I love you so much, Timmy! Happy anniversary to us!

To spare my readers embarassment, I will not post the UB40 and the Pretenders version  of ‘I’ve Got You, Babe’. But we’re thinking them.

taxi de la muerte

Last week was the long-awaited Death Cab for Cutie concert at The Fox! It was a very good show. They’re currently touring with the Magik*Magik Orchestra.

We went with Adan (aka Flan) and my friend Laura. Good times, good times. The opening act, Youth Lagoon, was just ok. A little whine-y – plus, the guy was like 12 and it was weird as opposed to impressive.  Ha.

I was happy to note that Ben Gibbard sounds just as good live as he does on the albums, and though a mellow style of music, the show was fun. So happy when they played ‘A Movie Script Ending’, but bummed that ‘Brothers on a Hotel Bed’ didn’t make the set list.  Phooey!

In other news, my adorable son is growing up ridiculously fast. Look at this:

Also, I don’t know how I am going to make do without ‘House’. Crying ridiculous amounts the past few episodes. One episode left.  One word: Oreos. :(

Summer Wind

I’m so excited with the way my summer wardrobe is shaping up. With a few favorite pieces from years past, and some recent purchases, my wardrobe is rounding out nicely!

A few new pieces:

Vince Camuto ‘Miner’ sandal Mother’s Day gift from my mom! Woo hoo!

Soprano ‘Milla’ maxi – This dress is so silky soft, comfortable, yet elegant feeling. :D

Lush ‘Harper’ chiffon dress – I felt instantly lovely when I tried this on. Had to buy it.

Liz Lange for Target sunburst maxi – This is a maternity dress, but once I laid eyes on it I had to at least try it on. It doesn’t look like maternity – and the skirt is a swish-y material that makes me feel like a princess :-)

Mossimo ‘Perri’ – I think I need them in every color. Sexy AND comfortable

The Webster at Target ‘ Wallpaper Print’ dress - Timmy picked this out for me, and I love it! The blouson top and fun print are perfect for summer!

What are your summer staples?

It’s Mother’s Day – possibly my favorite holiday EVER. See 2011(part 1 and part 2) and 2010

I get to be mommy for these precious babies…

Marco

Stabler

Roux

Chloe (with her sarcastic face!)

And that is reason to celebrate.

Happy Mother’s Day to all mommies – whether it be people babies or fur babies!

Oh stuff n fluff

I have neglected my poor little blog.  Between editing photos, working, and trying to keep up with the most beautiful, energetic toddler in the world – well… the blog gets passed over for my time.

I have, of course, still had plenty of time for my iPhone. I figure I’ll share some of the things taking up my free time!

A molasses ginger cookie and a cappuccino at Model Bakery – the perfect mid-day snack when work makes my brain hurt

A lunch date with Timmy at Farmstead … we hadn’t been back since THIS VISIT and it was getting depressing! Such good food.

The most awesome cheddar biscuits!

Gardening inspiration (those are apple trees on the vine!) – pics of our apple trees soon!

Brain food – cake pops and iced coffees

My cat, Stabler, is kind of a big deal.

Also, I like to procrastinate.

The movie theatre in our backyard has re-opened after some renovations… :D

And this is thebestmovieever. All one word.

Homemade pound cake, homemade whipped cream, and fresh strawberries

Local’s night at Gott’s with Tim and Marco

Hanging at the park with this cutie

As you can see, a lot of food has been consumed lately. A lot of coffee, too.

Apples to Apples

After girling out via text with Micaela over Shabby Apple dresses we liked, I figured now was a good a time as any to post some of my current favorite looks from their shop!

‘Heart of Me’ faux wrap dress – I WANT THIS NOW!

‘The Red Queen’ lace dress – this will never not be pretty.

Dinner Group – the colors, the cut – all awesome.

Have you checked out their shop? What are your favorite dresses?

Rachael and Mike’s wedding!

Just a little sneak preview of the wedding I photographed in Sonoma a few weeks ago (you may remember the engagement session)…

The groom and his brother-in-law

The bride

Mr & Mrs!

One of the engagement photos even showed up on the wine labels!

Night time is the right time to dance

 The wedding was held at Larson Family Winery in Sonoma – a beautiful location for a wedding! The weather was perfect, and the bride looked beautiful.  It was an honor to be asked to photograph their day. :)

Boy

Leo Robert Gomer is here!! (4/19/2012)

Adrienne and Justin had their adorable baby, and I got to see him just a few hours after he arrived. I had to share a picture of this cutie pie!

Chocolate eggs and pancakes

I’m a week behind, but here’s some unbelievably adorable pictures of my boy during our Easter festivities! :-)

I even got a basket from the Easter bunny – complete with Cadbury Mini Eggs and a Kermit the Frog pez dispenser – thanks Mr Bunny. After our jelly bean appetizers, I made whole-wheat Bunny pancakes for breakfast. Actually, pretty darn good! I’m not generally a pancake person, but the whole-wheat flour created a tasty flavor.

After our breakfast, we watched Sesame Street, read books, and got ready for our day with Tim’s parents and grandparents. My son is hilarious about his clothes: he has to pick his own outfits. He picked out every item, down to his socks. MY KID IS SO FLIPPING STYLISH. Also, he’s a ham – he started posing for the camera! Tim stood behind me and did funny poses that Marco imitated – it was awesome. Next time CrewCuts needs a model, they should call Marco, am I right?

Once we got to Judy and Len’s, Marco hunted for eggs (I didn’t think he’d be into it, but he thought it was the most fun thing ever), and we noshed on good food all day (my kind of day, lol!).

When will it feel like spring?
