it's a heat wave....

our summer so far has been so nice! we haven't had any real hot days....until now! boy have we been hit with one big heat wave. 107 degrees is not my idea of fun! i was scheduled to do a photo shoot for this wonderful family in fallbrook, but with the temps being the way that they were, we changed locations! thanks guys for being so fun...i know it was hard to not just want to dive into the water from the get go!

beach party!

well we have made it through the first week of school. i haven't made it to their first day of school pictures...but here are some from the beach. we had a great time at the beach right at the end of summer. it is always fun going to the beach with great friends. the kids always have so much fun!

hope everyone is finding their groove with school back in session...only a couple more weeks before chase goes back to miss michelle. oh what a glorious day that will be. it has been so difficult for him trying to understand why everyone else has school but him:)

from indie to plasma

so, the intention of this shoot was to get some great action shots all dressed up like indiana jones. we had the hat, the whip, a great shirt etc...however, he wanted nothing to do with all that stuff. so...we did we what he wanted. we climbed the tree and rode the plasma car. i think he liked the plasma car:)

bouncing baby boy!

this little guy is so cute! he's the biggest one i have had in while. i so love me some chunky baby! it took us awhile to get him in a good sleep, but when we did he cooperated pretty nicely.

less than a week until school, yikes! need to get these kids on a better schedule!

three little cuties

i had a great time the other night with these cute kids. they were so sweet! i just wanted to the little girl home with me. she is two, and i so love that age. we had a fun time playing in fallbrook...

isn't he adorable? quite the character!

you never would of guessed this guy just had 4 teeth pulled. he was so good for us. he was starving and could hardly eat a thing. what a sweetheart..watch out girls!

check this out!

check this out!!! this is for all the music lovers and little girls out there! jeff, can you play the cello like this?

wild wild west

ahh, what a vacation. where to begin....after lake powell we headed up to the "valley" to hang with family for awhile. and then the real adventure began. we drove to jackson hole, where we met up with some more family. jackson is such a beautiful fun place. we did the dinner up in cache canyon. they take you by old pioneer wagons up the most beautiful canyon for dinner and a show. it was sooo cute! the kids loved it! and the food was pretty darn good too:)

we spent much of our time at different lakes fishing, kayaking, boating etc...this first picture is one of the fish that ian caught. after he reeled it in, it fell onto the floor of the boat. he refused to touch it. so this is a picture of matt kinda holding the fish. we didn't want it die, so it is a pretty lousy picture. (we were not allowed to keep this type of fish, hence he had to go back in.) unfortunately, this is the only fish we caught, lol!

isn't this just beautiful?? got to love old faithful!

this is a shot that matt took, and i absolutely love it.

isn't my baby cute?

i'm not sure how many merit badges i earned on this vacation....but i think it's a lot:)
