My friend does something that I think is so smart. She writes "Quotables" - basically cute things her kids say. I am horrible at journals, documenting, taking photos of my own kids, etc...and remembering what they say is the hardest thing for me. So - I am going to start Quotables. Mostly for myself to remember what they say - but now you get to read some of my conversations that I have daily with my kiddos.

Today Brian had a runny nose...
Me: Brian, do you want a tissue?
Brian: Yes mom. I need to wipe the syrup out of my nose.

Me: Does my tummy look big?
Brian: Ya. You sleep with Daddy, then at a lot of food - now you're big like daddy." (9-7-08)

Last one I wrote down was driving home from preschool.
Me: Doe we live in a big city?
Brian: No we live in our house. But sometimes an old man lives in the city.

Tonight - Brian and Brian were singing if you are happy and you know it - taking turns thinking of things to say. When it was Little B's turn he sang:
"If you're happy and you now it dump on the floor."
Daddy: What does that mean?
Brian: Dump your cheerios on the floor and make a mess.

As for Tyler - not too much of actual conversations to write about - but he does like to play a copy game with me. For example - I showed my mom tonight how I can say something (like "hello") in numerous different pitches, speeds, etc - and he copies each one exactly. Kind of funny.

Crescent Bay Park wedding photography - Laguna Beach, CA Reception at Woodburry Village Irvine, CA

I did this wedding back in July - but have not posted any weddings since then - so I am going to try and play catch up. They are such a sweet couple! They were close to the first people we told about my pregnancy because the bride kept insisting I have a drink. :) I love when we have time to walk around with the couple alone - that's when we seem to get the best shots.

















We went to their house in between the ceremony and receptions and got shots with all four of their dogs and their bird. I just really liked this one....






Father daughter dance - I love how she is resting her head on his shoulder - she was like that almost the whole dance.

Woodbridge Park engagement session w/ pet photography - Irvne, CA
