The Lone JEDI

"won't somebody come and play, with me?"

this poor jedi is so cute and fun to fight with, unfortunately, big brother won't allow him to play. all the other "jedis" in the neighborhood get a kick out of dueling with him, this makes big brother a little jealous. so, ian takes the clan of jedis to the other side of the street leaving little jedi all alone.

anybody remember the song i was quoting above?

hint: i'm a mormon...yes i am

Chase-Man

today was chase's first day of pre-school! i couldn't pick just

one picture...chase is the man of a 1,000 faces. so, i thought this would be a pretty good representation of what our shoot together was like.

chase loved his first day of school, and can't wait to go back. but isn't that how it is for all the kids who go to miss michelle's? she is the best!

First Day of School

Well we survived the first day of school, the lunch packing, getting dressed, brushing teeth, making beds etc.. all before 8:40a.m. I think getting all your kids ready for school on time should be an Olympic sport.

Anyway, they all had a great day. I am so sad and yet so excited at the same time for Alec. I can't believe he is in High School! (how old am I?) He loved his classes, for the most part, and found kids he knew in almost every one of them! We look forward to a great year!

Here's a few (a few for me anyway) pictures of the first day.

Chase will be showcased in a few weeks, when he starts preschool with the Incredible Miss Michelle!

Last day of Summer...

So, it is the night before the first day of school. I finally got the kids in bed. I had forgotten how much work it really is to get the kids bathed, teeth brushed, etc.. all before 9:00p.m. How important is school? Does it really need to begin at 8:58 a.m. and go until 3:22p.m.?

Anyway, here are a few shots from our last day of summer at the beach. Of course, I couldn't get Alec to come...after all he is 14 now, why hang with the family?

Lexie ended her last day of summer with a little party at the house. I would of shared some photos of that, but I shot those at the wrong settings...

We'll see what tomorrow brings....

Cutie Pies

These cute little kids below are my niece and nephew. My brother's little boy, Adrian, and my (favorite) sister's little girl, Brooklyn. Brooklyn has so many funny facial expressions I couldn't stop laughing while shooting. And Adrian is the sweetest little boy. He is so good natured, can't you just tell? Not hard at all to get a smile or ten from him!

As always, thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!
