Just a Happy Picture

Once again, if you give a 2.5 yr old a marker,

Chances are he may think he should make himself look like a tiger. Or he'll ask his sister to do it, while mommy is in the same room. And somehow, just somehow, she won't notice until its too late. Good thing it wasn't a sharpie!

Poo Party

J.M.

So, i went and saw this great band last night. Besides issues with the venue, and sound system, I think they did great!

It's Easy to See Why I Love Him

Sneak Peek

Here is a sneak pic at what E wanted to get for his birthday.

Six

I can't believe E turned six already. How these past six years have flown by. Here is a glimpse into our celebrations. We also had a picnic in the park, for which I neglected to bring my camera.

1st Day of School

What use is a blog without a first day of school post? Well, since we have been doing school through out the summer, this technically isn't the first day of school for us. And I didn't take any pictures of the kids, in their "first day" clothes, with their new backpacks. That time will come soon enough. So for now, a few flowers. I have SO much to learn about my past time. Recently learning a bit about Macro photography. I love this type of photography so much I think, because it is the things around us all the time, that we look past. God is so creative and amazing, and the things he's made are so intricate and detailed. I hope I can get better at the fine skill, and show others just a glimpse of that glory.

Day 3 - Solvang, Santa Barbara, and Some I Do's

We arrived in Solvang at night. It was lit up and beautiful, like something out of a storybook. In the morning we had to walk around to find the Birkenstock store, and hoped we would not have woken to find "Enchanted Forest" lameness. This little Danish town did not disappoint. It was charming, and cute. Not to mention all the dutch treat they had available too.



We found the shoes, and were off to Santa Barbara.



Checked into our hotel and got ready for the wedding.









My SIL new FIL made this cake. Wow!

Day 2 - Santa Cruz and Monterey

It was waaayyyy too bright, but we needed a shot of us in front of the board walk in
Santa Cruz.
We each chose one ride to go on. I chose the hanging "chairlift" thingy, and D. chose the old wooden roller coaster. I'll admit, I was skeptical. Riding on a roller coaster that was build years before my parents were even born is a bit of a risky venture, but it was pretty fun. I felt like I was going to fall out of the rollercoaster car, when I was lifted off of the seat.
