Sorry if you're birthday'd out. It's like one long birthday extravaganza around here.
My Pokey joined us 2 years and 1 day after Little Man which makes for a crazy first week of August every year.
We try to space them out if possible to prevent me from losing my marbles, but it becomes one LONG party.
I don't do photo shoots every year but since I did one at the request of Little Man I thought it only fair that I also did one for Pokey. Hubs brought home the balloons and Pokey picked out the dress. And miraculously enough, they worked. Too bad she wouldn't wear the cute boots. But some battles just aren't worth it. I still managed a few cute pics.
This year also marks one whole decade that Pokey has been with us, so I thought it would be fun to share one Pokey-ism for every year of her life.
And now I'm going to shift gears for a quick second. This message is to all you photogs out there: Make sure to stop by this Friday, August 26th, for a Crazy Days of Summer Finale you won't want to miss. We have an ah-maz-ing prize package giveaway full of photography and scrapbooking goodies galore. Just check out these sponsors.
One photo enters you into the drawing. It doesn't matter if you haven't participated in previous challenges. All are welcome regardless of skill level. Just stop by Friday, Aug 26th with a fav summer photo and you could be the lucky winner! It's that easy!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Link your photo(s) below. And make sure to check out some of these other fab WWs!

ReplyDeleteI love how you marked each Pokey year! My girl also went through several of those... and blings, all things glittery... definitely appealed to her.
The kids must be having one heck of a blast with all the celebrations going on. The pictures are beautiful, as usual. Now you got me all sentimental about my daughter's hitting 7 this year! lol
Beautiful photographs....
ReplyDeleteAlicia, every week I have issues with linking up and Linky Tools. Especially with your site. I'm not sure on what it is. I just wanted to let you know. I stopped using that service almost 2 months ago.
Such festive shots. Wishing her a happy birthday!!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous colors. So lovely!
ReplyDeleteIm posting a bday pic too! Both my girls share the same birthday..I know how you feel!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Your daughter is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAt least they're summer birthdays though - all 3 of ours are cold-weather ones. Didn't plan that very well- no outdoor parties or photo shoots here!
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous - happy birthday!
Happy happy birthday Pokey! She's so pretty!
