all that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother

I LOVE LUCY

meet pearl

ok so we all got together at grandma millers house 

and em {grandma's sister-in-law} came over with her daughter, kathy, and kathy's daughter, pearl. \\if that makes any sense whatsoever\\ BUT we're second cousins

ok so we hung out tonight and she's a pretty chill 10 y/o..

even though we probably will never see each other until our next hillbilly reunion, it's nice to know that there is actually hope for success on the Gilbert side of the family..

oh, and these pictures are from when she was playing flappy bird
