Working

Well I have my first blog to book made. I have SO MANY entries that it had to be separated into years and I am finding out that even some of my years are so full of stuff they might have to be separated so this might take a while. 2007 is done though and being printed for $35. 2008 is a lot larger so I will have to cut that into two books or go though and delete some posts that aren't very important.

Taylor and I had a very sweet moment last night. My best friend Jaime is pregnant and one of her gifts I am giving her is this sweet book I came across recently. Someday by Alison Mcghee. Well last night I wanted to read it to Taylor since I hadn't had time to go through the whole book yet. It is a simple book about a mother's love for her daughter and how she dreams she lives a fulfilling life of happiness. Well I don't have to tell you I am Miss cry baby and that book did me in!!!!. Taylor was just listening along and my voice started to tremble. The farther we went I just couldn't help but choke out the sweet words on the page.

She looked up at me with concern and we both started laughing! I was cry laughing and she was like, "Mom but book isn't even that sad???"
"I know honey, it makes me happy sad. All the things this mommy wants for her baby girl is what I want for you too."

Well she looked confused and said Read it again. So I did :)

From blog to book

I think I'm going to turn my old blog into a book that way I can look at it and all its pictures whenever I want to and not have to worry about the website disappearing someday. 

As some of you know I reached the limit adding photos to my blog so this will give me a chance to free up space for my photography blog which is connected.

I started my original blog in 2007 so it's really special to me,  Taylor's childhood is basically documented on the blog.

So let you know how the process goes I have found a website that turns blogs into books we will see how expensive it gets!!!! 

Camping at Beaver

Family vacation time at Beaver lake. It was GREAT!!!!!! (except for Friday) Rainy mess!! We survived and it didn't slow us down too much.

I hated to see it end! Time with my family in such a beautiful place was just perfect.

Night at the carnival

LOVE IT when the carnival comes to town! This year it was bigger than we have seen and Taylor just could not wait to ride the night away. I shelled out the money so we could ride unlimited rides and I made sure we got our money's worth!!!!!

Taylor was so so so scared of the Faris Wheel, but
The first ride I wanted to go on was the BIG BEAUTIFUL faris wheel. It was HUGE



We rode the Tilt-a-Whirl so many times I am still seeing circles!! I love that ride and Taylor and I have it down so we can get it going so fast!!

Tony and Baylee showed up so I was happy to take a break from the more SCARY rides!

She finally was brave enough to try it again and it was cool now witht he lights glowing and we could see so far in the city.  The night was magical and everything I remembered when I was a kid going to carnivals.

At the end of the night we found a May Fly and Taylor was pretty excited that he picked the carnival to spend his only day on Earth. (they only live one day ya know)

Family reunion 2013

We had so much fun camping at CouncilGrove lake last weekend. The weather was so nice the tent was so roomy. We cooked hot dogs and brats we had all kinds of yummy snacks and dips the whole time.

The girls threw rocks in the water and tried to catch bugs they even played it in the water some.

We got to visit with our relatives and get to talk to family we haven't seen a long time.

Saturday evening is when the storms came it put a little bit of a damper on the situation but we had fun anyways!

Check out the pics from our weekend.

Testing my phone

Well it looks like I can now blog with my cell! How exciting! I've always wanted to do this! So now I will post some pictures from the weekend.

So awesome I posted all this from my phone! No excuse now not to blog!

Update

I am so so so behind with blogging it is a joke. SO instead of trying to catch you up and get overwhelmed I will just start with TODAY!

Today is Tuesday and I am at work. BLAH. Happy to have a job not happy to be sitting at my desk when the summer sun is shinning.

Pepper is getting her first professional hair cut tonight. I am so excited to see her all trimmed and pretty for summer.

Our pool has opened up at the apartments and I get the nagging question every night I have Taylor. I pick her up after work and all I hear is.."can we go to the pool????"

We have four little tomatoes growing on our balcony! I can't wait to try them out. I just keep watering and water those little babies. We also have basil, cilantro, lavender and mint.

I have been eating fresher or trying to. Joined weight watchers again because it is the ONLY diet I can stick to where I can eat Mexican and drink beer sometimes. So far down 6.5 pounds. Yay me... and a LONG way to go.

Well happy Tuesday. Talk to you soon.
