True love

My good friend Heather was in town saturday with her cute little family. She and her husband moved to Texas due to the military and that was right before Preston was born so we were able to get together saturday morning for a park playdate before Ariel’s friends came over.

She has two BEAUTIFUL little girls and they both seemed to have their eyes on Preston!  hehe!

Ladies man already???  Little Taylor kept trying to steal kisses from him!  Look at her leaning in!  :)

Peek-a-Boo!

Little Maddie was content playing by herself most of the time. 

 

This little cutie was ALL about me taking some pictures of her!  Is she not sooo adorable?!

My favorite of the day!!!!  This child is so photogenic and  I was so happy to be able to get some pictures of her kids to give her!

Love this girl and so glad we were able to meet up even if for just a few hours! Hurry up and move back close to home!

 

 

Also, welcome home Mark…he’s been deployed to Iraq several times and is finally home for good!  Atleast we think! Glad to see that he came home safely!!!

Love you guys!

A fashion show???

Ariel turns 11 next saturday and she decided that she wanted a sleep over instead of party. Worked for me! She invited a little girl from school and then my neice Morgan.

I took her shopping at my her favorite place…Target and then we headed Downtown for some cupcakes. Target went great but the cupcake part…not so much. Apparently there was some festival going on that I wasn’t aware of and all the streets were blocked off. I refused to pay for parking so I gave her another option…Publix. Their Bakery is pretty legit so after explaining this to her she decided that was fine. She was pretty glad we decided to go there b/c the cupcakes were twice the size of the other place, just as good and not near as expensive! Thanks Publix!

Once we got home, she decided to open gifts. They all piled up on my bed…reminded me of when I was a kid!

 

 

Anyone notice a theme with the gifts?  Nothing but Edward love over here apparently! I love this picture…takes me back to when I was this age!

After this, I noticed their eyes roaming to my makeup stash…The three of them decided that they should do a “Fashion show…” and what’s a fashion show without makeup right?!

It took all I had to not die from laughter after all the “ooooh’s and aaaahhhh’s and WOW that really makes your eyes pop!”

Morgan, my neice even had to march down the hallway  runway to Glee: Power of Madonna!

Enjoy, they made me laugh numerous of times! 

 

 

My neice Morgan, in blue, had more sass than the other two combined!  Not sure where she gets it but she cracks me up!

Talk about getting a glimpse of them as teens…scares me to death!  They are all too gorgeous!!!!

After the fashion show, they had the bright idea to do MY makeup…lets just say, that was an experience all it’s own! I “forgot” to take a pic!  ;)

I was taken back this weekend to my childhood and what it felt like to be 10 again and loved it! Too bad I had to work the next day!

Happy Early Birthday sweetie!  I love you oh so much!!!!

Who’s turning two?

Today marks the one month count down to Preston’s 2nd birthday! WHAT?!  When did this happen????  When did my little man become a "terrible two toddler????"

I didn’t have pictures taken of him last year in his #1 shirt and regretted it so this time I had my good friend Alicia take his picture ahead of time in his birthday shirt for me to have and of course use for his invitation!  She got some really awesome shots. I’m saving some for his birthday post though!


I can not tell you or anyone else how much I adore this little guy!  There just are no words!  I wake up every day for him! 
I’m so excited for his birthday party and praying he isn’t sick this year like he was last year! 
Let the count down begin!!!
I love you my sweet boy!

Christy Peake Photography

If you read my blog then you know how I feel about pictures…especially ones of my family!  I cherish them to the fullest and never get tired of new ones!  Well I always have pictures taken this time of year for Preston’s upcoming birthday and figured why not make it a family affair!

I knew right away who I wanted to take our pictures this time! Christy Peake !  I hope you will all see why I picked her!  I know I do!

   

 

    

Sorry for the picture overload….there were just too many that I wanted to share!

 

Thanks again to Christy for such an amazing job!  I couldn’t be happier!
