Birthday Wishes

On the eve of her birth I sing.......Happy birthday to you.... happy birthday to me...... Happy birthday to us...... Happy birthday dear Gabbi.... Happy birthday to you!So here I am again-  two weeks later- wishing my youngest daughter a happy 12th birthday!!!  It's super cool that my girls'  birthdays are so close together- and so ridiculous that they are so close together... what WERE we thinking???  It's cool because I'm in party planning mode for two birthdays and the Super Bowl all in the same week... to that end- I'm insane and totally exhausted!I know that everyone says that they can't believe that their kids are growing up so fast... but it's really the truth.  I see her underfoot everyday as we dash to school and sports, and scrap over chores and responsibilities... and then I look across the island and wonder who the beautiful woman in my kitchen is  who's cooking dinner!  Gabs is funny and creative- athletically gifted, kind and smart- with stunning looks years beyond real age.We're so proud to be her parents and are so grateful that we were chosen to be her parents!  

{ Here's a movie I made her a couple of years ago if you want to see some OLD photos...}

Happy Birthday Baby

Happy birthday to you.... happy birthday to me...... Happy birthday to us...... Happy birthday dear Oni.... Happy birthday to you.

Today marks 14 years since we welcomed this gorgeous creature into our lives.  Our miracle baby- the one we had worked so hard for and prayed so long for. She was finally here.  

Oni is my heart- {her sister Gabbi is my soul}....  so vital to my existence and for so many wonderful and different reasons.  I'm so blessed to chosen as a momma!

I wish for you today Oni ~ a day full laughter and learning, hope and strength for tomorrow and joy and contentment forever.

I love you my not so little {anymore} one!

xoxo Momma

Birthday girl...

A few more shots of adorable birthday girl Randi.... you girls are done and your print order is in.... YAY!  More reasons to celebrate!

Cake smash!

I was so excited to see sweet little Randi again- she's a big girl now-a whole year old and just as pretty as she can be!  We had all kinds of fun with mommy's healthy home-made cupcakes!  Those eyes just melt me....

Like mother ~ like daughter...

The saying, "The apple doesn't fall from the tree" should also be said for beauty as well... because this stunning woman in the pretty momma of this pretty baby... and those eyes and lashes- seriously??? OMGosh! Killin' me!  L.O.V.E. them!

Peyton recently turned 1- and in honor of her becoming a big girl/future fashionista....

We decided it was time to introduce her to the finer things in life...

Tea parties, feathers, pearls, and...chocolate.... you know- the essentials.

Can't wait to watch this one grow up!
