Birthday Smiles & Sparklers!

April 4, 2011 by Elaine

I posted this at the beginning of the week but realized that it works great for You Capture this week since we had LOTS of FUN!  It was a weekend full of smiles.  Someone I know, who may have been born seven years ago, had a great birthday and enjoyed his day to the fullest. …

Happy 7th to my 1st!

April 2, 2011 by Elaine

This little bundle made me a “Mommy” seven years ago today.  This is one of my favorite pictures of him ever taken (at age 2).  He no longer has those two front baby teeth.  Today he is a soccer playing, reading, writing, joke-telling, brother and sister-loving, sweet, sensitive boy.   His blue eyes are just like…

Steppin Out Saturday and Mommy & Me

March 28, 2011 by Elaine

This weekend was quite busy with two (three if you count dinner out for me) birthday parties.  I also planted flowers out front and Tim did all the laundry and started cleaning house in preparation for my parents coming this next weekend to help us celebrate The B Man’s 7th birthday (what?? You still clean…

It’s My Birthday!

March 26, 2011 by Elaine

I love it when my birthday falls on the weekend, don’t you?Today is a really good day. I woke up in my warm bed with one of my most favorite little boys next to me (the other “boys” were already up preparing a surprise for me…). Yes, there are days that I get a tad…

So, Um, I Kinda Lost 30 Pounds…

March 25, 2011 by Elaine

The other morning I stepped on the scale and glanced down at the number between my feet and a HUGE smile came across my face. I’ve done it, y’all. I’ve lost 30 pounds!! The number on the scale isn’t lying. All the running. All the “low-carbing”. All the Zumba classes. All the desserts resisted. It…

My BIRTHDAY is coming up, why don’t we celebrate with a give away?!

March 21, 2011 by Elaine

I love my birthday. I always have. I love that it’s at the beginning of my favorite season, spring. And well, I have to admit I love that it’s a day in which I KNOW there will be cake. Because the MAIN requirement even above gifts, for my birthday, is cake. Preferably chocolate. So yes,…

I took a lot of pictures last year…

January 2, 2011 by Elaine

I mean A. LOT!!! The number is definitely in the thousands but I’m not sure how many exactly. It’s hard to sift through that many photos and choose favorites but I did it anyway (narrowing it down by choosing ones that I already had in a folder for the ole blog here…) I also updated…

“Mommy Brain” – It’s TOTALLY Real

December 31, 2010 by Elaine

As the pictures in my last post show, we went to the zoo yesterday. In a city an hour away. We caravan-ed with some friends. We made it there and back safely. But I kinda wonder how. I did manage to pack snacks but forgot to fill the water bottle that stays in the car…

There Was a Party So It’s Official, She’s ONE.

October 4, 2010 by Elaine

It was a beautiful day for a party for a beautiful little girl. I think it really hit me that my “baby” was going to be ONE while I was making and watching (over and over and over) the video I made for her birthday post. And then it slapped me upside the head hard…
