A friend of mine sells Lia Sophia jewelry and needed someone to host a Oscar theme party so I did. We had a great time, Hope is such a jewelry girl I think she ended up with more jewelry then anyone, her Meme always gives in. Hope decided who needs a pole to dance or monkey bars to climb when you have a refrigerator. Sorry Mom I had to put in the crying picture she was heartbroken when I took her 5th bag on M&M's away. She quickly recovered with some strawberries and cheesecake don't worry.
Hope and Sailer went to a Fancy Nancy Soiree the other day. Hope was a little distracted during the story time since it was in one of our favorite toy stores. She usually love all the Fancy Nancy books but she was very busy getting into the c-a-n-d-y. I think we have officially hit the terrible twos.
Hope's friend Sailer had a few friends over for a fabulous Valentines Day Party. The girls made heart shaped pizza (with their matching aprons and hats), v-day cards for Daddy's, ate cupcakes and of course played. Thank you Tara and Sailer for a great time and wonderful pictures.
I just love the little town I grew up in, the downtown is so beautiful at night. Here is a picture I shot after dinner the other week. I miss the small town feel but I love what a big town offers. A perfect example is Ruidoso is a small ski town with no indoor play area for kids not even at McDonald's. So it is cold or snowing 3/4 of the year what do Moms do without somewhere their little ones can run and get some energy out. Guess we are just spoiled with all the fun play areas around here.
Hope getting all her energy out at the junior flyers club before our plane ride to Ruidoso.
Hope doing a forward roll with her coach. Sorry they are a little out of focus but I had to post them.
Hope and a few friends playing at Monkey Business. Hope's favorite area there was the fitness room. I have never seen a baby treadmill, too cute. Hope thought she was a big girl standing on the scooter.
Ryan's Mom put together a 80th birthday party for her Mother, Hope's MeMe. Hope and I had fun picking up some decorations and gifts for her. I really like taking pictures because if I am behind the camera I do not have to be in the picture. I think I have been in enough pictures in my life it is time I take some, now if I could just get better at it.
Hope loves this baby Roller Coaster she could play on this all day. We need to get one but where would we put it.
We always go to lunch after gymboree and today was such a beautiful day we let the kids play after lunch. I really just wanted to get my camera back out a snap a few pictures. I am still working with some things from photoshop.
A few of these are out of focus and lighting not that good. I am trying to edit them but still need more practice.
