Summer time

My latest book

I recently self-published a book of my abstract photography. You can preview the 1st few pages at Blurb.com. I've had a lot of fun making these & I'll be making more when I have time.

Tay & his truck

Kayla's been busy riding her new bike, so Tay's been all about his trucks lately. He doesn't stop moving...ever. He's definitely trying his best to keep us constantly alert of his presence by either yelling or just trying to tackle or wrestle anyone of the "5ersons" near him.

(Princess) Kayla's 4!

So Kayla requested a "Princess/Sticker Party" all her girlfriends dressed up in their finest dresses and they all got to do crafts and play with stickers. She had a blast!

Aquarium!

The kiddos had been really wanting to go, and I have to say I wasn't to excited, as the last time I was there I didn't really pay much attention to stuff. We had a great time though and made it through with all 5 kids...we were w/the Langenbergs also. Even baby Rayana enjoyed the trip, but she's always smiling so it's hard to say if she was just trying to be nice.

Fireworks!

4th of July!

We all had such a fun time at our annual 4th of July coast trip! The Langenbergs all came again and it was definitely a full house! There were 5 lil ones and 6 of us larger people. The weather was perfect as usual and the fireworks were fun to watch as Kayla, and her friends Olivia & Natalie all went down to the beach to stay up late and watch the show!
