What To Do...

What does a 17 month old do on an 80-something degree, gorgeous Friday morning and afternoon in late June?

Decisions, decisions...

Maybe some wagon-pulling


A little aviation practice-Top Gun style



Perhaps mow the yard-it sure needs it.


Better yet, teach Daddy to mow the yard!
Best idea yet!

Thoughts at 30!

Today, I am 30. There I said  it(actually I wrote it, it may feel a little differently when I say it). I am chosing to embrace this fact instead of mourn my 20's. I mean, let's face it. My 20's were great but I also did a lot of stupid things in my early 20's. Things I am not so proud of and are better left unsaid. In my 20's: I graduated college, I became engaged and married, we bought our first home, got our first 2 pets, watched miracles before my very eyes, and had our first baby-a bouncing (literally) baby boy! Who could mourn that?!? Sure, Kameron told me I was "not young and hip anymore" yesterday because today I am turning 30, but what's he know anyway?!? He's (almost) 10! And actuallly, I'm not sure I was ever hip anyway; not a priority in this girl's life.

I've heard that starting at 30, the decades following just get better and better. I think that may be true. So, today I am chosing to embrace my 30's, declaring they will be my best decade yet, and I'm going to start it off right by sending my bouncing baby boy to spend the night with my parents and spend the day in the pool tomorrow-baby free for a while!! Sounds like a great refreshing way to start a new decade!
Happy weekend to you all and tell your father's and baby-daddies Happy Father's Day!!!
