Letters to my daughter....

My Darling Anabelle,

There is only one time in your life when you can be as free as you are now. No responsibilities, just princess dresses, silly faces, slides, playing in the dirt, and the list could go on forever.

As an adult I see the little things that I once enjoyed as a child and I could not be more happy seeing you just be a kid, a silly, goofy, and adorable kid!

You tell the best jokes and love to make us laugh..although whatever you are doing, you always make us smile.

When you are older and reading this, I hope that you think back with happy thoughts about how careless you were able to be and how fun and silly you were!

So, keep on loving Blue (blanket), wearing those princess dresses, wearing Cinderella high-heals to dinner, making silly faces, and telling jokes. You are an amazing little girl and I cherish every moment together!

Love you baby girl,

Mommy

Zen Horses.. and mini donkey

We got home from our trip to Chicago and we had such a great time! We celebrated Belles bday there, celebrated great friends getting married, enjoyed some relax time, and spent time with my Mom and Step-Dad. More pics to come of that soon...

But, I had the best time just hanging outside in the beautiful snow with some amazing horses and one cute little mini donkey! It was like meditation taking and editing these photos!

Ahhhh....

"Mommy, I will work for you...."

If only she really could. ;) Maybe if she could do work for me, I would be able to update this old blog more often...

Big Girl!

This girl is growing up way too fast. I posted these photos on my business blog but I feel the need to share them here too! 

She is talking so much right now and has very clear opinions about her likes and dislikes. Life has become much easier since she can verbalize things a little better these days. 

She LOVES Minnie Mouse and has an obsession with polka dots because Minnie wears polka dots, she likes painting her nails, still likes Chuggingtons but likes the girls much better than the boys, and loves to sing songs.

We paint her nails about once a week right now and she is so excited for nails day and is such a good girl while I paint them. 

She is in actual preschool class now and it has helped her verbal skills so much. 

That's all for now! Halloween pics coming soon!

Xena

So, the past few years Xena has been battling with skin cancer and arthritis. She gets blisters and sores on her skin and when there is a really large one, we have to remove it. At the last removal, the vet told us that she likely didn't have longer than 6 months to live. She obviously has outlived the amount of time that they suggested she would. So, when she got sick and stopped eating last week, we just assumed that it was ready for her. She could hardly get up, walk, and was not eating. 

During this time, I took her to the park and let her just have a great time. She smelled around everywhere, took a long break and then would get up and smell some more. It made me happy to take her out and let her do something that she loves.

On Thursday, I can home and it was discovered that Xena ate a giant stuffed toy that must have just had her feeling awful and zapped her energy. So, while Xena is feeling much better, we still are aware that it is just a matter of time and we are making sure to cherish every moment with her!!

Sick girl... not really?

Last week and the beginning of this week Anabelle was sick with a fever and a minor cold. She (thankfully) was in really good spirits and she must have been happy that she was able to spend some good quality time with Mommy and Daddy just hanging out at home. I swear if kids could fake fevers, she was doing it.

She spent 2 days with Daddy, the weekend with us and then 1 day with me. On my day, I had to take some pictures. What else is a mom photographer to do?

Baby girl is feeling better now! :)

Kiss a toad?!?

At a shoot the other day, I discovered a ton of baby toads. The first thing I thought of was how much Anabelle would enjoy them. So yesterday, I took her to check them out. She LOVED it! We would catch some, let them go, catch more... we repeated this cycle maybe 4 times. :) 

I even let her throw dirt! She was a lucky kid yesterday! ;)
