Have you seen a cuter family?
I just wanted to share my latest "practice" round. I jumped at the chance to shoot my friend's family because they are THE CUTEST EVER. It's not exactly easy to get an almost four-year-old and a set of twin infants to all look at you at the same time, but we did our best! Hope you like them Aimee!
XOXO!!!

Six Years + Six Years = Happiness
Yep, today is Marshal and my six year anniversary. I really can't believe it's only been that long! It actually feels so much longer, in a GOOD way. Maybe because we dated for oh, about six years before he finally got around to popping the question. I remember thinking he would never get around to it. When he proposed I was pretty much in shock!
So, once the wheel was put in motion, we survived the wedding, which was a blast, bought and sold a few houses, babied our babies (dogs & cats), built up our careers and eventually brought into the world our real baby, Quincy. It's been a very good life and with six years down, it's only just begun.
As a tribute to our memories, I decided to take photos of some of our ornaments that build the story of our life as a couple. And, if you're wondering how I got photos of all of them among the warm glow of Christmas lights, YES, I already put up our tree! Such a holiday faux pas I know, but you do things when you can and Friday was the only day I could carve out time in the foresee-able future!

Twinkle Toes
Little Miss Q was not excited at the thought of being left alone among a bunch of little princesses in pink tutus on the first day of dance class. It broke my heart to leave her there, but as soon as the teacher started the class, she had no choice but to join in. To her (and my) delight, she LOVED the class! It's pretty funny how us moms all "fight" over watching through the tiny window in the door.
This week was her second class and she was ready. She couldn't get her tap shoes on fast enough and the entire way she was asking where dance class was. She did great for the first part of the class, trying to keep up although she most often is either facing the wrong direction or repeatedly doing the last step they were on. Then, as I glanced through the window once again, I noticed her sitting off to the side with her thumb in her mouth. So sad looking.
Another little girl went over and hugged her. I could tell she was trying to console her. She finally tried pulling Q's arm to get her to stand up but Q didn't seem too enthused. Just then, it was Q's turn on the mat to jump like a frog and the teacher swept her up. She caught a glimpse of me through the window, which could have been ugly, but it actually helped. She began to try to show off for me.
After class I asked her why she was so sad in class and she said. "I was sad because I wanted my momma." Ahhhh, my heart melted. I have to admit I asked her about 5 more times throughout the day just to see if her answer changed. Nope, it was the same every time. So, of course I don't want her to be the little home sick girl at slumber parties, but it did make me feel super special! She'll always be my little girl! I managed to snap a few pics with my phone in between the few seconds the other moms bent down to tie a shoe!
I just have to share my latest home project below. I absolutely love how it turned out. I've been collecting plates from random places for the last few months and wasn't sure how I wanted to display them. I also knew I love the way mirrors can brighten up a room, so I decide to put them together and slap them up on the wall. It's amazing what a little hot glue can do!

A Little Weekend Randomness
As promised to Tessi, here is just a photo of the weird and wacky things that go on in our house!
As promised to Marshal, here is the "before" photo of his new money pit, oops, I mean, Jeep. I am officially back to being a GreaseMonkey Widow. If anyone is looking for Marshal from now on, please, call the garage directly!
Just some more fun with Tess.
Ahhh, a strange photo I know. I just LOVE the colors of the roses from our backyard. I had to share.
Lastly, some photobooth fun. I avoided the room during this photoshoot. I have enough problems being in front of the camera. More distortion than necessary is not a good thing, but the girls liked it!

Gilbert Days Parade
I dragged the whole family (including our niece Tessi) to the Gilbert Days parade this weekend and I am so glad I did. It was a great, overcast morning. The perfect day for a small town parade. It was so fun to watch Quincy's face as she waved to all the floats. It was definitely a good start to a really nice weekend. I just love family time (which is going to be decreasing since I've once again become a "Jeep Widow" - see next post)
