Father's Day 2015

Since Halley won't be with us on Sunday, Brandon got his Father's Day gifts today! 😍😍 I think it is super adorable! The box says "dad's tackle box" and has various gummy worms, sour worms, gummy fish, etc. <3

Lauren's 4th Birthday

I can't believe my baby would be 4 years old. </3

This year we had a small get together on Lauren's birthday by her grave. 

I chose Frozen as her theme because Halley loves Frozen and my nephews who are around Lauren's age love it as well. I think it was perfect for a 4 year old birthday theme. 

We sang to her, had a little cake, and did a balloon release for her. 

I seriously couldn't have more love for my family at times like this. I always feel like they won't want to get together with us or it is asking too much for them to go out of their way to meet and celebrate with us. Every time, they always come through. They are always there for us. They always remind me that they love and miss Lauren just as much. I don't think I could make it through her birthday (and everyday) without them.

Here are some pictures. <3

Halley's 4th Grade Graduation

My baby isn't in elementary school any more! She graduated from 4th grade today. She is getting so big, I seriously wanted to cry the entire day. Any big moments for Halley I like to soak up as much as I can. Especially since I don't have these moments with Lauren and I don't have hope to have thee moments with any other child. All big moments make me emotional.  I've learned tomorrow is never promised, so I try to be "in the moment" for everything that happens - if that makes sense. 

Anyways, here are a few pictures from her graduation. <3
