Airport

It had been over a year since I had been to Sky Harbor Airport so when we went, I was amazed at how much they had added. We stopped in at this air museum to have a look and I got this shot of Kayden looking at this piece. Think he'll be an astronaut when he grows up? :)

New Shoes

Why does anyone live in Arizona? It is SO. HOT. And it's not going to get better until... New Years? We went to the mall to play today and just getting into the car felt like an angry oven. I can't tell if the sun hates us or loves us - I can't stand the heat. At the mall, I felt bad Kayden was wearing tennis shoes (it's definitely sandal weather), so we picked out some stylish new sandals. He had these same ones last year but unfortunately, these feet grow. So new shoes are in order every third day it seems. I'll be shooting Jess next week, so look for her soon!

When Life Hands You Lemons...

Life has actually been giving me a few cups a sugar to go along with those lemons lately. Last weekend, our California trip was cancelled at the last minute, but we were able to book a flight out for my grandmother. She met my son for the first time and spent four days with us.

We cooked all weekend, watched movies, relaxed and went out on the town. Here's Eric watching Kayden run around while we were waiting for a table.

And Kayden pausing before running down to Mexico and back in 2.5 seconds. The energy of that one - my Grandmother was calling him a little machine in Spanish all weekend. With this shirt he wears, we say "Where's the cat in the hat?" And he looks down at his tummy. Have I told you I'm in love with him? Because I totally am.


Other good news: I finally upgraded from Photoshop 7 to Photoshop CS3 Extended and I love it.

And, yes, I made lemonade tonight and took that photo on my dining room table. I guess the secret to making good lemonade is to disolve the sugar in a little boiling water before adding it to the lemon juice and water... mine came out not so good this time. Maybe next time.

Caden

Everybody remember Caden? Well, he came over the other day and played with Kayden's toys which completely freaked Kayden out.

It was pretty confusing to both of them with their names being the same

After Caden left, Kayden had a really long nap because that visit alone made his day long and tiresome.

and I caught a couple cute pics as well. :)

23 Months

Satisfying our urge to get a new pet

Father Son Post

Kayden woke up from his nap too early and couldn't go back to sleep. So Eric took him to enjoy a cool breeze that was passing through our front yard to calm Kayden down a bit.






After swinging for a bit, dad's mission was accomplished. No more sad baby (even though he still had a rather large tear hanging out on his cheek...) ---

Until we got inside, then Eric was the bad guy for bringing him inside when he wanted to be OUTSIDE. I asked Kayden for a kiss and he gave. Then I said, "hey, can daddy have a kiss too?" and he shook his head no. Dad was in the dog house.

Headshots

Awhile back, I posted about Katheryne Mitchell and Signing Hands Outreach and about the benifits of signing. Since then, I've spent a lot of time reading about signing and learning new signs and trying to get Kayden to climb on board. So the other day, I got together with Katheryne for some new headshots. While editing, I found that she looks totally dramatic and lovely in black and white - so a lot of them are converted and look fabulous! Here are my top five faves:

Thanks so much Katheryne, for inviting me over - I hope you like them! :)
