When I think of WHITE, I think of wedding dresses. Then I think of the time that Lily was playing with her dress-ups when she was 4 years old.

*Special Bonus* As I was searching for Lily's dress-up photo, I came across this pictures of us together when I was 5 months pregnant with the boys. You're welcome.

Well, my baby is 3. She does not appreciate it when I call her "baby"!
Last Saturday, I borrowed a chair from our neighbors front porch and took some pictures of the Little Miss. It was the same story: I didn't feel like the shoot was going well and finished, feeling discouraged. My strategy is to hit the shutter EVERY time her face turns in my direction. Fast forward to editing the pictures. I took 61 pics and there were only 10 that were too blurry to edit. I LOVED all of them. You might want to sit down. Giving you a play by play of 51 pictures could take a while.

Just kidding! I don't have time for that kind of post. LOL  And it is very possible, that I am the only one who doesn't think all of the pics look the same.

I may need an intervention. I am a photo hoarder!

Daisy's party was on Sunday. We let her start by opening her presents. (many helping hands)

She was appropriately pleased with the felt cupcakes I made.

The most exciting gift:

I saw these wings online, with a tutorial, and asked my Mom if she thought Daisy needed them. About a week later, they were in the mail on their way to our house. Love ya  Mom!!!!!!!!!!!!

After presents, we moved on to cupcakes and singing.

Daisy made us light candles and sing Happy Birthday to her TWICE.

She had 3 cupcakes before dinner!

She left only a few crumbs, on her face!

I think she had fun.

We thoroughly enjoyed celebrating her!

It has been 3.5 weeks since the Cuties started school. Here are the shots from their 1st day as one sixth grader and two 3rd graders.

Supplies, checklists, backpacks, forms-filled-out and signed.

First Day of School Outfits

Normally, I can't even bribe this girl to let me take her picture. But after seeing everyone else get their pictures taken, she asked if I would take her picture and she set up the pose.


OH! And someone turns 3.YEARS.OLD. today! More on that later.

Well, I am cheating today and using the pictures that I had for the "Shades" week when my computer was having a temper tantrum.

 

 

As you can see, I had an entire crew of willing participants!

Last Week................

..............My Guys turned 8 years old! Unbelievable!
We celebrated with a trip to the movies. Just the guys and their parents.

And then lunch...............

......with embarrassing birthday songs, sung by the entire restaurant!

Bailey has decided that he doesn't like cake. So DaddyO made him a brownie/cookie cake.

DaddyO also made Ashton his very own, two-layer, extra chocolate, chocolate cake.

I LOVE these guys!
