Cheez at Chesebro

Remember Ronnie's b-day gift from here? Well, I'm finally getting around to sharing some of my favorite photos from the surprise family photo shoot. The shoot was a complete surprise to Ronnie and he was none the wiser until the photographers showed up on our doorstep with equipment in hand.  The look on his face was priceless. He loved it. After taking some shots at the house, we headed to Chesebro Canyon which proved to be a truly spectacular backdrop. The entire shoot was so much fun. And I was so very proud of the kids. They were (surprisingly) well behaved. Big shout out to my uber-talented friend Mougeh W. and her equally gifted husband who took all the photos and produced the photo shoot.

Goodbye Summer

113 degree temps in SoCal???? It sure doesn't feel like Fall around here. So rather than spend the first weekend of Fall in AC, our family escaped the heat and headed up to Bucks Lake in NorCal for some boating, s'mores and much needed R&R.





Weekend Wrap-up

We've finally moved our projects to the outside. Friday evening we planted flowers in our front yard. Don't mind the brown lawn - we'll be laying sod soon :)

On Saturday, I gave Ronnie his birthday present.  I surprised him with a family photo shoot. My photographer friend took photos of us and the kids in front of our house and at the state park. The weather was perfect and the photos turned out amazing. More photos to come, but for now here is a sneak peek of the kids:

And on Sunday we started our first DIY project.  Instead of shelling out $2K on Moooi's Random Light, we decided to try to make our own. We used cotton yarn and fabric stiffener.
