My Little Valentine

I know it’s not Valentine’s Day yet, but I wanted to share a few pictures anyway. These were taken the other day before Bailey’s cooking class at the Early Childhood Center. She has gotten really into posing for the camera– which is quite a refreshing change from the tears and facing-hiding of a few months ago!

And a few from class-

My Little Flower Girl

Yes, she was the best flower girl ever. I was so, so proud of her. I was laughing AND had tears in my eyes as she walked down the aisle. These first few were taken before the ceremony. I will be ordering some of the professional pics from during the ceremony so that I can remember the way she looked forever!

Getting Ready

Reception

(Clapping as the bride and groom are introduced)

Can you tell she was getting really tired?

Here she was about two minutes into the car ride home and already falling asleep!

We enjoyed a Wendy’s stop on the way home. I miss Wendy’s since all of them around here closed

Congratulations and Best Wishes to Faith and Bryan. It was so good to see you guys. And Bailey has been playing “wedding” since we got home, with my bouquet and her flower basket. It usually starts out, “Mom, let’s play wedding! You’re Uncle Bryan and I’m Aunt Faith!”

Wordless Wednesday- Princess

This is my princess.

She likes to wear heels with jeans.

She prefers to wear her tiara backwards.

She likes to eat cookies and not get her mouth wiped off.

But isn’t she beautiful?

It’s rough being a model…

Some outtakes from our photo shoot the other morning. It didn’t go so well!

The lollipop bribe didn’t really make things any better either…

(I had a lot of people ask about this outfit when she wore it the other day. If you’re curious- it’s Lots of Dots from Gymboree 2008. And I think the “remake” is available at the outlets right now. This line has super super cute stuff. We have a few sets from it and I intend to track down more for next year!)

I am so thankful

Took a few pictures around the house/during dinner the other day. Since I’ve been grouchy, and looking at pics of Bailey always cheers me up, I thought I would share a few-

Little Cupcake Cutie

This is what happens when a two year old doesn’t want to cooperate with picture taking…

But then when you offer her a piece of candy if she goes along with it…

It works wonders. Sometimes, we resort to bribery at our house. Whatever. Later that day she was in a funny mood and found a pair of Daddy’s earphones.

Happy Memorial Day!

Not much going on around here. Just delivered some Avon and visited my grandparents. Jonathon and I are going to grill and I am making some key lime pie for him. Just a nice, low-key family day.

Thank you to all the men and women who have sacrificed for our country! We appreciate what you have done and we always pray for our military. We are so blessed to live in a free country.

Christmas Photo Bloopers

Filed Under Posing for Pictures, Seven Months | 5 Comments

Last night, we had such a horrible time trying to take Christmas pictures of Bailey that I thought I would share the pics just so everyone else could laugh too. It started out bad and just got worse and worse. I thought it would be cute to get a few naked booty/Santa hat pictures but that didn’t work out so well either. Then at the end, we tried to take some family pictures. Between my three chins and Bailey’s tongue, none of those are going to work. Boo.
