The Beauties of Spring


I love the spring. I especially love the beautiful blossoms on the trees in the spring, and it seems to me that they've been extra beautiful this year. For that reason, you can imagine how extremely happy I am that my friend Kellie, with Elements Photography, captured this special moment of my girls.
Go to her blog and check out more of her beautiful portraits. She's amazing at what she does...extremely talented.

Birthday Girl




We celebrated Kenzlie's birthday today, on March 15th. It seemed it was only fitting to do it on Grandma D's birthday since I know Grandma had her hand in sending Kenz to us.

I love these pictures of my sweet birthday girl. I really can't believe she did the "1." So perfect! More pictures of the party to come...

She'll Never Be 1 Again...

Today is Kenzlie's 1st birthday. Wow. It's hard for me to believe that our baby, our little Kenzie girl, is one. Where does the time go? It makes me happy as I sit and think of the memories of the past year, but it makes me sad to know that she's growing up so fast. Such is life I guess.


Kenz is learing to walk and has taken a record of eight steps now. The kids like to count them as she walks. She can say "hi" and holds the phone to her ear and says this. She also loves to chant "SC, SC, SC, SC." It's a little cheer that Kyler's baseball team does, and believe it or not, Kenzlie caught on to it after the Presiden't Day tourney and she just randomly says it all the time now. It's so funny. We always make such a big deal about it, so if she wants to get your attention she'll just start saying "SC, SC, SC..." So cute.


Does anyone remember the song by Alabama called Daddy's Little Girl? My parents had it on a tape when we were little and we used to love to listen to it. I thought of it today and wished that I could listen to it. I coudn't find it on iTunes, but I did find the lyrics. It's a sweet song and kinda sums up how I'm feeling tonight.
Love you Kenzlie. Goodnight baby girl.


Here's the birthday girl wearing the birthday present from Kamz that she and I made for her yesterday.  


Drift off and dream in your paper-doll world.
Play with the presents from the boys and the girls.
Your big day is over. The cake is all gone.
We sang you to sleep with the birthday song.

No. you'll never be one again.
The two's are tumbling on in.
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world.
You'll never be one again.

The toy piano is quiet in the hall as Kermie the frog sits watching it all.
And soon your legs will make the tricycle go and take you away from us all.

No. you'll never be one again.
The two's are tumbling on in.
Daddy's little girl is growing up in the world.
You'll never be one again.

Goodnight, Baby.
Goodnight, Daddy.

What concentration! Little Kenz is learning to walk.
