stella’s preschool took a field trip to the fire station and it was so fun!
one of the moms in the preschool is a fire fighter, so we all got a personal tour at the fire station where she works.
the kids (and the parents) had such a great time learning all about fire safety and how everything works at the fire station.
each kid even got a chance to use the hose. so fun!
thanks to everyone at fire station #1. we really appreciate you taking the time to show us around and for keeping us safe!
it finally happened.
one of my kids cut their own hair.
and it wasn’t pretty.
not one bit.
sweet mullet…we just can’t have that.
what you can’t see here is that she cut up underneath the longer layers behind her ears. perfect.
off to supercuts we went and i said a little prayer on the way that we would get someone that knew just what to do.
i think things worked out just fine and my little stella (a.k.a posh spice) has a new bounce to her step.
p.s. sorry for the crudy photos…they are from my phone.
my great-niece or is it grand-niece (wow, that makes me sound old – can i just say my niece’s daughter? ok, thanks. that’s better.) turned 3 and had a very pink princess party.
pink pink pink. even pink cupcakes with pink frosting.
happy birthday sweet girl! 
i think this will be her new name. in just 3 short weeks of owning this adorable little pup, she has become the most expensive thing in our house lately.
cone of shame.
she got super excited one evening and tried to jump on the back of the couch, but missed. landed hard on the wood floor. then decided she didn’t need to use that leg anymore and that 3 would be just fine.
called the vet, they said: “bring her in and we’ll charge you $480 to tell you that it’s just a sprain and we’ll wrap her up and send her home.” ok, maybe they didn’t say that _exactly_. but close.
sigh.
this is one very cute and very expensive pup.
introducing our new puppy: maggie! we call her maggie-love because she has a perfect little spot on her tail that looks like a heart. she’s sweet and we love her.
she wanted to go to leatherby’s for ice cream. all 4 of us shared this monstrosity.
i love this age. she’s a total ham.
my sweet baby girl is 7.
i love this kid. all 7 years. happy birthday sweet anya!
i had the pleasure of taking photos of my good friend courtney and her family.
they made it so easy for me.
it’s no secret that i bring bribery when i take pictures of kids…it always works. suckers and ring pops rewarded to the kids that make my job easy (and to make sure the parents are happy too, of course.)
these two really didn’t want to take a picture together. i threatened eating the aforementioned ring pop and was able to get this…
what cracks me up is that this is totally their personalities.
thank you again! i hope you had as much fun as i did!
one kid in 1st grade and the other in her second year of preschool. where does the time go. i feel like a broken record, but really…i mean look at them.
super fun times ahead. i can’t wait to see what this year brings my two amazing girls!
happy 4th everyone! found these loverly berries here. they were a huge hit!
