Another picture of my new nephew...my sister Kimberlee went to visit them today and took this shot. She says hes such a good baby, very calm. Hopefully I can go this weekend. I can't wait!

Images By Desiree - an artist showcase

Meet my cousin-in-law Desiree...a very talented photographer. Des has been busy capturing moments with a camera since highschool I believe but has been taking snapshots of life with the blink of her eyes since she was a little girl(so cute!). Her expertise is obvious when you look at her work Images by Desiree. She's definitely got an eye for capturing those special moments.






I love the fresh and sometimes quirky look she has on life..real life moments ya know...




(I love this one..it reminds me of Doctor Who lol!)




It doesn't stop there..just check out her site Images by Desiree and her blog Images by Desiree's Blog, there are pages full of incredibly touching photography and beautiful happy people. Lots of babies too..she loves taking pictures of the babies!

If you are looking for a photographer in the southern California area..I highly recommend Images by Desiree.

I got a card...

This is from my nephew Koa...one evening not too long ago while I was at a function with my family..my 5 year old nephew kept telling me that he had a suprise for me in the car. He was so excited to give it to me he talked about it all evening..finally revealing that he had made me a card. Eventually we all headed out to our cars..I met him at his and he was just besides himself with excitment as he pulled out this larger then life single paged 'card' with his name on it ;-) It was so cute he was so darn proud of it and I think it's extra special as it hangs on my fridge. When he comes over..he often reminds me that he made it for me just incase I forget lol!

Thank you Koa...I love you :)

Hawaiian Preschool Graduation

Friday I attended my nephew Nakoa's preschool graduation ceremony. I've never been to one as my son was homeschooled. It was adorable! They all sang their little songs and did their hula hand motions. The boys in surf shorts and the girls in bathing suit tops and sarongs. I don't have any of the pictures since my sis asked if I would take some on her camera (super nice professional camera..she's a wedding/portrait photographer..I'm just glad I didn't break it!)since she had to do some video taping and run the slide show.

I have this one of my nephew though...my mom took it



before the kids came out my sis in law Charme sang to the guitar playing of her brother in law Wayne while her mom Auntie Val danced a couple hulas. Charme is one of the preschool teachers there. She's gonna have another baby..so I'm gonna be an auntie again :) She knows what she is having...even her assistant knows but she won't tell any of the family yet..she's such a stinker messing with us like that.
