From Sea to Shining Sea

I love America. I don’t love what we are becoming, but I still love our country.
I thought it would be fun to try to see photos of all the different places my readers live. (Although I probably don’t have that many left!) Maybe we will be able to see from sea to shining sea.
Just post a picture on your blog or photo page and include the link below.
Here is Texas!

Happy 4th of July, everyone!

Bountiful Harvest

Our grapevines are over-producing this year….grape jelly, here we come. Hopefully. :O)

Fruits of her labor

Splish-splash

The first thing I hear every morning:
“Go outside…play in waaaater??”

The Hairbow

I’m in love with these giant hairbows. My life goal right now is to learn how to make them. It can’t possibly be that hard.

Happy Birthday, LFO

So…Susannah turns 2 on Sunday. The past year has been full of bumps, surprises, giggles, hair-pulling (mine), and wonder. It’s a truly awesome thing to watch little ones develop. And it’s a truly scary thing to see them develop into YOU. (Meaning ME)
Most days I’m ready to crash into bed the second she finally closes her pretty brown eyes for the night, but then I’m always ready to see them open again in the morning. Amazing thing, parental love.

So…a year in review?  She’s learned to walk, run, talk, scream, yell, dance, swim (okay, splash), cook (she gets the eggs ready to boil), help, defy (yikes), love out loud (especially bear), sing, march, wrestle, tickle, destroy (intentionally), color, go potty on the toilet,  count (to about 7), and assume the role of big sister.

Her favorite things:

• Anything “pretty” – Lotion is her favorite, but she also like makeup, nail polish, purses, hearts, flowers, JEWELRY, etc.
• Dancing is pretty much her life
• Singing is right up there with dancing
• Eating fruit and cheetos is right up there with breathing
• Seeing her Pa and grandma
• Playing with her daddy
• Madeline

We celebrated her birthday a week early because I had a pizza party planned already and decided to combine the two events. Cause who wants to clean two weeks in a row? Just kidding!

What could it be??!!

Ang, she ADORES her bracelets and purse. She sneaks them in to bed with her…

Audrey was too funny…she absolutely could NOT contain her excitement while Susannah opened her gifts.

And the cake-face picture. Still haven’t come close to beating Davy’s.

I signed up for a Dominos House Party and they sent us a $75 giftcard…we had lots of pizza! Yum!

Input

This is what I did with my mirror that broke.  Well..what I did with the frame, anyway.  So…does it need anything else?  Input, please.

Had to post this cause of the hat part.

Playing with her memory game.  She talks ALL day long.

*Sob*

My baby is too big for these already.

I’m getting rid of all my newborn stuff as she grows out of it.
