Happy Halloween!

It seems like just yesterday it was New Years and here we are, another year, another gorgeous October in its final closing day making way for November. I love the fall.. and Halloween (candyyyyyy)...and Thanksgiving! It's so fun to bring out all the pumpkin and spices and everything nice like that.

The smell of ginger molasses cookies, banana muffins, pumpkin pie and coffee wafting through the house;  and the warm sense of knowing that the Lord loves us so much that He gave us such a beautiful time to be thankful for family, life, and friends. So much things to be grateful for, not only in the fall and around Thanksgiving, but everyday of every year the Lord sees fit to give us here on this earth.

Let us not go a day without being grateful is my prayer!

Even though there's no trees to turn beautiful colors, and no ridiculously chilly (yet fun) days and the typical "fall-ish" things that other places get, Arizona is pretty this time of year. You take the cool 55-65 degree  mornings and evenings, the smell in the air that only a desert has in cold weather. Fall in Arizona will always be super special and I will crave it no matter where life takes me and where I end up, it will always be a part of me, my life and a big piece of my heart. :)

Oh, and today, (last but not certainly not least) is a very very special young lady's 13th birthday.

This is Kara.

She's pretty darn cute wouldn't you say?? :D

She's great, if you ever want to have a good laugh and have a Full House marathon, she's your girl. She's grand fun and I'm so lucky to have such a cutie for a cousin :)

Happy Birthday Little Kara!!

Even though you're not "little" anymore, you'll always be my Little Kara :)

Well, here's to another Halloween and a Beautiful November !!

and remember,

Stay PRETTY

This little lady is Layla Grace.

She is 2 and a 1/2 years old and is fabulous.

She was born on a chilly day in February and has been such fun ever since I first held her in my arms. I love her as if she were my own child. She seriously is one of thee most precious (Cate being the other most precious;) little lady in the world. 

She is ALL girl. Young, wild and free. She's very independent and has such a fun nature! She is a little fashionista and loves to dance! She is in fact a princess, in case you were wondering, and she wastes no time in telling people she is Cinderella. ;) 

 I always be sure she has the funnest of times with Auntie Cass. I realize I spoil her rotten and she is always rotten to the core after having spent time with me, but that's what we auntie's are for is it not?!? 

Layla brings so much joy to the Adame family, I cannot imagine life without her sweet little smile and her little raspy voice.. <3 I could listen to her talk and sing about princesses

 All. Day. Long. :)

 She is a girl after my own heart, we are like twins! 

Just 19.5 years apart ;)

This other sweet lady is Cate Rose.

She is a doll....

born in the sweet sweet summer time, she has a sunny disposition to be sure. She just started walking and is EVERYWHERE now. Her toothy grin is my favorite; she is SO lovable. She's the cuddle bug and I could cuddle with her for dayys. She looks up to her sissy and follows suit to whatever shenanigans Layla is up to at the time. 

She has started talking and is saying tons of little words by now and has the sweetest little mousy voice and LOVES to sing. And very beautifully, I might add. ;) 

Her sweet nature makes my heart so happy, she can melt even the toughest guy ;) Cate is a sweet heart and you can tell that even though she's a 14 months she is so caring and just loves to make you smile. It's so amazing how much little ones know at such a young age. She is such a sweetie. 

♥ Sweet Sisters ♥

I know to everyone, this may seem like a "brag post", and I know I'm a little biased where these little pretties are concerned but they make the lives of this Adame family happy and they have been the sweetest little blessings! Thanks to Michael and Kara for having such sweet girls that bring so much joy : ) 

||•Prince George Alexander Louis Cambridge •||

I was so thrilled to click onto the news today and find it was christening day for the sweet little Prince.

Because for the rest of us, that meant we were going to see his face for the first time since their family photos we released a month or so after his birth!

I have fallen in love with his little cherubim face seconds after I set eyes upon it, just as I have fallen in love with his parents the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. They just seem like they would be the sweetest couple to have tea with, maybe someday I will have a cup of tea with their little family ;)

These photos are from the Daily Mail  

 Prince George Alexander Louis

I think he favors Kate a lot. :)

 

This one of the two Future Kings makes my heart happy. Such a beautiful picture.

 The beautiful little family; The Cambridge's

Future Kings <3



Kate

Anyone who knows me, if only a little, knew that a post about the Duchess was soon to be in order. 

I just want to talk about her hair for a bit. I seriously envy her hair. Those luscious curls!

 I mean come on. Really?? Can't I just have her hair and heck, be Princess for the day?! One can dream, right? 

This is just unfair to the rest of us girls. 

Her very essence just screams class.

And to think she JUST had Prince George... and looked this great....

I love how effortlessly stunning she is. Casually dressed in a pair of skinnies, stripe shirt, blazer and her signature wedges. When I grow up, I hope to at lest be half as amazingly classy as she.

Cheers!

Sisters of Estrella

Growing up my mom would take our yearly "siblings" photos and every year we changed and got older, and more awkward, Michael (our brother) was in the husky sizes, Lydia's best friends were a huge bag of Doritos and I...was wearing tight Hollister t-shirts with my hair SLICKED, and when I say slicked, I mean like peeled onion status. 

It was rough. :)

We haven't taken sibling pictures since we were about 12, 11 & 8. So me and Lydia thought it was high time that we took more pictures (more up-to-date, less awkward pictures ;) even though it was a little sad because Michael wasn't in these pictures, (we miss him SO much)  we had a lot of grand fun! 

Anissa, our super talented artistic friend, took these photos of us. Let me tell you, this girl is awesome. She's quirky and a lot of fun. We've known her since like a million years ago and we've been through a lot together. One of my dearest dearest friends. Even though our crazy schedules do not permit us more time together, the times we have together are always such fun. She's just really down to earth and personable. 

Anyway, all that being said

We took these photos at Wrigley Mansion here in Phoenix, Arizona. A truly beautiful native Phoenix location.

Hope you enjoy!
