In Loving Memory:

Love is stronger than death even though it can't stop death from happening, but no matter how hard death tries it can't separate people from love. It can't take away our memories either. In the end, life is stronger than death."

My sweet sweet Sister-in-law Taylia died suddenly on March 27, 2010. Leaving behind her loving husband Jeff, and four beautiful children Emma (7), Rebekah (5), Seth (3) and Alia (1) We love you Tay, and will miss you until we meet again.

While we are mourning the loss of our friend, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil. ~John Taylor

A baby girl...one of the most beautiful miracles in life, one of the greatest joys we can ever know, and one of the reasons why there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness in your world today. -- Author Unknown

Sometimes the only Sane thing to do is laugh

It is no surprise to anyone that Mia is a girly girl, and McKinlee shadows her every move, which makes her a girly girl by default. Last Saturday Mia was determined that her Daddy was going to give her a "real Pedicure" So being the loving dad he is...he did.


I had some foot soak salts and Josh put them in little tubs for the girls to soak their feet, this worked for a minute, until McKinlee decided that she wanted to soak more than her feet.




Then she decided that she was done so Josh cleaned her things up, a few moments later she decided that she wasn't done and Mia could share.

Then the girls made Josh give them a lotion massage...




and I got to paint their nails. McKinlee went first and we did her toes in red and her fingers bright pink...next it was Mia's turn...





While I was painting Mia's finger and toe nails...

McKinlee decided that I hadn't done a good enough job....Petty she said?
