Happy birthday to US!!!

That's right... happy birthday to big pappa and lil' mama!!

So maybe it's about week before, but neither of us could wait for our gifts... this is what we treated the other to for this year's gifts.

Scott now has his much coveted mountain bike, however his is of the craigslist variety... as shown in the picture here, just not as sparkly and new (and not as much $$$).


I am now the proud mom of a new little iPhone... isn't she darling.  Weighing in at a hefty 4.7 oz and 4.5" tall... this new little bundle of joy has finally arrived and completes our family.  But on a serious note, having only had this now for 48 hours I simply don't know how I ever managed without it... I already feel so much more on the ball and organized.  Who knew this is all it would take.

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Another before and after... this one is not so dramatic...

Before: 4 bandanas (2 zebra print & 2 pink polka dot) After: 1 very ADORABLE bandana dress and 1 super STYLISH bandana shirt Now I know this is not a new concept here, but I am really quite proud of my little sewing creation. So proud that I'm sure the girls are going to be screaming and chanting 'put down the bandana and just walk away'. These were oh so (and sew) easy!!! I'm seeing one in every color and pattern for the girls... oh the possibilities!!

Now I know why...

Today, for the first time, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I get it. I am now in the club. I now know why most moms only want a family photo as their gift for Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day or any other gift-giving holiday. Why do I know this... because today was OUR family picture day and it was everything I wanted and more. I don't care if no one looked at the camera, I don't care if we all had something stuck in our teeth... it was a picture of me and my most favorite people on earth and that right there is worth more to me than ANYTHING that could ever be purchased. So, in honor of picture day I just couldn't help but grab my own camera as soon as we got home to get a few shots of my own since we were all lookin' uber cute. Completely random pics, most out of focus (I really am working to train Scott and Sam), but just a little sneak peek of us...
