I recently attempted a decoupage project for a sweet sweet friend... and when I say attempted, well, I jumped in knee deep, literally. I started this 'modge podge' baby gift project on my bedroom floor and soon was covered from finger tips to knees in modge podge glue! For any of you who don't know what decoupage is... it's basically glueing layer after layer after layer after layer of pictures/paper/magazines/cards, etc.. onto basically anything. The modge podge is like glue but has something special in it that makes it dry super clear and seals everything in nice and neat. It's such a fun project if you are ever looking for some way to get your hands creatively messy! And trust me when I say you can decoupage ANYTHING!... including yourself if you're not careful... ha! Stay tuned... decoupage debut coming soon!

Our gorgeous prom queen started off not knowing what her hair could really do... she had no idea the amount of curls she had hidden in that hair! :) With the help of some great curly styling products.... we found curls that have never been allowed out in public before!  After maximizing her curl potential, we put it up in a pretty, free flowing, meticulously arranged curly mess. This girl has so much natural beauty, it's really hard to make her any more beautiful than she already is! It was so much fun being a part of her big night. Senior prom only rolls around once ya know. :) I had a blast helping her get ready and of course taking pictures of the beauty of the night! After some amazing cosmetology from her older sis, our prom queen was ready to go. I have a feeling she was the prettiest one at Northwest Rankin's Senior Prom! Don't you agree?!! Thank you so much sweet prom queen for letting me be a part of your fun day! You are precious and such a blessing to me! Love y...

R got some sweet daddy love after our easter egg dying fun. She loves her daddy! I got some sweet sweet shots in between head butts! haha

Check out our pretty, colorful easter eggs! Well we are starting off at the end of the egg dying session, so the cheeeeeeeses were worn out by then, but you can still see the excitement on their faces.  Momma was the best easter egg dye helper ever! :) W loved dying his eggs with is mommy! Look at that nice cheeeeeeeeeeeeese for the camera! :) HeHe, the flimsy lil wire egg holder didn't last long with R... ;o) she went hands on! Worked soooo much better! They were so excited they could hardly stand it!  W, of course, dying an egg his favorite color! He had such a blast... and with mommy's help he made the coolest eggs!

Here are some more shots of our sweet Sister Cooks girls. :)

Recently Christina Dent had the fabulous idea of teaching our Sister Cooks girls how to scrap book. It was so much fun to take pics of them, for them to use in the SC scrap book and also for them to take home. They are such a fun group of girls, so sweet, sassy and precious! Here are a few from the second batch of girls...  Below is Karina. She is new to the US, as she was recently adopted by the Nesekos (sp?) family. She is so sweet and full of life. It is such a joy to finally see her here after hearing about her for so long! Welcome to Sister Cooks Karina. We love you already! 

LiL H is sooo loved and definitely not in need of any lovin and attention :) Miss Personality..... see what I mean..... And her LiL sis E is following right behind her with some cute personality of her own! I love to hear LiL H laugh...

Couldn't you just eat up LiL E with a spoon!?!  She settled into her daddy's love and fit like a  glove :) I loved photographing E. There is such innocence in a newborn; an untainted little miracle. Thank you A for letting me enjoy your lil bundle of joy! THose H kisses are the best!

I would like to introduce you to LiL E. She is two weeks old and as sweet as she can be! She is just precious and favors her mommy a lot. I absolutely loved sneaking some sweet sugars and getting some snuggly baby love!!! At a tiny 8lbs, she is just so loveable. I just wanted to hold her instead of putting her down to snap shots of her. :)  I would also like for you to meet E's big sister H. She is LiL Miss Personality! And she looks like her daddy, but much prettier :) She is so busy, and she got used to the lady behind the camera, and would take off running from me when the lens turned her way.  E and H were such a delight to take pictures of. After growing up with the M family girls, it is always a joy to see the latest additions, and Heindl additions are the best! :) See what I mean....... :) And that is the most amazing husband and daddy this side of west Jackson :). P is such a great dad to 4 girls, yes, you heard me right 4! And he handles it all in true laid back P style. L...
