Tom and Christine are Getting Married!

Tom and Christine are friends of ours from Seminary. I had a great time with them at their engagement session. They are both lots of fun, spontaneous and needed little direction ~ they just wanted to be "close" to one another!





Congratulations Tom and Christine!!!

Jessica and Shawn's Wedding

It's official, my little sister is married! Congratulations to you both!!!
We arrived in San Diego a few days before the wedding. I was able to run some last minute errands with my mom and sister.

It was an honor to be a part of the planning for this beautiful wedding, to be my sisters maid of honor and to gain a wonderful brother in law.
The morning of the wedding, Jessica was very calm. She started to tear up while practicing her vows (we all did)! After we were done at the salon, we were off to the Prado in Balboa Park.
Jessica had a little frame with a picture of our grandpa in it on her bouquet. Our grandfather passed away about five years ago, he is still very missed.
Jessica and Shawn both "lit" up when they saw each other for the first time.
Luckily for me, Jessica and Shawn took pictures before their wedding. I was able to run around with them and put my dress on about 10 minutes before the wedding. It was so much fun taking pictures with Abby, (www.abigailkreusergallery.com).


Since it was Memorial weekend, the park was very crowded with visitors. Some took a few of their own pictures and one video taped the wedding ceremony.


My sweet husband Patrick surprised me with two nights in Las Vegas before the wedding. This was our first "6 days" without our children. We had a FABULOUS time (Thank you Uncle Kevin and & Aunt Stephanie ~ and my sister in law Laura for taking this picture)! This August 23rd we will celebrate our 10 year wedding anniversary!

Happy Birthday to You, Happy Birthday Sweet Ella!

Ella celebrated her FIRST birthday with me! ~ only an hour, but I was honored. I met Ella and her parents at the park. It was fun watching Ella explore and share some some special moments with her parents! Here are a few of my favorites :)
