hey mom," come watch us catch fish in our lake!"...

i'm impressed they do catch fish. the only fish i've ever caught i really didn't. it was just on my designated pole. and my dad's uncle russel was nice enough to convince me that because it was my pole i had caught it.

the curse...

sometimes i feel like i've got it. as far as my photo shoots go. i am a magnet for sick kids

and rain. and i'm not talking a drizzle, total and complete pouring rain. then to avoid it we sweat to death in the crazy heat here. i'm really excited for fall. hopefully the weather gods will like me better then? {this was us checking out a location for a shoot. one i had to reschedule due to a massive down pour. when we went back to do the shoot, flowers gone. i wanted to cry. we still were able to get really cute pictures which is what really matters but really i'm hoping my luck changes soon. somehow the lighting is always easier when i'm checking out place too go figure.}

all good things must come to an end...

i guess.

{pretty much a perfect trip. to bad the trip home was a mess. the sb airport is teeny tiny which i usually love except if they delay our flight and then we miss our connection home since there is no direct flight to houston. to make a long story short we were dropped off at the airport twice and spent the night in phoenix. but we did eventually make it home. guess we really should have just stayed forever.}

the fun continued...

hiking and a carousel ride with pp, aunt sara, nick, nat, addie, lizzie, and rachel what could be better.

a dent...

is what you left in our hearts and in our carpool when you left, and moved to bakersfield. thank you thank you for making the trek to SB to visit us. it was so fun to see you! but it also made us miss you more. hurry back so we can play, and swap kids, and {throw cute birthday parties together}.
