I love you Ashlynn Olivia! 

You are so beautiful and watching you grow is such a gift. 

Mother's Day !

I had an absolutely beautiful Mother's Day and I hope that you all did as well !  

I woke up to this amazing painted flower pot that Ashlynn made me with Daddy's help. 

We went to Forest Park in St. Louis and had a picnic. It was so beautiful. 

After our lunch we went to a little lake/waterfall thing in the park. 

Ashlynn fell in love with these ducks. She even started saying "Duck" ! 

I was trying to get pictures of her but she just wanted to go play with the ducks :) 

I adore being a mommy. I love Ashlynn more than anything or anyone else on this earth and it has been such a gift to have her in this world with me each and every day. She is my little bug and I could not imagine the world without her. She makes me laugh and makes me cry. 
Being a mom has been amazing and it keeps getting better!

Playing in the Sandbox!

After severe frustration that a giant turtle was camping out in my living room because he was scared of the storms, I finally kicked Mr. Turtle out of the apartment yesterday and moved him out to his permanent home in the backyard. 

I even filled his belly up with sand and tiny baby turtles. 

And today hubby and I took little miss Buggy out to play! 

She went straight for her turtle. She had not been as excited as I was after his sudden disappearance during her nap yesterday. 

She had a blast :) 

In other news ... I took some photos of our eggs and threw them away :) 

They are so pretty. And we had a blast dying them with Lynney Bug.
