Jim's and Evelina's wedding was beautiful with a perfect view of the Pacific Ocean in Oxnard, CA!


Joyful guests arriving.


The flower girl, Julianne.
Playing around with the settings, and I captured this shot that I love!
Jim walking with his mom.

Julianne taking her flower girl job to heart.

A very serious ring bearer. Not sure if he was cold, or nervous!Evelina walking with her dad.


Jon right after finishing the sand ceremony.
Of course, the kiss!

A rare moment of peace between them. I think I was the only one to hear the exchange. Jim was telling his new wife how much he loved her.


Fist bump!
Evelina with her father, sister, brother-in-law, and adorable niece!
Look at little Julianne, and you can see how cold she is by this time!
What a wonderful blending of families!


Sweet centerpieces!
Evelina let everyone know which table to sit at by labeling rocks with the family name, and table number. What a cute idea! Jon still has our special rock!


The toasts started off with Jon and Charlie, brother's of the groom.

A wonderfully animated toast!
One of my favorite shots!

This picture cracks me up!

I gave the camera to Charlie so that I could dance with Jon.


Gotta have the brother dance!
Jon and Rachel enjoying a dance together.
My boys!

We went camping for the first time for 2009. We went to Lake Livingston State Park. Jon is going to help tell you about some of the pictures this time.

I am playing with my M&M car. The car is going really fast.

I am doing a treasure hunt. I found a big truck.


This is the truck.
We saw this marking on a tree in our camp site.
This is the slide.
You know it's windy when you have water breaking at the edge of a lake.
I love this picture!
This is the tonka truck. I went for a walk with it.

I fell over.
Jon thought it was pretty funny when he tumbled!
As always, I was playing with the settings.

Charlie got a turn with the camera!

daddy put a rope on the truck.

We had a fabulous dinner Saturday evening! We brought some fajita meat that had been marinated, bell peppers and onion. All of it got cooked over the fire, even the tortillas. Best fajitas we've ever had! The left overs made breakfast even better!
I was playing with the door.
I was eating sun chips.
I liked my dinner.
It was cold outside. Daddy was warm.
I was playing with my Didj.
I was playing in the trailer.


I was giving Daddy a kiss.
It was a wonderful camping trip! The weather was just about perfect. It was very cold Sunday morning, so Charlie built a fire. The pictures from the snuggles on down are from that morning.
