Fun times in July and August

For the month of July and August we had fun with fireworks, camping and I had the opportunity to take Alexandra's 8th and 9th month photos. I found the settings I liked on our camera on the 4th of July and found I was able to capture these pictures of fireworks.

4th of July, Pictures of Fireworks at Elk Grove Park

We had Elizabeth and Alexandra over to our house to take pictures of Alexandra for her monthly photos. She always has fun when getting her pictures taken.

Then a few weeks later we took her 9 month photos out at Elk Grove Park, and she started to figure out how to keep herself up when you stand her up. She enjoyed being at the park, with all the ducks around, it kept her entertained.

We went to Bodega Bay at the end of August and had a fun time with the inlaws. I found when we go camping I like to take pictures of the water. I try to catch water in wave form or when it hits an object. I have plenty others, but they all looked too busy, this one I thought worked.

I have more pictures and look forward to putting more pictures up... when I have time. :)

Bring May Flowers (and June)

The month of May and June were fun months. We had the chance to have a house party at Thomas' (Heather's brother) house as well as Ward's (Heather's dad) retirement party. But to start off in May we had the chance to see Alexandra eat with a spoon and she enjoyed it a lot.

"I Can do it"

"Ok, I'll let you do it this time"

"You looking at me?"

"Ummm... Ice Cream! Can I have some?"

"Ok, this will do."

She is so adorable and I love taking pictures of her. She has so many cute faces and reactions to things.

Til next time....

April Showers

To start off my blog postings, I am going to start from about the time we left off and work from there. We had a few times within the month of April that I had a chance to take pictures.
