Baby S.

Look at this sweet little baby. He is my cousin-in-law's son and an absolute doll. (It's ok to call boys "doll" when they're babies, right?) Here are a few of my favorites...

I love love love this last one... the FIRE in his eye... it just gets me.
Thanks, Brady and Lindsay, for letting me borrow this sweet little guy for a little while.

I hope you like his pictures!

Day at the beach...

My cute sister asked me if I'd take some pictures of her and her little family on the BEACH while we were in California last week. YES, PLEASE!! I love a change of scenery... especially a beautiful beach. Here are a few of their pictures...

I love how this little girl looks at her mamma...

This next one MIGHT be my favorite...

Sorry, Mandy... I might have to MAKE you let me take your picture EVERYTIME we go to

New Port... it was too much fun. Love you guys!

Rodeo...2009

Every year we find ourselves at the Oakley Rodeo. And the last couple of years, I've been bringing my camera... trying to get a cool, rugged, cowboy picture that I'd want on my wall. I don't know if I've gotten there yet... but I'm closer, for sure!

If you havn't noticed, I don't waste my time with the lame part of the rodeo. The part where they lasso baby cows and tie their legs together. I don't waste my time with the chicks riding sparkly horses around barrels, either. No, sir... I go for the extreme sports. Give me broncs and bulls, baby!

This next one's my favorite, for some reason...not wall worthy, but I like looking at it.

I thought it best to leave it in color. I love Rodeo... can't wait 'till next year!
