The Most Adorable Neice
Our parents were in town for a family bridal shower, so we got together at our place for breakfast this morning. I made my first crepes (which turned out pretty good), and bacon and eggs. And heeeeere's SOPHIE!
Sophie (6 months old) with her mommy (my sister, Lori)
Sophie with her Nana (my mom, Deb)
... and some more from our visit
Emmalee with her Papa (my dad, Steve)
First thing Emmalee said when she woke up this morning, "Mom, I really love my tutu." I bought her a new tutu last week, and she had to wear it around the house today to show it off to her family.

Sneak Peek: Bonnie
I met adorable little Bonnie and her mother Tara last weekend. Although Bonnie is only one-and-a-half, she's one of the toughest little girls i've met.
What a cutie!

Our Fourth
It was a great day. It was just so nice to be out of the house, not faced with the daily chores and the never-ending to do list. Even nicer to be with family! I hadn't seen my sister-in-law Rachel for nearly 6 weeks, and Emmalee was also happy to spend time with her Aunt Rachel. As you can see, they had a lot of fun watching fireworks together.
The expressions are priceless, right?
Silly Aunt Rachel
My parents' first strawberry! Isn't it cute? We hope there's more to come.
Sparklers!
My brother Stephen ("Uncle")
Watching the snakes grow. Though we all thought they looked more like poo.
It was a day filled with family, fun, fireworks and my mom's jell-whoa shots. Eek! Thanks to those jello shots, the 4th was fun, the 5th was rough. I 'pre-programmed' Emmalee to stay up late so she could watch the fireworks, so she had no problem being up until 10 or 11, but I, on the other hand, passed out before her. Ooops. Blame it on the jello.
Thanks for looking.
Hope your fourth was fun too.

Lily's Sneak Peek
Lily is a 19-year-old aspiring model from the Bend/Redmond area. She met with me Sunday evening for (what was supposed to be) a 'golden hour' photoshoot (using sunset light). It didn't happen though, by 7pm it was dark and rainy with lightning and thunder, so unfortunately we had to cut it short. But as you can see, there was still some success! She will be using some of these for her first portfolio and comp card.It was nice to meet you Lily, good luck at the Victoria Secret casting!

Have a HAPPY FOURTH!
Sharing one of my digital scrapbooking layouts from our family album. 4th of July 2005. 3 years ago? I'm hoping to be back at that very spot this weekend. The Corvallis Waterfront fountain is an old favorite (even though it's somewhat 'new', put in while we lived there). Maybe even be lucky enough to catch the Farmers Market Saturday morning. Hopefully I can get some photos. We're mostly just happy to spend another holiday with family, and watch Emmalee enjoy fireworks as a 3.5 year old. SPARKLERS!!!
