Tomorrow is Mikayla's first day of Pre-Kindgergarten. I can't believe it, so we went to the park for a few pictures (ummm well not really a few... she has her own personal poparattizi) to commemorate the event. I'm so proud of my little girl, look at her in her uniform!!!!

A thoughtful moment.....

Trying to poke an ant......with a stick LOL......

Some Serious Scrappyness!

I have had a blast doing some scrappy pages over the past weekend. All but the very last one were done this weekend and that one I just wanted to show. These are all 12x12 layouts.

You might think I'm scrappy satisfied.... nahhhhhhh I want more!! I even woke up early this morning and got going because I thought I was late and it turned out I was 30 minutes ahead of schedule... so I went up to my room... and played with some paper! LOL - it's a sickness...what can I say ;)

aaaahhhhhhh what's better than this.....

What's better than.....

Smores - OUTSIDE (meaning it's not too hot)

Petting a horse - that might a little better.....

shooting hoops... that might be better

Eating cake.... that might be better

Swimming in my undies.... that might be better

holding babies... .that might be better

but.... nothing beats hanging out with Janet!!

Wedded Bliss

So much fun at a wedding!!!! Our cousins Sara (and now Mike) got married, we had sooooo much fun, such a special occasion that we celebrated with some very special people!!!! This was truly one of the best times we've had!!!

(sneak peak into the church prior to the ceremony)

At the reception.... she was sooooooooo happy!

My little girl is quite the dancer.... she really made the rounds!!!

She had sooooo much fun - here's a little chicken dance for you.


And when she out danced us..... she found her own people to dance with..... the pictures are blurry, but I couldn't resist showing you.

Or alone.....

Many congratulations Sara and Mike!

And the picture I'm sooooooo not ready for.... my little girl wearing a wedding veil!!

A little Santa action!!

Well he does exist.... we have proof that he lives somewhere and has a real house and everything!!! We were able to visit the North Pole and what a time we had! The first thing we did was visit with him. Mikayla gently asked for a sleeping bag.... specifically a princess sleeping bag and then she had to make sure that "he" knew where her house in Texas was.... and if he could find it. Then she came running to me and said that since he knew where her house was, she was definitely on the good girl list!!!

It was sooooo sweet she was sooooo excited!

She got to touch the actual North Pole.... it's always frozen!!!

A little bit of boogie to the music! (always dancing)

What an incredibly special day to share with her!

The Garden of the Gods

If ever you have a chance to go there, it is an amazing experience..... just right out of the earth are the most magestic rock formations you've ever seen, truly an amazing experience......

Some neighborly fun

Mikayla absolutely loves the kids next door. Here they are taking her for a ride on their "4-wheeler". They are perfectly aged for playing 5, almost 4, and 3 years old.


Here's the princess waving to her fans..... LOL


Oh and she told me that I was a princess. I was thinking OH WOW, I've been promoted from servent..... so I dutifully said "oh thank you this is a wonderful surprise". She said, "you're welcome you're a princess and I'm the queen........" humph... was it a promotion or not?
