So…Maya graduated Pre-K over 3 weeks ago, but summer has been a bit of a blur! I finally had a break in work, so I’m hoping to catch up on all the fun pictures we’ve taken!
We took these when we got home from dinner.
I’ve had this top (ok, technically it was sold as a dress, but…that never happened!) for SO long, and I still love it! I think it’s such a fun alternative for those of us that might be past the point of a mini dress to pair it with a pair of skinny jeans!
I remember wearing it when I was pregnant with Maya!
GAh, I looooooove capturing us looking at eachother!
I keep saying “This is the last time…”
But….LOVE this next one!
And this is how she takes posed pictures now haha.
BUT….before all that fun, we walked to her school for the last time…
SNIFF SNIFF
And she graduated!!!
Even more SNIFF SNIFF!!!!
Maya, we could not be more proud of the funny, smart, witty, amazing little girl you are becoming!!! You brighten everyone’s day who has the pleasure of being around you, and we are SO lucky that you brighten ours daily!
We love you!!
On me…
The dismounts of the throws don’t always look as good haha. 
Love the back of this top!
Oh, and this skirt? I thrifted it for $3.50 at Value Village when they had their pre 4th of July sale on Sunday (retailed for $88!)! I wouldn’t normally pick a denim pencil skirt, but it caught my eye, and I’ve worn it twice since then-ha! 🙂
OMG, her face!!!
Loooooooove!
Charlie had been out walking Max and came up behind us to photo bomb.
Loooooove this one!
And…BOTH of our faces ha!
Oh, and I can say this is total artistic shot, BUT…no, it’s Maya putting her wand RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE LENS!
I can’t EVEN!!!!
Yes, this is her new thing. If I pick her up, she does this…
Not going to lie. I feel like I’m going to drop her!!
Could she be any happier?!
The microphone in the background….it will be back!
Oh, and she wanted to bring her microphone outside with us..
BUT…guess what. The following week she was in a singing camp, and 
The focusing stand. I wish she’d hug ME like that…
Nope. Hasn’t exited the licking phase yet! UGH!!!
Because….
So, I gave Maya the camera, and
Little windy haha.
OMG! Maya in this next one!!
She loves her Meme!!
I had to get a few of my parents!
BUT…of course, Maya wouldn’t let them have pictures of just them…
And some of the three of us!
LOVE!!!
I can’t even handle these next two…
Maya being Maya haha.
And then…I want to EAT HER UP!
Seriously…DYING!!!!
Oh, and when I tried to get shots of just me? Literally…attached to my ankle… 😉
So….I tried to make the best of it! HAHAHAHA!
This next shot is totally out of focus, but I wanted to get a picture of her FIRST MANICURE!!
Seriously!?? I wish the streets were lined with blooms like this ALL THE TIME!
This next photo is totally out of focus, but it is SO HER!!! She always comes running so enthusiastically for a hug!! It’s getting harder and harder to document as she gets older, but….LOVE!! 
LOVE!!!
I almost put this as an “outtake”, because…clearly she’s going in for a big BITE! But…I love it. It’s SO HER!
Love all these close ups that I got, but this next one…
She’s got a killer right hook haha!
These shoes are BEYOND comfortable!!! Pretty much any shoe from this company is like walking on a cloud-LOVE!
Her face…haha.
I tell her now that we can do whatever she wants. It keeps her happy, and that’s all I can ask for…haha.
Couldn’t leave the stuffies behind… 😉
The only way I could get her to let go of them, was to offer to swing her…
Love this next one! She normally jumps, but she just kept balancing on one foot and then pushing off into my arms. 🙂
And then the sun came out!
Clearly, I can’t resist a pop of red on either of us haha.
That pose…
When I’m smiling off to the side in images of just me…this is what’s really going on 🙂
Yup, another one of these. I might do an entire blog post on them haha.
She’s got some serious dance moves 😉
Gah. The way she is reaching for my hand…and the look on her face?!
I’m so obsessed with this dress!! And I scored it for $3 in perfect condition!
She was totally doing all these moves on top of this post. I was so impressed!! And…a little nervous.
haha 🙂
I bought silly string thinking it would be a fun shot having her spray it at me. She wasn’t strong enough to push it down and spray it haha. She finally got it, but it just drizzled out. Probably a good thing since we obviously picked it all up before leaving! She just stood there dribbling it into my bag, and though tit was hilarious!
“HI!!! Can I pet your dog?!!”
Right before we went outside, Maya took my clutch and said she wanted to put a few things inside for me! (little toys :)) 
LOVE my little snuggle bug.
Yoga move? 
This is seriously her new thing. It cracks me up! 
But…some things never change! 
I can’t even…
And…taking our picture between my legs? haha. 
Note to self- don’t eat the dandelion 🙂
