and teaches lives daily. She is a life long learner and through her learning and growing teaches me to be a better woman. She teaches by example and is always there for me.

Thank you mom for being a light in my life who always takes care of me no matter how old I get. You are equally a caretaker to my children and for that I can't thank you enough. Happy Birthday momma, your the best around!

Today..

Today I have my head down with my hat over my eyes, or at least I would like to. Today was an emotional cocktail of ups and downs, and I sure didn't have any alcohol to go with it. Today I worked 10 hours. Tonight I came home from a LONG day at work to 3 amazing people that I am blessed to call my family. Tonight I tucked in 2 of those 3 people and snuggled their faces and smooched their chins and lips. Tonight I sat on the porch on this beautiful night holding hands with 1 of those people, telling him all about my day. Today I wanted to have my hat over my eyes, but tomorrow I will throw that hat on the ground and face the day head on. I'm not promising that I won't want to put that hat back over my eyes tomorrow night, but I will sure try not to!

Simple...

best buds and an amazing backdrop.
