Our Beautiful Life


Later in the day; we sat out on the patio enjoying our Ice Box Dessert
When suddenly
A snow storm hit

Well it seemed like snow, really it was cottonEither way, Dempsey loved playing in it.

Grandpa's Farm

Last weekend we went to Idaho to see our super cute new nephew, Taidg. While we were there grandpa took Dempsey out to see his 2 day old baby horse. I've never seen such a fresh baby horse, I was surprised how cute they are.Dempsey's favorite video is the baby einstien Farm Animals,

So she loved going out to meet the horseys

And she love, love, loves her Grandpa Nukaya

We are so lucky, We get to live in the city, then visit the country

We get the best of both worlds.

We did it

About 6 months ago,

Rashelle invited me to start swimming with some of her friends who were training for a Triathlon. I didn't even know how to swim, but she assured me she would show me how. So I decided to hop on the bandwagon, and to train for the triathlon.

Last saturday, after months of preparation, sweat, tears, nerves....

We Did It!

This is before the race started

We got our super cool green shorts at DI, and named ourselves

{The Green Team}

Chris {the sweetest husband ever} surprised me with this cute shirt

he made for Dempsey, he was wearing one too.

They all wore green
It was so nice to be coming down the road
and see this bunch of green people jumping up and down.
We love our family.
This truly was such an amazing experience for me. I never in a million years thought I could do something like this, and it felt so good to be able to accomplish it.

Afterwards, Chris and Dempsey took me out

to a celebratory dinner at Maddox's Steak house


Dempsey ate her first Shrimp

{and she loved it}

Then she sat by Chris and drank a bunch of water.Thanks my sweet little family, for your love and support. I'm a Lucky girl.

Favorites

A few of the many things I LOVE about Dempsey

{first}

The one-handed bottle hold. It cracks me up.

This is how she holds it everytime she drinks her bottle

{second}

I love looking at the door and seeing her little finger prints on the glass. It makes me sad to wash them off because I know someday they won't reappear anymore. {third}

She started carrying her baby everywhere, all day long. She eats with it, takes it in the car, {tries to bath with it}, rocks it, and best of all..

...She sleeps with it.

I Love this.

It's amazing how at such a young age you can see her nuturing spirit.
{fourth}

She is a nakie girl at heart.

She would run in the nude all day long if we let her{fifth}

She makes me laugh.

we cleaned out our car and found these gloves so I put them on her hands, but she found a better place for them instead

{sixth}

She loves wearing my bracelets

At least once a day you can find her rummaging thru my jewelry box looking for a bracelet to wear. The best part is she has to hold up arm up in the air to keep them from falling off.

Pretty Cute.{I am one Lucky girl}

Ours Forever

It's been 1 year since this sweet Angel came into our lives.

We are so Thankful for the pure joy she brings into our home. We never knew how much our {hearts} could love. We never could have imagined how much she would change our lives forever. We love you Dempsey Rae.

Little bites

These are the marks left by a little girl who loves Apples, but loves to bite things even more than she likes Apples. She's the cutest. Those 5 little teeth are cute too.
