One of my favorite pictures

I am in the process of backing up my files from the laptop. Mainly, because I need to in the event the hard drive crashes in the future. Second, because soon I won't have access to the laptop. As I was going through my Picasa files, I found a picture I love. I don't have a clue on how to use Picasa. I normally just play around with it.

I will miss playing around with Picasa. There is another photo editing site I can use. I am exicted to learn and use that program.

I love him

I want the whole world to know....


I am in love with Jeff.

He is the father of my child and my partner. We are going through a rough patch right now. It doesn't matter. I am TOTALLY in love with him. My heart skips a beat and I get butterflies just thinking of him. I love the father he is. He loves Autumn and Kara and it shows. I love how he takes care of me. I love listening to the love songs he plays for me. I love holding his hand. I love the fact that I can be myself around him. I love the way he makes me laugh.

I just plain love him!!

Kara 11 months

Kara is now 11 months. She continues to amaze me by her newly found skills. I am trying to remember them, but its hard. Some of the things she does: dances to all kinds of music, she crawls to my cell phone everytime it rings so she can "talk", she hates the vacuum. If she sees it, she screams out of horror. She has a new whiney face and uses it to her advantage.

Its hard to believe my little baby will be a year old in a few short weeks. I am looking forward to her birthday since she isn't afraid of icing. It will be interesting to see how I clean her off when we have her party at the local park and wont have easy access to wash her off. I did have an 11 month photo but my camera is at my mom's house.

taking a break

I am going through something private at this moment and I don't have the energy or desire to write anything. Although, I am MIA I am still reading everyones posts.

Busy Week

I have been MIA for the past few days. It has been a crazy week and its only Tuesday. Kara may have some kind of virus. She has been sick after every meal since Sunday. I thought last night she was better, of course when I call the doctor she is fine. This afternoon, the sickness began again. Her little bottom is so raw. She screams when she knows I have to change her diaper. She doesn't have a fever and she doesn't seem to be dehydrated. I am calling the doctor tomorrow to see if they want to see her.

Autumn has been placed on computer and phone restrictions, again. This is the second time since school was out June 12th. She just got back her privilages last week and lost a week later. She was warned if she gets in trouble, no computer time for 2 months and her phone will be taken away forever. I think she forgot about the rules since she was good for an entire week. The girl is spending her whole summer grounded. I hope this is not a preview of what the teen years are like.

Happy Birthday, Autumn

Happy 11th Birthday! I hope this year brings you joy!

Afternoon at the Pool

Saturday afternoon, we loaded the car with 3 kids, 2 adults and 3 bags and headed to the pool. It was a nice hot day. We had a good time at the pool. Angeleah decided she was hungry and whined until we left.




she loves the camera
