Rylee Sue is TWO!

I can't believe two years have flown by. My dear friend Heather, is celebrating her sweet baby girls second birthday this weekend. Watching Rylee grow from an infant into a typical fun toddler has been so special. I shared in the special day of her delivery so this little princess is extra special to me.

She's full of energy, has gorgeous brown eyes, a smile that melts me and she shares the sweetest "I wuv you!".  She brings her family so much joy. I am grateful to know them, and to celebrate this sweet baby girls birthday!


Heather, she's precious. I love her so much!! Thank you for the opportunity to capture her once again in front of my camera!! I love you both!


Miss Rylee Sue, I love you sweet girl. I pray that you continue to grow big and strong. You are one very loved little girl.  I hope your second birthday is a day filled with lots and lots of giggles, and fun!  Hugs and kisses baby girl!  xoxo

It's time to say goodbye

Big boys don't drink from sippy cups, right?  Well, then it's time that these suckers take a plunge out of my cabinet and into the trash!  And that is just what happened this weekend!!

I had been talking to Carter about we needed to toss his sippy cups.  Each time it turned into a heated discussion and to be quite honest rather then pressing the issue I just let it go.  He'll get rid of them when he's ready, right?  So, with his birthday right around the corner I brought up tossing the cups.  He looked at me and with excitement he said, "Sure mom!  Let's toss 'em!"  So, I found a big bag, put him up on the counter and one by one he tossed each one of them away.  

Yes I know what some of you are thinking.  Three year old still drinking from a sippy cup?  Yes, he was.  He can drink perfectly fine out of a regular cup, but I was avoiding spills all over our carpet and less clean up for myself.  There, I said it... I'm lazy! :)  But not anymore, now we must just endure the fact that Kool-Aid, chocolate milk, or tea could end up on the floors.  Nothing a little Resolve can't take out is it?!  

Watching him toss those cups, another clear indication I don't have a baby Carter anymore.  I am not really sure why but turning four is a little hard for me.  It's that I'm not a baby anymore stage, I'm a big boy.  Quite frankly, I'd like to keep him little but I haven't quite figured out how to make time stand still yet, so... to heck with that idea.  

So if you come to visit us, hope you are drinking out of a cup otherwise you'll be sipping from Tucker's bottles! :0

Memory Monday...

One year ago today, was Father's Day.  We had lunch at our house, and Carter helped with the food.  These pictures are of him washing the potatoes!! :)

Doing Memory Monday has really sent me down memory lane!!  You forget how quickly things change and it becomes even more evident of how quickly your children grow when you are forced to go back and find a picture from a year ago!!  

With Father's Day on the horizon, what's everyone planning on getting the Dad in your life??
