Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Hadley Marie

Hadley Marie, our youngest pup, turned 2 yesterday. She is our little princess. Hadley doesn't know she is a dog or a Great Dane for that matter. She still thinks she is the 3 month old puppy we brought home whom we let sit in our lap and lay in bed for morning and before bed snuggles.

At 110lbs and standing at least 5' 5" on her hind legs she still thinks she can lay on you, stretch out as much as possible in bed, and always be on the couch.  She has the best and funniest personality.  She loves wrestling with her brother Maverick, annoying her sister Charleigh, and nibbling on fingers when possible. Can't go to bed without Winnie the Pooh stuffed animal or Elephant.  And is in your face to have a bite of whatever you're eating especially if it is popcorn, tortilla chips, and most importantly cheese. 

Miss Hadley Marie, we love you oh so much and you make our life so joyful. We hope you ha a wonderful birthday in the sun and loungin in bed in front of the fan.

Cheers to 30 years

I celebrated my 30th birthday in a big way.  We started the day off by going back out on the lake with Brian & Cassie and the rest of the family.  We had a blast hanging out and floating in the cove. I couldn't have asked for a more fun day on the water.

We left the lake and headed down to Carlsbad to watch the sunset and do a little bar hopping with friends.  I was so happy to see friends and family and ring in the big 3-0 with them.  We started off at Dini's by the Sea and then walked over to The Compass and came back to Dini's.  we were supposed to go to a few more bars but we were having so much fun we just stayed where the fun was.

Happy Birthday Paisley!

5 years ago I became an Auntie to an adorable little girl. I loved her when she was in her mommy's tummy and fell madly in love with her the moment I laid eyes on her and couldn't contain my excitement to hold her in my arms.

I was in dental hygiene school and was at a study group when Michelle My Bell called me. I didn't think much of it since I knew Paisley wasn't supposed to arrive for a few more weeks and continued on studying for multiple quizzes and exam that were coming up. When I got home my mom ask if Michelle got a hold of me and I said, "I missed the call and need to call her " My mom spilled the beans and said she had Paisley early. I immediately grabbed my truck keys and drove straight to the hospital.

I was in awe of Paisley. How could I have so much love for her when I just saw her for 1 second?! I mean she is amazing.

I have loved watching her grow up into the little lady she is becoming. One of my favorites is when she calls me and we can have a full conversation on her day, school, outfits, and her "boyfriend". She is wise beyond her years. I can't wait until I can see her again and spoil her rotten like an Auntie can!!

Miss. Paisley, I love you so much and miss you terribly. Hope you had a wonderful birthday party at Monkey Business baby girl!!!
