All Dolled Up

It was my little sisters prom yesterday. Jessi and Cassi looked so beautiful! My other sister Jacki and I had fun getting them ready (like for the past three weeks). I forgot how much was involved in prom. A girl sure does go through a lot for this. Jessi went with her friend, Jared and Cassi went with her boyfriend ,Steven (lucky boys!). I remember back when they would play dress up and now they are gorgeous young women. Were did the time go?

I just LOVE them to pieces!

Jacki made Cassi's corsage and bu tinier. This picture does not do it justice, they were so lovely!

Why must little feet grow to big for little shoes?

Soon to walk and not to crawl.

A swifter parting from my reach.

Not but a moment from a fall.

I live for these moments we'll one day beseech.

How I will miss these little shoes. -NS

I'd be lying if I said this was the first time this has happened. It is in fact the second, but instead of grabbing the vacuum right away I grabbed my camera. It's hard not to laugh when those big blue eyes are starring up at you as she continues to shake every last bit of baby powder out. I always wish I had a video camera strapped to my forehead at all times. I don't ever want to forget all this.

Mini's Cupcakes

Another fabulous idea Maria had was to go to this adorable little cupcake shop in Salt Lake called Mini's. They had sweet little cupcakes and a cute vintage setting, who could ask for more? I think Maria and I can both laugh when we think about the shear giddiness on our faces that comes with eating all those cupcakes. I love that I have a friend who can enjoy these silly things as much as me.

The Salt Lake Temple

When Sadie and I went to Utah to visit Maria and Abbey, our last day there we did what we called the grand finale. First We went to temple square. I always forget how wonderful it is to just be outside of the Temple until I get there. It was so beautiful. I love the Salt Lake temple it is my favorite. The girls enjoyed the reflection pool more then the view but it was fun to show Sadie the temple. Abbey being two couldn't stop talking about it all day.

Sadie's photo shoot

My dear friend Maria took these exquisite pictures of Sadie. I really can't thank her enough she does such an incredible job. Really, with a camera and a few jelly beans she can work wonders! Maria gave me a few lessons in photoshop and then we edited them with a vintage look. I think they came out lovely.
