I Heart Faces Challenge- Hugs & Kisses

This is my beautiful daughter, Annie, and her favorite doll, Elizabeth. There are a couple of special things about Elizabeth:

1. Nanny and Boompa gave Annie this doll.

2. She is an American Girl doll, and she is brown like my daughter

3. She lives in the closet in a doll chest most of the year b/c Annie's neurotic mother is trying to keep her hair pretty. She does get to play with her from time to time. And, I have heard the American Girl doll store has a beauty salon. So, I am working through my neuroses...almost. The first step is to admit it, right???

Texture Tuesday

 I decided to use the Phoebe texture with vivid light. Really liked the funky look for this delicious beverage.

I Heart Faces Challenge- White

I love this photo of my mother and nanny. I am not sure what my mother said to my nanny to have her laughing so hard, but I will cherish this photo forever. It is raw, and I love it! For more great "white" photos, check out I Heart Faces.

I Heart Faces Challenge- Water

I would like to introduce Shark Boy! Ta-Dah! Too bad you can't see the fin hands and feet on this child. Max loves this set and he chooses to wear it often. This boy loves to swim and the name is fitting! He loves to terrorize his sister with this head gear.

Crazy Days of Summer- Yellow

Mom Tried It- Broken

This little guy has been with us longer than our children. It has weathered many storms. I was hoping when we moved from our last house, that my husband would be willing to throw it away since it has a cracked foot. Ohhhh noooo! Not my gnome loving husband! I am starting to think this may be a family heirloom for our children. Sad, I know!

Have you ever noticed that when you have lived somewhere your whole life that your forget to check out the tourist spots? Well, it's been about 15 years since I have been to the Fort Worth Stockyards. Loved getting there early to take some neat photos and beat the heat!
