And They're Off!

My good friends Lindsey Austin, Donna Austin, Richard Blackburn, Chase Hartzell and Mike Rush are racing in this year's TransPac on the J35 yacht "Addiction". They left today from Long Beach, CA homeward bound for Hawaii. I have been obsessively checking their position on the TransPac race tracking website. It updates itself every hour. Follow along their journey at their blog: http://addictiontranspac09.blogspot.com/
They are avid bloggers throughout the whole race. They have the equipment and the manpower to post photos too! Wooohooo Go Addiction!

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

As many of you may know, I was a huge Michael Jackson fan. He was, what I like to phrase as eccentric in his personal life, I will admit. But, in his public life, he was a musical genius. His music was the only thing that could get me out of my seat and up on the dance floor on the cruise ship...every time. I absolutely love to watch him dance. He was a fashion icon and the inspiration for many other singers. The master of the moonwalk: he was unique, he was "the King of Pop," and I will miss him.

Summertime Water Fun

What better way to cool off in the summer sun than with a little water fun?! After Remi's Babycakes photo shoot, we all took to the outdoor sunshine while the kids played in the pool and in the sprinklers. Babies + Water= Instant Fun!

Remi "Babycakes"

This is a preview from Remi's "Babycakes" session. It was done on her actual 1st birthday which makes it extra special. Remi had the cutest frosting mustache through almost the entire photo shoot and was not afraid of getting down and dirty with her giant cupcake! She had sprinkles between her toes, frosting in her hair, and strawberry cake bits stuck to her body.

Bridal Party Gone Wild!!!

Just a teaser from the Garner/Boone wedding on 13 June 2009 at the Hale Koa Hotel...

Lalea and the Blue Dress

Jennifer's Great-Grandmother made this blue dress for her mother when she was little. Her mother wore the dress, Jennifer wore the dress and now Lalea makes her debut in the blue dress!

See Jennifer's Baby Bump GROW!

This is an ongoing post as Jennifer's baby bump gets bigger!

Lalea "Babycakes"

So a valuable lesson was learned on this shoot. While Lalea was extremely adorable and photogenic to boot, you should never assume things you don't know for sure. Lalea did not like cake. She wouldn't get near it and absolutely hated the icing being withing 6 inches of her body. I don't blame her, the homemade cake was pretty scary. Nonetheless, I think the photos from her shoot were still priceless and a true show of her personality and I had a great time.
