My random posting about my family.

Sledding in Del Mar

Ok, not really sledding… the boys got these new boards for Christmas called Spooners. I think they are made here in San Diego.  I had just done a shoot (sneak peek coming soon) in Del Mar at the beach and the sand was pushed up into big steep hills.  Perfect for the boards.  And today is amazingly beautiful.  And I love the beach in December… love it.  So I pulled my “Please don’t make us do anything but lay around the house” older boys and the fun loving “i’ll go anywhere” Slater to the beach.  And this is what we did.

These were all shot with a little Sony cybershot… when you are used to full creative control with a very good camera, point and shoots kind of suck (and not really just kind of)

Dear & Yonder Tour Dates

My sister must be so relieved to have her movie done and ready for the tour.  We’ll be going to the Encinitas showing and Santa Cruz.  If you want to see a beautiful movie (I know it’s going to be) about surfing and women, you need to go see this movie.  You probably don’t even need to be a surfer (I am not:P) to enjoy it.  Here are all the dates.  Seriously… go see it.

Cabo, day 1

I have a post with this exact title i am pretty sure. This is our second spring break in Cabo at my dad’s place. It’s totally amazing, remote with every luxury one could want, and perfect to spend time with my dad and Dawn and my family. I think I have five days of photos so let’s see if I get through and post all five days.

This is the palapa that my dad built with a few guys. It’s so great and especially love the surfboard racks under the roof. And that little car on the right is the ‘carrito’ which we all totally love… except the boys love the quads the most, the very most, especially Dallon.

one more time

This is the last Slater post, I promise.  I am even adding in a few of Tucker and Dallon (one each:).  So here is the story behind these though.  Slater wanted to put this outfit on because it was for ‘dancing’.  Which reminds of a little story I don’t want to forget… A few weeks ago, I told Slater to come to me so I could put his shoes on and he said, “first I have to do my dance” and then he breaks out into this crazy little robot dance.  And I say, “ok, how about now”… “just a minute mommy. I’m not done.”… and continues to dance… to no music.  I digress.  Ok, so he puts on these pj’s from last summer and is having the time of his life jumping and bouncing all around outside and here are the images.
