Brand New

It seems like all my friends are having babies. I bring my camera when I come and visit just because, well, how can you resist? Thank you Alicia and Jamey for sharing your precious little man with me.

 

I want some attention too!

Knit Night at Ike's

I meet a couple times a month with a group of fabulous women from various walks of life to eat, knit and chat for a few hours. I'm not a crafty person by any means but this group of friends leaves me feeling at peace with the world every time we meet.

The "Roman Holiday" panini sandwich. My favorite at Ike's.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ironically, I'm the only crocheter of the group although I'm learning how to knit now too.

Bobcats at Bearizona

During our camping trip to northern Arizona, we visited Bearizona, a drive-through wild animal park just outside of Williams, AZ. Most of my photographs are typical "family vacation" type pictures so I'll spare you but I did like the way these pictures of the bobcats turned out.


 

 

 

Kaibab Lake

We spent five days in northern Arizona near Williams in a rented RV. My parents and siblings brought their RVs and we camped at Kaibab Lake. It was so nice to spend time with family in the cool pines.


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Daddy, will you hold my treasures?

TMC Father's Day Photo Contest

My entry into the TMC for Children "Daddy Read to Me" Photo Contest

This was actually a point and shoot pic that was too overexposed but I loved catching 2 year old Jonas' expression. I converted it to B/W and played with it a bit to get the effect I wanted. 

Sleeping In

 

The Resort

We took a little vacation over Memorial Day weekend to attend a wedding in Mesa, AZ. I decided we should have a little fun and booked us into the J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge since they have a fun "lazy river" pool and slide. It's a beautiful property and great for families.

Breakfast with Daddy

 

 

The J.W. Marriott Desert Ridge has a fantastic herb and vegetable garden. The harvest is used in their restaurants.

 

 

Jonas found little silver styrofoam beads in the lawn used in some sort of decoration from the night before.

 

Dad!
