Auburn had to try out the new drum set for the upcoming ROCK AND ROLL mini’s! Date for these mini’s will be released monday! get ready for some fun, and I will need some ear plugs for sure for these mini’s!

peace, love and ROCK AND ROLL!

this little love sure does keep me on my toes. the summer months have flown by and have been so wonderful. three years is just so fun! just when i thought nothing could be better than my little two year old, she is blowing my mind with her three year old cuteness! changing so fast and lighting up our life, little sunflower…..ten things that i am loving about her right this second…..

1. her “morning kiss” she insists on giving me each morning.

2. when i tuck her in at night and head to leave the room she says “night momma, you are my bestest friend”

3. how she laughs at her own jokes. thinking everything she says is so funny and throwing her head back in laughter…

4. naked girl. naked girl. she is a summer nudest!!! the second she gets home she strips down to nothing and stays that way until bed. the girl loves to be in her birthday suit!

5.  princess lover……she LOVES to play princess. to talk about princess. her favorite is Belle. she LOVES belle!

6. disgusting and delicious. two words she learned a few weeks back. my favorite is when she gets them confused and says “yum, this cookie is disgusting!!”

7.  i love when she tells me “momma, i dreamed about ponies, horses, and unicorns last night”

8. her kindness.

9. her bossiness. having two close in age but older cousins means that she gets bossed around quite a bit. so, she gets bossy any chance she gets! with her dolls, trudy (our dog) and friends who come and play. i can only imagine how bossy she might be to a sibling someday

10. i love how much she is a momma / daddy girl. giving us HUGE hugs, wanting to snuggle. saying “who wants to play with me, it will be so fun guys” in her high pitch girlie voice…..i know that it won’t always be that she wants us around all the time, so we are soaking up every second.

Just a few of the million things i am loving about little miss auburn lately…..love you sunflower!

I cannot tell you what the photos below mean to me….I am SUCH a daddy’s girl and always have been. There are just dad’s out there meant to be a dad to a little girl and my dad is one of those (my hubs is one of those dad’s too)…..It melts my heart to see him with auburn. to see the sparkle in his eye. to see her just like I was with him. curled up on his lap….begging him for candy that he ALWAYS has in his pocket….holding his hand…being the apple of his eye…..I just love the bond these two share. Happy Birthday to my dad, who is not fond of the computer and you never see him on one…..but, my mom is a certified bog stalker and might see this to pass his way I love you dad. thank you for being my lifelong hero, my biggest fan, and a constant supporter of all my dreams. I will NEVER forget you saying to me as a child “you can be whatever you want to be in life….I don’t care if you are a trash man as long as you love it..” well, dad, I have found my dream in life and the job I love. thanks for always letting me know that I could do anything! thanks for the example you set as a husband, father, papa and man. you taught me how to love and be loved. you are amazing and I  love you so much!!!! and, like we said every night before you tucked me into bed – “love you most, bestest, and everything!”

having a blast at the beach……nothing cuter than this little beach bum….

peace and love!

this little lady LOVES her some SUMMER! Swimming, camping, running around all over the place….Just cannot get enough of this little sunflower of mine….heading to the beach next month where i am SURE she will be soaking up more summer fun!

peace, love and summer!

seems crazy to the hubs and I that she is old enough to attend these things…and, for a bit I thought she was a little too young for a day camp this summer….even though the camp was for three and four year old’s I kept saying “well, she juuussttt turned three…..”  but, knowing that her aunt dana and other amazing staff would be by her side we sent auburn to the oklahoma children’s theater for a WONDERFUL week of Dino Camp! She had so much fun and was singing and dancing it up all week! we were as nerdy as it gets and she had a whole group of people there to watch her show today. camera’s in hand and smiles on our faces…..it was so cute we could not stand it! they truly have a good thing going ot the oklahoma children’s theater camp and I love seeing the kiddos in the arts!!!

auburn had her very first ballet class last week! she is the tiny one in the pics it is a three and four year old class and she was so excited to dance! of course, i had the cutest little outfit picked out for her, but she insisted on the pink one..ha! that girl….she hugged her teacher at the end and is already asking like crazy when we go again…..it was too cute!!! still can’t believe she is three and doing these kinds of activities…..sigh….

peace, love and ballet!

(she is the last one on the right….)

I sure won’t be writing much, or it is FOR SURE that I will cry…..I keep saying to myself, that i won’t be as emotional as i was the past year on her birthday. but, the time comes again and i find myself a sappy momma…..She is three…..It does not seem real. seems like she was just……

one month old…

or one year old….

two years old….

nope, she is three…..

and, as the time goes by so quickly i can still look at her and see that baby face. snuggle her and remember her 7 pound self asleep on my chest. watch her tonight at her first little ballet class. wonder how she can be skipping across the stage when she was just in my belly not long ago. i am amazed by her spirit. in love with her laugh. moved by her love. proud to call her my daughter. honored to be her momma. happy third birthday little sunflower. thank you for making our lives so bright. thank you for filling our days with your sunshine soul. happy birthday to you.

peace, love and cupcakes!

party celebration pics to follow!

Forgive me as I am on the my baby girl kick the last few posts…Just can’t get enough of that silly girl….auburn and i love our panera dates a few mornings a week and this week she decided that she wanted to wear her tutu to breakfast…Made a stop to get a few photos of her running around and they just melt my heart. i was pleased to get her 3 year pics earlier than i had planned……love you sunflower!

Peace and Love!

singing her favorite song “mamma mia” and busting out a dance

I have been SO HONORED to capture the first year of baby mia’s life…..From her very first newborn photos to now her one year pics….It has been so amazing! She is a doll, a photographers dream. I just love her so much. Auburn LOVES her too….After saying her prayers at night she always adds “jesus take care of my baby mia” it is pretty dang cute!! we went to the paseo on a BEAUTIFUL afternoon for some photos of our baby girls. They did so good even though they had missed there naps. Forgot how much I love the Paseo and have missed shooting there all winter! here comes spring!

Peace and Love!

can you believe how adorable she is? it is beyond words!!!

aub loves to cheese it up!

best buds…
