Love like an ocean...

I've got love like an ocean in my soul.
I am learning her every like.
I am learning her every worry.
I am learning her every joy.
She is not complicated...
She is easy to please.
She is easily entertained.
She knows I am her Meme.
Who loves her so much.
She loves me back.
Being far from each other won't matter. I am leaving my mark on her. She will remember me by the things I have taught her! She might even say ME ME before I go. She has the mmmmm part down!

Yesterday, on Tegan's birthday, we went to Kelley's Mom's house to visit and see Great Grandma Milly and Great Grandpa Skip! Deanna's parents are just so sweet! It was so nice to see them again!

Layla loves to see her Dramma Deanna!

Great Grandpa Skip was delighted to see Layla!
She studied him for a bit then felt comfortable in his gentle hands!

Great Grandma Milly had nothing but smiles for her sweet Layla Lynn!
They travel about 2 hours to come into town for doctors appointments. They leave up on the mountain in a beautiful area. I have seen only pictures of their home but I would love to visit one day!

Kelley was anxious to get Tegan home to open his birthday present from her and Laylabug!
Tegan opens Layla's card first...
Isn't this the sweetest picture?
A kiss for his little princess!
Kelley's card was a hoot... watch the magic~ arms down.
arms up!
Mommy and Layla watch to see if Papa likes his gift...
Tegan's face says YES, he does!
So glad to be here to share in all this birthday fun! Our next birthday is for this one...
Mya Brynn will be one on August 17th... I miss her and can't wait to travel to Venedocia when I get home for a sleepover with Cayden and Mya! Kisses to all my gems...Sarah, Molly, Cayden and Mya~ Meme will see you soon!

Dave... I am missing you too~

Happy Birthday Tegan James~ 24th to be exact!

Aren't you just the luckiest guy?

You have a beautiful wife, who loves you and a precious baby girl, who's little face lights up when you come into the room~ she ADORES you!

A Father, who is proud of the man you have become and a Mother, who loves everything about you!

Love has a hold on you...
It changes you in such positive ways, and makes you grow. Tegan, you are a wonderful "Papa"/ "Da Da" to Layla~ It Is Love. Happy Birthday~

Layla's Night Out!

I am having so much fun spending time with my Layla! She is just so funny~ you laugh and she laughs! You scream and she screams! Love her!

She tried some cheerios for the first time and loved them! She has really good fine motor skills!

Kelley is working on having her stand up~ on flat feet NOT her tippee toes!
She gets so excited!

I love taking her picture! I find that she makes so many different faces and that she is changing so much everyday! Just look at this series of shots...
So darn cute! Right?

We meet with Kelley's sister Sky for dinner. Sky has one daughter named Ella, who is so smart and so adorable! Ella is just going to be 2 in a few days.

Sky, Ella, Kelley, Layla and Tegan posing for my camera~
Layla loves to eat out!

Can you guess where we went?
Cute little cousins...
Just look at those eyes ~ A M A Z I N G ~
