First Day of School - Paige is in 1st Grade

Today was Paige's first day back at school, seems like yesterday I was dropping her off in her Kindergarten class and now here we are already in 1st Grade.

Paige was really ready to go back to school so this morning was filled with so much excitement, lots of pictures, a few hugs and some throw-up from Harlow (Harlow has a cold, ear infection?).

Here are some pictures from this morning, I can't wait to hear about her first day back.

Paige had a few first day clothing choices but she quickly chose to wear the Sparkle TEE I made her which can be found here

Paige got this messenger bag at her birthday and decorated it all herself; she was so excited to use it today (although I do have a new backpack headed our way as well).

Paige & Harlow Model for Two Monkey's Designs

It was so exciting have my girls get to model for such a beautiful clothing brand like Two Monkey's Designs, it's a bonus that the fabulous designer Karen lives just a few minutes up the street from me.

The photographer Jael DeYoung took some amazing pictures at the photoshoot at Chestnut Square in downtown McKinney.

Big thank you to both Karen for letting my girls model for you and Jael for capturing some amazing pictures of my girls. Both the memories of the photoshoot and the pictures of it are priceless!

If your interested in purchasing any of these gorgeous outfits from Two Monkey's Designs new Woodbury Collection it can be found here in her Etsy store.

My favorire picture, can't wait to get this one in a frame.

Standing Pretty


Oh Harlow it seems like just yesterday I watched you swim into your daddy's arms and now here we are at 11 months with your first birthday only a couple of weeks away.

I took Paige and Aiden to a Summer Camp session today so I could catch up on some laundry and cleaning around the house but before all of that not so fun stuff I enjoyed some 1-on-1 time just hanging with Harlow.

Harlow just started standing a week ago but the past few days she has been perfecting her newfound skill by standing all the time. I know it won't be long before she starts walking along the furniture and then running around the house.

I took some pictures of Harlow today just before I woke her from her nap to get Paige and Aiden at Summer Camp and then some of her standing pretty at the couch.

I also never shared her 10 month pictures on Lulu (see below after today's pictures) and of course in a day or two will have her 11 month pictures to share with you all as well. Oh how quickly the first year goes.

Oh how sweet are you standing on those little feet

I guess since I woke up sleeping beauty early from her nap today when we had to get Paige and Aiden she was tired and fell asleep in her highchair just after finishing her cookies after I fed her dinner

Girl Scouts ROCK

Paige's Girl Scout Troop got together today for a rock themed craft and party. The girls each got to decorate their own guitar and then formed a super cool 'all girl' band and played rock-band together. I even dressed up Harlow so she would be rockin' the themed party.


I could totally see Paige in a band someday




Harlow had a great time dancing to the music

Paige did a great job on the drums


Harlow just wasn't in the mood to stay still for pictures today
