Happy (late) Birthday Ben {My Life}

March 31, 2009 – 8:17 am

Yesterday was Ben’s birthday. I can’t believe we didn’t do anything super fun or even go out for dinner. We have a long history of celebrating his birthday together. The first year of college right after we met… before we even started dating… back when we were just friends… I organized a birthday dinner for him when I found out he didn’t have plans. How could you not have plans on your birthday? I had to do something about it :) We don’t always do something fun and exciting but we always do SOMETHING to celebrate.

Having two babies makes life pretty complicating. It is worth it a million times over but it is very very complicating. Yesterday we ended up substituting fun birthday celebration for carting Paul around to three different doctors’ appointments. And then he didn’t sleep well because he was sick. I feel bad for Ben AND for Paul. Not a great way to spend your birthday for sure. But that’s how great of a dad Ben is. He never once complained.

He is my husband, best friend, babies’ daddy, and number one fan all rolled into one. I love you so much Ben. Sorry your birthday was no fun.

And just because I wanted to have a picture in the post… here is one of my absolute favorites of all time.

Candi & Bret {Married!}

March 29, 2009 – 9:22 pm

I couldn’t have been more excited to photograph the super awesome wedding of Candi and Bret at the Coronado Community Center in San Diego a few weeks ago. These two are some of the most fun and crafty people I’ve ever met and their wedding was full to the brim with super personal details and fun little bits of “them” thrown in. Add in a handsome groom and oh so pretty bride and I had quite the day of fabulous photo ops. I had so much fun picking and editing favorites in fact that I got a bit carried away so get ready for a super long post :) I know what you really want to see is the images so I’ll spare you most of the commentary on this one so you can get right to the fun part… gorgeous wedding goodness! Ready… set…. go!!

Happy 1/2 Birthday! {My Life}

March 27, 2009 – 9:32 am

I cannot believe that my little preemies, who were less than 5 pounds at birth, are now big beautiful 6 month old babies, each weighing in at over 16 pounds. Where did the last half year go? I can’t believe they are so big and so old already!

Allison’s bridal shower {My Life}

March 24, 2009 – 2:47 pm

Allison is my baby sister. True she’s grown up to be a smart beautiful independent adult woman, but she’s still my baby sister. Sometimes it’s hard for me to realize that she’s actually getting married this summer (but then again maybe it’s hard for her to believe that I have two kids so I guess we’re even :) ) Our amazingly talented hostess/chef/superwoman aunt threw her a bridal shower a few weeks ago and I have been meaning to post a few photos from it ever since. I am not kidding when I say that my aunt should be an event designer. The level of detail she goes to for every event, holiday, or even just family meal at her place is amazing! Check out a few of the details. Allison’s wedding colors are orange and blue and she’s having origami birds as favors so Bonnie picked up on all of that for the shower!

There was a “not yet newlywed” game where Allison’s fiance had been previously videotaped answering a bunch of questions. They had to match up their answers… here’s the bride to be thinking very hard about the answer to one of the questions :) (they did pretty well by the way, only 6 wrong I think)

The super hostess and lovely bride to be!

A bunch of the shower attendees. A couple of girls had already left before we took this. Yes Tara and I are huge in this shot, but at least we look cute so it’s ok ;) Thanks Holly for grabbing this photo for us!

Allison I can’t believe your wedding is just a few short months away!! I am so excited to be your matron of honor and see you make such a huge step on your life’s journey. I hope you had as much fun at your shower as I did… your wedding is going to be the best ever (except for mine of course!). Lots of love, your big sis.
