10 smiles

Coming up with ten things a day to smile about isn't difficult for me anymore. I love looking at life with a positive outlook. Even in the crappy stuff, there's something to smile and laugh about. I'm so grateful to have met such a wonderful man and be able to be a small part of his kid's lives. We take them to the park to feed ducks. Those damn geese bit Karli once, scared the crap out of her. Walker has developed a little bit of 'gangsta' with the help of his father. The cutest part is when he's wearing this little bandana, crying cuz he's in trouble and screams, "I don't want to Daddy! No thank you!" How can you say no to that? Somehow he does it.
Summer has been wonderful and I'm so excited for fall!

Tay's Birthday

Scott's niece, Taylor, had her second birthday on the 5th of July. She's such a chunk! We had a water day for the kids and broke out the slip-n-slide!

4th of July

Scott and I got to have Karli and Walker over the 4th of July. We spent it with his family at his 92 year old Grandma's house. They loved the sparklers! Poor Walker wasn't so sure about the actual fireworks unless he was standing behind his dad.

Karli's Birthday

Karli turned six! We celebrated by having a BBQ at Scott's mom's with her cousins! She's the sweetest thing and a blessing in all of our lives.

Marker Faces

A couple nights of poker night with Scott's sister Emily, her husband Jason and his brother Mike turned into kids drawing on adults faces with magic markers.

Moab

Scott and I randomly decided to one night take a trip down to Moab. We went with nothing but the clothes on our backs. I had never been and after driving all night got to wake up to gorgeous scenery. I fell in love with all the activities and the countryside.

Long awaited posts...

I know I've been neglectful of my blog....way neglectful. I've been super busy with my wonderful job at Hollywood Body MD and with my amazing boyfriend and his kids, Karli and Walker. I've had a fabulous summer. There have been some hard times, such as my cousin Josh Ward and my Grandpa both dying. I keep their memories close to me, though it may not seem that way. I know they want us all to keep living and laughing. Enjoy the pictures and updates!
