locks of love

Alannah has been growing her hair out for over 2 years, and she finally got her hair cut for Locks of Love! It was an exciting day. I love her new look!! 

Busy busy... why is the last 2 weeks of school a whirlwind of events?? I'm finishing up a dolphin costume for Alannah's class play this week... yes only one dolphin costume! YAY! But I did help paint the back drop. Also trying to work on three wedding album designs at the same time! I also have an really super cute photoshoot I can't wait to share soon.  So I'll be back soon... xoxoxoxox

SILHOUETTE MACHINE GIVEAWAY!!!!

SILHOUETTE MACHINE GIVEAWAY!!!!

[happy mother's day 2011!!]

I just wanted to wish all the mom's out there a fabulous mother's day! May you be showered with kisses, surrounded by laughter, inundated with hugs and filled with L-O-V-E!

For me, it feels like my life began when I met my husband and had my first precious girl. And soon after I was blessed with another baby girl and I'm so thankful that I had them early so that I could spend the rest of my life enjoying EVERY. MINUTE.  with them. I love them more than words can say and I am so thankful that I've been given this opportunity to nurture, guide, and spoil them rotten! I am so very proud of each of them, they're both so smart, sweet, complex and so much fun!! 

There's not enough time in the day for us to do all the things we do but our top five favorite things to do together is:

1. Snuggle in bed and watch our favorite T.V. shows

2. Give each other manicures

3. Hang out by the pool and swim all day

4. Ride in the car with the music turned up high and sing songs with the sunroof open

5. Crafting together, be it beading, sewing, painting or whatever!!! They love it!

[these boots were made for riding!]

Alannah has been growing so fast, in the last 6 months she went from size 3 girls to size 5.5 womens! CRAZY! We finally found some boots that fit her after purchasing and returning two pairs! She is so happy! She also had to get new breeches too, I swear my dryer must be shrinking clothes, no way can these girls be growing out of their clothes so fast!!

Look at these two... they're totally posing for me!

Doesn't she look so cute! I love that she would rather spend all day at the barn than all day at the mall. Nothing looks cuter than a gal in riding gear. Makes me want to pick up the sport just so I can have a reason to wear riding boots and breeches! Hahah

Here she is grooming the horse she rides most often, his name is Flash and his pretty quick!

If only she weren't so allergic to animals, she'd be living at the barn.
