Katie Grace 22 months

Just a few more days and she'll be 23 months, but here's a little snapshot of the blossoming personality of our almost 2yr old! We love our sweet and silly girl so much!

SOOOO BIG!!!

Aloha! Mary Clare's 13th Birthday Luau!

13 year-olds are great! They know what they want for their party, can find ideas on Pinterest, and carry them out! All I had to do was take them to Party City and HEB, help with cleaning up, hang some of the high streamers, and order pizza! 

She and Ellie did all of the baking and decorating, and she had a fun party just hanging out with her friends, plus a little hula dancing thanks to her mom...and some watching of old home movies. They made little beach cupcakes, fruit kabobs, snickerdoodle sand dollar cookies, and flip flop nutterbutter cookies, plus had some pizza and soda! It was a fun afternoon celebrating a fun girl!

And the lights literally go out on her little-girlhood!

We have a teenager in the house!

HAPPY 13TH, MARY CLARE!

366 Project

I'm in a photography group, and many of the ladies in the group did a photo-a-day project last year. I attempted, but didn't make it very far. This year I'm motivated and ready to improve on my photography skills, especially since I just got a new lens (and am hoping at some point this year I might be able to get a new camera). Here are my first 10 of 366....
