Switcheroo, AGAIN!!

March 14, 2008

I just hit “go live” on my new website so my old one might be jacked up for a while until it goes live.  Just thought I’d throw a head’s up!  It should be live within 36 hours.  I also have ANOTHER new blog! HAHA  I wanted bigger pictures and I wanted it hosted on my website so here is the new link: http://www.desireehayesphotography.com/blog/It was designed by the fabulous Holly McCaig from Pink Ink Studios.  She did my new splash page too!  Thank you Holly, you rock!

Met with Denise again!

March 3, 2008

Yesterday morning Denise Kramer (of Wine Country Photography) and I met up for coffee.  We are working on a new project together (info coming soon!) and decided to run around and take some goofy shots of each other.  Denise, you rock!  More to come….here is the first batch…ahahaimg_1153resized.jpg 

Our “serious goofy” LOL

Go Jevin!

February 29, 2008

Today Jevin got the science award at school.  His teacher was praising him for his “very inquisitive mind.”  My husband and I were laughing about that because sometimes the question after question after question is enough to make you crazy.  I find myself saying  ”I dont know, Jevin” like 14 times a day.

Weekdays at our house

February 27, 2008

Look a little something like this…….

Messy:

img_0992resized.jpg

 The video game boy (see, he’s totally fine with getting his picture taken IF it can be where and when he deems fit. LOL )  Oh and SOMEONE taught him to notice that there is a “hot chick” (his words, not mine!) on the video game.  Every time he gets to that part he comes and shows me “I got to the hot chick!” and laughs hysterically because he I tell him “you are FIVE!  You arent supposed to talk like that!” 

img_1001resized.jpg

Apparently we like to jump on the bed.  Oh and we like polka dots.  LOL  We detest that bed skirt though…..hideousness at it’s finest.  LOL (Hint, hint….Jon…read this…build us a bed…if you dont…I’ll have to hit up Ikea!) And please remember….it has been cold here…..hence the pasty white legs. HAHA

and the outtakes (a little too much spinning for Daph, she collapsed.)

My mom and dad

February 26, 2008

Smooch!!  Okay you two, I need to get some more.  LOL In all of these you are laughing hysterically.  I’m just putting one here for now, but I’ll get the others to you ASAP!

Chillin’ with the fam

February 24, 2008

We went up to Oak Glen again today.  Needed some more apples so we got an eight pound bag (made apple crisp for dessert tonight and still have a ton left over! LOL)  As soon as we got there we got some nice rain.  Lovely.  (That’s sarcasm…I really am not a fan of falling droplets onto my camera! LOL) The kids picked out some candy and we got some more apple butter.  We put that on our crepes or pancakes for breakfast (or Trader Joes organic raspberry all fruit spread…..that stuff is SOOO yummy and you cant beat $2.29!)  Anyhow….the only pic I got on the actual mountain (is that a mountain?  I’m guessing so, there was snow up there!) was a driving one.  A picture of my favorite weather (ha!)img_0862resized.jpg After we stocked up on apples we headed back down….and NO RAIN!  So of course I had to hit the traintracks! My favorite!  Papa and Daph:img_0879resized.jpg Laughy Daphy:
