I'm soooo EXCITED


my sister is coming to town tomorrow!! woo-hoo!! SHe and her husbsnd are visiting for 2 fun-filled weeks. Keep in mind 2 of my 3 kiddos have been spiking fevers, coughing all night and waking up a 5am?? So this visit is going to be a sleep-deprived, lots of last minute holiday stuff to cram in, late night gabbing, entertain sick kids, attempt at making germ-free cookies, Motrin for everyone, WHIRLWIND of a visit.

I will love every minute.

***pic of my little one last time my sis saw her in October.

wonderful....just



a wonderful family. Had a quick holiday session for a really neat family. VERY loving parents to 2 adorable kiddos. I am pretty sure the little guy had more fun exploring the trails than taking pictures...and J probably won't miss me asking her to sit on dirt or rocks with that beautiful princess dress!

happy birthday to







G2!! Went to a lovely party for my son's school buddy. The family was super sweet and my little guy had a blast......even after eating 8 pieces of licorice and puking during the group photo (good times). The party was a hit and the goodie bags an even bigger hit; who can argue when a kid sees a lollipop bigger than their head??

Wrong Coast


I am in California. Work related trip. AND I can't get over how the water is on the wrong side! (hehe).
The surf was HUGE the past few days. SOoooo many people were skippin out of work and grabbing their boards. It was awesome to watch.....kinda wished I had some surf skillz to join them.

my baby goes to


school....OMGoodness I can't believe she went to school today. She has been sitting in her carseat BORED and not the least bit patient while I have driven her older sibs to school. Today there was no looking back. Instead of big sister walking her to her class, she was ahead of the pack wondering why her entourage was so slow...hehe. That's my Bai. Lovin being a *big kid* SIGH.


The school director complimented me for how well I did...I guess I did handle it pretty well-no major visible tears....just feeling shaky and pukey and sad and proud and wanting to invent the freeze-a-child so she'll stop being such a big kid. *BIG SIGH*

Wheels








Lovin the weather lately. Lots of outside time for the crew....which really means lots of fresh air and early bedtimes...hehe!

Brothers




Having a wonderful pre-pre Thanksgiving day with my little ones. I am sooo procrastinating about the food shopping, though....do we REALLY need turkey or can we just grill?
kidding. kind of;)

Had a great shoot with a super cool family this weekend. LOVED-LOVED-LOVED the bond between the boys. Super cool to see that 3 y.o look up and respond to his big brother. Gigantically-Super cool to see a big brother sooooo good with the little guy.
