Moving on

I have been thinking about this little blog of mine ALOT lately. I used to love posting snippets of our life on it and going back reading through things (its my online journal). Truth is I stopped looking at my blog or wanting to post anything to it, to me it just become dark and sad (which I guess is a true depiction of where I was in my life).  I thought about starting a new blog and letting this one go, but then I thought just as my life we don't just start new we move past things so that's what I am doing. I am not promising there will never be any sad post on here (this is my journal after all), I am going to be more diligent in posting happy memories and good times. :)

Two years!

Dad…
I don’t know what to write anymore… As I sit here browsing through pictures of tender memories of a father, a childhood, a family structure that is gone. I cant help but cry out for you… I have so many questions; I NEED you dad.  What I would do just talk to you once again… I can not believe that it has already been two years since that night.  I miss and love you more than words will ever express and I hope that you can feel the love that your kids and grandkids have for you.

Does this mean we are Adults?

  I am not sure who was more excited about Kevin's graduation  me or him. Kevin graduated with a B.S.B.M, from the University of Phoenix.  I will admit at times it felt like this day was never going to come. Maybe that’s why my big ideas almost took ever (Yes, I wanted to plan a Party/BBQ and Yes I wanted to go on a little Vacation- Both of which were shot down) I tend it to get a little carried away, I will admit… But I was excited. I have to admit although my ideas were shot down the day turned out perfect… Kevin kept telling me all he wanted to do was go to dinner with family after his graduation so that’s exactly what we did and it was great.

I truly am so proud of Kevin, I may be a little bias but, I think he is the smartest, most talented person I know…Not to mention, Best husband, Father and Friend… I thank my lucky stars everyday that I get to call him my hubby.

I am a horrible blogger… I totally failed and thought that our little point and shoot camera would work just fine for me take Pictures of the graduation… WRONG – The lighting was way to dark so needless to say; I had a a wife and blogger fail. We really do not have any pictures of the graduation. (I have a really nice, Digital SLR camera do you think I would ever use the thing… nope.)

iPhone+Instagram to the Rescue…

Charades

Oh This poor little Blog of mine… She has become so neglected! I wish I could say I was out doing something amazing maybe exploring new places… But sadly that is not the case, truth be told I have been feeling quite down. Those of you that are close to me know what I have been through and continue to go though… And I want to say thank you for sticking by Kevin and I. I know its been almost 2 year (actually its been much longer than that), but my heart still aches as if it was the first day.  I often wonder if the pain will  stop and If I will ever have peace in my heart? I have tried and continue to try  to be strong and ensure everyone that everything is ok… when deep down I know its not, and I am pretty sure you all know. But the game of Charades counties I guess that’s what we do as humans we want everyone “looking” in to think all is good for fear that stones may be thrown at our glass houses.

I am not sure where I would be, but most defiantly I would not be here; If it was not for Kevin and Charly. I have an amazingly strong husband, As most of you know Kevin is genuine and true to the person he was raised to be (Kudos to Keith and Lynnette); and I thank the Lord everyday that he is mine.

And seriously who could not be happy when you have this adorable little girl hanging around? 

I know I need to snap out of my funk.. After all big things are going to start happening at the Pickett house I can feel it!

Happy Valentines Day!

Mrs. Clean

Before I had Charly I used to wonder why girls would always chop off there hair after they had kids. For a while I thought that maybe it was easier to do, (But really I think shorter hair is harder to do there is no just pulling it back) so that did not make sense…

Well I am hear to say I now know why… Your hairs falls out and its not just a few strands here and there… Oh no it is in clumps; And even more annoying your hair is everywhere, I hear this from Kevin often “Jamie your hair is all over everything” Its true my bathroom floor, the shower, the couch, the car, the ENTIRE house…

So with that I have a confession to make…  I lay in bed at night wondering what I would like as this guy….

New Trick. . .

 I absolutely adore this picture… Look at Kevin’s face… I Love how tiny Chary looks in his big hands… Look at that little Butt… Ahhh Precious.  This was Charly’s first bath at home. (7-3-2011) .

This was the first time she took a bath in her Whale tub (7-20-2011) . Charly LOVES her whale tub, she would just lay there and relax…

Well Folks… Times have changed gone are the days of just laying back and Relaxing…

This chick has a new Trick… Rolling in the Tub, along with trying to climb out (Sorry no pictures, I was busy wrangling the child) … I think our days using the Whale tub are number… (Date taken 1/14/12) 

 

There is one thing that I know will never change… Miss Roxie supervising bath time… I am pretty sure she does not think Kevin and I are qualified… She may be right! 

Seriously when did my little baby get so BIG…

*If anyone know where I can buy a bath seat please let me know.
