As I was looking through iPhoto today, I noticed that we have a number of pictures of our little family at the park!!  When Little was born we had a park literally 2 steps away from our tiny apartment and we took him there often.  After we moved it got a harder to take trips out to a park, which is when we decided to sign Little up for Gymboree.We didn't take photos every time we went to the park, but I wanted to share a few shots of Little from when we did remember to bring the camera along.   The weather is getting more and more pleasant these days so I foresee many more park trips, hopefully I will be catching some more huge smiles from a happy Little swinging in the park in the near future.

Party Progress

Hello all!
So my laptop is acting pretty wonky because I have yet to put all of my old work onto our hard drive. I know I know its soo bad of me!! To bring me to my point, I used iPhoto to tweak the photos a bit so the colors are a little off today (especially in the invite photo).  I usually only need to brighten them because I often take pictures with horrible lighting!

I just wanted to give a little peek of the invite I created for Little's second birthday.  I wanted the invite to match the party, simple and sweet.  I really only handed out invites to grandparents and the rest of the  family was pretty much word of mouth, like I said its a very small party.  The big number two is a DIY I'm working on for the party table or the door (haven't decided).  I just wanted to show a little progress  and a couple of cute pictures of my Little.

LOOK at that curl, I want to throw a party just for that one curl alone!! When you have a kid who's hair grows slower than grass you get excited for these things! I just want to cut it off and keep it in my purse!!! But I won't, Ill leave it be. Promise.

On a very special note: Today is my parents 15th wedding anniversary!! Math off a bit? Well 15 years ago Papaw and Gramma (who was just called Mama then) got married and we got the best Dad we could ever ask for!! Thank you to both Papaw and Gramma for giving us an amazing childhood.  At this very moment they are off on a road trip to celebrate like the youngins they are!!

8 more days till the birthday party... scramble mode ON!

Eggs and Bacon Baby

Last Saturday we got the excellent privilege of babysitting a certain little girl!  Tia Linda asked us to watch over Squish so she and Squishes dada could head out for grown up time! We were delighted to take care of this cutie, after all babysitting Squish is usually left to one of her Grandmothers only!  So after dinner Tia brought over a freshly bathed, awesome smelling, super happy Squishy!! After a few tears, Squish LOVES her dada, she settled down for some popcorn and Monster House.  We then spent the night reading books, playing with toys and watching movies.  Unfortunately, we spent some of that time pulling either toys, books, or each other away from the 2 toddlers. Dada and Little were both really happy to have Squishy over, since Dada is usually working when we are getting our Squish time and rarely gets to see her.  Dada just so happens to love this sassy baby, everybody does! She's got this huge personality in this tiny little body, and she can dance like no other!!  I can't wait till we are asked to babysit again!!

A few things to note:
Her hair is crazy because her parents are trying their hardest to postpone her first haircut. (Im sure we won't be having that worry for a long time though, Little's hair is growing at a glacial pace!) Although I usually wrestle with Squish to get a pony tail on those dark locks, I decided to let her be since it was bedtime.
Yes that is an eggs and bacon tee shirt she is wearing.
She has the daintiest feet ever!!!!!!
