I want to remember this forever

Des is at that age right now where everything that comes out of her mouth is rude and borderline mean. All I get from her lately is "Moooooooom" or "duh" all attitude all the time. It's driving me crazy. Boarding school in Tibet with the monks s looking better and better every day. After an insanely frustrating argument with her a few days ago she stomped off to her room declaring I'm the meanest mom EVER and she wished she was never born. About a half hour later she brought out a notebook and told me she wrote me something. I was a little scared to open it. I figured it would be a detailed and itemized list of my horrible mom skills. Turns out I was off...way off.

Cover Page. She still loves me!!

First Page: I love you so much. This is how much. Love you

Second Page: You are the best. I love you because you are there for me when I need you. You are my favorite (I hope so considering I'm her only mom)

Third Page: Love, Once upon a time, Very nice, Every(one?) loves you

Fourth Page: You are very sweet and all ways loving and caring. *The world man says: You are super nice* (I love her world man drawing)

Fifth Page: Turn this page to the last page which is the best.

Sixth Page: I turned the page and found this little guy saying Love but there was another page

Seventh Page: The End! Flip Page

Eighth Page: Trustful, Everybody loves, Really nice. I love you

 

That was the best thing I've gotten from Des in a long time. It made me tear up a little. She is a little behind in the handwriting department but getting this from her was awesome.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Noelle's Nap Time

This is a picture I took a few weeks ago of  Miss Noelle taking a nap. She's going to be a year old in 9 days. On September 11th my baby won't be a baby anymore. I can't believe how fast a year goes by when there's a baby in the house.

Chuck Wagon Ridin'

Our local apple orchard opened for the season recently. It's an awesome place with amazing donuts, a petting zoo, rides, games for the kids, amazing donuts (I really like their donuts) and of course apples. We spend a lot of time there from mid August until November. On our first trip this year I took these pictures of Whynter and Destiny on the 50 cent  chuck wagon ride. Whynter was a little scared but got over it pretty quick.

Frends Fur-Ever

We recently got a kitten at Destiny's request. To keep our older anti-social cat company. We named her Willow. Our older cat (Kiara) hates her and I'm convinced Kiara is plotting Willow's demise...but that's a whole other post. Anyway it turns out little miss Willow has feelings for Whynter and only Whynter. They sleep together, play together, and even watch TV together. Whynter is loving it. She's spent her whole two years on this earth trying to pet Kiara and now she has her very own kitten . It's freaking adorable.

Daddy's Girl

Whynter adores her daddy. She asks me about a million times a day where he is. Then when he gets home he can't go two feet without her on his heels. If he goes anywhere near the front door she screams "I TOOOOO!" I hope it stays that way as she gets older.

My Tiny Princess

I'm using a different program than I was originally. I'm using this if anyone is curious. It's an older program but easy to use and cheap...but I have my heart set on this. (Hopefully my husband is reading this)

9 Years Old!

Destiny's turned 9 February10th of this year. I can't believe she's 9 already. She getting too big too quick. I love watching her grow up but I hate that she's growing up. Part of me wants to keep her little forever.
