Picture People Pics

Well last night my mom and I took the girls to Picture People to get Maya's 2yr. B-Day pics made and then some new ones of the girls together. Needless to say it was a good photo shoot but a terrible customer service night! We had a 6:30 appt. and didn't even get back to the room until after 7. Then we waited until 9:15 to even see our pics!!!! Thats right we were told to come back in 30 minutes after we finished shooting and it took an extra 1.5 hours! Then....we sat around for another 45 minutes trying to get the actual prints. We didn't end up leaving the mall until 10 last night....the mall itself closed at 9! Oh and get this there were 2 other families still there looking at the pictures after we left. I will NEVER go back there again. It is Target Studios for us from no on.

The pics did turn out cute though! Miss Maya is quite the ham and once we got Miss Shy Gracie out there she did well too!

Water Bugs!

These two little girls love the water! We didn't get a chance to go swimming with Grandad yesterday so Matt and I let the girls play with the water hose! They thought that was the best thing ever!! They were having a blast until Matt noticed how many darn mosquitos were out. He was getting bit like crazy and I then I saw all of the red whelps on Gracie. She is highly allergic....in fact both girls are! I think Gracie got bit about 15 times in the span of about 10 minutes. Maya only got bit twice on her forehead. So unfortunately the water fun didn't last long and we brought the girls inside for baths. I dosed Gracie up with some benedryl and then put some medicine on the bites and she was good to go!

Pudding!

Oh my goodness...who knew pudding could be so yummy yet so messy! Just ask any mother of toddlers and I am sure they will know what I am talking about! The girls enjoyed some pudding for dessert tonight and probably ended up wearing most of it.

The Calm before the Storm...

The girls enjoyed a little early afternoon time outside today since it has cooled down just a little due to the big storm we are supposed to get this afternoon! They love to run around and play and they were so cute together! I was drenched in sweat within about 10 minutes but of course they were still running all over the place.

Bow Models

I am so thankful to have great friends with daughters that buy bows from me! They have supported me since the beginning of opening my shop and they still support me. It is amazing to see how much I have grown as far as making bows. I look at some of the first ones that I made and I think...oh my goodness did I really think that was cute....ha ha! I so enjoy being creative and trying new things. Here are some of the little models in their Mama's Girls Bows creations!

Thanks to Emily, Cheri, Michelle and Julie for the pics!

Slowly Re-Stocking Store

As the holiday season quickly approaches and summer fades away...I am trying to re-stock the store. I took a much needed break during the summer to spend time with the girls and to deal with my surgery. So please check out all of the new bows and expect more to be added soon!

Lump is BENIGN!

GOD is GOOD! My lump came back benign! It ended up being a complex fibroadnoma! A fibroadnoma is a small rubbery lump common in young women. Mine ended up being complex because it also had a cyst in it. Luckily the pathologist found no malignant cells and no pre-cancerous cells. Now I can finally move on and not worry about that darn lump!!

Thanks for all of the prayers!
