Happy Birthday Michelle!

Today my baby girl turns 14!

Every year is just as hard as the last.

You realize how much time really does fly by.

It is hard to hold on to each day and cherish when you

are in the midst of it. Then their birthday comes and

you are reminded to enjoy them just the way they are

because it doesn't last for forever.

 

 

In two years she will be driving and maybe going on

a date or two.

In four years she will be graduating high school

and possibly saying good bye to us to start a new chapter of her life.

 

 

Ok I am not ready to think about that.

Instead today we will cherish Michelle just as she is.

A caring, kind friend to all, drama problem solver, compassionate,

lover of music, her ipod, snap chat, instagram, selfies, hanging with friends,

pestering her brother and then acting innocent, loves to give and receive hugs,

lover of Woods and Starbucks, and our special daughter who we love more then

words can say. Stay being just the way you are Michelle!

 

Happy 14th Birthday Michelle!

We love you!

 

 



Mother's day weekend | Birchbay

Finally getting around to posting part 2 of my mother's day weekend.

On Saturday we did the Color vibe 5k in Arlington and had an absolute blast!

 

Sunday morning I got spoiled as usual with breakfast in

bed, Josh even drove all the way to the store to get bread for French toast

and a coffee from Woods. While he was cooking the kids came

and snuggled up in bed with me. They also brought their cards and gifts.

The kids each got me a coffee gift card with their own money and

Josh got me a cut and color which I greatly need.

 

 

After breakfast we went to church.

From church we went home to change.

 I wanted to do something relaxing so

we headed out to Birch bay with BBQ. We stopped

by the store and loaded up on goodies first.

 

About an hour later my sister and her family joined us.

All the kiddos played great for a few hours.

Perfect day and just the way I wanted it.

Welcome to a brand new month!

I can't believe we are two weeks away from summer

break and half way through the year!

 

This week I want to share a few favs from the linkup last month.

Holly from Painted Ladies Journal is also a fellow design team

member with on the She Glossy design team.

I love how she used the donut stickers to add dimension to the matching card.

This is such a sweet layout of her son and his papa.

 

 

Emily at Mrs Crafty Adams does a monthly layout to document her day to day.

 I loved seeing how she used Studio Calico Lisse Street Project Life kit.

I also have this kit but have yet to use it.

I love all her little embellishment touches all over layout.

Especially in the corner of her Dollywood pic on the right.

 

 

This last idea I absolutely love for when I do ten on ten or a day in life.

Sandy shared this idea on The pocket source and I am saving it for future layout.
