Project 365 {January}

So I know I started this last year, keeping a side blog of my picture project and it only made it to the summer. I'm starting fresh this year. Janurary is done (no promises for the rest of the year). Working on journaling and will hopefully get it into my album soon.  

I've had a lot of fun being back into picture a day mode. Check out January by clicking the 365 icon on the sidebar or you can just click HERE.

Be back soon...

My computer got a virus...ugh. But the wonderful Mensonides family came to the rescue! Hurray. I should be back up and blogging by this weekend. In the mean time, check out Kristal Mensonides' blog Coleson & Tate. Also, check out her photography business blog, Kristal Joy Photography. I got the chance to "assist" her at a wedding this weekend, all though...I'm pretty sure my only assistance was one of these pictures she posted. Can you guess which one??? She's so good. I had NO idea what I was doing. Fun though.


Can't do links with the iPad....here you go:

Sprinkled

Saturday night I was "sprinkled" with love by a few of my friends and family members. A Sprinkle is like a Shower but only a Sprinkle. Get it? Small and not a full blown baby shower affair. It was perfect and I loved it. Thanks to Chelsea (and my mom) for putting it together. I loved the details Chels...pink and pretty. Thanks to Amy who gave me these pics.

Molly is due to arrive in 4 weeks and 5 days. This made me really excited for her arrival. I hope its sooner rather than later.

cheesy birthday

the birthday boys...

 did they eat these cupcakes?

NO.

but we did.

Kyla's "Blog" {Part 2}

Kyla has been walking around with her kid camera for about 48 hours straight now. She plays with it a ton and I've only ever downloaded the pictures to my computer once (since Easter). She had 690 on there....how many can it hold?? Anyways, she's always saying, "Mom, we should put this on your blog!" Here you go Kyla girl...a few of my favorites. Some made me laugh out loud.

 

Daddy's Party

Happy Birthday Daddy...(two days early).

...Love, these two "special girls"

Thursday is Casey's actual 31st birthday but we decided to celebrate as a family tonight. (We have other things going on other nights this week.) The girls planned the whole party. The theme: Cinderella (Daddy's favorite Disney princess, of course). They decorated with Cinderella plates and stickers and got ready to "surprise" him.

SURPRISE!!!

 The banner with a Cinderella carriage (on the left).

The presents: It's Lemon Meringue

(Daddy's favorite Strawberry Shortcake character of course). 

I love all their faces in this one.

A game of pin-the-tail on the donkey.  

And the dessert: Dirt in a Cup.

I know this is a contrast from the Cinderella theme

but a boy in Kyla's class once brought this for Star of the Week

and she thought it was a wonderful idea for a "boy dessert".

Girls like it too!



We love you Daddy!

Happy Birthday.

We hope you had a great time at the party.

Thanks for being fancy with us and for loving princesses,

crowns, ribbons, pink and US.

Star of the Week

Here she is!

The Star of the Week at preschool.

This typically happens on the week of your birthday

but Kyla got stuck with two snow days

and was out of luck on Star of the Week.

This is her make up week and she is super excited.

Being the Star of the Week comes with lots of privileges, so I'm told.

Mostly it sounds like you get to go first and are the teacher's helper.

But you also get to bring treats.

Kyla brought these crown cookies!

Very appropriate for "Q" week.

Queen of the Week?
