SOME SUGARY SWEETNESS!!

The past few days I have been busy taking some oh so sweet Valentine's pictures of my sweeties and some of my niece's and nephew's! The one above just can't be topped, (in my opinion) I am just in love with it and with those little ones lovin' on each other! I also want to say thank you to my closest entourage, you know who you are, with out all of yall helping pick up, drop off, make dinners, help when something changes at the drop of a hat, accompany us on fun outings and give support because when you have a child at a school for learning differences it can be draining EMOTIONALLY, physically and in other ways. SO THANK YOU, ALL OF OUR CLOSEST SUPPORTERS!! We do appreciate it!
These twins are a handful, but they are the cutest identical twin boys in this world. They are also the sweetest things with the biggest hearts.
They kiss one another ALL the time!
Today we were mega late, so late that Camen and Cash got dropped off first.....when Caden walked in everyone including the teacher thought it was Camen, it was an unplanned and funny trick.
When we walked out to the car Caden needed to talk about why they are the same and what is was like to be a twin, so we did. I don't think they fully know the power they hold just yet!
One this particular day they weren't very into pictures, they were pretending to be kings I think, I can't remember but pretend play is their favorite!
I never realize how big they are getting until I see them in pictures.
"We March to the beat of our own drum.....this is the story of My Dad's life and my life. You can't make these type of people, they just happen, and I must say they are amazing people. I know this cause my Dad is and so are my twins....and since my Dad and I are so much alike and my husband constantly reminds me of it, I must be too! Hehehe!
But we also have a whole different side that is very much like my Mom, unfailing love, girly, fun positive, great advice giver, cuddly and positive. Of course I could go on and on about all of the loved ones in my life that have impacted me but thats another post another day!

Hello gorgeous model baby!


Would you say ballet is paying off, I would!!!

Luke and Mayley!! The cousins that are the same age and have an absolute blast together!! This is my favorite picture of them, sooooo sweet!
Luke lost so many teeth so fast, it really made Camen jealous and want to hurry and lose some teeth too.

PAINT THE MOON-LET'S DO 52

WEEK ONE- "NATURAL" (no explanation needed)
WEEK 2- "RESPONSIBILITY" This picture represents responsibility because of the responsibility of giving her lesson horse carrots at the age of 2 is very important, also the responsibility of the instructor to not let Teague mistake her fingers for carrots and for always teaching safety as the number one rule when around horses to the youngest rider at the farm.
WEEK 3 "NEGATIVE SPACE" The picture above and the 2 pictures below fall into that category.

WEEK 4- "UNEXPECTED PERSPECTIVE" I submitted the first one.



I started participating in this photography challenge at the beginning of the year and it has already been so awesome and amazing! Each week Annie of Paint the Moon will post 2 themes, then you choose one (or both if you feel like it) and go out and capture that theme however you imagine it! There are thousands of people, new and seasoned photographers from all over the world doing it, if you love photography you can join anytime. So, from now on I will be posting my weekly picture from the theme and maybe a few more since it is my blog, haha! The only rule she has is that you cannot use an old photo, no matter how perfect it may be for that weeks topic/theme, the point is to get out there and take new pics and grow together! I hope you enjoy seeing what I capture and watching me grow. I have only had my camera since December and photoshop since a few weeks ago, so I am still new to this but I am having so much fun learning and am already getting some great opportunities come my way, so excited and grateful! Sometimes you have time to plan and go out and take the photo and sometimes you don't and just have to wing it, either way, it's been fun and that's what it's supposed to be!

EVERY LITTLE GIRL DREAMS...........

of having a pony, or at least a pony party at one point in their life! This was a surprise party for my sweet baby girl Cashlen, it turned out better than I had even imagined! We used www.houstonponyparties.com and they were beyond fabulous! When Cashlen walked out of the house this is what she saw......2 ponies, one was a unicorn with a cart and the other was a princess pony with a saddle. They had a cute sign, a table with helmets set up for the girls and a little gift just for her. When she walked out she said, "It's just what I've always wanted!"
Birthday girl getting a little gift, that was so sweet! She did not know anything, her top best friend and her sister came along with 2 of her cousins, she was so surprised to see her besties and the ponies.
Earlier that day I had taken her out to take some pictures and the rest of the day we hung out at home. She fell asleep right before the big surprise but woke up with little girls faces surrounding her and ready to go after only about 5 minutes.
She got a new riding helmet for her riding lessons for her b day from Daddy and I, doesn't she look fabulous!
Happy Girl!
Waving to neighbors as we walked down the street was fun, princess for the day!
When it wasn't your turn to ride you got to ride on the unicorn cart, a great way to always be involved.
Aubrey's turn! Thank you so much to Grandma Karen for going to get cousin Aubrey for Cashy's b day weekend all the way from Louisiana, they even got to have a spend the night after the party here, so much fun! They play great together because the only toys they both play with are horses!!! Aubrey also rides, but she does barrels etc.....Cash is learning to ride english, or as much as you can learn at just turning 3 english style, LOL!
This was precious!
Cashlen best friend Kendal's turn! Oh my gosh, these two are joined at the hip at school, Cash won't let anyone else sit by her, they are just too sweet. She also does riding lessons somewhere.
Pure JOY, so much so that she was the only one who wouldn't have a sweater on!
The beautiful unicorn! Shelley who runs the business and her girls are so sweet and awesome! I highly recommend their company to anyone in the Houston and surrounding areas.
Mayley's turn! Mayley is starting to have a love of horses too! Maybe she will have a pony party?!
Cashlen and the girls.
On the princess pony again.

A quick pic with Mommy, we just don't get enough of those!
And Daddy too!
Check out these 2 awesome pictures with the rainbow, such a cool accident!

In this picture she said, "Look Mommy, I am keeping my heels down," she hears her riding instructor say, back straight, heels down, chin up, etc and she remembered that......even though what she is doing in the picture is not what he means I loved that she thought of that! And you should see her when she holds her head high and her chin up, oh my gosh it's cute!!!

Girl talk.

Cousins!
Leading the horse.

After the ponies left it was time to burn some energy on the trampoline.
A quick hug and thank you before they left.
She opened a few gifts and the girls played for a bit before we wound it on down for the night. It was the most perfect little surprise party ever, really small and focused on just her and her very few friends. Thanks so much for those that came and made it so extra special for Cashlen, we do appreciate it!
