PROM!

Tonight was the local boy school's junior prom night and Morgan went with her friend, Steven. What a cute little couple! Of course, the mamarazzi had to document the night and the dress and tear up looking at how beautiful and mature her baby girl is getting!

Trading of the corsages...

(oops... mom in the mirror)

OK, all together now... awwwww.......

Wow, is all I can say!

And off they go...

See ya, mom!

All these years of preparation and it is never easy to see your baby drive off without you... but I am so proud of my beautiful girl! She had a wonderful time!

Favorite Foto Friday #87 - ME!

One thing I did not realize when I selected this theme, as well as maybe one or two others in recent months, is that it coincided with the

It has been purely coincidental but fun to see our FFF themes mirror their contests! Someday, I would like to enter as one of the amateur contestants... but definitely NOT this week.

Tonight, I went outside to try and take a self photo of myself... it did not go so good, so I grabbed a cute little girl to be in it with me and voila... here we are being silly! I had to turn it to black and white because my pale complexion was so washed out next to her beautiful little face!

Here is Mr. Linky! You can find directions on how FFF works here.



This week in KY has been the official kickoff for the Ky Derby festivities! The weather is finally turning warmer and the grass is green and growing as fast as the horses run! I hope to enjoy the festivities as much as I can! So... the theme for next week will be RUN! Now run with it (I am so punny like that) and can't wait to see your winning shots!

Lastly... please keep baby Stellan in your thoughts and prayers...

A night on the porch with Bug

Just had to post some random cuteness pictures of Miss Sophie~Bug from our night out on the front porch! I just adore my Thursdays off with my girl and today was the start of our spring weather warm up! She was so excited to be my helper today while running errands, and despite a "no nap" meltdown after dinner tonight, today was a wonderful day with my little princess.



She has been such a trooper with her cast and gets way too much attention with her neon green appendage when we are out and about. I can't tell you how many comments and questions we got at T*rget.





She looks pained in this picture but wanted me to take a picture of the "S" that her teacher, Ms. Emily monogrammed onto her cast yesterday!


I have so many cute Sophie-isms that I want to remember, but when I sit down at the computer lately, I just can't seem to remember them. She can say the funniest things some days and it makes me realize just how quickly my girl is growing! Within the next 10 days, she will turn four years old... I cannot remember what our lives were like before she was in it!

Wordless Wednesday!

OK... not so wordless as I have to explain... she fell out of bed last Thursday night (wriggled down past the bedrail and fell 3+ feet) and told me all weekend that her arm hurt but she was able to move it just fine and pick up light objects. She just could not use it to support her own weight when sitting or climbing. Her Dora bandaid seemed to help for most of the "pain" (she obviously has a high tolerance). Finally took her into the orthopedic on Monday and she has a Distal Radial fracture... don't worry... the mommy guilt is WAY set in!!

So, we get to enjoy this pretty lime green cast for 3 weeks! She will have it on for her 4th birthday! Poor little delicate Bug! But look at that winning smile! She is such a trooper and dedicated Dora Dance Mat dancer!

Favorite Foto Friday #86 - WET!

WOW! Where did the week go? Is it already Friday? I bet you are expecting WET pictures from the beach, huh? Well... surprise, a little flashback to Sophie's first trip to the beach in 2006. Look at that little watermelon bikini! Doesn't she look edible!?!

OK... and a cute one from this trip too just because she is still too cute in her itsy bitsy bikini!!!

Here is Mr. Linky!



Next week's theme is ME! Turn the camera on yourself and let's meet everybody! Aha... a challenge... let's see what you can come up with!!

And because many of you have been kind enough to ask about Grant since he has been obviously absent from my pictures in a while... he is doing well. He is currently away at school and we miss him ALOT in our every day lives. We talk to him often and have told him that he is missed around here too! Thank you for thinking of him!

Thanks Easter Bunny! Bok! Bok!

He came, he came!! Sophie drew a picture for the Easter Bunny! I love that she even put bunny ears on him! She did say he looks sad...

Sisters enjoying their morning (yes... pulled Morgan out of bed early)

She wore her Bunny Ears all day

After brunch with Nana and Jeff

And my little honey bunny playing with her new stamps set!

Thanks Easter Bunny!!

Happy Easter!!!
