Let it be known to all the world that I’m an extremely lame mother!

Not only was it Ashley’s birthday a week ago… I’m not even doing her birthday post yet.  That’s bad enough, but to make things worse…

Amanda had a birthday 4 weeks ago!  Did I post about it!?! 

NO!

Am I lame or what!

So since I haven’t done Ashley birthday photo shoot yet, here’s Amanda’s!

Like I mentioned, Amanda had a birthday 4 weeks ago.  She’s 4 years old!  I can’t believe my baby is getting so big!  I keep telling my kids that they can’t grow up.  They don’t like that idea very much.

Amanda is such a sweetheart!  She’s shy but daring, quiet but oh so smart!  She absolutely loves one-on-one time and her giggles are just the cutest thing every!

Thankfully she still has one more year of preschool left.  I don’t know what I’m going to do when she’s all grown up and in Kindergarten.  So sad to think about.

(Jana, recognize that blue chair?  You might if it were still it’s normal wood color.  That’s one of the chairs you gave us with that dining room set many years ago when I got married!  The other 3 chairs in that set are going to be painted “apple green”, “lilac” and “blush”.)

Working on these pictures I realized I must like her profile cause I took a lot of them!

I don’t know how many cameras have this cool feature, but mine has “continuous” shooting.  Basically, as long as I’m holding down the shutter button and so long as there’s room on the card, it’ll take 4 pictures a second!

So, here’s a little action slide show that I used that feature on!  I think it’s cute!

This is my favorite shot of the “spinning” pictures.  I love how her hair is fanning out!
