Wedding Stories

 Okay, this has been the busiest summer ever.
Hands down.

But I think we're getting close to being able to catch our breath.
Whew!
 
So.  I think I mentioned before, my nephew recently got married!
And while that makes me feel old, it also makes me feel happy.
Because he and his new wife are the sweetest, most fun and loving couple I know.

I was asked to take pictures, and was completely happy to do it.
But before anyone asks, no, I will not be adding "wedding photographer" to my resume ;)
I'm just not cut out for it.
I think it takes a very special kind of person {and a very special kind of gear, lol!}.

Alrighty, I'm going to let the pictures do the talking, as usual.

♥ Happy 11th Birthday, Sierra Elizabeth ♥

 Happy Birthday, to my sweet, oldest baby girl ~ Sierra Elizabeth.

So.  I have a rough time whenever any of my babies turn a whole year older,
but I think it's harder with Sierra.  She's my first baby girl. 
My baby who made me a Mama. 
We have so so many memories together.

Miss Sierra Elizabeth . . .
You are eleven years old today.
Sigh.

You are turning into such a mature and lovely young lady.
Of course, part of being so mature at such a young age means that you
often have to deal with things that are beyond your years. 
It amazes me what you pick up on sometimes.
You are so perceptive, and a bit of a worrier {like your Mama}.

I truly can count on you for anything.
You are the most organized eleven year old I have ever encountered.
I always chuckle that you will run a mighty tight ship when you get older.
You expect a lot out of others.
And you can be pretty discouraged when they don't live up to your expectations.
I know someone else who has trouble with that {cough.ME.cough}.
But I think that's because you are so giving of your time, and you care so much . . .
you are disappointed when others don't return your same passion.

You are a GIRLY girl. 
You and I have very much the same taste in . . . everything.
We both choose classy over trendy.
You are very feminine.
But you also love to have fun.
In some ways you are far more adventurous than I ever was.
But you like to stick pretty close to home.
And I love that you love to spend time outdoors with your Daddy.
He loves it too :)

You love to dance, and you are so graceful.
I just love watching you onstage.

 You are growing into such a beautiful young lady.
Inside and out.
Love you bigger than the sky, sweet girl!
Happy Birthday!!!

New Puppies ♥


Oh these new little puppies are keeping us busy!

But they are so sweet.

And Mama Kate is perfect.

She's a hunting dog, and as such, not very laid back.
I'm going to be honest, I was a little nervous as to what kind of Mama she was going to be.
But she has been absolutely wonderful.
So attentive and protective.
