the baby-man

I took some pictures of Corban in the bath the other night. LOVE how his hair has curls when it's wet! It is fairly wavy when dry, but nothing like this! Some days I just want to squish him and kiss him all. day. long!

you said I'm cute??

oh, you think I'm cute, do you?

YEAH!! I'm cute.

Monday we finished a gallon of milk [happens frequently in this house. haha] and the jug did not get trashed right away... and Corban found it!! He is SO funny... and he LOVES his milk!!

this is SO good!

oh mom!! you didn't get EVERY. LAST. DROP. out!!!

And here is my Mikalah.... making a "funny face." I'm not sure why the girls think putting your fingers in your mouth and scrunching your eyes makes a funny face. LOL

STAY-TUNED: coming October 1!!! we will be moving to our own ".com" address!! yeah :) I'm pretty excited about that. It will be a work in progress for a little while. It is going to be my "guinea pig" site while I learn some new things about web-site design! But it will have a link back here... I'm not getting rid of all these memories!

at the park... for a friend's birthday

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the birthday girl... isn't she cute?

We had fun helping a friend celebrate her birthday. It rained a little here and there, but over all was a very nice day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

another flower girl

So, I did not get as many pictures of Anya being a flower girl as I did of Kyria; but she was BEAUTIFUL and did a FABULOUS job!! When the bride gets the photos, I will have to ask her for some of Anya actually in the wedding.

with the bride {who was also gorgeous!}

Mikalah in the foyer... we were there for hours. lol

Kyria brought a book...

 {and she also saw the lady whose wedding she was in... 3 years ago!!}

the "winking baby" {{LOVE}}

my men

my "little" family

more {{LOVE}}

Anya chattin' with the ring bearer... doesn't he look thrilled?

all smiles when it was all over!

Kyria's dress details

{at the bottom of the post}

thanks for stopping by!

stripes

It's been quite a while since I've published so many posts in one week!!! Here are some shots of one last t-shirt dress for each girl... MATCHING! :)

Kyria {8}

Anya {5}

Mikalah {3}

love the "stair step" look

a little extra detail on Kyria's

more detail on Kyria's... she is getting so grown up!

The t-shirts are just white from walmart, though the two smaller ones had the "ruffle" at the top already. The red/white stripe was a ladies' L skirt from the thrift store! There was not much left over, but I only had to hem Mikalah's dress {SCORE!}  I love the detail I did on Kyria's dress. There was not enough of the white to do the same on the other two, but if I come across some more white knit [which I know I have some somewhere. lol] I may add some ruffles to the other two skirts. For now, the two bows on Mikalah's are more for the girls to readily know whose is whose at a glance. {smiles}

randomness

Just sharing our week...

On Monday we went to a science center in downtown with some friends. It was great fun! They were so sweet to invite us along. The kids are similar ages and have fun playing together. Corban stayed home with daddy as it was his day off.... boy bonding time. {smiles}

ENJOY!
