Pebbles and BamBam

So I'm getting a little stir crazy from staying home with sick kiddos. I've had my fill of whining, crying, and neverending mocos. I figure I'd entertain myself and take some pictures. Nia's hair is always in her eyes and hairclips never stay on. So I gave her a quick Pebbles hairdo and asked Ilan if he wanted one too. Ilan, never wanting to be left out, said yes. I know he won't appreciate this when he's older.

6 months

We celebrated Nia's half birthday with half a cake - just like we did for Ilan. Only difference is that Nia tipped over face first into the cake! Her whole face was covered in chocolate frosting. Poor Ilan was so upset, he thought his little sister was hurt. He cried more than she did.

Here's Nia before her bath. She's not a happy camper.

love, Love, LOVE

I looooove my brand new lens I got for my birthday!! It takes great close-up shots and does great in low light conditions. It should definitely improve my picture taking. Thanks Mom, Yvonne, and Mrs. Saldua for the lens!! I've been having tons of fun with it.

I don't know why, but I like this shot. I love Ilan's toes ...

Cloudy days

We've really been enjoying these past couple of days with the overcast. It doesn't seem so ridiculous to be outside in the 105+ degrees when the sun's hiding. Ilan and Aly rode their bikes while I practiced using my camera on manual.
