Aaron + Pasi (finally)

Sorry for the long delay. I think I got the swine flu (hahaha) or is it just the "parent-teacher conference" flu? Ahhh stress. If only I could just quit my job and do this for a living. I imagine myself playing with my kids in the day, editing by night and then on the weekends we would all fly off to some beautiful place to shoot a romantic and gorgeous wedding. Imagine that. It would be pure bliss.

Anyway...these two are so adorable together and their kids are gonna be so cute. I am already excited for that (whoa, I know, slow down, not to put any pressure though, hahaha).

Aaron + Pasi (almost there)

I shot over 1,000 pictures this past weekend of my gorgeous sister-in-law Pasi with her hunky hunky (now) husband. I am almost finished and can't wait to post the rest. Their wedding was a blast!!! The food was ooh-ooh good, the entertainment was hilarious, and Marley ran all over the place with no shoes, stained red punch down her white dress and her hair a crazy mess, but she had the biggest grin and happiest little skip I have ever seen. We had so much fun just being all together as a family

(we're talking one BIG family).

Sami's Baptism

Sami, my beautiful niece, was baptized last weekend. We always love getting together with family. I especially love it because I get to take pictures of all these cute kiddos.

our family christmas card. hahaha

I can't get enough of this cute thing.

These two are only 20 minutes apart. Ahhh, the future they will have together!

Ring-Around-the-Rosies is apparently still a big hit these days.

Sami took these pictures.

A Rasta

While in a store I was wearing Heinrich's "Bob Marley" lanyard around my neck.

Sitani: Mom, you're not a rasta.

(apparently my three year old son thinks his daddy is a rasta.)

The AMAZING super-hero Dad

Today my husband did the dishes, put Marley's hair in a ponytail, took the kids to the gym for a couple of hours, fed and held Elijah, picked me up from work, and even cut the coupons out of the newspaper while searching KSL for a new mattress (ours is long gone). Although I HATE leaving my kids to go back to work, I am so blessed to know that he is such a good dad and they absolutely LOVE spending that time with him (especially Marley).




(It's getting to be that time of year again)

(Partyland football players... $3.00....Priceless)

Cosmo came to the school and SItani and MArley got to come. He picked up Sitani in the middle of this huge crowd of kids. It was cool to see how happy Sitani was.

I put Elijah sitting up on our couch and came back into the room to see this on his head.

Akiona Family

I am just LOVING these guys. Seriously, they are the cutest family EVER!!! (not to mention some serious supermodels and hotties). These guys are like our little buddy family that we LOVE to hang out with. Tracie and I actually worked together back in Hawaii at the Polynesian Culture Center. We worked for a company called Photopoly and yes we had to dress tourist up in hula skirts and leis and take pictures of them with our super-hot polynesian models. It was a blast job and lots of memories there. It is pretty crazy because we ran into each other again when Heinrich and Kala started working together. We've had a blast this past summer with our fanatic yet fantastic six (and some) "Yard Sales" and not to mention famous "Barbeques". Yeah... we are rolling in the dough now. Hahaha. Thank you guys for letting me take pictures and be in the presence of "GREATNESS". Your family is gorgeous.
