Happy 4th Birthday Ana Kate!!

First thing this morning Ana Kate ran and got in bed with me and said, 'Mommy is it my birthday?'  When I told her yes she kept saying, 'I can't believe I'm 4!'  So cute!

We had a great day today.  We made a quick trip to the store to pick up Ana Kate's cake and she was super excited.  I let her open up a few presents this morning, but made her save a couple for when Daddy got home from work.  We had a small family party and will have another one this weekend when Doug's parents get here. 

I can't believe my baby girl is already 4.  Time goes by so fast.  She has grown so much and I love her more and more each and every day! 

Here is a collage I put together of her 1st four birthdays.

More pictures to follow (as soon as I get them all edited...).  : )

i heart faces | Pet Week

This week at i heart faces the theme is pet week.  I haven't entered the weekly photo contests for quite a while, but when I saw the theme a recent photo came to mind.  In July I did a mini photo session for my daughter and her boyfriend along with their new puppy Meeko.  Meeko is precious and I'm in love with his beautiful blue eyes.  I had several to choose from, but this one is my favorite.
