Mother’s Day with Aunt B

---

---

My immediate family lives in Southern California, in Mission Viejo, Ca… My Mother lives in Easley, SC. Google says that’s 2300 miles. The trip to Buena Park is much closer and since they are sisters, I don’t mind lovin’ on my Aunt B for Mother’s Day. Grace and Mikey are both ALWAYS stoked to be headed to her house, she has a huge yard with great stuff in it, she has the water hose and bubbles, and she always has great munchies!  OK, those are the reasons I go too

 

We hung out most of the day, just talking, laughing and remembering my Grandma and Aunt Chris, both who have passed away. Our times with her and Uncle Craig are always good… as if we haven’t hugged enough while we were visiting, it still takes us 20 minutes to say our goodbyes.  Here is a peek into our loving family – there is a bonus gallery at the end of some things in her garden:

 

Some cool things found in her yard and garden:

Man I Love My Family!

For a while now, I have been taking photos with my iphone and the Instagram app and I have been tagging them with #manilovemyfamily. I am doing this to keep a running journal of what the family is up to. I wanted to share some of the most recent ones with you. Enjoy.

Lewis & Monica – Orange County Family Photography

I was so lucky to be called up by my friends and fellow Orange County Family Photoraphers Lewis & Monica Allison. They are such a great couple! Every time we get together, we seem to talk the time away – right Monica?!!??!  Well, a few weeks ago, God blessed them with Mia, the little beauty that you see here. OK, enough with the jibber-jabber, on with the family photos

Grace is THREE today!

Hi guys, just a quick post to share some photos from today. Grace has been looking forward to “Octomber da eiffth” for a while now and we are all glad (almost as much as she is) to say that she is now three! We met with Aunt Barbara and Uncle Craig for some beach time, digging for sand crabs, sand castle building and a little BBQ! Everyone had fun, even Mikey had so much fun he conked out under the umbrella
