Happy Birthay Cierra
my baby.. my youngest.. is turning seven on Sunday.. SEVEN.. where does the time go? we havent had time to do her Seven year old pictures yet.. she has had a cold and we got snow and I didnt want her out in the snow and cold this week.. so I will do them next week so for now.. here are some Photos of her.. recent and old ..
Happy ( almost ) Birthday Sweet baby girl I love you more than you know, and am so thankful for you and the amazing little girl you are.. you bring me so much joy and happiness.
I love her little long fingers.. and the way she uses her hands..
the little things I see around the house thanks to her..
more photos to come soon...
I have mixed feelings about the next few photos.. on one hand I am so proud and happy that my oldest son is growing up healthy and smart and well just a good kid.. he really is.. I am not just saying it cause I am his mom.. and the other part of me looks at these and sees him growing up becoming more independent ( I know I know its a good thing ) but a bit bittersweet ya know, he doesnt need me as much.. I see him riding off with friends on snowmobiles.. and dirtbikes and atv's..
and soon it will be this..
( the truck belongs to his friend Nate who is a year older ) so when I see these last two photos.. I see him driving off with friends to hang out and cruise around town laughing and having fun getting into some trouble.. ( just a little bit ) just growing up.. going to college moving away and it makes me happy for him but sad for me.. thats normal though right?
of spring.. around our house..
more to come
a year ago .. I feel in love with this little pup..
we waited and waited for word if she for sure would be ours..
( the above two photos are from the breeder )
We got the word while on vacation that she would infact be ours.. she was not going to be show quality and we could pick her up in May.
So come May .. Cierra and I drove just a bit past Syracuse ( about 3 hours + ) away and picked her up
( she is the one outside the fence )
( I love that she used to lay this way.. )
ahhhh puppyhood...
then she got a little bigger..
and here are some recent shots of our girl.. seriously... she is the best dog I have ever owned.. we all just adore her to pieces.
Happy Birthday Brooklynn.. we love you..
the kids.. recently...
Cierra picked out her outfit yesterday..
