Little Champ

This little man has been through a lot in 6 short weeks. He has recovered smoothly from a surgery on his skull, traveled 5 hours from Chicago to Sacramento, and managed to stay healthy with a doting toddler cousin around. He is indeed a LITTLE CHAMP.

Meet my nephew, Carter.

Abi's Radio Flyer

I have to say that generally speaking, I am not a HUGE fan of the "single red rose in a B&W photo" look. But on this occasion, Kami suggested we color only the bike red...and I really love how it turned out. Major props to Crystal for teaching me how to do this on Photoshop! Her instructions were seamless and easy to follow, unlike my techy dork teacher from my PS class.

Little Tyson

This is one of my preschoolers, Tyson. We were at the park yesterday snapping pictures and I really liked how his turned out. Look at those blue eyes! I love the scrapes on the side of his cheek...they just scream 4 year-old!

The color on this first picture is a little wild. I was playing around too much with my iPhoto editing tools and then it got a little too pink. If only I was saavy on Photoshop....(hint brandon or wendy). Just kidding.



Black and White...love the hand on the chin. Nice placement, Tyson.

Life's a Beach in SB

When you take 300 pictures on a vacation, it is really hard to narrow down your favorites. So, sorry for the onslaught of pictures you are about to see.






Santa Barbara Pier

Skate Park - Jack was entranced by the action. Future skater?

The Mountains of Santa Barbara

We went on a morning hike in the mountains that overlook the city. The drive was beautiful. We especially enjoyed taking pictures by an old stone bridge after our hike.

Downtown Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara Courthouse - You can climb up to the top of the clocktower for 360 degree views of the city.

Troy on his cell phone...Is Jack pretending to be on the phone, too?
