Merrill Family Photo Shoot

I took pictures for the Merrill family on Saturday. Monica was my trusty assistant and she did a GREAT JOB! I'm so glad she was there to help me out and give me some moral support. They are such a cute family and we had a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy!

New Bikes

So we got some new bikes a couple months ago and we finally had some time this weekend to go get them from my parent's house. Donavon got a road bike so he could go long distances. Tonight we road to Tim and Monica's house and we all road to my parent's house for dinner. We felt like a biker gang riding through the neighborhood. It was so fun and we could eat as much as we wanted during dinner because we knew we were getting exercise! It's a win win.

Here is Donavon, he was just heading out on a bike ride here.
Go Donavon! You ride that bike!
And I got a beach cruiser...where is the beach you ask? No where in site but I couldn't resist how cute this was. I LOVE IT! It even has a bell that says "I love my bike" I ring it all the time.

Fun with nephews

When Amy was here we took all the boys to go play in the fountain at Desert Ridge. They LOVED it! Here are some pictures of my cute nephews.





This one wasn't at Desert Ridge but I thought it was cute

Happy Halloween!

Look at this scary picture! MONICA, YOU 'RE A GH...GH...GH...GHOST! Here is my Mom's halloween costume. She was one of the people who show dogs at those big dog shows. She even ran around in a circle with the dog dragging behind her. It was hilarious!
Here she is with my Dad, he was a newspaper printer man. His shirt said Times Mirror. Suzie (the dog) was just waiting for my Mom to drop that dog so she could get it!

And off she goes. Look at that dog's form. You can just tell that he is of good breed and his teeth are in immaculate condition. That dog is sure to win the Eukanuba best in show!


Here is Matthew...I mean spider man relaxing on the couch. I love this picture!
Here is the whole spider man family. James is the newspaper boss, Tim is Peter Parker, and Monica is the secretary (I forgot her name) They had great costumes!
So the plan was to have our traditional Halloween spook dinner on Monday night. On Friday night my Mom found out that my Dad was going to be out of town on Monday so we decided to have our dinner that night. We had to come up with costumes last minute so I am a scary bride (notice the machete...EEKS!) and Donavon is a Melaleuca customer. When I worked for Melaleuca they gave us all jump suits and I got one for D. Fancy!
That knife got old so I decided to be the run away bride instead.

Cute Colin!

My sister Amy and her little boy Colin came to AZ a few weeks ago. We were so excited to have them here! They live in San Diego, Ca and had to evacuate because of the fires but their house was just fine. We just wish that my brother in law Brien was able to come and join in on the fun too. One afternoon we went over to the Desert Ridge Marriott to take some pictures of Colin. He is such a cute kid! We had a fun photo shoot so have fun looking at the pictures!
