Birthdays and Butterflies

Just seems like yesterday that I was in the hospital bringing this beautiful little beam of sunshine in to the world. I already had a gorgeous little boy but dreamed and dreamed of having a little girl one day. A little bff. A little mini me. Dresses and bows. Dollies and Tea parties.

My wish came true on October 2, 2007.



Happy Birthday Little Miss October!

Flash forward 3 years. Unbelievable how time has passed so quickly. So many amazing moments with her and milestones. I'm beyond blessed to have her in our lives. This darling, girly little inquisitive child of ours who sings Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert and Mike Posner songs at the top of her lungs. She's all personality and pigtails, this one.




Her day was all about pretty colors and butterflies for this birthday. She wore pink sparkly wings, a swarovsky blingged out pink flower in her hair, a cute shirt with a piece of cake on it with a rosette, a ruffle skirt and chocolate colored glittered mary janes.



Nana Pat, who always makes her 4 grand children's birthday cakes, created a frothy pastel butterfly embellished masterpiece. It was chocolate cake with banana filling and whipped frosting. I saved most of the butterflies and flowers so I can add them to a mini book or scrapbook page of the day.




Here is my little butterfly princess with her two equally cute cousins Savannah and Isabella. They are all 3 years old. Just months from each other. I really wanted to take a picture of them together to show them when they are teenagers. Teenagers?

OH. EM. GEE.




She blew out the candles, wished away, she was the superstar of the day. Happy Birthday love buttons.

Happy National Scrapbooking Day!!

It's May already? Where has the time gone? We are almost halfway through Twenty10! I've been playing with paper and glue lately and recently came up with this layout featuring the new Spring Tags from Shabby Shic Crafts! Loving the awesome Springtime colors and cute designs Veronica and Albert have come up with this time around. This silly little picture of me and my daughter was taken from one of those token taking machines that take your picture and the computer "draws" it out on paper. You know the the ones they have at Chuck E. Cheese type of places? Of all the pictures I have, this has got to be one of my favorite ones I have of me and my baby girl when she was about one and a half. A little closer. loving the cluster above the picture. To celebrate NSD, Shabby Shic Crafts and the Design Team Members are hosting a fun Blog Hop and giveaway! Leave a comment for a chance to win a package of 30 fantastic Tags from Shabby Shic!

Where's that baby, huh?

Lot's of emails waiting for me in my inbox that had not been checked in almost one month in a half, (Gasp!!!!) that had been asking if I had given birth yet or if I was going on a 2 year long pregnancy. Even though it seemed that way, either that or I was having a 20 lb baby (ouch..or a 12 lb'er like my local sb friend!)....anywhoo..... Aubrielle Rose Padilla came into this world a whole 2 weeks early, much to my surprise, because I was expecting her around the 14th!... she weighed a hefty 7.2 lbs (I'm kidding, since J was a 9 lber!!) and was a full 20 inches long. She's got all 10 fingers and toes, a full head of dark hair, and she's Jaden's mini me, just a smaller version of him, but with girl parts. lol Hard delivery, long delivery, it seriously dropped kicked me on my caboose. Aubrielle had a bad case of jaundace that we had to address with daily trips to the hopspital but I'm happy to report that she's much better now. I'm sorry this post dos...
