BEWARE: CUTENESS OVERLOAD - Memorial Day Weekend 2013

Memorial Weekend 2013 - Friends, Family, and of course Food.

Welcome to the beginning of cookout season.  I have a love/hate relationship with this for the obvious reasons!!!

This year we went back up to Ellie's birthplace for a going away party for a dear friend, Big George.  He is transferring to the great state of Texas (whooo!  did you like that Dave??).  He made this amazing cradle boat you see in these photos for our Ellie Reese.  What a guy!

Ellie and her BFF got a lot of quality time together, which was so freaking cute!  I love them.  If Ellie had a twin, I'd definitely want it to be Bella.  They are just so much fun together.  They nap, bathe, eat and play together...perfect!

So, here's your warning.  Super, uber cute kiddos coming up!  If you don't like babies, you will.  If you have been thinking about kids, here's to baby fever.  If you already love kids, you're welcome!  =)


This is how we do our makeup

Hugs while driving, perfectly acceptable

Honestly....no words for the cuteness captured here.
"I really like your dress."  "I love your tutu"

Dress up time!

Happy Mom's Day (2013)

I love this day.  I love it for many reasons.

I love it because I get to celebrate my mother; a strong, resilient woman who will always be there for me.

I love it because after years of trying and fertility treatments we have been blessed with the perfect, little, beautiful, girl.

I love it because my husband has to make me eggs... and he hates eggs.

I love it because I will now get to start accumulating adorable handmade gifts from my sweet girl.

I love it because it's a day to remember all those moms who are no longer with us, yet their love and spirits live on in their loved ones and in memory.

I love it because first time moms really understand the unconditional love and devotion that only moms can provide their children.  Happened to me last year.

I love that card makers even make Happy Mother's Day cards from the dogs :)

I love this day because I love being a mom!!!

Happy Mother's Day.

Been waiting for this forever....


Love this!


My sweet girl
