a cute outfit

so I made this outfit for Mara, I thought that she would just love it, but she HATED the shorts ( she said it looked like a diaper), she only stayed in this for a picture or two, then ran up to her room and changed.

when me and my sisters were little my mom made us all these cute outfits, we loved them. see how cute we all looked!!!!

How it came to be!!!!!

Jonah and I met in 1997 junior year math class at Jordan High School :) We dated senior year, then after we graduated we were "friends" for the next two years. In 2000, we started our courtship again, July 14, 2001 we were married. For the first two years of marriage we shared our little home with our sweet little ones: Kya, a beautiful pitbull Cuda, a terrier mix Lucky, a black kitty Pricila, a long hair kitty January 7 2004, we were surprised to find out that we were expecting our first baby. On August 20, 2004 we were graced with a beautiful baby girl. Samara Beth 8 pounds 4 ounces 19 inches long red/auburn hair On October 6, 2006 we had to say goodbye to the most amazing person in the entire world. My sweet momma!! We miss her everyday. We love you! Three years later, September 6, 2007 we found out that we were expecting again. On April 5, 2008 we became proud parents of two, a girl and now a boy. Jackson West 6 pounds 9 ounces 19 inches long blond hair(looks just like his dad) August 2008, we adopted a sweet little boxer, Sweet Sariah Joy.
