My intention to do blog posts is definitely there... I have many drafts with pictures that I just haven't added words to.. and published. This is one of those.. From probably like... August of 2014? I did a compilation of pictures of things that I took Samarah to do..
I have struggled to spend quality time with Samarah. I always let all the 'things I have to do' get in the way, and even when I try to spend quality time with her, I have a hard time enjoying it because my brain is still occupied with thought of all the things that need to be done. I'm trying to break the habit, and it has a been much harder than I thought it would be. Slowly but surely, I'm working on it. And now, even with my list of things to do, and my stress level being higher than probably ever in my life, its more important than ever, that I leave the stuff be, and focus on her. I'm really trying.
We made a splash pad date on one of my days off.
Met a friend of mine in a beautiful area to go and feed ducks, Samarah loved it
Love that smile, and crazy hair :)
My damn dog kept jumping in the water and scaring the ducks off!!
Took her to the Farmers market in Provo and got her face painted, she loves getting her face painted. and then did the splash pad after :)
Took her to this amazing area that I didn't even know about!!!!! Not that far from me. Can you say WOW on the scenery????? What an amazing little area to go enjoy. She just loved it, I heard its kind of dirty though so I didn't let her play in the shallow water much, but we walked and played in the sand and just made an afternoon of it. Look at those mountains!
Now that I know about it, I want to go again this summer!
Have picnics on the beach, and get some color on our white skin. PS-Samarah has like porcelain white skin.
Got to watch a beautiful sunset as well. What a bonus.
I started looking at events and things to do at the library. So I took her to like a welcoming fall event or something, I honestly cant' even remember what the purpose was but it was fun.
Then of course the princess tea party, which I did en entire post on.. I will definitely be taking her to any and every one in the future! maybe a tradition for her and I. Ugh, as I write that, it makes me sad and mad that Chris isn't going to be here to make memories and traditions with her. Its amazing how pretty much every day something else reminds of sucky things because of his death.
Took her to Jakers pumpkin patch in Springville. Such an amazing way to have fun for free! Thank you Harward Farms for dong this every year what a great community event. They have tractor/wagon rides, a corn pit, slides, a little haunted trailers, animals to look at, a petting zoo. Working the late shift always, makes me so limited on things that I can do with her because I usually get off when its dark and its bedtime. and then on my days off, its usually always so packed that its not fun. So I took some time off one day and left early so that I could take her and enjoy time.. I took her several times in October.
Her coming out of the slide. In a dress... yeah that was a mistake on my part. Her poor legs :(
On the wagon ride..
Precious little girl.
Then we bought a pumpkin from Jakers... and I kept telling her we would paint it but it was always inconvenient timing, and she kept asking and I finally said okay we can. I should have just let her sooner, like I said, I'm working on it. But she loved it.
Its going to be difficult with Chris not here. On the weekends he would keep her (He had her every day too, and every other weekend) I would get all these things done, and then try to spend time with her on my weekends. Its going to be hard to do things because I'm trying to do all of that with no time in between to catch up even on basic house chores. But I'm going to try my damndest.
I love you Samarah. Mommy is trying.
