Green Princess

I went to a princess party the other day. She decided to be a green princess for the party. Whatever works right? :0)

Last Monday

2011-12-05T22:50:00.000-08:00

Last Monday Sweeps and I were crossing state lines to go hang out with his family. The visit was short and sweet. We got to see his Uncle's little boy as well as his Aunt's son. Both of his itty bitty cousins are too cute.

Last Friday

2011-11-11T13:02:00.000-08:00

Last Friday we were hanging out at the beach with friends. (Flying Kites, Playing Football, Eating, and Laughing Together) I wish we were still there.

Picnic in the Park

2011-11-05T23:03:00.000-07:00

Sweeps and I headed out to the park last Sunday for a little picnic/nature walk. We both really enjoyed it. I think we both needed a little fresh air and time with each other without any distractions.

Surprise, Surprise

2011-10-17T17:36:00.000-07:00

Sweeps surprised me with these the other day. I love the colors on each flower. It's funny because I used to hate roses, but now that I am older I see the beauty in them.

Another Cutie

2011-10-11T23:52:00.000-07:00

I've been photographing her since she was a baby. Time sure does fly.

I Could Just...

2011-10-03T23:09:00.000-07:00

I could just take her home w/me. She is too cute. I loved photographing her.

Look Out

2011-09-27T23:06:00.000-07:00

I think I just shot pictures of a future "America's Next Top Model". This little girl was rocking her photo shoot. Look out everyone, this girl knows what she's doing infront of the camera! :0)

Twinkle Toes

2011-09-08T18:18:00.000-07:00

On Monday I took pictures of little Miss. Twinkle Toes in her pink tutu.

District Convention

This year we were in town for our convention. It was so nice to see our friends and make some new friends too.

In the Yard

2011-09-07T20:55:00.000-07:00

Lazy Dayz

2011-07-31T19:56:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun with my cousins. They are back home in Spain now. I wish we got to see each other more. Thank goodness for Skype.

Sweepster

2011-07-31T19:35:00.000-07:00

Last weekend Sweepster and I went hiking con mis primos. We had so much fun with them. I just loved this picture I took of my Sweeps.

Mis Primos

2011-07-03T19:06:00.000-07:00

River Walk 2011

2011-06-28T20:50:00.000-07:00

Sweeps and I decided to take a walk along the river the other day. It was nice to be out in the sunshine and just hang out together.

Just Dinking Around

2011-06-28T20:30:00.000-07:00

Here are some fun photos from this past weekend.

Little Graduate

2011-06-17T13:39:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, our little Wetfoot graduated from Kindergarten. She looked so cute with her fellow classmates. She was so excited because I did her makeup for her before going to school. After her graduation she had a little party at the house with cake and presents.

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

2011-05-11T20:22:00.000-07:00

Wetfoot loved how I did her hair on Sunday. She was so cute. She kept running her fingers through her hair. I just had to take a picture. Of course Sweeps jumped in and took a picture on her lap. I think he wanted a little attention.

Weekend Get-A-Way

2011-05-11T19:55:00.000-07:00

Sweeps and I went out of town last Friday. We had a blast hiking with friends. We stopped by the chapel were we eloped almost 9 yrs. ago. Still looks the same. What crazy kids we were back then.

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo

2011-05-11T18:56:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, we took my friends little Munchkin to the rail road museum. She loved it. However, I don't think she loved the stranger that volunteered to take our picture.

Big, Bigger, Biggest

2011-04-28T23:48:00.000-07:00

I swear Wetfoot is getting so big. She is trying to teach herself how to whistle. She practices almost every day. She has also been trying to ride a two wheeler now. I just tell her to keep practicing. :0)

SIDE NOTE: Doesn't she look like a little ballerina with her hair like that?

I luv this lil girl.

Little Painter

2011-04-24T21:25:00.000-07:00

I know it has been awhile since my last post. Sweeps and I have been staying busy as always. We've been working hard to change things and make our life the way we want it. We decided to take a little break from all the hard work and just enjoy our weekend. Here are a few shots I took yesterday of you know who being her goofy self and showing of her painting skills at the kitchen table.

Think, Think, Think and Think Some More

2011-01-23T21:12:00.000-08:00

I took these shots today of Sweeps. This pretty much sums up our weekend. We both had a lot of quiet time to think. Being an adult is hard sometimes. We've been trying to figure out a lot of things lately and create a new game plan. Hopefully, it won't take to long. :-)

Mexico

2011-01-03T20:13:00.000-08:00

Sweeps and I had a blast in Mexico. Since I had time off for the Christmas break we decided to head south of the border. The weather was great and so was the food. We also made some new friends along the way.

Fall Is In the Air

2010-12-13T21:29:00.000-08:00

My sister stopped by our house for a visit this past weekend. I took a picture of her out front with all the pretty fall leaves. I just love the fall.

Mi Papa

2010-11-14T21:13:00.000-08:00

This is my Dad. I love him so much. I took this picture of him today in his backyard.

When I was growing up my dad would always take a picture of his tree in the fall. This year I was able to snap a picture of him infront of his tree. Love ya Dad!!!

Mini Excursion

2010-11-03T09:02:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of pictures of Sweeps and I from our Mini Excursion over the past weekend.

Butterfly 1-2-3

2010-10-31T22:46:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, Sweeps and I went out on a date. We saw some pretty cool butterflies on our little excursion. Just thought I'd share one that I photographed.

Get it Together

2010-10-16T18:36:00.000-07:00

We've been slowly working on the Baby's Room. Today Sweeps hung some cute ABC letters on one of the walls and a couple of weeks ago we put the crib up. I will be so happy when it is all said and done.

Anniversary Diaries

2010-10-10T13:24:00.000-07:00

So, on Tuesday, October 5th, Sweeps and I celebrated 8yrs. of marriage. We went to a nice restaurant for dinner and drove around town in the limo. It was a nice surprise.

Banana Baby

2010-09-10T17:57:00.000-07:00

Here's a couple pictures of my banana baby from our recent camping trip.

So Long Ago

2010-09-08T23:01:00.000-07:00

Missing my little wet foot today. It seems like so long ago since I took this picture of her. She is getting so big. She just started kindergarten. I can't believe it... Does that mean I'm getting old?

Ham and Cheese

2010-09-03T19:01:00.000-07:00

On Wednesday, I photographed this little ham with his cheesy smile and all.

Camping Time

2010-08-30T16:45:00.000-07:00

This year Sweeps and I decided to go camping at the beach. Poor Sweeps had booked a charter but because of the wind it got cancelled. I think he still had fun catching crabs and playing football on the beach.

Guess Where We're Headed??

2010-08-29T13:48:00.000-07:00

Smile

2010-08-16T22:32:00.000-07:00

This is Sweep's Niece. She was all smiles today for her first day of Junior High.

Anticipation

2010-08-12T00:43:00.000-07:00

Sweeps and I are eagerly anticipating the day when we will have another member to our family. For now we are just nesting and fixing up the baby's room.

Shootin Around

2010-08-10T00:01:00.000-07:00

One of my photographs from earlier today. What a pretty girl.

Miss. Sophisticated

2010-08-08T11:07:00.000-07:00

I've never met a more sophisticated 10 year old. She told me she loves the opera and playing golf with her Dad. To bad I can't say I was that sophisticated at that age.

Flashback

2010-08-04T16:47:00.000-07:00

I was looking at old pictures today and came across this one. This picture is from when I was three. Here we are just hanging out with our library books on our parents bed. I love that from a young age my mom would take us to the library to check out books.

Wishing

2010-07-29T16:29:00.000-07:00

Wishing I was sitting pool side right now with this little cutie.

Look Who's Growing Up

2010-06-27T12:39:00.000-07:00

I've known this sweet girl since she was seven. Now this sweet girl will be starting high school this fall. Time goes by fast.

Sisters

2010-06-17T15:13:00.000-07:00

Last night my little sister and I made our way over to the minor league baseball game. It was a good game. Our team won 4-0. Hanging out with my sister reminded me of a couple of sisters I photographed a little while ago. We both have a several years on our little sisters.

Treinta y dos

2010-06-12T17:33:00.000-07:00

That's how old Sweeps turned today. I did a mini photoshoot of him today. I think he looks quite dapper. We had lunch in the city and than meet up with a close friend of ours whom we hadn't seen in a year. So nice to meet up with old friends.

It's a Friday

2010-05-14T20:54:00.000-07:00

This is how I feel at the end of a long week. And let me tell you it's been one of those.

Little Miss Muffet

2010-05-09T11:42:00.000-07:00

A Look In Time

2010-04-10T14:11:00.000-07:00

The other day we went to visit Sweeps Parents. His mom gave me these pictures of him when he was a Itty Bitty. I thought they were kind of cute and wanted to share them.

It's A Date

2010-04-06T17:13:00.000-07:00

Sweeps and I had yesterday off. It was so nice to spend the day together. We decided to take a trip to the state capital and take a tour of the place. It's nice to see where your tax dollars are going. Plus, the tour is free. Afterward, we went out to eat for a little Italian food. My Favorite!

I'm One

2010-03-30T19:21:00.000-07:00

Lovely Girl just turned one and I had the privilege to take some photos of her this past Saturday.

T.G.I.F.

2010-03-26T22:53:00.000-07:00

Thank Goodness It's Friday. So glad the weekend is here. Happy Friday Everyone!

One Minute To Win It

2010-03-26T22:45:00.000-07:00

So our new crazy, is the t.v show "Minute To Win It". Sweeps and I thought we'd try our hand at one of the challenges. The object is to stack three golf balls on top of each other in one minute. Doesn't he make it look too easy?

Green Thumb...Maybe??

2010-03-17T22:10:00.000-07:00

So, I decided to try my hand at gardening. We'll see how long this lasts.

Ocean Side

2010-03-11T17:10:00.000-08:00

On Sunday, Sweeps and I had a little costal fun. We both just love the beach. We decided to have a picnic on the beach. It was about a 10min. hike to the waters edge but well worth it.

She's Back

2010-03-02T17:46:00.000-08:00

Here's some fun pictures I took the other day of Wetfoot. Look at that crazy hair!

Hop 2 It

2010-03-01T19:03:00.000-08:00

The weather was so nice yesterday so we decided to have a little bit of hopscotch fun.

River Walk

2010-02-16T22:21:00.000-08:00

Yesterday Sweeps and I headed over to Union Square to walk along the river. We strolled across the bike trail in the perfect mid-60 degree weather.

Monday Tasks

2010-02-08T14:18:00.000-08:00

Folding clothes on a Monday. When does it ever end?

On the laptop today and saw the reflection of outside on my screen. Just thought I'd share.

Breath Taking

2010-01-27T17:29:00.000-08:00

Driving home from the assembly.

Derailed

2009-12-26T11:24:00.000-08:00

Here is another group of photo's from yesterday. This young lady was fun to photograph. Thanks M!

Abandoned

2009-12-25T20:21:00.000-08:00

Today I was able to get away for a few hours and just do what it is that I love to do. How fun for me? Here's a few photo's from earlier today.

Surprise, Surprise

2009-12-20T08:39:00.000-08:00

Yesterday, Sweeps surprised me with flowers and dinner in the city. It was such a nice day. For dessert we ordered a cheesecake with a creme brulee topping. And it had a hint of kiwi-mint as it's base. Soooo Goood!

Kiss, Kiss

2009-12-16T22:13:00.000-08:00

What do I love to see when I'm having a tough day? ... those lips puckering up for a kiss. Love you too, my little Wetfoot.

Balloon Twirl

2009-12-13T00:11:00.000-08:00

It's the small things that make them happy. Like dancing around the room with a free balloon from the store. I guess it doesn't get much better than that... huh, Wetfoot??

Mirror, Mirror on the Wall

2009-12-08T18:52:00.000-08:00

So, on Saturday Sweeps surprised me with this mirror that I've been eyeing. Oh, how I love my mirror. I think the girls love it too. Last night I caught them playing infront of it. I just had to snap a couple of pictures.

P.S. Ignore the clothes they are wearing. They dressed themselves.

Out My Window

2009-12-06T19:29:00.000-08:00

I looked out my bedroom window the other day and this what I saw.

Take Two

2009-11-30T19:46:00.000-08:00

Here's a few more photos from the other day. Just thought you'd enjoy.

Model Ms.

2009-11-28T22:36:00.000-08:00

Today I snagged my friend's daughter and shot some pictures of her. She's quite the model. Don't you think??

Park Days

2009-11-07T17:31:00.000-08:00

Another fun day at the park. I taught Wetfoot today how to push herself on the swing. She got so high. It seems like just a few months ago she was scared to swing that high. What can I say?... She's growing up.

The Lounge

2009-11-02T20:02:00.000-08:00

So, like I said we've been on the go. Last Saturday we went to a lounge to hear Brian McKnight perform. We had such a good time. My girlfriends and I got a picture with his son Brian Jr. after the show. He sounds a lot like his dad. Sorry about the picture quality. It was taken with a cell phone.

Confused

2009-11-02T19:44:00.000-08:00

So, I been confused about what to do for work. Even though I enjoy working with children with special needs, I'm still not satisfied. I'm seriously contemplating going back to school. It's hard because my passion is photography but I'm not sure if that is going to be the best thing for our family. I'll leave you with a picture I took of lovely girl awhile back. Hope you enjoy.

Wedding Bells

2009-11-02T19:09:00.000-08:00

We've been BUSY over here. Well, we moved on October 24th and that night we went to "Party Girl's" Wedding. Well...actually we didn't get there in time for the ceremony. But we did happen to make it for the reception and I did manage to snap a couple of pictures. I mean after all, you must admit we got there in time for what really matters. The partying!!! :)

Out and About

2009-10-22T17:11:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, Husband and I had a night out on the town with our good friends MoJo. We went out to dinner. Then we headed to the bay area for a concert. We all had a great time. I can't wait to do it again.

Planetarium Fun

2009-10-18T11:25:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we made our way over to the Planetarium with Wetfoot. She loved it there. We made a "Chemical Reaction", checked out the animals, she flew into outterspace, and watched the stars inside the dome. When we headed into the room to watch the stars she asked if we were going to get popcorn. Too Cute Wetfoot.

Moving

2009-10-18T10:51:00.000-07:00

Next week is the big week. We are moving next Saturday. We are all excited about the move, epecially Wetfoot. I told her that at our new place we'd be painting a mural in her room and then she asked if she could paint a tree on the wall. Sorry Wetfoot. I don't think that is going to happen.

Happy Anniversary 2 Us

2009-10-06T19:45:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was our anniversary. I can't believe that 7 years ago we ran off to the Chapel of the Bells and said "I Do." Time goes by so fast. In the 7 years we've been married we've moved 12 times and Husband has been in the hospital countless times. But you know what, I'd do it all over again. I love my guy soooooo much. Here's to you Sweeps. Ma Hall Key Ta!!!!!!

"Blue" Photo Challenge

2009-09-27T17:01:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone I decided try my hand at it again. I am entering this photograph that I took in this weeks competion at www.iheartfaces.com. I like it because the color blue is a strong feature in this image and the baby's expression on her face looks a little blue.

Oh No

2009-09-21T22:32:00.001-07:00

Did you hear the news? We are going to be moving next month. I'll miss our little place but it's time to move on to somewhere that is a little bigger. I am excited in a way but it is still bitter sweet.

SleepOver

2009-09-21T21:58:00.000-07:00

This past weekend we had four little girls roaming around the house. Our good friends MoJo went out of town for the weekend and we watched "Little Miss J" and her Sissy too. They had a ball watching movies, getting temp. tatoos, going to the park, wrestling with husband, and of course jumping on the bed. I mean a sleepover just isn't complete with out a little bouncing on the bed. Wink, Wink! Hearing the girls loudly whispering after I put them to bed reminded me of my sleepovers when I was a little girl. All I can say is Girls will be Girls.

“Contemplative” and “Pets” Photo Challenges!

2009-09-14T19:15:00.000-07:00

I took this picture awhile ago. I just love the expression on her face. I decided to enter it at http://www.iheartfaces.com/

Hot Hot Hotcha Hot Cha Cha

2009-09-13T12:32:00.000-07:00

It was hot over here the past few days. My good friend Mo and I took the girls to the water park on Friday. They really enjoyed it. We always have fun with "little miss j" and her sissy too.

A Family Affair

2009-09-13T12:19:00.000-07:00

For Labor Day weekend we went to old town with my cousins. They were celebrating the gold rush days. It was cool to see people dressed up in costumes from that time period and learn more about what life was like back then. Thanks for the visit.

Back At It Again

2009-09-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

Last weekend we hit the road for another camping trip. We loaded up the bikes and fishing poles and headed out to a different site. We ended up at the good old Pine Lodge. We had a lot of fun jumping off the dock and hiking. I really liked the spot we went to. There were these little squirrel's that were too cute. I just had to get a picture of them too. Now this is my idea of camping.

The Beach Vs. The City

2009-08-15T12:30:00.000-07:00

Last Sunday we took Sweep's little nephew to the city and to have some fun at the beach. He's visiting us for a couple of weeks. He lives in Texas so we don't get to see him that much. Sweep's parents came along too. We all had a load of fun.

Crazy, Funny, Silly Face

2009-08-11T17:15:00.000-07:00

And this is how I feel today. Need I say anything more?

We're in the Ville Now

2009-08-10T19:42:00.000-07:00

On Saturday, we decided to be spontaneous and drove out of state to visit some of husband's family. Along the way we saw a tree covered in shoes. I guess that's how they do it out that way.

Arr Matey

2009-08-10T19:20:00.000-07:00

Boy Oh Boy! We had a crazy-busy weekend. On Friday I took the girls to Pirate Park. They had a lot of fun there. Especially riding on the spinning ride. Here are a few snapshots of our little trek to Pirate Park.

Marshmallow Madness

2009-08-04T17:21:00.000-07:00

This kiddo loved the great outdoors. He was perfectly content with his marshmallows on a stick or shall I say his "flying orbitron with two spinners," as he called it. Just watching him dig himself into the dirt like it was sand at the beach reminded me that kids can find so much joy in even the simplest of things. Thanks my little Mowgli.

A Camping We Will Go

2009-08-04T17:05:00.000-07:00

It's been awhile since I posted last. Things have been crazy busy around here. But than again what else is new. We had parties to attend and dinner plans with friends. Our latest adventure happened to be our camping trip this past weekend. This was my very first time camping. I had a lot of fun even though I had to take a cold shower and sleep on an air matress with a leak. While the men cooked, us girls got to relax, and Brawin the dog slept most of the time. It was a great experience.

Lovely Girl

2009-07-19T10:51:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, I had the chance to take some photos of this little cutie. I really enjoyed it since I hadn't actually done a photoshoot in sooo long. I really miss taking photos. Now, all I am able to do is snapshots. Maybe one day I can get back into it.

Pretty N Pink

2009-07-13T18:03:00.000-07:00

Wetfoot's Sunday Morning run of the house in her pink pajamas and pink cowgirl hat. So, goofy?
