Kennadie’s 8th Birthday Spa Party!

~ lollipopsandlightsabers ~ Leave a comment

On Monday, my beautiful Kenna turned E I G H T. It’s hard to believe that number. It feels like just yesterday we were headed to the hospital to deliver our 8 pound, 8 ounce beauty.

Kennadie decided she wanted to have a birthday party with her school besties…so we started brainstorming ideas, and a spa theme was the winner.

I was so excited to plan this cute little girly girl shindig!

We did a cucumber facial, manicures, pedicures, lunch, shirley temples and cupcakes and cookies! These girls had such a blast….and so did I!!

it’s my favorite time in texas. spring time.

gorgeous weather, later sunsets, and these beautiful wildflowers all over austin. in the parks, along the highways, lining the streets and filling the lakesides.

doesn’t get much better!

woo. that was a doozy. thanks for looking.

happy new year everyone.

xo, marley.

springtime in texas.

if there is one thing that’s for sure…it’s that springtime in texas is absolutely stunning. i’ve never seen so many wildflowers. all over the neighborhoods and lining the streets and even the freeways.

i’ve been dying to take the kids out for a session in the fields in our neighborhood, and attempted to do it last week with a big emy fail. so tonight with daddy’s help, we conquered the flowers!

here’s a few of my favorites from our flower mini session. these beautiful flowers are texas’ state flower – blue bonnets, and the red ones are indian paint brushes.

nine months…

~ lollipopsandlightsabers ~ Leave a comment

today, this little pumpkin is NINE MONTHS OLD!!! {insert huge sad face here}
IMG_5639i can’t believe how fast the last few months have gone. i think having children just fast forwards your life. i remember when a month used to feel like an eternity. and now a month feels like three blinks.

emersyn has been a little well, lazy, errr…on ‘her own schedule’ you could say. weston and kennadie were on the move at 4 months old, crawling before they could sit up, and walking at 9 months. let’s just say emy does not feel the need to follow suit. 😉 but this month she did make some huge strides! i think she woke up one day and decided…today’s the day i’m going to grow up! two teeth popped out and she was on the move! she’s been army crawling for a month or so, and sitting for a while, but now she’s cruising the house and just started standing up against things. she gets this smirk as soon as she gets up. it’s pretty good.

she’s also fallen head over heels for her daddy lately. the whole world stops when he walks in the door. and let me tell you…it’s been a long time comin! needless to say, she’s got him riiiight where she wants him. {wrapped tightly around her tiny little finger}

here are some quick snaps from this morning…and as i tell her every.single.day….i seriously couldn’t love her more. ❤
