Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf

My girls dressed up as Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. Brianna isn't really Big or Bad, but I didn't want my little girl to be that kind of wolf! I made both of their costumes, with the exception of the leotard Brianna is wearing. We had a fun little photo shoot down by the river.
I want to frame a few, do you have a favorite?

Brianna: Goldilicious

I bought this backdrop forever ago and was so excited to use it...then I realized my girls didn't have anything to coordinate with the backdrop. Soooo, after some time I finally made Brianna a dress and matching head band to go along with the backdrop, and we still have put off her photoshoot. When my girls have their birthdays I like to do a few different photoshoots and put a book together...so we finally did another 5 year photoshoot for Bri this weekend. I have one more in mind, then I'll finally get her book together!
I love the new backdrop! What do you think?

Bri loves to pose and she loves to dance so she kept posing with moves she has learned in her dance class! She's such a fun girl to do photoshoots with!

My big girl!

Brianna has had a very exciting week! I decided that she was doing well enough with food lately that I'd let her start to eat normal food (though I should have started out more slowly with one type of food item at a time). She's been on a gluten, dairy, soy and nut free diet for almost 2 years. She was also free of eggs, citrus and berries for at least a year as well. Last week I let her eat "normal" food (anything except most citrus stuff) and she seems to be doing ok. She has had a little bit of a runny nose here and there which I'm not sure if it's food related or a little left over from a little cold she had already gotten over. I guess time will tell. I still need to look out for eczema patches, etc. but she seems to be doing pretty well. She hasn't had any tummy troubles though! Sooooo, she's been one super happy little girl! All throughout the day she asks, "Can I try______?" and then responds after eating the item, "Oh, it's so delicious!" She is in heaven...pure heaven I tell you! She'll just be absolutely devasted if I have to take it all away again. Maybe I should have introduced it more slowly, but I was feeling a little overwhelmed and seeing her so happy I couldn't help myself!
Cross your fingers that she can eat like a normal kid!!!! We are so excited to start taking her out on "dates" to eat things that she hasn't been able to do. We are still avoiding high doses of milk like ice cream or glasses of milk, and citrus, but most everything else is up for trying!!! This gives me hope that someday Panda will be able to eat something more than a rice cracker!
Here is Bri with her friend Kaylee. Kaylee just turned 8 and is getting baptized so I was taking her pictures and brought Bri along. Bri had a little mini shoot as well! She kills me with her poses. She asked me, "Mom, does Kaylee know how to model like me, or do I need to show her?" I guess we need to work on her being modest about her talents! Love her though!

I bought this rain jacket and boots for photoshoots and we ended up using it on the hottest day of the year so far!!! We'll have to try it again on a rainy day! I love it!
I also made these ruffle jeans the other day and was wanting to take pictures of them! They are so versatile with her outfits, and help dress things up "just enough." I just need to make Panda a pair!

She seems like such a "big girl" here!

Pink, Pink, Pink!

So, we still aren't moved all the way in, but we are getting there slowly! We are loving the new house and I'm having fun decorating the new place. Here is a tiny peek of Brianna's pink room! She begged to have a pink room, and though it wasn't what I had in mind, I really like it! I still have a lot more "decorating" to do in her room, so you don't get to see the whole thing yet. I'm hoping to take some of these pictures from this post and blow them up for her room! I just need the internet connection at home so I can order prints from my printing company! One more week and I should have the internet at home!!
Brianna got bunk beds in her room and she LOVES them! When Miranda gets older the girls will share the room!
