I will let the images speak for themselves…. This family is, in the words of Zoolander, “ridiculously good looking.” And they are as pretty on the inside as they are on the outside! Enjoy the eye candy!!

the Woods family ~ phoenix, arizona

Posted on September 14, 2009

Got a chance to swing by and do a “drive by shooting” of the Woods family this weekend (basically just drove up, hopped out and shot the fam and then took off - all legit of course :). Steve and Teresa are part of our Sunday School class at church and Ashley is becoming a favorite babysitter for my girls. All in all a much loved family of many many people around these parts.

of tea parties and making memories…

Posted on September 9, 2009

a few weeks ago, my little girlies and i had a tea party. our first tea party. our first of many tea parties i hope. i dressed them up in some play dresses and pulled out the tiny china tea set we picked up at a garage sale. we stopped by the store and bought pink balloons and cupcakes and flowers. the girls dressed up at princesses.

why?

why not?

actually, we did have the party in honor of someone else. Ava’s story is HERE. grab a tissue and read about her. its beautiful an heartbreaking. her momma, Sheye, is trying to turn the ashes and pain into beauty and joy by inviting people all over the world to have a princess tea party in honor of her little girl’s birthday.

so we honored Sheye and Ava… and we made our own sweet memories.

everyone in the store kept asking what the special occasion was, or whose’s birthday it was. my answer was “just because.” and i realized how a “just because” celebration quickly becomes a special occasion when its with those we love and cherish.

here’s to more tea parties and movie nights, and ice cream for dinner “just because”….
