It ain't my first rodeo, it's my THIRD!
Happy Birthday Trinity!
I can't believe my darling daughter is 3 years old!
We are having a Rodeo themed party this year.
Trinity called it, her "horsey party"
She was so excited for her birthday party.

She kept asking for presents { oh dear }
Well, she got spoiled, that's for sure.
So happy that we got to celebrate with family and friends!

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

She is the cutest cowgirl I ever did see!
She always likes to pose!

The Party planning Momma!
The food cooking machine, Daddy!
We love planning for our little girl's parties!
I think we are a good team when it comes to these parties.
Daddy likes to cook.
Mommy likes to make the crafts!
We always end up helping each other and making it FUN!
Anything for our cowgirl!

It is totally a COWGIRL thing!!!

Grab a cowgirl mug and fill it with whatever tastes right!
The cowgirl mugs were from Oriental Trading.

Thank you for all the great gifts and memories!

Pumpkin Patch Fun!

The cutest pumpkin in the patch!
Trinity and I went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday 10/24.

We had so much fun!
It was Mommy/Daughter day!

Trinity was too busy in the play houses.

She didn't even want to go on the hay ride.
She didn't even care to pick out pumpkins to carve.

She made some new friends in the play house though!

More playhouse fun!
But I will say..
My daughter gets more beautiful each day.
That blonde hair and blue eyes.

That smile will light up anyone's world.
She is definitely my favorite pumpkin EVER!

TPK loved the witch's "stew".

It was all eyeballs.
She kept playing in it and takin' the eyeballs out.

She is a little stinker.
Then she would go put them in another water pond.
She thought it was funny.
Then she goes "ewww eyeballs".
Never a dull moment with this cutie!

Harner Farms is where we like to go to pick pumpkins.
I wish Trinity wanted to do the hayride
and pick a pumpkin from the patch.

It's ok, because there is always next year.
Needless to say, we left without pumpkins.
She didn't want to sit still, she wanted to play for the afternoon.
Little 2 year olds have their own agenda.. HAHA!

A nice guy said, "Let me take your picture."

Trin and I got up on the big bear and got our picture taken.
Mommy and Trin's day out was a success.
Even though we didn't get pumpkins.
Having her play all day and just having the day together was PERFECT!

That face though!
We always get her picture in the pumpkin.
She was cheesin' hard!

I love making new memories with her though!

Then she was a cute little kitty.

I love you Trinity the black kitty.

Those blue eyes are poppin!

Yes, her fingernails are only painted on one hand.

That's what happens when toddlers are impatient

and don't want their nails to dry.. LOL!

Haunted House time.
It was just a little walk way.

She got scared though and ran out the entrance.
She wanted to go in by herself too.
I said let Mommy carry you and she didn't.
I guess she was too scared anyways!
I definitely caught a good picture of her running away!

On our way out, Trinity decided to hide.
I found her in this sign.
It was too cute!
PEEK-A-BOO!
Love my pumpkin!

 

Ocean City, Maryland 2015

Every year we try and go to the beach.

Since we found out we were pregnant,

we have went to OCMD.

We love the beach there and just made it

a family ritual to go there each year.

Each year we have went with family and friends.

This year my Dad and Brother went with us!

All ready to go to dinner at the Taphouse.

The appetizers were amazing.

We had buffalo chicken dip

and crab stuffed soft pretzels.

It was our first time trying out that restaurant.

I would go back for sure!

We love the beach.

Sand between our toes,

relaxing,

not having to worry about anything.

I am so happy my brother got to come with us.

He missed school, but it was worth it.

Hope he comes again with us.

My King and I having a nice walk on the beach.

We woke up early and just took a walk.

It was nice to be alone

and just be grateful that we were on vacation.

We got to talk to each other

with no interruptions and

get a little exercise.

Love my better half.

My baby girl is fearless.

She loved the water.

She is always asking to go back too.

I guess someday we will live at the beach.

Trinity loves her Grandpa.

This picture will definitely be framed.

Enjoying the great weather and loving life.

Then we had these to die for donuts.

Fractured Prune.

Best donuts FOR REAL.

We had 3 dozen the week we were there.

It took me a week to burn those babies off.

LOL.

They were worth it though.

I could eat one right now.

We love the Tiki Bar.

We got drinks there everyday/night.

They are just so good.

I had so many different kinds.

My favorite was the Mudslide.

David loved the Grasshopper.

At least we got to enjoy some drinks together.

Trinity was snoozin' early this night.

Another night out.

We took my Dad and Brother to Fager's Island.

It's our favorite restaurant.

You can sit outside and enjoy the view.

We always go and watch the sunset.

We enjoy the atmosphere and walking out on the gazebo.

10 years apart in age.

We are so close though.

I love my brother so much.

I wish we got to see each other more though.

No matter what,

when we get to see each other

we never skip a beat.

We laugh until we practically pee ourselves.

We are always up for a good time.

He makes me proud.

I'm glad he is my brother.

Our little family.

Last day at the beach.

We had a blast.

Until next year.
