Living through Audrey

I must admit that I am living vicariously through my daughter. For anyone who knew me in high school, I was obsessed with the thought of one day being a "cowgirl" living on a farm, marrying a cowboy, and not just any cowboy, but a black cow boy. Which would explain the e-mail address of blackcowboy22@hotmail.com until A COUPLE OF YEARS after high school. And the license plate holder that said, "not a cowboy, not a chance" that my brother Michael still drives around on the Bravada. Needless to say, Trav has a lot of work to do until he makes all my dreams come true!!

Anyways, we went to the Riverton rodeo on Friday night and it was so much fun! Travis had 8 million hours of work, but decided that he wanted to come with us. I'm so glad he did. We really did have a blast!

I dressed Audrey in the way that I secretly wanted to be dressed, and she even found herself a cowboy boyfriend...lucky! J/K

Here are some pictures of the cutest cowgirl around!!!

Uncle Michael

Doesn't he look like the best uncle? Michael just graduated from Brighton High School this year and is awaiting his mission call. I can't believe my little brother will be going on a mission? He has pretty much ROCKED most everything that the sets out to do, so I'm sure this mission thing will be cake...(coming from the girl who never served one...)

 

My 3 O'clock appointment

Remember how my 3 O'clock appointment came in and told me that he was looking for a relaxing massage. Easy enough...right? Well, when I re-entered the room he proceeded to tell me that he had a condition call E.D. and asked me if I knew what it was...I was TOTALLY freaking out. I said "yes" and he went on to tell me that he was getting a massage to relax because he had potential to basically "get some" that night and being relaxed usually helps. Omyhell, so inappropriate. It was one of the worst massages ever. Not to mention he moaned the whole time. SICK! And not to mention that he was an old man.

Confession...

This will come as no surprise to those of you who have known me for a long time, but I must admit that I am a little bit obsessed with death. For example I've written and re-written my obituary like 8 million times. If Trav isn't answering his phone for like the 5th hour that day, (Which for Travis isn't unusual, actually quite typical) his funeral replays in my head over and over in my pretty little head. (morbid I know)... It really surprising to me that Trav and I don't have a will or even life insurance. Because I'm often thinking about when it's going to happen.

This last week hasn't been helping my little obsession. First I was reading my cousin Laura's blog and found out about these two families who have lost children in tragic accidents, Ava and Lucy. These two families have been on my mind almost constantly since last week and then today while catching up on Cairens blog she had a link to one of her friends who lost their baby Camille.

I'm in need of an intervention. I'm consumed with grief for these families. Families that I don't even know. I truly feel as if these untimely deaths have effected me personally. I woke up like 3 time last night to check on Audrey. I guess hoping that she didn't die of S.I.D.S or something. (Yeah I know that she couldn't)

I guess what I need to take out of this is to hold my babies closer and be sweet and kind as much as possible. I just know that I couldn't live with myself WISHING that I had done things differently if something were to happen, ya know?

I just wanted to wish cutest Trav a Happy Fathers day! We spent most of the day just visiting others, which seems silly since it's his day too. So, sorry babe, maybe when we're old (older) we can just stay home and people will come to visit us!

This was Trav's 4th fathers day; Audrey was just a tiny babe on the first. I mean like 2 weeks old! I can't even stand to think how much she, and we, have changed since she was 2 weeks old. All I know for sure is that she sure loves her daddy and they have fun together.
