Have you ever seen anything so cute?!

I made her a "5" shirt to wear for the day!

My second attempt at making my girls shirts!

Getting a little better each time :)

And finally a {FAMILY} shot of us after the long day.

Mia loved her first ever FRIENDS party so much.

It was the best weekend ever and I wish I could relive it again!

Happy Birthday to our Mia!

Our Baby Mia is 5 Years Old!

Once upon a time there was a VERY pregnant Marta who thought lounging by the pool in a bikini was the norm.

5 weeks before Mia arrived.
Don't be JEALOUS of my hot body!

 

On July 8, 2004 out came the most PERFECT little girl in the world!

3.5 weeks early.
Mia Adeleigh
6 pounds 4 ounces.

Look at those cute feet!

She was so PERFECT in every way.

She slept, ate, and was ALWAYS content and happy.

Mia wearing an outfit that was mine when I was a baby.

Glad my mom kept it!
All three of my girls wore it.

Mia' FIRST Birthday Party!

(I was pregnant with Sophie and didn't even know yet!)

A few weeks before she turned 2!

Love this face she is making :)

Mia's 3rd Birthday at Six Flags!

Her first day of school!

Her 4th Birthday Party!

And yesterday...her 5th Birthday at the water park!

Total Bliss...

Because of you, Mia, our lives are so much happier and meaningful.

You are the most kind hearted loving little girl in the world.

Thank you for teaching us how to love like never before.

Happy 5th Birthday to our Mimi!

Weekly Blog Hop!

I entered my first ever BLOG HOP!

How fun!

This week's topic is FAVORITE PHOTO.

I have WAY to many to pick from.... here are a few :)

(Sorry if this is illegal.)

One of my all time favorites.

Mia and Sophie in the Spring of 2007.

They were playing on the washer game and it looked like they were holding hands.

I had to snap this moment in time.

Ever since Sophie was born they have been the best of friends.

Another favorite.... Mia's first pitching experience.

Windmilling to Daddy up at his field.

And just for fun! Mia hiding from Santa UNDER the table.

WOW!

{*My Little Firecrackers*}

We had a WONDERFUL 4th of July!

Look at my FIRECRACKERS ready to go.... tattoos and all!

I made them these flip flops to wear!

Mommy and her girls POSE before leaving for the day.

We spent the day at my uncle's gorgeous property!

The girls didn't want to leave.

They loved this trampoline (one of two) overlooking the lake.

Gracie and Mommy

They even had a baby DEER!
How awesome is that?!
Mia and Sophie were obsessed with petting BAMBI.


How cute!


Sparkler time!

Mia's turn.

Thanks to my fabulous hubby, Steve, I got a few {Mommy and Girls} shots.

I NEVER get these because I am always the one with the camera!

Hope you all had a wonderful 4th!

Mom got a pedi also.

After our girl time bonding at the nail salon, we had some of my family over at our house for some dinner and fireworks!

Grandpa was giving Mia some of his FAMOUS hitting lessons.

Miss Gracie was walking around LOVING the sidewalk chalk and sparklers.

Sophie's first sparkler this year.

She was not real impressed.

Sophie warmed up as the night went on.

She loved the sparklers!

Hope everyone has a SMORES filled 4th of July shared with family and friends.
