Days on the farm




I seem to be behind in my blogging. These are pictures taken Mother's Day weekend, when we were at my in-laws. We went up this past weekend too, for our neice & nephew's joint B-day party. We spent some time w/ my side of extended family for a BBQ. Alot of Solon's weekend time was doing landscape work for my mother in law, I would be jealous....but it's been a long time coming for her!...The only other things that are happening:

  • Our washer broke, but Tim got it working again
  • The kids are signed up 4 their swim lessons & penciled in 4 their week@ grandma's
  • Julie, whose hair is flowing in above picture- got a bob haircut
  • Jake is on his last week of baseball

I am looking forward to summer (dare I say break?)

Eat your heart out Hank :)


This is my dad's new toy. A Miata! My grandma passed away last fall, and he put his inheritance towards it. I know she'd get a kick out of it. It is a hard top and we all sang the transformers theme when my dad put the roof down!Well it sure is fun, and my dad is being very relaxed w/ it ....even letting my mom eat in it & helping the grandkids drive!! He used to name all the old beater vehicles he had.....and they were women's names (good job Kaleb A for not being sexist and naming your camper "hank")! We'll see if he names this one!

My wedding photography slideshow

Well, I finally have a quick slide show of some of the wedding pictures I took. It was a lovely event @ Balboa Park in San Diego. As you can see, the bride and groom are a gorgeous couple, and I am very greatful they gave me the opportunity to shoot my first wedding! It was challenging & fun at the same time. I hope you enjoy watching!

Take me out 2 the ball game......


So, here is my baseball guy! It is busy these days w/ 3 games a week and a practice. Throw in our Bible study, and that gives me one day a week where I dont go anywhere....except the coffee stand! So that is mostly what we are up to. We are also clearing out a section of yard to plant three blueberry bush starts. I did have some fun visiting this past weekend at a baby shower for an old highschool friend. I better go get dinner started cuz guess what?.....game tonight!

When you wish upon a star.....







We just got back from a vacation to CA. The weather was pretty good- mid sixties. Took the kids to Disneyland/CA. Adventure parks. They also went to a princess breakfast, so to make it up to Jacob we also went to a Medival Times dinner. We also walked around the grounds of the Crystal Cathedral one day. After our time in Anaheim we headed down to San Diego. The main purpose of going down there was for me to photograph a wedding, so Solon and the kids had a 1/2 day at Seaworld and the beach. Fun times. It was my first wedding to photograph....and I will put some samples up soon.
