Half Moon Bay

First trip to the beach this summer! Definitely need to get over there a little more often (especially since I got a new bike, and Ry is getting a new Bod!!) He has a little competition going with one of his friends at work. This week he is winning! Hopefully it will be over soon, I miss the old Ry...

First half of Summer!

Hard to believe that we are already half way through summer. We took our annual pilgrimage to Utah to spend some quality time with our dearly missed family. Nothing feels more like home then spending time at Pines Ranch. There are so many days that  I wish myself there.  After spending a day at the Pines, Ry and I were off to Europe sans kids. A big thanks to both of our parents who took care of them while we were away.  Back to Utah and a day at the ranch so  Ry can justify his truck, and feel like a real cowboy roaming around WY. Luckily Buzz and Jenn keep it stocked with plenty of fun things to do. The Ranger was a huge hit. We just can't figure out where we could drive one around here.  We ended our time in Utah with Ry's family who hosted us up in Midway (thanks Greg and Chris). We loved it there, especially now that they have legalized the big fireworks. It is always hard to leave all of the cousins, but it is also nice to unpack and sleep in our own beds!

Me or the dog!

Over the past few days Ryan has been feeling like it's either him or the dog. He is not a dog person! I caught him in a weak moment (while we were in the middle of our remodel) and was able to convince him that Abby needed a dog. Nestle is a great dog, but she is a dog....  The tipping point for Ry was when he was going to take her out before we went to bed and she was already asleep. and did not like getting woken up, and bit him!!! Looks like he has two women in his life that like their sleep.. Anyhow,  there has been a lot of talk around here about if the dog is going to stay. Luckily for the dog, Ryan really loves Tanner and Tanner could never part with her!

Walk Through..

 Before I ever do I photo shoot I go through with the designer and discuss how we will style the shot.  Loved working with Alexandra today. Her work is so vibrant and fun! I didn't have my tripod or lights, but had to share these shots because it was such a fun unique house! Can't wait to see how they turn out when we set it all up....

Nipomo

We had a great time at the Remnants Past show down in the valley... I think the best part of the trip was all of the food we ate. Here are just a few pictures of our tasty treats!
