These little sun princesses were too much fun! We had a great time soaking up the warm morning rays and dipping our little toes in the water!

I've been so blessed this Spring/early Summer with a busy business that I got behind on capturing those milestones with my own children!! So, these are a month late - but better late, then never, right? My sweet, goofy and somewhat crazy Georgia Ann turned THREE in early May. I no longer have any babies in the house. Bittersweet, if you ask me. No more diapers, no more bottles, and pretty soon no more rocking and sweet, sweet cuddles. (Don't tell Chad - but Georgia Ann will still let me rock her before bedtime every now and then. I'll probably become that creepy/crazy mom from "Love you forever" book). It's funny - with the first kid, you kinda rush them through all the milestones, like it is a race - calling all your friends to brag when she walks early or learns to get dressed all by herself. But, with the second, it's almost like I'm begging time to stop, or at the very least slow down. That feeling of proudness I once felt when Sara turned from 'baby' to 'big girl' has now has a dash (or a huge helping) of sadness mixed in when Georgia yells at me, "No mama, I do it by myself."

Baby girl, just remember, you'll never be too old for mama to 'rock baby' or let you 'hold me' when you've had a rough day (what she says when she wants to be picked up). No matter how big you get, you'll always be my baby, Georgia Ann.

Woo-hoo!! Summer is HERE!! If you've followed the blog for a while, you know that this is my absolute favorite season. I love the lounging around in the hot sun, jumping into a cool, refreshing pool, eating more than my fill of snow-cones and popsicles (though this year, I'm going to try my hand at a few of these 'adult only' poptails!!), and just being with family. My girls are pretty stoked about it as well...

Wow! These past few weeks have been nothing but boys! And, I have to say, being a mother of two very girly girls, I feel somewhat out of my element hanging out with boys. But, it has been a ton of fun! And, these two were no exception. They were a good mixture of sweet, silly and energetic! We staged the session at their grandparents' dock and boats. It was neat to step out of my comfort-zone and try something a little different. I think we pulled it off! :)

Dinosaurs were on the brain at this session. Back home, my husband was wrapping up the small details for my daughter's third birthday party - all themed dinosaurs. And, I was hanging out with this adorable family. Lucky for me, the two boys LOVED dinosaurs and were very happy chat with me about them :) They also volunteered to teach me how to 'talk dinosaur' - RAWR! It was a great way to kick off my weekend!

Cute, cute, cute!! It was so much fun watching the oldest boy love on his baby cousins and watch over his younger brother. You could just feel the love he had for all of them!

The girls' room is themed bluebonnets. The walls are a pale blue accented by pink and white frames. Every year, I update those frames with pictures of them dancing in fields of Texas bluebonnets. They love the tradition and they LOVE having big pictures of themselves up in their rooms. Anyway, it is ALWAYS a struggle getting one good one of the two of them together. I think this year was a SUCCESS! What do you think?

I couldn't post Georgia Ann without showing a few of Sara. Always wanting to be a little different, she wanted to sit in the field of yellow flowers as well. Anyone know what these are called? 

Here she is! My little wild child prancing around in the Texas wildflowers. I love this time of year. Spring brings big promises of a sunny summer that is waiting just around the corner. I can't wait - and neither can my little Miss Georgia Ann!

After a week of cloudy, gloomy weather - I was overjoyed to find some real, live sunshine at this session! And this family worked it!! :) Could they be any more adorable!?!
