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.

beach session

with a super-great family!!! had sooo much fun with them at J-C beach yesterday. MAN was this family fun....i think i got more pictures of their kids sneezing (and dogs butt...hehe) than ever documented prior to this! thanks red tide: (wish there was a smiley face that had boogers to truly let you re-live the event....so much sneezing and only one-YES ONE tissue...this photographer is prepared!!!!

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.
