Thing Two and her adorableness/haircut

Some days I just look at my kids, and can't help but say "Oh I love my kids!!". 

And then I continue to smother them in hugs and squishes and kisses, until they start to struggle to get away from their crazy mother, but they never leave without making me feeling like they are the best "things" that have happened to my dear husband and I (well, besides just being married, that's a pretty great thing too. :)

Little miss Thing 2, got a hair cut. From me, I might add. The only drastic hair cut I have ever done on any of my girls or anyone for that matter. Her hair was about 3 inches longer, curly and cute, but just not even, and she was due for a trim. So, about a month or so ago, I got brave and with what little knowledge I have about how to do an A-line cut, I start to snip away! 

I looooove Her profile!!! That little ski-slope nose is THE Best!!

Somehow it turned out great! She loves it, and with her mild natural curl, it works perfectly, all we have to do when her hair gets wet, is brush it all back. It dries and curls on its own, in its own little perfect way. :)

Cute little eyes that melt me, like Chocolate :)

Yesterday it just looked so cute on her, so I snapped a few photos. She is a sweet silly girl, and I just love her!

                          I Love this Kid!!!

Those are just some of the things this little girl is made of. 
Bless my heart.

Sweet little people

I love spring flowers, they never cease to make my backyard perfect for pictures :)

Oh what a sweet, sweet little baby!!! This is my friends little baby, born at the beginning of April, I loved taking pictures of her. I forget how little and fragile they are when they are newly born, and I was afraid to even pick her up, lol. She is so cute and cuddly!

Beautiful Gwen and her brand new baby :)

my favorite, I just want to squish her!!

already dressing like a princess :) This family was full of boys until she came, and now her mommy gets to enjoy a world full of  frills and flowers and Pink!

I love brand new,wrinkly, peely baby skin, it just shows how young she is, not very old at all

Congratulations Gwen, she is beautiful!!!!

Kissy Eyes

My little 5 year old Butterfly (thing 1) took this picture..........I feel I have a future partner on my hands :)

 

My "things"

It would be nice if I could get them to look at me and all smile at the same time,  but really..........I don't think this could have been much cuter :)      And Thing 3, is really getting the hang of being part of the clan:)

29+1

So it happened.........................................my birthday did come, and leap year didn't happen  like I wanted it to. I was hoping to just jump over February 17th, and I even celebrated being 29 last night with brownies, IceCream and staying up late. I woke up and well......my birthday still came. I figure I am going to turn 30 four times though, so this should be old school. How you ask?

When my spirit was created, 30 years later I turned 30..................

Then the day my body was actually created, was about 9 months before I was born, so technically I turned 30 about 9 months ago.............

Then of course today, my birth-day, and when my body is resurrected, I will turn 30 again. :) See, so today should really not be that bad. The hard thing, is this is the life where our bodies age, we get wrinkles (I found my first one next to an old dimple in my cheek, it can pass as a dimple for now), we loose important enzymes in our bodies that kept us vivacious before, my kids will start to go to school, and I will become a "soccor mom" I am sure of it. I already have the minivan for it. And it also means I am only 10 years from turning 40. Ugh. So I need to think about things that only 30 year old people get to do, and change it into a positive  experience.............hmmmmmmmmm.................Help......................haha!

Well, o.k., I will be taken more seriously maybe... I like that.
ummmm
I actually blew out all my candles this year! I used to get so frustrated and I would even practice. So this time I focused real well, and it was even my wish, and I did it! That's a positive thing for a 30 year old birthday......
Oh, and my sweet husband surprised me with a big giant balloon. It has been my dream for a loooooong time to just see a dealership balloon up close. I have been telling him for years that I have to have one sometime, and if I don't get one before I die, he needs to make sure to have some at my funeral, so I can sit on top of it and look down at my family, and they will know I am there. hehe
So he went and bought the biggest balloon he could get for me this year. Its way cool! (I still want a big red one at my funeral though, hehe).


I also got awesome couch covers and an awesome Elephant picture on a canvas wrap, and an awesome Zebra stripe dishes set from some wonderful ladies, and some money to spoil myself! :)
O.k., I feel better now :) Yay 30!             


eh hem. The End

New Songs on the Blog :)

So I added a playlist to my blog again. I love the song "Daughters" by John Mayer, I can't help it, I have 3 of them! I actually dedicated that song to Thing 1 before she was even born, so ya......its special to me. For kicks I wanted to see if there were any songs that had the words "Touch of Love" in them. I found 2, and they are fun, so ya I had to have them on here too. :)

I was going back through my old posts from when I started this blog, its was fun. Its crazy to see how much my pictures have changed in the last 2-3 years too. Partly because I used to use a "point and shoot", lol. Nothing against point and shoot cameras, but I Love My DSLR. I am so grateful I was able to get it too, its been lots of fun!

Anyway, I just thought I would write! Here are some pictures from when I first started to really get into this stuff. The pixel quality makes me cringe, haha

"Things" Birthdays :)

Thing 1 has hit the big 5, Thing 2, is almost the big 3, and thing 3 will be the big 8 months soon :) So I was of course excited for an excuse to do some new wall portraits :) Now I get to decide on which different process I want to print. ugh, how do you choose? Should I go with the original colored ones? Or go with the all black and white or all sepia, or the sepia with color and black and white with color? hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

My big ol' 5 year old kid now :) I can remember trying to imagine her as a 3 year old when she was just a baby....... and now she's 5, how'd that happed?! She is such a sunny little girl, her "Carol Tuttle" Type 1 energy is evident in her smile, and her personality and sense of humor is just as big :) I love her like crazy and I am so glad she chose our family, so we could have her bright spirit among us each day. :)

My big 2 year old, will be 3 in two days.............wow      She catches me off guard sometimes with the big things that she says. I can't wait to give her, her birthday present. Last year she got a ton of baby stuff.....This year? She is getting a changing table, with a highchair hooked on it, and places to put all her baby stuff. :) She loooooves her dolls, that is pretty much all she ever plays with. Every once in a while she will play with a pony or something, but it doesn't last very long and its right back to her baby. I remember seeing her in the N.I.C.U. all hooked up to hoses and monitors, with the nurses poking her hands, feet and head trying to get an I.V. in her chubby little skin. So sad, boy was I happy to get that little kid home with us, I am so grateful to have her in our family :)

"She will be my Tootsie, Wootsie!"    Yep that's what she is, and of course our "Guchi Gu", and "Wushy Gu",

 (both names invented by Thing 1), man is she sweet :) It's not her birthday yet, but I still had to do a picture of her too for the wall :) I just want to kiss those toesies :)


  Well, if you have any preferences, let me know, lol, I need help in deciding which ones to print.  :) Which ones would you do?
