Handsome Ian

Here is my handsome nephew Ian. He is in drama and musicals in high school. He is almost 15 yrs old, where does the time go?

growing fast

River is nearing the 1 yr old mark. I cannot believe the year has gone by so fast. Here are some shots from 10mo old. 

Having fun with the lighting!!

River's 1st Easter

We had the pleasure of celebrating River's first Easter in Ventura at my Aunt Judy's house with the family. It had been many many years since I had spent an Easter in Ventura. When we were growing up in Oxnard we used to have all the holidays at our house, but once we moved away that stopped. We had a great day. I look forward to River and Stryker growing up and spending holidays together. 

Lily's visit cont

here are the San Clemente shots

Lily's Visit

River and I had the pleasure of meeting Lily Mantooth. It was so nice to have Charlotte and her family come to Cali for a visit. They live in Tenn and we had never met Lily before. She turned 1 on her trip here. We had so much fun. We spent some time in Huntington Beach with Sharon, Lani and Taj and then we went to San Clemente. River had a double surprise when his God-mom Lauren was there in San Clemente too. Yay, what a day! 

Cousins

My dad is here visiting from Thailand so we made a day trip to Bakersfield to see my sister and her two boys. River and Stryker are only 6 mo apart so they have a lot of fun playing together. Ian is almost 15 and he is so smart, I enjoy chatting with him so much.  River LOVES his Auntie and his cousins.
