Madisyn had her birthday party at her Preschool. Derek and Amy had cupcake cakes made and we went and picked up pizza for the 45 kids.

Her special Mermaid cake!
A boy in her class getting his face painted by the teacher:
The birthday girl herself!
There was a special Jumpy brought in just for her birthday! I love this one of her jumping at me!
And her new toy! Only 5 year old I know with her own quad! 🙂

I met my friend Kim, her sister Mandi, niece Paige and nephew Sean at Chuck E. Cheese’s last Sunday. You may recognize the family from an older blog.

I love this shot of Paige playing Skeeball. Talk about great timing (I wasn’t even looking! haha)

The gang 🙂 Kim, Paige, Sean, Mandi and (brunette, surprise mom!) Me

I had the pleasure to shoot a 50th Anniversary open house on Sunday June 24th. The lovely couple is my Aunt Rhonda’s (married to my mom’s brother, Dave) parents. Whew, did you follow that?

Rhonda and her family did a fantastic job decorating and setting everything up! Their last name is Shell, so the theme of shells was carried through every small detail.

Cake is from Gloria’s Bakery in Escondido. The cake was so yummy, I’m going to start referring brides to this bakery!
Beta fish were on every table!
Personalized M&Ms – what a great detail!
They had a display of their wedding, including her dress, her going away after the wedding dress, guest book, cards and photos!
My aunt Rhonda and Uncle Dave:
The happy couple feeding each other cake!

Thanks to the Shell extended family for treating me as your own. I had such a fun time and was so happy to be part of the festivities!

Madisyn (our friends Amy and Derek are the creators of this adorable child) turned 5 this past Saturday. Thursday night we went out to dinner at Hooters! Madisyn loves the balloons and stickers, and the boys love the….wings.

And our waitress making Madisyn do the chicken dance!
Madisyn loved the attention, but is great at acting shy!
Me and my favorite little birthday girl!
