my Len

so todays blog is dedicated to my main squeeze. i know that in life love fades, changes, hurts, is the best feeling, begins, ends, and so on. but my love for Len is that unique, one in a million, and lasting kind. i have been thinking a lot about a marriage weekend full of real life love. see i know that love can seem dreamy and adventurous, but in all reality love is far from either of those things. see real love is choice, and determination. we have been down to the very bottom of the love barrel and trust me when i say, "it sucks." but having been there and tasted failure, it constantly makes me work hard on making love work. i choose everyday to pick Lendall and love him. somedays this is very easy like when he moves your best friend out of her house, or when he comes and changes your flat tire. other days it is like pulling teeth or bad gas. but everyday rain or shine He knows i am going to pull threw and love him. i have always known that he was special and someone to hold close. and i know he loves me, i am the very hardest person on the planet to live with. see i mostly like things done my way, and i like them done on my schedule, and i am typically a bucket of emotions all rolled into one. but at the end of his very long day, he loves me. i have never been more in love with that man then i am today. he is all i need, want, and i count myself blessed to walk threw this life with him.

date to the ZOO.

so wednesday it was so pretty outside. me and emrie went on a date to the zoo, in OKC. come to find out it was 1$ wednesday, so i spent a total of 11.50$ all day. we had to ride "racing stripes" 4 times. every tie she cheered her favorite zebra on. the funny part of this is she wanted me to ride the "walrus" beside her, so imagine this large gal up on top of this short, little walrus. pretty good memory.

this is a very surprised with gum face.
her and "her" goats. she is such a little farmer. other kids were timid and scared of the goats, not Em, she would of haltered and led it around if they would've let her.

Emrie- i hope you always know how special days like today are to me. i love spending time with you. you are such a joy to watch, with every new adventure you learn and grow so much. your the very best gift God has given me. our love is without an end.

love - your momma

what a three year old looks like.

Emrie had a wonderful birthday !!! she celebrated with all her family and friends at the purcell lake. the theme was "horses." here she is after eating aunt Mac's delicious cupcakes.

her is the end result. Thanks aunt mac
her favorite big girl cousin Kagan with the birthday girl.
my precious sweet baby, who is not such a baby anymore. 3 is harder for me then 2. see when she is 2 she is still very needy, and dependent, and babyish. but 3 is independence and opinionated.

she loves her "Prince daddy" and laughs just like him. they are quite the pair while watching funny cartoons. she is very into "ice age" right now and her daddy loves that squirrel.

i hate to admit it but i have a little mini me on my hands. she loves to be with me and do whatever it is i am doing. she frequents the beauty shop and people are always amazed at how she dose everything just like me. she colors,cuts, shampoos, dry, and starts all over again.

she is so blessed to be able to stay with my nana lue while i work, and i hope she remembers all these special moments she shares with nana. my nana thinks she hung the moon and she tells me all the time, how she lives to take care of her babies.

we have been living with mom and gary while we build our house, and i think they secretly love waking up to Em. granna and papa think she is pretty special. she gives them both strict instructions, sometimes and they usually bite rigt into her plan.

we usually spend sunday afternoons at popper's house. she loves to go and eat his fried okra, and mac and cheese. i hope she takes a sense of family tradition from doing this. my great mamal always cooked sunday lunch while i was growing up, and i will always treasure those memories.

grandma and aunt leah watch em for us too, and she loves to spend time at grandmas house. she gets to have free rain over her house. last time i picked her up they had the whole living room set up like a picnic. she has so many fun toys to play with not to mention her grandma's hair to doo.

her aunts also take hand in make=ing her life so great. they love n her every chance they get. aunt mac seems to always have a surprise for her special girl, and she gave us the best gift of all the day tucker was born, emrie loves that baby boy so much, and i love watching them develope a bond with every visit. i am not going to lie taht tucker man loves his crazy big cousy too.

aunt chels and em have a special connection, see chelsie is a lot like me, and so emrie naturally feels loved by her. i cannot wait to see chelsie become a momma, i know from watching her love my baby it will come seamlessly to her.

with all that being said i think my little miss is one lucky and loved little girl. i hope she learns and grows into her very own shoes. taking and learning from each one of these special people.

thank you all for loving Emrie to the deepest part of the ocean.
Emrie- always know that wherever life takes you, we will be proud to be your momma and daddy prince.

my baby turns 3 !!! i just cannot believe how fast time has flown by. she is such a life changing gal. i love her so so so very much. my favorite parts of my life involve her. she is so witty and funny. i seriously do not know what we did before her. here are a few famous quotes.....

"you girls, better mind your manors while your at school. "

"don't make me get the spoon" while she plays with her babies.

"today i asked her "em- do u want to apologize or go back to time out?" she said, "i will be in Time out, mom"

"I LOVB YOU"

in a very dramatic way " I am SO SO SO hungry"

there is no way a momma can describe her love for her baby. it just flows from within. i was very proud 3 years ago today, but with every passing day she exceeds all my expectations.

baby girl- i love you with all my heart and there is nothing in this whole wide world that i would not do for you. you are my Sunshine, you make me happy when sky's are grey. i hope you love being three.
