SUMMER FUN !

Here is Aubrey with Grandpa Mell. She loves him and they sure know how to have fun!

 I emptied the bows on this pink basket so that she could fill it up with rocks. She had a blast!

Milk snack while watching a music video. She loves to relax and in this she reminds me of Ryan sooo much! She is literally a mini Ryan in so many ways :D

Made her a new bow...just a touch big but so cute!

This is the picture we are giving Ryan for Father's Day. He has a collection of pictures in his office...I love that he is a real proud daddy :D 

And this is the Ryan-Aubrey new game. Ryan hides under the blanket. Aubrey gets curious and wants to see under the it...

She finds dad and then gets tickled by him. They both laugh like crazy and repeat the game again and again!

Aubrey had her first chocolate cookie and loved it (as you can see)

Aubrey's first time in the pool. She was not afraid of it and (even better) wanted me to let her go into the pool deeper and depper! Now, at 14 months old that is adventurous character! 

She liked me pulling on her floating string and go on for pool rides. I liked that better than having her walk depper into the kid's pool. What a fun little love :D

She really loved the floating device. She  wouldn't leave it and ate her lunch in it. Just cracks me up!

REFLECTIONS

As I woke up today I found myself thinking of how many blessings I have in my life. I couldn't be more grateful for our little family and the joy it brings!. I feel humble to know that Heavenly Father chose me to be Aubrey's mother. I also love how Ryan fills my life with true love and friendship. I love to chat about anything with him and play and enjoy ourselves whenever possible. As an eternal couple me and Ryan have not only grown personally and with each other but spiritually and that also brings happy into my life.


As I was trying to prepare some FHE lesson this last Monday and I stopped to browse at the www.lds.org website. At the bottom of the main page I noticed some video clips and found myself clicking in a few of them. Definitely felt the spirit to abide by me and felt testifying of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ one more time within my heart (I enjoyed that :D). I felt grateful to know that Jesus Christ lives and that he is our Savior and Redeemer of all sins I may have throughout my life...what a comfort this sweet gift it is to me! Hope I do what I am expected of my Heavenly Father as I move forward in life and try my best to earn the blessings that I am granted.

I testify that Jesus Christ lives; I testify that Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and restored the gospel on this earth again; I testify that my family is to be eternal and forever mine. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amén.

... LATELY ...

This is our attempt to yard work. Our yard was dry and dead when we bought the house so we thought we could make it look "better" by raking, cleaning and pulling lots of weeds. So, I didn't catch the before but so you know the after is sooo much better looking. It was fun to play outside and Aubrey loved graving anything out there!

She is now in that stage of trying on whatever shoe...just lovely ♥

And of course hair do of the week (she got a little sun color on her chicks)

Love to dress her up for no reason...my fun!

Also at the stage where she wants to feed me anything! (literally)
