Falling back in love…

February 19, 2013

We’ve had a love-hate relationship. We fight all the time and the moment I think everything is working out perfectly, I look back and see nothing but a mess. I’m often embarrassed and constantly stress out when we are in public situations that require complete harmony. But I’m trying to learn how to fall back [...]

Vacation Photobomb!

October 31, 2012

The first year we took B on vacation with us, I took roughly 500 pictures. Last year, about the same. (I was trying to get family photos.) This year? 200. I know. I’m slacking. It was because of a few reasons: One, I accidentally deleted about 80+ photos of our vacation. I am still completely [...]

The Little Gym – Costume Party!

October 15, 2012

Saturday night, Bluebelle went to her first costume party! It gave us a trial run on the costume and an excuse for me to take pictures. My dear friends Nichole and Brittney were in visiting that day and they were lifesavers. There’s no way I could have taken pictures and kept tabs on B at the [...]

Favorite Photo of Summer

September 29, 2012

I thought I’d link up with the Paper Mama to do her Photo Challenge this week. I thought it would be the easiest: Favorite Photo of Summer. It’s actually really hard, because I can’t decide on a favorite! I couldn’t decide if I wanted my favorite moment or the photo with the prettiest lighting. I [...]

Playing outside

September 27, 2012

Sometimes I am stunned that so much time has passed since I had her. She looks like a little adult to me sometimes, but sometimes she still looks like my baby. Today, I took my camera with me while we went for our morning explore. I’m trying to work on my photography skills, but I’m [...]

State Fair 2012!

September 26, 2012

This past weekend we went to Oklahoma so my brother and Todd could go to the Blue Man Group concert on Saturday. Sunday was our annual trip to the state fair! Now, while we live in Texas now, and Texas’ state fair is amazing, I tend to prefer the Oklahoma state fair with a child. [...]

Wordless{ish} Wednesday: Aunt Jean-Jean

August 29, 2012

Do you ever take a ton of pictures to realize later that you’re not quite pleased with the end result? You’re about to see some. Even though they weren’t the best quality, the memories behind the photos were much better than the photos themselves and they tell the story I wanted to tell. Sometimes that’s [...]

Family Pictures… a month or so later.

May 17, 2012

Sometimes I’m kind of a bad blogger. More than a month ago, my dear friend Lindsay Steele took some quick family/2 year pics for us. Let me describe to you the day. We had been on the road all morning, driving from Oklahoma to Texas. We took pictures during the grumpy time around dinner right [...]

B’s 2nd Birthday Party!

April 9, 2012

We celebrated B’s second birthday on March 31! For the record — I don’t think I ever want to have her birthday party that close to mine again. It got a little confusing and a little too hectic! Throwing parties reminds me of my event planning days – and I forget every time how many [...]
