I Heart Faces weekly challenge: Let's Hear It For the Boys!

So I haven't had a chance to get a recent photo of my son and husband together but I absolutely love this picture I recently took of my son in the pool. He was telling me to stop taking his photo and I told him to give me one good smile and this is what I got lol. But I love it! Its a serious expression but the B&W just seem to add the emotion behind his aggravation at mom and her stinkin camera interrupting his fun lol.

So Kaitlyn's 8th birthday party theme has been officially picked: PINKALICIOUS!! I am so excited to be planning her party, even if it is two months away still LOL. I just LOVE party planning and all things PINK! There is going to be all shades of pink with frills and ruffles and lots of cupcakes!! I have been looking online and have come up with lots of ideas. I'm posting a few photos I have found around on random blogs for inspiration. What do you think?

An example of the dress I am going to get made for Kaitlyn, with a matching bow.

A photo prop I am going to make myself.

 

Cute little necklaces I am going to make for party gifts.

Aren't these awesome ideas?? I'm sooo excited! ***Thanks to HowDoesShe.com for these great images.

Happy birthday Dallas and Emma!!!

So we went to Lake Dallas to my nephew Dallas's 8th and my niece Emma's 5th birthday party. We had a great time and it was so nice to get to spend time with the family I don't have a chance to see that often. The kids had a blast playing all day and fell asleep as soon as we hit the car for the ride home. It was a good trip though and I can't wait to do it again at Christmas time.

Here's a random photo of a hot air balloon we saw today. This photo is SOOC and I thought the colors had amazing contrast and vibrance so I did absolutely nothing to it. Yay me!! Since the kids have now seen a hot air balloon and were in total awe with it, they are convinced they must take a ride in one. Too bad for them that momma is too scared!! Though the next time there is a hot air balloon show we will simply have to take them :)

Well haven't had time to post anything on here. Had a busy weekend, been editing wedding photos like crazy and trying to chase after a house full of kiddos. I did manage to still take some photos this weekend. Here's a few of my sister-in-law Laura. She is simply beautiful.

I also wanted to post that I now know what Kaitlyn's birthday party theme is going to be: Candy!! Its going to be bright and colorful with an awesome cake and a candy bar and I am making all the decor myself. It's going to be so cute! I am also making all the little girls a tutu each to take home so going to need the next two months to make them and plan everything. Super excited!!! Go check out the candy themed birthday cakes from www.pinkcakebox.com and choose the one you like best and leave a comment to let me know which one. They have the most amazing cakes!!!
