birthday wishes to david!

here's a happy late birthday wish to my handsome nephew david:)the last time i saw you, there were many things you did to make me never forget how wonderful you are:
I loved tickling your neck, and you laughing hysterically.
I loved how you were just so patient with nana and saione. (but i've heard its different now that your older and more aware of they they are doing to you)
i loved your umas:)
i loved the way you'd cry for mom and crawl to me thinking i was her
i loved making you smile, even if it made me look like a complete lunatic!
i loved it when your helmet would squeeze your face down
and i just flat out love you baby david:! I can't wait to see you in august!

love,

Aunty Lape:)

one word to explain my feelings after seeing toy story 3 in theaters: ......not possible. It was everything i hoped it would be:). Within 2 minutes of the movie it was able to take me back to the good ol' days, being home 24/7 with all my siblings watching movies and playing outside. it was so cool to play outside. Boy do miss those days.

In toy story 3 Andy went off to college leaving his toys behind, it was pretty sad...and... well, who am i fooling? i cried big time.

Graduating high school is a huge step i've come to realized after watching toy story 3..and yes i learn many life lessons through disney channel and disney movies..where would i be without them? BUT! as i was saying, college is just around the corner, and im reading all the college tip books i can get my hands on!
They have a lot of GOOD STUFF to offer a
clueless freshman like myself..



ps. Ian purchased this new CTR ring for me, since my other one went missing..he's so thoughtful and i'm so lucky :)

just let dad fix it..

A dad is someone who
wants to catch you before you fall
but instead picks you up,
brushes you off,
and lets you try again.

A dad is someone who
wants to keep you from making mistakes
but instead lets you find your own way,
even though his heart breaks in silence
when you get hurt.

A dad is someone who has faith in you even when you fail..


I am beyond greatful for dads and the love they share. They are quietly always there guiding you through life, and tough trials. They are there for it all with open arms and a warm smile. HAPPY FATHERS DAY:)
