Sugar Crash

Katie had cupcakes with sprinkles last night and just completely passed out within a few minutes, in her high chair. LOL It was too funny. Here are some pictures of her asleep in her high chair.

The Moon Again and Ice Cream and Party Invitations

Like I said, I like the moon. So here's another picture of it. LOL

We also went out for Dairy Queen tonight. That's always fun, who doesn't like ice cream. Incidentally did you know Warren Buffet owns Dairy Queen? It's just an interesting fact I learned today. We watched him giving a lecture to some MBA students 10 years ago on You Tube today. It was very interesting. Mostly all about his theories on what companies are worth buying into. He's very entertaining to listen to.
In any case I took a couple of pictures of Katie enjoying her ice cream.

And then when we got home I worked on Katie's invitation for her birthday party in October. I think I am going to go with the Clifford theme because Katie LOVES Clifford. I thought I would show them off here too. LOL Oh, and the Clifford images came from the PBS Kids website and are available for personal use.

The Moon

I love the moon, and the stars. Tonight was an almost full moon. I think tomorrow must be the full moon, but I'll have to double check it. I love looking up at the sky. I can't do it so much now because you can't see anything. Well except the moon, and some planes, and the occasional star or two. Oh and maybe just maybe a planet. Too many city lights to see much of anything. I love that about cruises. You can go out on deck in the middle of the ocean and when the boat lights aren't on, you can see stars forever and beyond. When we went to Alaska I think that was the most amazing sky I'd ever seen. Anyways, really I'm just rambling. I thought I would take a couple of shots of the moon tonight. I've had my camera for almost 5 months and not one picture of the moon or the night sky have I attempted. So here are two. Without tripod. Maybe tomorrow night I try with a tripod and see what kind of shots I can get. :)

Pictures from a shoot

I had a photo shoot this morning for a mom and her sweet little boy and his cousins. It was actually a lot of fun for me. Although I know that the kids were so done with me by the end. LOL I thought I would just post a few of my faves here. Thanks Sally for the opportunity!

Do you tutu?

Today I got Katie to dress up in a tutu and a flower headband I bought her last year for Halloween. It didn't end up working out last year, but it looks so pretty on her, maybe I'll have to think about it for her this year. I am going to add more layers to the tutu and some embellishments. It'll be so pretty when it's done! I can't wait until she's old enough to want to do this stuff with me. LOL

A quickie layout

I decided if I was going to get Katie's scrapbook done by her 2nd birthday, I better get crackin'! So here's one from this past 4th of July. Kind of clean and simple. Katie had so much fun with Caleb bouncing on the mini trampoline. She was frightened of the fireworks last year, wasn't too crazy about them this year, but she warmed up to them by the time they were over. I think she was actually sad to see them stop when they eventually did.

climbing climbing climbing, lying lying lying

Katie's new thing is to climb everything everywhere. It's getting her into quite a lot of trouble. She's been climbing stuff for a long time. But now every two seconds she's asking if she can climb something. I can't wait for fall so we can go to the park again and she can get it out of her system. It's just too hot right now. The playground equipment is too hot. Oh which reminds me of a story I saw on the news about a playground spontaneously bursting into flames because of the heat. To see the video, check it out here.
Katie's has been pretty good at going to the potty when she needs to go when she's naked at home. But today she sat in the chair in the office and pee peed all over it. Aarrrrgghhhh!!! When I asked her why she didn't ask me to go potty, she said "I told you". Hah! I KNOW that she didn't, because she was sitting in my lap the whole time before that. Not even two yet and already lying to me? I don't even think she understands that's what she did though. LOL What am I going to do with her?! :)
Anyway, here's a little slide show of her climbing a rock the day of the rehearsal for Dave's wedding.

A Wedding

So Miguel was in one of his good friends wedding this weekend in Athens, GA. We both went to high school with the groom, David. We decided to take Katie with us, which ended up being a little crazy. But she provided plenty of entertainment for the everyone else. LOL I didn't get to sit through the ceremony, because I couldn't get Katie to understand the meaning of be quiet, but she just wanted talk. We tried playing the quiet game, that worked for all of 30 secs. She liked the harpist's music alot. Every time she stopped playing Katie would start clapping and say "Yay!!" at the top of her lungs. Which was pretty embarrassing, especially when she did it when Jill, the bride, arrived at the end of the isle and the music stopped. It gave everyone a giggle and of course they all turned around and stared at us. Oh well. The wedding was beautiful and Miguel got to see a lot of his friends from before we started dating. Who, incidentally are also people we both went to high school with. It was interesting to see everyone as full fledged adults. The last time I saw most of these people, they were anywhere from 15-19. I didn't recognize half of them. LOL Katie loved the dancing and the cake at the reception and if you asked anybody there, they would say she was the life of the party. What do I have myself in for? :) So here are some pictures. The first few are of the rehearsal and the chapel before the wedding.



These next ones are all of Katie and her day at the rehearsal and then the wedding.

There were several times during the night that she tried to get naked, this is one of those attempts.

One more scrapbook layout

Ok. Here's the last one I did last night. It's too much fun for me. It doesn't take all that long and there's no mess like regular scrapbooking. Plus it's like making website signatures, which I used to enjoy and make so many of, but better. Because they are all of my little baby. :) This one is one I did of our trip to the Atlanta Zoo about 3 weeks ago I think it was. I promise I'll start taking some more pictures soon!

Todays Scrapbook Page

I haven't wanted to do anything all day, so I decided before bed I would do a page with Katie's 1st craft. Here it is. Now I think I need to start working on the last two years worth of pictures!

Two other random pictures

I also took these two pictures today.
Katie LOVES Weetabix (a British cereal). Today she ate 4 bars of it. That's a lot for anyone. So I thought I would take a picture of her enjoying them.
Then I bought a Photo Pro magazine just to read and the cover has this picture of a model and I thought it made an interesting picture to take a picture of the model on the magazine cover. I just love the bright and contrasting colors in the picture.

Some pics and a craft

Yesterday I got Katie a piggy bank that she could paint and let her pick out the colors to use. This morning I let her at it. She loves to paint and the pig is her favorite animal it seems. She spent an hour painting it and painting it again and again. And then once she finished the piggy bank, she started on herself. LOL Here are pictures of that fun experience.
