fireworks

i love this picture of grets and kurt's parents..

taken on saturday during the fireworks at the rodeo.

thirteen reasons why...

i just finished this book

and can not stop thinking about it!

the story is about a high school girl

who commits suicide

and tape records the thirteen reasons why

and sends the tapes to those people.

it sounds morbid,

but it is so interesting-

i finished the book in one day.

it is a young adult novel which

makes it a really fast and easy read.

if you are looking for a new book,

read this one!

happy fathers day to you

happy fathers day kurt,

you are the best dad

and we love ya!

sweet sixteen

this crazy lady is now 16 months old!

she is into EVERYTHING right now

and wants to be outside constantly!

her new favorite word is "huggies"

thanks to her uncle jake.

she loves to hug and give kisses

and loves to play with her cousins.

love ya grets!

get me outta here!

grets playing on the blow up toy

and grandma and grandpa's house..

poor girl thought she was trapped!

just because these crack me up..

is this not the funniest picture?

sorry it is blurry

but i just love the pure joy on greta's face.

she thinks my mom is her own personal pony!

and i love this one too...

greta's half comatose face it priceless!

disneyland...

... this post is about 3 weeks late!

warning, picture overload...

day 1

on the shuttle to dland!

on our first ride

the jungle cruise,

greta loved it!

everyone on the dumbo ride

(except kurt, he says it makes him sick!)

♥♥♥

day 2

enjoying a lovely dip in the pool!

we thought grets would love it like she did last summer,

but no such luck...

she lasted 5 minutes

back at dland

me and chlo,

i am practicing my cheesy smile

here we are on tower of terror,

it is not a very good picture

but i love bo's face!

we told him we were going on an elevator

and he loved it!

disneyland truly is a magical place,

greta has never eaten or slept so much

as she did there!

as you can tell from this picture,

this is when all hell broke loose

and kurt started feeling sick!

♥♥♥

day 3

last day!

( i realize my pose in this picture is extremely unflattering but i had to post is because it is the only family shot i have!)

grets on the pier

♥♥♥

on our way home we stopped at the beach.

grets was loving the sand!

the end!

despite the drive, the heat, and kurt getting pneumonia

it was such a fun trip!



{ 15 }

i am so sad i missed greta's 15 month birthday!

may 18th flew right on by.

where has this month gone?

miss greta

is loving life these days.

she has become so independent!

she loves to

walk around,

explore,

read her books,

ride her pony,

play with her ball,

play with chloe and her cousins,

and has finally started saying

MAMA!

she has been very naughty aound bed/nap time

whick i am not too happy about.

she likes to wake up every night around 3am!

i am hoping she grows out of that quickly!

but good or bad,

she is the cutest

little monkey!

♥♥♥

trick rider

grets has a new trick,

and she loves to show it off to everyone!

lately she has been obsessed

with her pink pony...

which is actually pretty surprising

because when she got it for her birthday

she wanted nothing to do with it!

{ ps }

i still have a lot of pictures to upload, edit and blog

from our trip...

so hopefully one day that will happen

behind..

here is a cute picture of grets having the time of her life in disneyland!

i have many more to come,

i just need to find the time!

and help kurt get over his pneumonia first.

(yes, he really does have pneumonia and it sucks.)

♥♥♥

Happy Mother's Day...to Brooke!

NO, this is not Brooke wishing herself a Happy Mother's Day... It's Kurt. I have never toyed with this blog thing, but I wanted everyone to know that I am not only married to the best woman ever, but the best MOM too. Thanks for taking care of our sweet little girl and me too! We love you very much,

                                                                    Happy Mother's Day! Love Kurt & Greta

.hoppy easter.

we had a lovely easter sunday..

good food, family, greta's first easter egg hunt!

here we are trying to get the perfect picture of greta's easter dress

success!

she looked so cute in her dress!

the kids anxiously awaiting the call to start hunting

she was so happy to run with the kids and find some eggs!

what is a holiday without a little tantrum?

all the kids in their easter glory!

easter picnic

on saturday we braved the cold and the rain

and attended a couple family picnics...

why is it always bad weather on easter?!

greta not really enjoying the 4 wheeler, but really enjoying some cheese

we had to get a picture of all the little ladies that were born this past year!

{baby sophie, berklee, greta, bailey, sadie, and maci}

♥♥♥

sadly, i only got one picture of the picnic with my family

and it is of greta thoroughly enjoying herself on the swing!

water for elephants

i have to say how much i loved this book!
i have been wanting to read it for awhile now,
and it exceeded my expectations!
really, you should read it.

and now i am really excited to see the movie..
even though in some of the previews
i think robert pattinson looks strange?!

 

happy birthday kurt!

happy

happy

birthday

kurt!

25 will be a good year!

♥♥♥
