hangin with LJ

today i had a lovely greek lunch with my dear lani friend.. mmmmmm...





we then made our way to cumpari's for coffee, dessert and a mini photo talk about flash..






after we were stuffed and done shooting "illegal" photos in cumpari's ("oh no we're not really taking photos of your stuff; we're here cuz i need to learn AV and TV"explains lani, about me taking photos of food and such..."oh i dont know what that is, but ok i guess" said the lady on the other side of the counter), we made our way to mundy park where we were experimentin' with flash and goofiness..or was that goofiness and flash? can't remember.. ;)

power-outage dancin'

ON FRIDAY NOV 21 WE HAD NO POWER FOR 3 HOURS THAT NIGHT.
WHAT ON EARTH IS ONE TO DO WITHOUT POWER AND LOTS OF ENERGY?

APPARENTLY THESE GIRLS REALLY HAVE IT DOWN! :)

work it girl!

when i did the family portraits at the school a month ago, rosie "helped" me one night..of course we took pictures while she was there in between sessions..what a fun time we had.. :)

she definitely knows how to work the camera. :)

airylou+cristo's=birthday goodness!

on tuesday, erin and pete were flying back thru vancouver from their family trip to the dominican. so i asked her if we could take her out for birthday lunch to our very favorite greek restaurant, cristo's.

some of the little gifts i gave to her were funny...like the breath mints that had "bum breath" in it...she always says, "i need gum; my mouth tastes like bum"..so crazy..

so it was lovely time.. happy 30th friend! oxo

stitch and...

my dear friend jeanie hosted an evening of craftiness.. :)

picture this - downtown loft, some super-sweet music on the playlists, lotsssss of sushi, lovely drinks, a mid evening caprese and CHOCOLATE and ice cream accompanying some craftiness = good times!

andrea from lotus events, along with miranda from blue olive photography, joined me at jeanie's place for the evening.

jeanie put together 4 fabulous IKEA table/carts she got on sale to make up her new island in her kitchen! andrea was crocheting some great little apple cozies; they are made of pure wool and protect your apples in your bags, and such - you can see her at got craft - and miranda did digital craftiness on her laptop for indie-i-do in january 2009.

my craftiness? can't tell you exactly, cuz they're for my kids for christmas and my kids read the blog.. :) so you'll have to wait til christmas! but alex the kittie cat had a great time "helping" me out.. giggle..

good times! and thanks for the fun ladies!! :)

baby shower time!!

on monday we had a baby shower for brandon, dar & scott's newest addition. the ladies from her team came and, boy, did we have a fun time! from all the yummy food, to the crazy games we did, it was a lovely afternoon.

i got one of the game ideas from my dear friend rachelle on the weekend; you fill diapers with melted chocolate bars and everyone has to guess by smell, the name of the chocolate bar...needless to say, this was a fun game!

welcome to the world, little brandon! we love you! xo
