Spring Break 2008

I've been inspired by a wonderful photographer and all around sweet gal, Michele at Pinkletoes Photography, to start a family blog. Rosa, Francie and I attended her "Cupcake Academy" photography workshop last weekend and had a blast. Michele took our maternity pics and the beautiful shots of Avery that were on her birth announcement. Check out www.pinkletoes.com if you're interested in seeing her cool work and her own cool blog.

Lucky for me I had plenty of opportunities to practice my papparrazzi skills this week on Spring Break with the familia. My family was held captive at a house we rented on Lake LBJ for 2 days :) Here are some of my favorite shots...far from the greatness that is Pinkletoes, but it's fun trying!

My super cool nephew Rickey - the t-shirt rocks. He may look too cool for school but he had a blast picking strawberries at the detour we made to Sweetberry Farms.




These were the vacation "bugs" on the trip - Rickey, Sr. and Jr., mom, dad, Cristina, Jamers and of course me and Avery - behind the lens.


Our resident fisherman ...Juan, also known as Dorf, sitting on the dock at the Lake House.


Unfortunately, this was the only fishy that didn't get away :)



The Padillas chillin' on the porch, with Baby Sofia on Board. That wasn't just too many tortillas!





Adelita - we were so glad you joined us. Such a beautiful and sweet girl. She and Rick had a blast fishing, swimming, kayaking...and harassing farm animals!



James and "Wello-Guy" picking strawberries together. We got boxfuls and had vanilla ice cream and strawberries when we got home. Yum!



My Jamers. Doesn't he look so grown up and handsome? I think I just need to move to a farm or lake house permanently - he LOVED being outside. Here he is with his bucket of Curious George's.


Loved this shot of Avery-kins, my polka dot princess. She's either a drool monster or has those cute chubby fingers in her mouth starting to teeth. Michele - I think I got some catchlight here :)


Still figuring out this blog thing, but hope you enjoy!
Love,M
