I won't be posting on here anymore so come on over to the new one!!! :) 

xoxoxo

My most favorite time of day is when the sun begins to set, dusk, I guess you would call it. Bountiful is blessed with gorgeous sunsets on a fairly consistent basis. A lot of these pictures don't give the color justice, but one day I'll be a pro and be able to capture what I'm actually seeing. 

Happy Monday y'all. 

One of my favorite things about summer is the Farmer's Markets during the weekends. Last week I hit the Downtown Market before it got too hot. I am smitten with all the colors, crafts, people and puppies :) Here a just a few of the pics I took, ya, I probably look like the crazy woman with the camera taking pics of random stuff, but all the colors and beauty are just too awesome to miss.

Someone told me today that they never ever see pictures of me. Well here then. Hooray! 

p.s. I see you Seattle :)

Wow, no blogging for awhile! I was looking forward to posting a bunch of stuff, but I'm taking 22 credit hours in school, yes I had to get it approved by the department head, and it's kicking my tush! BUT, I love it! So, in short, here's what we have been up to lately:

*Blythe wants to do everything herself. EVERYTHING. She asked me if I would teach her to paint fingernails....she's so dang cute. 

* This is my nephew Brecken, we all live in the same house so those two get to play a lot. It's fun to listen to them because they are both so stubborn and love to boss each other around. But at the end of the day they are good buds. 

* We like to go visit my Grandma on Sundays, Blythe really likes playing with her and always gets spoiled. 

*We like Photo Booth. A Lot. 

*Blythe has been so excited to Monster's University since she first saw a preview back in March. Yes, Belle had to go with us. She eventually found her seat in the cup holder. 

*Looking into music classes, Blythe is way excited! 

*Ran into our best friends at the first Famers Market of the summer!

*When we go to my Grandmas they always invite Blythe to activities. Balloon volleyball is her favorite. They call her their mascot and all the residents just love her. 

*All tea parties, All the time. 

*And this summer her little eye keeps randomly swelling, we can't quite pinpoint why, but I have my suspicions that she's allergic to watermelon like myself. Time will tell!

Blythe is now out of town until August! She's on a trip with my mom up the West coast and having a blast! I miss her like crazy but know she's having way more fun with her Nana, than she would sitting around and watching mom do homework. 

Happy July Peeps. 

 Dear Blythe, 

 Summer is here little lady and it's time to break out the sunscreen and work on loosing them floaties...what do ya say? Oh my dear, please stop growing so quickly. It seems like if I'm even away from you for the day, you've matured ages by the time I return home. You are pronouncing your sentences so well and amaze me constantly with your quick, sometimes dry, wit. Right now you have a love for all things girly, with room in there for a major obsession with super-heros. I love peeking in on you watching The Avengers while all decked out in your dress ups and having a tea party with Ironman and Hulk. Sometimes when you are concentrating you breathe very deeply through your nose and it takes everything in my power to hold back the chuckles. You are so kind to people and always try to make new friends where ever we go. With that comes the inevitable rejection that sometimes comes with being a kid. I wish so badly I could shield you from every hurt in this world, but I have to remind you that this mama bird needs to let you use your wings. This is a very different time in our lives. I'm gone a lot these days with school and work, but please know that I'm making a better life for us. Everything I do is for you. Thank you for being so patient with me and teaching me all the things that you do. I love you so much and I'm the luckiest Mama in the world. 

 Love, Mom

for you.
