Do you think Maya is going to hate having her picture taken later on in life? I sure hope not! I think I have the best subject to practice on!

Egg Hunt

____________________________________________________________

This was the first Easter Maya was able to hunt for eggs. Last year she was only 10 months old AND she was sleeping! Once she saw what the other kids were doing, she got the hang of it and filled her basket with eggs! She was so excited! She wasn't in the best of moods starting out because of her hurt lip, but that all changed once she started the hunt!

She has also learned how to climb this tree we have in our front yard. She'll climb up it and just stand there are look around! It's the cutest thing!















Helping her Ba (grandma) plant flowers!

Hope everyone had a great Easter! Our day started off rainy then Maya fell and hurt her lip and was not in the mood to do anything. Poor baby was shocked from her horrendous fall! I was just as shocked from all the blood! :(

Because of the gloomy, rainy weather, we thought that we'd have to do our easter egg hunt indoors, but lo and behold, just as I said in my previous post.....HOUSTON WEATHER IS UNPREDICTIBLE! The sun was shining by late afternoon and we had a wonderful late lunch with neighbors and the kids really enjoyed their hunt AND Maya was a happy girl once again!

Anyways, here was my contribution to Easter lunch.....egg basket cupcakes! I got this idea from a blog I frequent. The lady in charge goes by the name Bakerella (bakerella.com) Go and check out her stuff. She does AMAZING things with cakes, icing and candy!

Don't they look yummy....AND sweet!



Eyeing the goods!



More pictures from our day to follow!

Happy Easter!

I love this time of year. Although, Houston weather is severely unpredictable! Some days it's rainy, some cold, some unbearably hot and others, like today, perfect!

Maya and I take advantage of perfect days like this! We have to because we don't know what tomorrow will bring!

Elena

Elena and I were friends in college. We met while working in a shoe store. Unfortunately we lost touch about 4 to 5 years ago but were reunited through Myspace! Today was the first time we got to see each other after so very long! Too long if you ask me!

Elena is a budding photographer in her own right! We decided to spend the day together to shoot each other and give each other pointers and ideas! We had so much fun being silly and being on the other side of the camera! The best part of the whole day was getting to talk to Elena! We chatted like we were never even apart for that long! It was like we picked up where we left off!

I'm looking forward to hanging out again, Elena!

Maya spent her first time in a hotel last week. Since we were not home, I let her get away with wayyyyy too much! She got to jump on the bed, watch too much T.V., go to bed at a late hour, and run up and down the hotel halls! All in all, she had THE time of her life!

The first three pictures are taken in the hotel room. The lighting in there was fantastic! I knew I had to seize the moment!

The other three are from today! My baby LOVES strawberries and LOVES saying "Cheese" with a mouth full of food!

Enjoy!

Is anybody out there?

Just wondering if anyone looks at my blog! Can you post a comment if you do?! It can be about anything. Just let me know someone is out there ;)

Maya scrapped her knees today for the first time...I guess that's what we get since I dressed her in shorts! But the weather was beautiful today...shorts were a must!

She was trying to get her ball from underneath the car and scooted with her knees. Poor thing! She quickly realized it wasn't like being on carpet. That's when the crying began :( She quickly ran and laid on the swing and began to pout, but her pout quickly turned into a smile....she loves it when her mommy crosses her eyes!

Here she is...yet again! She is growing up so fast. I can't believe how time flies!

I love capturing all of her expressions! She amazes me with how many she has!

Enjoy! ;)
