and thats when i knew...

this man is crazy. and i love him.

happy in july gloom.

yes i got to go home for two weeks! and frankly i enjoyed the cold weather it was a nice change to wear jeans and sweaters. during our time at home we did a ton of things like weddings, dance parties, museums (i love you toulouse), surfing, bachelorette party (thank you fun poles), lots of family, and lots friends. however i chose to only photograph only the most important of events.

like ghirardelli (best sundae ever)






and our mother daughter date. thank you susan and jaclyn!

pause.

its been a while since pat has hit up the skatepark what with his knee and all. heck even i miss skating. good thing michael schoneman is in our lives. he did this little project during winter semester, and it makes me real happy. enjoy.

child's play.

i love being with my family. especially my little nieces and nephews.

our niece ellie got to come out with beck and mike, she may have been a little shy at first but once you get that girl on a quad she goes wild.


last week i got to play with some other cuties in santa barbara. after a long day at the beach bella jason and i decided we needed a little down time in the hammock.


isnt jonah the stinkin cutest ball of love youve ever seen!!



i didnt get to spend much time with queen pheobe but she did share her crooked smile and toothbrushing skills with me.

wax sunday.

having some mantime on sunday is not so out of the norm at our house. however. tidying up unwanted nose hairs is not normal around our house. good thing ol' john hathaway was there to show us the in's and out's of fine grooming.

will you be my first mate?

I love lexy and jay! if you dont know lexy is like a sister to me (maybe because she lives at my house more than i do), and lexy loves anything pirate. so of course when the blackpearl graced the island with its (gigantic) presence jay knew this was the perfect time to pop the question. i called her and asked if she would take pat and i to go see it, (she had already been the day before). she said she wanted to see iron man, so i quickly threw in that we should dress like pirates and take pictures. that did it. we were on our way! we told her and jay to walk ahead and before you knew it jay was on his knee and lexy was screaming shut up! pat got some awesome pictures out of it, because obviously pat views himself as some sort of pirate too!

the security guards wouldnt let us near the blackpearl, but even from a distance it was awesome.











afterwards we partied at brent and katie's


and jackie made the best pirate cake of all time.
