My oldest “baby” is almost 7 and felt in the modeling mode tonight.  Just grabbed a few of her and had a couple of Livvy, the real model of the family, from when we were at the beach a few weeks ago.  She just turns herself on to “model” when the camera is out.  so funny!  Love you girls!!!

This weekend was so awesome!  I flew into Seattle Washington on Saturday for a surprise b-day party for my oldest brother Lee.  He had NO CLUE that this was all brewing.  My mom, brother Rich, and sister Lynn all drove up with my nephews in tow the day before.  So much I could go on about….where do I start.  It was just the coolest thing to see my brothers face when he walked in.  I think he had a blast dancing, singing, having “a few” drinks :).  It was a ho-down, that is for sure.  Yee Haw!  Here are some pics from the party, but the first picture is a collage of pictures I took just in Lee’s back yard.  It’s so amazing, with a greenhouse in back, a full barn with train room, I think I counted 10 quads and now he has a new dirt bike to add to that collection, just so many nick nacks, antiques, just way cool.  Love the collage…..  Thanks to Haley for putting this whole party together.  You did an awesome job!!!  Love you Lee!  

Last Friday night I had the priviledge of photographing an extended family with FOUR generations in attendance.  How fun! We went over to Clover Valley Park in Rocklin California and caught some good sunlight through the trees.  I have just started proofing but these couple of pictures caught my eye and I wanted to share a sneak peak with their mom.  Thanks Jenny for allowing me to photograph your family.  Your web gallery will be ready shortly!  Enjoy!

This year I volunteered to be the school photographer….. wow, lots of work, but sooooo fun!  Just wanted to post a quick collage of some of the kids.  This is only a small representation of all the kids… so many more.  When I have time I’ll post some more.  Lovely kids here and lovely teachers.  Morningstar Montessori is the best school my kids have ever attended, by far.  I highly recommend it.  Call and ask for Robyn or Gail for information on enrollment.
