penelope and traci

I can't believe Penelope is two already! I remember holding her as a newborn when I was 9+ months pregnant. And now she is two and Hudson will be two this week!!!! Time flies. It was such a pleasure to take pics of Penny and her pretty momma, who was pregnant with their now two week old sweet little max.

Me & my little assistant.

way coolest ever dad

Luke really is the way coolest dad ever, and thanks to my grandma he now has a sweet sweatshirt making it official. We had a lovely fathers day BBQ and hung out with family. It was really cool of Hudson to drive us there, that kid really pulls his weight.  Probably cause he has such a great dad.

st. george con cliffords part dos

Huge white suburbans, Vegas with 3 kids under 4, Jaleo (the kiddos ate & thew foie gras it was wonderful.) Kardashians, Tim Gunn, My strange addiction, several tantrums, many naps, amazing pizza (Christopher is one amazing house wife.)

A camping trip that only half our party made it though the night the the ladies and babies went home to plumbing & sheets (turns out taking a 22 month old camping is just about the most ridiculous thing you can do.) We managed to do a lot of fun stuff and a lot of t.v. watching so it was pretty much a perfect weekend.


*And for a little geekery, the last three photos are film. Kodak Portra 400, Nikon N90. They look a little 70's in a bad way to me, time for a new camera.

bear lake con cliffords

After the car parade festivities we headed up to Bear Lake for some raspberry shakes and delicious fried delicacies. While there I met DJ Don Ricky and his very awesome Canon 5d, we geeked out for awhile about all the redeeming qualities of a Canon camera took each others photograph and I have been enjoying his videos ever since.

We of course had a marvelous time with our dear Emily and Aaron. Hudson is kind of head over heels for Aaron, but who wouldn't be? Hudson really had a good time particularly with pole in the middle of our table!

I wasn't going to add these but, as you can see pole dancing took it right out of him and he slept like and angel all the way home. And I mean look at that face, those lips I mean awww. Right? I know.
