🙈
The last few months have been…
😳😬
Joy. Laughter. TEARS (me). Learning. Growth. TEARS (me) Laughter.
SURVIVING!!! (BOTH OF US!) Maya has been a complete ROCK STAR! I’m SO proud of how she’s handled this time. She is 100% on board with WHY we need to be more protective, and if I’m honest…she’ s more vigilant that I am! Yet… Seeing so many friends on play dates every time we go out for walks…
😥😥
Me telling her she still needs to do learning when we get home. (Ok, not now that it’s summer, but I’m playing catch up!) I miiiiiiight still be the mom that says she still needs to read and play learning apps while I get shit done… SUMMER!
😬
It has been hard. I hate being the bad guy.
🙈
I’ve always been a bit of a mix. I’m strict with certain things, but FUN…I’m ALL IN-to my detriment at times!! Our lives were all about racing from thing to thing!! Honestly, it was a bit much…. Yet, now…all that has been taken off the table.
😩
I don’t know what the summer will hold.
🙈
BUT…I hope it includes some fun, laughter, and…maybe not bubbles!
The next shot is one of my new fav pics of us!!!!
Love, love, LOVE her.
On me…
This is the quickest, easiest hair do to do in a pinch. With the elaborate neckline of this dress, I didn’t really want to wear my hair down. However, I decided on this dress so last minute that I had to do a quick hair adjustment! I threw one of the flowers from the bouquet we brought, and called it good!
Seriously, one of my new favorite images I’ve taken of us!!!
Dying…
I LOVE the way it looks like she’s playing with the light in these next ones!
And then looking up at it??? All coincidence haha, but I love it!
I didn’t bring my real camera with me to the event, so the pics I took aren’t the greatest with my phone.
Here’s our little table spread and food. Yes, that’s for two of us hahaha.
They had a photo booth that did GIFS! SO FUN!
So cute though, right?
I am SO obsessed with this vintage bag I scored while I was on a girls trip in Idaho!! It’s in perfect condition and the bakelite handles and trim are SO amazing!!
I loooooove the color of these clogs! At first I thought they were pink, but they are the prettiest blush nude that will go with EVERYTHING this summer!
I can’t handle these next ones…LOVE HER!! AND…The rainbow sunflare I got in these next ones makes me so happy!
She kept tickling me with this, and then…I realized she was really trying to get yellow dust all over my face. See outtakes 🙂
Is this thing working??
This is where I realized she was trying to dust me with yellow powder…
And yes…bikers and walkers were going past us constantly. No shame at this point!
I told Maya we could do whatever she wanted for these next shots. I’ll reveal what she really had us doing in the “keeping it real”… :}
In her words when I asked what we should do…
I wish I could say that I planned this hair flip! But…nope. Total accidental catch, but I love it.
I always ask Maya what she wants us to do in shots.
The girl’s got hops!!
On me…
hahahaha. She wanted to get all up in the camera…
And…licking me yet again… 😦
My new favorite picture of the two of us!!
The many poses of Maya…
I can’t even handle this next one! I want to EAT HER UP!!!
“Mommy, look! I’m an old lady!!” haha.
The Huz was out of town for the first part of last week, and I vowed to get some sunset shots of us while he was gone. Well…we missed it the first few nights, but got them this evening! Actually, I really wanted the sun poking through the trees (which we got), but after we left the park, I had to get out of the car and grab this shot too… So lucky to live where we do!
I attempted to take a few vertical shots, but my lens was too heavy and sank down! Oh, and Maya was standing right in front of the camera haha. The latter wouldn’t have been a big deal if I’d actually captured the top half like I meant to!
