318/365: Cupcake Yummyness


The night before her birthday, and the day she was going to leave (very early in the morning), we had a little cupcake celebration for Kate.  

Happy Birthday my dear sister!  I'm so glad you came!!

Psst... this is what the rest of the cupcakes looked like.  YUM!

While Tia Kate was in town, we just had to take her to Pink Berry.

Once you have had one, you will always come back for more :)

For my sister's birthday weekend, she hopped on a plane to see me & we spent a fantastic Saturday afternoon in Amador enjoying the sights & the tasty wine they had to offer.

311/365: My Girl

Today I went searching for a place to take some photographs. 
Audrey agreed to be my model.
That is until I took the first shot.
"I'm done Mommy"
Grrrr

Admittedly, I was bugged.
I had timed our arrival just right to get the light that I wanted.
The field was dancing in the sunset.
Yet, she was still unwilling.
"Look, there are cows Mommy.  Can we feed them?"

I didn't realize until I got home later, after I loaded the pictures onto my computer, that I got pictures of her.... that defined her.


My girl loves to twirl.  


...and while I didn't end up getting an "awe" shot, 
I got one that tells me a lot about my little girl:
A girl who just had to have that specific dress because it was pretty. And it twirled.
A girl who still loves her ladybug rain boots, 
even though they are too small, and one boot is missing both antenna.
When I mentioned that her boots didn't quite match her dress, 
she looked at me like I was the one who was crazy.
A girl who demands on a daily basis to be dressed in dresses - 
yet she still gravitates towards sticks.
A girl who loves to have long flowing Rapunzel hair,  yet wants it pulled into a pony tail so that it will stay out of her face.

She has a strong personality, yes.... but she is my charming little girl.

310/365: My Buckeye Men


Josh recently went to Ohio to visit some family & came home with some fun stuff for the kids to wear...
They love dressing up like their Daddy.  
Especially Oliver.

308/365: Caught Sleeping...


Most of the time when I go in to get this little guy up from his nap, he is already awake.
Today he was not.  Lucky for me, my camera was near by.
