Sierra Michelle's 3rd Birthday!

My Sierra. She's one of my favorite people in the world. She is the perfect child. She fills my day with such joy and happiness. She makes me smile constantly. She is loving and sweet and genuinely a good person. She loves her family so much. She is funny and clever and easy going.

I dressed Sierra up like a little ballerina for her 3rd birthday shoot because, well, how could I not with her walking on her toes all the time!

She felt awfully special and was being awfully cute! She would run away from me and hide and then giggle giggle giggle.

My gosh I couldn't love this girl more!






We went out front so I could write her age on the sidewalk and take pictures. She thought it was so cool. I then drew some squiggles just for fun.


After I took a few pictures of her on the sidewalk I let her color with chalk.



And then later in the day I took a couple more pictures of her before we left on errands. I just can't resist her adorable little face!




I'm so very thankful for this child. If I could I'd put the last three years with her on repeat and forever parent my baby Seece.

I've been asked this a few times. I've been meaning to answer it, just haven't got the time! I will as soon as I can, though ;)

About

Welcome to my little home on the web. I’m so glad you stopped by.

My name is Ariana and the majority of what I blog about is motherhood related.
I’m a stay at home mom to three. I take lots of pictures, mostly of the every day stuff. I enjoy sharing my pictures with others and so my blog was born!
I’ve been married for 7 years to Allan, who is a wonderful husband and an awesome dad. I'm very lucky.

I tend to blog in a journal style since I print a blurb book of my blog every year. I try not to talk too much, but it's hard and sometimes I really get rambling. I suppose that's my warning that there may be a lot of reading sometimes. lol
