4th of July

Hope you all had a great Independence Day!

I love days off. They are the best!

We slept in (obviously), and then headed

to the Ward Party. Then went home, took a nice

nap, relaxed, BBQ-ed on our balcony..

played video games.. watched tv...

relaxed some more.. and played with our pup!

We headed up to our nearby hill where I go

all the time to take pictures. Whisler Ridge Hill.

We saw minimum 30 shows from our spot!

It was awesome!

((trigger LOVES lasers!))

Conference Weekend

We have had a pretty chill weekend.

We love those.

Trigger does too.

you guys are going to die. i photographed this backyard

on friday for a client that i have. i just about died when i 

saw the backyard. it was featured on HGTV's "I Want That"

this is just on my phone, but i'll check out my work

FB page and there are a few more

I am THRILLED now to say I am a proud owner

of a 10-22mm ultra wide angle lens. 

this is the big time people.

some clients have actually refused to do work with me

until i got this lens. now no one can say no to me! :-)

Its truly remarkable how wide it is without distorting

the photos in any way. it makes a HUGE difference

especially in smaller properties.

We headed to the gym on friday night as well.

We like to do that together. 

I also like to sneak pix of my hot hubby

lifting weights. hehe 

Did you know this machine is called the 

Thighsolator? 

this thing is a beast but i love it. 

especially when checking out my 

brand new birthday kicks. 

Nike Zoom Structure 16+

I also might have kicked my OWN butt on the treadmill

but i am SO glad i did.

***Now Go Workout Everyone!***

it's good for you

my little human and lunch

my little pup is turning into a human. 

puman.

This is in our bedroom and he'll just perch up on the window sill

and watch other dogs or people go by. So funny.

For visiting teaching this month, I was 

fortunate to get 2 new girls

to teach me. I am thrilled to say the least.

They took me out to Rocq Cafe 

in lake forest.

If you haven't been, it is a little gem 

and you need to go asap.

right now. run. it's a french place.

I got the la normande crepe with ham, 

swiss cheese, 

mushrooms and a mouth full of other 

flavors on a wheat crepe... 

I've never had a 

non fruit crepe 

before so I wanted to see what

 that was all about. 

So. Good.

I also got to try a macaroon

for the first time! 

LOVED THEM.

chocolate mint is my favorite, 

of course.

and lastly how could you go wrong with a
 8 minute 1994 ab workout via youtube

Please check it out and do it every single day.

I am. 

You'll be better for it.

and p.s. i hit over 100+ miles of running 
so far this year
i am excited. i need to get
my butt in gear if i'm going 
to do 1,000 though!
