{I ♥ Toms}

I opened up my door this morning, and this box containing these two boxes was sitting on my

front porch.  Yippy Hooray!!!

I LOVE LOVE my Toms!  I have a black glittery pair and they are my very favorite shoes ever.  :) 

I decided that Punk and Ky need a pair too.  Kylie has been begging me for some for a long time.

So, I got Ky the black ones and Lily P the pink ones.  They are SO adorable and little, I love it!

I love that Toms are so comfy and that when you buy a pair, they give a pair to a child who in in need of shoes.  It makes me feel like I am not being so naughty by getting some more.  :)

 

{My Kylie- Beautiful Inside & Out}

This is my lovely Kylie Joan.  She is absolutely beautiful inside and out.

She is so kind and caring.  She is aways for the underdog.  Always reaching out

to the child at school who needs a friend.

She takes care of her little brothers and sisters hurts and owies.

She is so loving and sweet to all animals and living things.

She is so patient and so forgiving.

She inspires me and encourages me everday to be a kind and loving person.

♥I love her more than words can say.♥

Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Col. 3:12

{Labor Day Fun}

It has been a lovely Labor Day!  Actually, I haven't felt very great this weekend, but today still turned out pretty good. 

This morning, I painted a chair pink.  I am SO excited to use it to do some darling photos of some sweet little girls!

The kids played in the pool for a while.  I am so excited for fall, but sad to see summer go away.

This is Lily Ps 'this water is freakin' cold' face.  :)  She doesn't care though.  Seriously, sometimes her lips are blue because the water is so cold and she doesn't mind one little bit.  Such a little fishie!

Adrian made shishkabobs for dinner and they were DELICIOUS!  I love anything with peppers and onions!

For dessert, I made the yummiest cupcakes EVER!  I wanted to eat them all!

{Preschoolers-Derek & Jett}

My two littlest boys are starting preschool on Tuesday.  Derek will be in 4 year old preschool and Jett will be in 3 year old preschool.

Time has flown by.  I swear I was just holding Jett in my arms as a precious newborn and my sweet Derek as a cuddly, hair holding & thumbsucking toddler.

I am so excited for them to start.  They need to have some time apart.  They are so close, but they fight SO much too. :)

Derek - 4.5 years

Jett-3 years

So happy I snapped these darling photos before their preschool open house last week.

I sure adore these two crazy boys!!!
