crafty kids
Grandma and Auntie Verna came over today for lunch and crafts. We made pot holders. Except I think we can’t use them as pot holders. That’s okay, Megan has come up with 101 uses for them.
After lunch we made cupcakes from a pan that shapes them to look like ice cream cones. Nothing I bake...

We did our 5th annual apple picking excursion with Julie and her family today. Aside from the extreme heat, it was a perfect day. I am definitely hauling the family out there in a couple months for photos when it cools off. I love taking pictures there. And I actually practiced outside with my new...
sunday
This was a busy weekend. Yesterday I had a photo shoot at a home in West LA, something I normally don’t do. The kids went to the Conns to play with Daniel and Elizabeth while I did that and Rob fished. Pretty weird to have the kids I used to babysit babysitting my own kids. ...
Shane and Shanena visit from GA!
Shanena, Shane, and their girls were in California for a family reunion. We got to see them over the weekend. Rob took Shane kayak fishing and I got to photograph those adorable little ladies (along with Shanena’s friend’s little girl)!

We went to see Annie at the local college. I consider myself an “Annie expert” and can say that the show was spectacular!
basketball and parties
Today the boys had their last summer basketball game and a basketball party.

I photographed a fun birthday party in Pasadena while Rob took the kids to the basketball party. Then we met at Grantie’s to celebrate Corey’s 12th bday.

scrapbooking and stuff
This week the kids had their annual check-ups at the doctor. All are doing great. Today was Megan’s appointment. After that, we scrapbooked all day. Nathan begged to be dropped off there, too. I warned him that it was boring. Even with crafts to do, he lasted 2 hours before calling Rob to come get...
