Sunday Snapshot~ Boots

we've come full circle.

when the First Lady was just over 4 we decided it was time.

time to look for that little one that would one day be her sister,

and share her clothes.

you see, when we made that decision I began to set aside the First Lady's clothes that she had grown out of hoping a new little sister would wear them someday.

that day has come. behold our Lil' Lady proudly sporting her big sister's cowboy boots....

just her size.

unfortunately she can't wear them with her ankle braces but we won't tell her therapist.

after all, she won't be ropin' cattle or anything.

it's just a heckuva good time to wear'em, right?

oh, and the polka-dot dress was part of the First Lady's 2008 line too:)

February Flew

not much happened in February which is just they way I like it. it did go fast though... i can't believe it's March already! so i trolled through my camera to see what pics i never uploaded and there wasn't much. it was a busy month i tell ya. homework,homework and more homework and that was just the hubs and myself. i'm not accustomed to bringing my work home. ever. but with being .8 this year and only being at school 4 days a week yearbook is killing me so it came home. of course the kids had their fare share too. our oldest and his girlfriend. yeah i said girfriend. this has got to be a middle school record, they've been an item now for over two months. took them to the mall and as they were walking away i have to admit i was feeling a bit sad about time moving way to fast. so i thought i'd be coy and snap a picture from the escalator but she turned around and caught me.
took the First Lady and grandma to see the Princess Diana exhibit for my mom's birthday. no pics allowed except at entrance and exit but got to see her wedding dress (wow) and such wonderful things as her childhood toys and many of her gowns and dresses.
totally worth it:)
Our Lil' Lady growin' like a weed and talking a blue streak
and this. this is our second emerging from the boys locker room. i drove him back to school one night to retrieve the dirty clothes he never remembers to bring home. yes, that trash bag is full. so we stopped at his school locker too.....
and found 7 hoodies and 3 hats
i love it.
God is Good:)

Sunday Snapshot~ Missing summer

so here i am posting august pics in february. you'd think after this mild winter we're having i wouldn't be missing summer so bad, but i am. only about 80 or so more days until summer break! a different look at baseball season brought to you by the First Lady

hangin' out at the water park

my brother and family coming all the way from NC to visit

and Lil' Lady and cousin meeting for the first time. they bonded over dinosaurs.

this guy loves anything with wheels.....

even if it's a fairy tea cart.

working on the soccer net for our second's birthday party

and our attempt to get a picture with all of the cousins together.

1 outta 5

3 outta 5

back to 1 outta 5

and then 2 outta 5 actually looking at the camera. see what i mean?
so we changed the backdrop.....

and then just waited for the Lil' lady to run through the shot

these two had a fair foot race

interference was or was not called, i don't remember

and then something entirely different was attempted

and the loser was left crawling to the finish line

the ref?

yep, i miss those summer days. the green grass, the smell of the rain on hot concrete

the late nights goofing off in bed

and the backyard campfires which are the perfect ending to the day because they have that wonderful calming effect:)

can't wait for summer 2012....

better get lookin' for those mary jane crocs in her size soon!
