Mommy's little helper

So, I had put Will on the floor and turned around to put some clothes away. I turn back around and he had rolled over to the laundry basket and sat up to pull out the clothes! He is only seven months! I'm going to have to keep my eye on this one. At the end of the clip you'll get a nice surprise!

My Dad Rocks!

My Dad is the absolute best.

With a heart so loving,

no one else could stand the test.

He is strong, confident, and bold.

Always there never a minute to spare,

His outstretched hand ready to hold.

I am blessed to have him as mine.

Forever his little girl

until the end of time.

Birthday Fun for my 7 year old!

Lucas had some friends over for his birthday and they did all the things 7 year old boys do. Wrestling, shooting each other, running around like crazy people, and drinking all the KoolAid they could get their hands on! Sidney, Will, James, and I just sat back and watched all the fun.

Strawberry pickin' and a picnic

On Sunday, Sid, Lucas, Will, and I went to U-Pick Farms in Hagerstown to pick strawberries. Our friend Milah told us about it and we had to check it out since we are strawberry lovers at our house. The kids were a little hesitant to go but once we got there, they really had fun picking their own strawberries. I was surprised to find out that there is a special way you pick them. You are supposed to pick them from the stem and leave the green top on. The lady that helped us was super nice and even gave us a ride on a golf cart out to the field. Lucas would pick one and eat three, he had a really good time! After that, we had a picnic on the back of our van. We came home tired and covered in strawberry juice, but it was worth it! I even bought a short cake mix at the little store so we'll see how that turns out. Yum!

We Made It!

Sidney ran and walked a 5K for Girls On the Run, a self-confidence program that gets girls motivated to get in shape. I joined her for two laps to help motivate her to keep going. We had a good time together and I am so proud that she finished!
