Happy First Birthday Trinity

We celebrated Trinity's birthday in Ohio but no pictures which I forgot to get from my mom. Any way we got home the day of Trinity's birthday and celebrated. Allan did a wonderful job with decorating and making a cake. From scratch no less. Trinity loved the presents but I think the boys liked them more.

She wanted to touch the candles.

After and before. Got them a little mixed up. Afterwards we had to play dress up and catch up wtih Daddy. It is amazing how fast she grows up. I swear with each get it gets faster. We are so blessed to have Trinity in our lifes and greatful for her too. Even when I was scared to have a girl. but for now it is working out.

Ohio Trip

We went to Ohio again. I am getting tired of going to Ohio. Most of the time we go to Ohio it really isn't for fun but we try to make it out to be fun. This time I took three kids and Nancy on a rode trip. Yep! We drove. The kids did wonderful. We stopped at pretty cool places like the candle shop in Indiana. Just in this trip we made it to 10 states: Wyoming, Nebraska, Illinios, Indiana, Ohio, Missiouri, Kansas, Colorado, and Utah. I think that is all of them. It took three days both way so 6 days of travel. We spend a couple of days with my Grandparents. Everyone came and of course we went to the zoo. Then we had to go to court. I think this is why I avoided this post because it is hard. I mean two months come on.
Riding Donovan's four wheeler at his dad's house. Great toy. Too expensive for me. Now Donovan has a real one. I am so excited. Not!

Reading while everyone else swims. Pretty funny. No swimming for me. Trinity decided she hates the water until she realized it was a big bathtub.

At the zoo. Pretty hard getting everyone too look. Especially when you have an Alex who would rather do anything than listen and a Trinity who could care less and Emma who will look but is done after a little while.

All the great grand kids with Granny Janney. Doesn't she look so happy. Yep point proven Alex and Emma not paying attention.

At grandma's we had to check out the backhoe. Too cute.

Okay so I know you are like what happened in court. I had to settle due to some events. I get Donovan for the summer, Christmas break, and spring break. I also can go out whenever and spend time with him. Derrick gets him for the school year. Not what I wanted but it is better than what it could be. I am dealing and trying to understand why this has to be like this? Still not sure. As August approaches it is getting harder. Especially when his dad bought him a four wheeler and the wonderful things that he comes home saying and knowing. So I am dealing. Some days are better than others. It could be worse.
