happy happy birthday little miss magic!

cannot believe its even possible that my kennedy is turning eleven today.  CRAZY!  she is the sweetest, sassiest, smartest, spaziest {thats def not a word =)}, silliest, girliest {evidently thats not either..}, funniest, prettiest, chattiest, sincerest tween i know.  and i love her with all my mommy heart.  i remember the day she was born like it was yesterday and im absolutely sure she and i have already created a life time of memories and weve only just begun our second decade together.  she will always be my baby girl and she is quickly becoming a wonderful friend as well.  i love her heart. and every new freckle on her sweet little nose.  she is my little miss magic and she is quickly learning to make up her own mind.. someday she's gonna learn how to fly.  but for now im going to celebrate another birthday with her big smile.  and pretend like she will be my little girl forever.  love you angel-bugg!  hope today is great!!

introducing maggie may..

the kids and i went to the trade days event here in mckinney this weekend.  it was hot.. i splurged on lemonade.  i told the kids we were NOT spending all day OR a fortune.  they could have something small.  she is small alright.. =) 1.2lbs to be exact.  she's an 11 week old shorkie [imperial shih tzu & teacup yorkie mix].  and she is everyones new favorite person in the house.  love her so much!

..now thats a watching party. [the 2010 episode]

just like this time last year.. we rang in a new COWBOYS season with our closest friends. =)  and of course we needed a photograph to remember the occasion.  oh what a difference a year can make!  a few of things to note. 

• korb had his tonsils out 2 days before this pic was taken. =(
• i LOVE kps hair. ;)
• korb and macy share a face!
• brayden was sleeping last year.. thats his excuse for not looking at the camera. ;) he promises to do better next year.
• we forgot to include the bumbo =( oops.
• thats last years picture on the laptop in the background.. we used it for reference on where to sit. =) we will leave it out next year too.
• jaime elizabeth carter definitely doesnt have a tattoo on her right ankle that we photoshop out of every picture. =)
• dalton JUST wants to watch the game!!
• i predict that this group will grow before the 2011 season..
