Today we decided to buy a yellow watermelon at Kaufland and try it out for lunch! I think I might have picked a bad one, so it's hard to say if it's tastier than a red watermelon, but Alexa sure loved it!

Baby girl got her first pair of tennis shoes the other day, so we decided to go try them out on our walk to the park.

I didn't manage to take a photo today... however, I've been surrounded by more images and photo shoots than I know what to do with! Speaking of which, here are a few sneak peaks of what I've been consuming my evening with today! My sister's wedding and little miss Ember.

Today we went to the Gartenschau in Kaiserslautern, AKA the Dinosoar Park and had all kinds of outdoor adventures. We played on swings, went down seriously BIG slides, saw dinosaurs, climbed ropes, went on a beautiful hike, and walked through many beautiful gardens. My favorite being the lavender maze. It looked so beautiful and smelled so great.
Every inch of this very large park is riddled with beauty and delightful entertainment. I can't wait to go back when Alexa is a little bit older and starts running around! She will love it even more!

She just learned to crawl and now she thinks it's time to walk.

Today Alexa couldn't sleep and the sky looked like this... so we went on a walk. And it was awesome.

"Life is as beautiful or as ugly as we decide to make it." I couldn't agree more. Someone left this lovely note on my gas pump just minutes after I embraced my husband one final time before his six month deployment. The timing of this sweet and simple reminder could not have been more perfect. Thank you kind stranger! I want to add that while this moment seems to be a fun and happy coincidence, I believe in a Heavenly Father who is infinitely aware of us and the trials we face. His love can be felt everywhere, in everything, and by anyone or in this case, a stranger. God bless.
