California wineries

While my awesome family was here... we of course hit the Temecula wineries. It was great. We only hit 3 wineries.. and we were done. It was 100+ degrees and we were hot, but managed to find them all with AC- it was wonderful!! Andrew and Heather

More weekend Fun

So, here are a few more great photos from the weekend.

Andrew and Reilly. I love this photo. She is sooo scrumptious I could eat her up...

Emma post chocolate baptism cake!

Reilly and grandpa

Toby smiling...

Emma painting cousin Adam's nails.. (he was such a good sport)

Only Emma could pull off her sparkle shoes, tutu and ride a scooter at the same time...

Aunt Kathy got into the spirit as well and let Emma paint her nails as well.. :)

Random photos of the week

So, I am trying to play catch up and wanted to make sure these got included Reilly and Grandma
This cool jumper is Zack's birthday present from Grandma. When I tell you the kids love this and burn a bizzillion calories jumping.. trust me, it works.

Toby playing with Emma's dress up things- yes I had to post this. He always teases Zack about the girly dress up.. but the minute he can, he is just as dressed up as his brother..

Pretty princess, yes, this is going to be her Halloween costume!

My girls

So, sometimes your photo shot is totally not what you thought you would get. I LOVE this photo of Reilly. She was playing watching her siblings play while she held her doll. I really like how it came out. Emma was laughing watching me take photos of Toby's football practice. Again, not what I was going for, but I totally love it.

Reilly Christening

Okay- so I am way behind. Forgive me. So, my wonderful family came for Reilly's baptism. We had a great time. There was so much going on, and so many activities, I am just very glad I had my camera. These are some of my favorites...

Football Season

This year has been crazy! Football season is finally among us. Toby is a Bronco this year. It's been a lot of fun watching them play and learn. He loves it and has gotten really good at this game! His cheerleader- she loves to yell and scream and cheer him on!

His Jersey - #10

The cheerleaders line up at the end of the game. The boys going running through and the families now line up as well. It's really cute but IMPOSSIBLE to photograph.
