My Big Girl!


That's right, my baby is now a toddler. I don't know whether to laugh or cry, so I do a little of both. Kya is smart, funny and beautiful, and I am one proud mommy!

This was the picture on our Christmas cards this year and I absolutely love it!

We had Kya's first birthday party at the Science Spectrum, and it was so cool. They recently remodeled their kids under 5 area and it is fantastic.

She loved the market and the little roller-coaster...

Happy Birthday to me, YAY!

So I was worried that she would get cake all over her dress. As it turned out, she got the cake all over me.

Lissa & Gil: Married

One more post before the year is over!

Meet Lissa and Gil. This gorgeous couple got married a few weeks ago in Petersburg, a little-bitty town about 40 minutes from Lubbock. The ceremony was intimate and lovely and, being catholic, quite long :) I love all the rituals and traditions of a catholic wedding!

As always we'll start with the dress.

Dress + Porch = Yummy Picture...
